Republican Representatives, who supported
the measure to q man, not dollar would
have been appropriated, and our great
national undertaking would have become
an object of ridicule to the whole world.
We look upon our history during the last
30 years, and don't find in the Democratic
party single patriotic or heartrefreshins
feature. Its conduct in the present. its re-
cent declaration against protection and
sound financial policy prove anew that,
like the Bourbons of France, it has learned
moth ing and has forgotten nothing. On the
other hand, when we look upon the Repub-
iican party and its history we find in it the
history of our country for the last genera
tion. All the noble achievements OF our
people have sprung from the progressive
spirit with which that party is imbued. 1t
has been the Republican party, and it is the
Republican to-day, which, in the first place,
provides for America and looks after our
welfare and the welfare of our children,
and, in the next place. inquiries after the
nations OF Europe.
Achievements Of This Administration.
The achievements of the Republican party
are eulogized at length. The foreign policy
of the present administration is re viewed
and the address then says:
But the greatest triumphs Of the present
Republican administration have been
achieved in economic results. Under Har-
rison, France, Germany, Austria, Italy,
Spain and other countries have removed
tnelr pronloltory measures aSalnsg tne I'M
portation of American pork; tolls upon
cereals were reduced in France and Ger
many; and with other powers reciprocity
treaties were entered into, whereby our
commerce and industries have received a
new impetus, and from which all classes
will gather rich benefits. Every patriotic
citizen will therefore unite with rs in the
hearty wish: LET well enough alone"
Our country has grand future before It,
1t is to-day the mightiest nation on earth.
To maintain this position, free scope must
be given to its further development, and
knowing, as We do, that the Democratic
party has at ali times clogged the wheel of
progress-histoTy bears us out-and believ-
ing, as we do, that, true to its innate nature,
it will act in the future as it did in the past,
We will not follow its sllurements, but re-
main true TO the party of the Union, the
party of progress and national honor.

WIMAN'S EXPLANATION

OF Re marks Made by Him on Capital and
Labor-He Thinks Labor's Right to
Combine ls Equally as Defsnsible a.
That of Capital.
NEW YORK, Aug. 28-[Special ]-Erastus
Wiman's discourse on Capital and Labor"
at Prohibition Park Sunday week ago
aroused so much criticism that to-day he
again addressed the congregation at that
place for the purpose, as it is said, of e1-
planning some of the statements he had
made. Mr.. Wiman spoke as follows:
1t would seem that my speech last week
did not suit everybody. am very sorry for
that, but 1 firmly believe that some of the
antagonism displayed is purely the result OF
nv listeners misunderstanding what l said.
wrong construction was put on my words.
and to set things right am here to-day to
answer the three following questions:
First-Did you say that. the Vanderbilts,
the Webbs and tho Carnegies must take care
of their own property; that they must not
expect the State troops to settle their
troublef
second-Many understand you to say that
you were disgusted that your son had 10 90
to Buffalo to defend the property of the
great railroad kings. On the contrary, is it
not true that the soldiers went to Buffalo to
put down lawless acts and to keep the peace?
Is not Cn1S q uuCy 10 Dc D0rIOT1neu ny COo
Government, whether it be the cottages of
the poor or the storehouses and palaces of
the rich that are threatened?
Third-Wh hat did you mean by saying that
the MOST dangerous of all unions and com-
binations were those of rich men and rich
corporations; that these were the kind of
strikers that need most 10 be feared?
will take up the second question first.
In it am asked whether l expressed dis
gust un account of my son having to go to
Buffalo with his military organization, troop
"A.' My answer is no. l never said any
thing of the kind. 1 am glad to have a son
able and willing to respond to the call of
duty. But did say, and now repeat, that
the calling out of 1000 militiamen to put
down a handful of strikers was unnecessary
and hurtful. That strike was not put down
on its merits, but by force.
About the first question I have nothing
to say, excepting tpat 1 said no such thing.
Now about the third question. What said
last week was that great change, dam
gerous change, was coming over us. The
combination of capital is the great change,
and one we must look out for. II 1t was
deemed necessary to call out the militia of
either Pennsylvania or New ork to sup
press a few troublesome strikers who had
organized to demand an hours pay for an
hours work, why was 1t not necessary to
call ont the soldiers to suppress the 1nfa-
nous Reading coal combine?
Mr.. Wiman was applauded as he stepped
down.

RELIGION In ECONOMY.

