the Committee of Congress in the interest
of some Wheeling manufacturers, ana
found that Mr.. Carnegie, Of Homestead,
had beeu there before him, and fixed tnlrgs
mn to suit him, and was it not Mr.. camp
hell of the Wheeling IntelligeRcer, who
filled all the Capitol grounds with his pro-
tests and possibly his imprecations on the
Committee for giving MIR. Carnegie all
the advantages. 1t was Mr.. Carnegie
who got there first ana got
cartain matters in the bill, and who also
cot certain other matters on the free list,
and got the protection rates EXTENDED 10
unknown figures on the articles he manu-
featured out of those free raw materials
and against which MIR. Campbell and the
manufacturers of Wheeling protested. MI;
Carnegie got his raw material admitted
free of duty. and then he adjusted his scale
of wages accordingly. Applause.l But
heipdustry in which Mr.. Carnegie was
engaged went down little in England, and
then it fell down little here, and he re-
duced his wages little TO keep things even.
His workmen protested, ana oloou was sIeu,
and the whole country was disturbed as
never before. and through 1t all Mr. Car
negie sat in an upper story of his Scottish
castle. and wrote another chapters upon
Triumphant Democracy. Applause

After devoting two hours to matchless
exposition of the tariff issue, Col. Fellows
took up the Force bill, which he denounced
as the browning infamy Of Republican leg
islation and for three-quarters of an hour ne
made an eloquent exposition of the intended
operations of that prospective bit OF legls-
lation. His expose of the operations OF the
bill was a model one, aud his audience was
enabled to see, as never before, the lnlqul'
ties of the measure, and the great import
ance of making its enactment Impossible.
Passing from this TO the situation OF the
Democracy of New York, he pledged that
State to Cleveland and Stevenson.
"Do YOU think the Democracy Of New
York is dividedl Did you hear the voice
in the Academy of Music in Brooklyn last
night" [Applause.]
He went on to explain the action OF the
New York Democracy at the Chicago Con-
vention, and said that, while its preference
was ably advocated, and the New York
Democracy had been accorded every right
to be heard, it had been defeated
fairly, and las soon as the choice OF
that Convention was maze, lts acIi0u oe-
came the Gospel Of the New York Demo
Gratis" The party in the Empire State
was united, harmonious and enthusiastic,
and would roll up in November, from the
cities of New York and Brooklyn, the
largest maiorities ever given Democratic
ticket.
Col. Fellows concluded his speech at
ten minutes of eleven o'clock, having held
his LARGE audience with rare tenaciJy. AT
the conclusion of his address, Chairman
Sommerville said that owing to the late
ness of the hour Mr.. John a. Howard
would defer his address until an
other time, and the audience dis
persed amid cheers for the speaker
and the cause of Democracy. Col. Fellows
was then escorted to his hotel by the
Young Mems Democratic Club, where be
was heartily congratulated by a large num-
Der of Democrats. He leaves this morning
for down the river.