The Subject of a Sunday Address by Score
tary Charles Foster at Asbury Park
Matters as Important as Finances Under
Control Of His Department.
AsBURY PARK, Aug. 2S-[ Special j.
-Four Thousand people assembled in the
Asbury Park Auditorium at the national
service this afternoon to hear Secretary
of the Treasury Foster and General Bussey,
Assistant Secretary of the Interior. White
law Reid was expected to speak, but he tel
eCraphed his regrets. The service was
opened with PRAYER by Rev. DR.. McCosh,
ex-president OF Princeton University.
The subject of Secretary Fosters address
was announced as Religion in'Economy."
In the course of his talk he said: SIT is
popularity supposed that the Treasury De-
partment looks after only the finances of
the country, but as a matter of fact it looks
after many other important matters. One
of the most difficult duties of the depart
ment is the proper administration of the
emigration laws. 1t is hard to determine
absolutely whether a man is brought here
under contract or is likely to become pub
lie charge. A young man without a cent in
his pocket, but strong of heart and limb.
is often less likely to become
pauper than the weakly man, with
most important duties of the Treasury De-
partmcnt at this time is to care for marine
hospitals at all ports of entry to this coun-
try. My only regret is that the general
government does not have more complete
control of all these avenues for the intro
duction to the country of cholera and other
infectious diseases The local control of
these quarantine stations is relic of the
States rights idea However, we have un-
dertaken vigorous measures for the exclu-
sion of foreign rags and passengers from in
fected ports, and the full power and in
telligence of the treasury service will be ex-
erted for the safety of the country"
A reference to Mr.. Blaine's name was
loudly applauded. General Bussey fol-
lowed with a short address. He said that
all opposition to law. whether by one man
or by an organized body of men, must be
crushed just as surely and as promptly as
was the Rebellion of the Southern States
He was heartily applauded when he advo-
Gated the most radical measures of treating
the Anarchists of the countrv

They have issued a statement of what they
did in ireland. According to this state
ment it was not until after the elections
that active measures were taken to bring
the leaders of both factions together for q
conference with the peace commissioners.
They wrote to Messrs. Redmond and Har-
rington, of the Parnellite faction, and
Messrs. Mccarthy, Davitt, Healy, Sexton,
Dillon and others of the anti-Parnellite or
Mccarthy wing of the party.
The commissioners proposed that each
faction appoint committee to confer with
the commissioners. Mr.. Redmond, the COM
missioners say, wrote on behalf of the Par

fused to name similar committee. For
this reason the conference could not be held,

anything to unite the factions

VIII BO'd His Title.
NEWPORT. L. l., Aug. 2S-The annual tour
nament of the National Lawn Tennis Asso-
cintion is approaching its end. Play in the
semi-fnal round postponed from Saturday
will begin tomorrow. AS to the outcome, it
is extremely hazardous to venture an opin-
ion, owing to the many surprises, OF the
tournament. 1t would seem as though
Hovey and Hall should win on Monday, and
SO come together in the finals on the day
following. But Wrenn and Larned are not
to be counted out until after their matches
have been decided against them. Neither is
generally looked upon as a probable, but as
possible winner. Both are strong aud cap
able players, and q score for either would
hardly be much of a surprise.
If Hovey and Hall finally meet, most of
those who have followed the play name the
former the more likely to win. Should
he play straight through tile game, of which
he Is capable, and not fall of badly at ortiz
cal times Us he Is likely to do with such
fatal frequency. he could scarcely be beaten
by Hall. he latter plays n strong and ex-
cellenr game, but with reckless. careless
ness now and then that may lose him the

to Mould Big Carriage.
WATERFOWL, MASS, July 28-A second
unsuccessful attempt was made at the
Arsenal yesterday to cast the big 16-ton
gun carriage for the Government, and a
dozen men narrowly escaped death or SER
ious injury. -Four months ago orders were
received from Washington to cast a gun
carriage alter the model of new inven-
tion, and active preparations to that end
were commenced by Major Riley. Two
weeks ago an attempt was made to make the
castings, which resulted in the spelling of
the mould. A new mould had been made,
which was ready for the casting.
Yesterday when the furnace was tapped
the big mass of molten metal shot in
stream 20 feet in the air. The men ran for
their lives. Major Riley, director Of the
operation, who was sitting on widow sill,
threw himself backward into the building
and escaped the flying drops of metal.
The workmen were equally fortunate. The
failure OF this attempt is attributed to the
dampness of the sand which lined the res
ervoir. Another attempt to cast the gun
carriage will be made in few weeks.

EADS' JETTIES In DANGER.

Opening nm O'd Pass.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 2S.-[SpecidL IA
crevasse Of considerable proportions is re-
ported at Passe Lontre, one of The mouths
of the Mississippi. The pass was in use as
one of the entrances Of the Mississippi a
half a century ago, but shoaled up. When
Eads' jetties were constructed the pass was
nearly closed in order to force greater
amount Of water through South Passe, in
which the jetties are constructed, and thus
flush the channel and deepen it. The
crevasse at Passe Lontre undone this work
and threatens to reopen the pass.
The Eads Jetty Company are alarmed at
this, and contemplate filling it in, but this
would prove q very expensive piece of
work. The United States engineers do not
think that the crevasse will do any more
damage TO the channel in the jetties than
the similar break at Cubit's Passe, Just
above these works, or reduce the depth of
water at the entrance to the Mississippi,
owing to the high water of this year. The
crevasses have been allowed to run longer
than usual, and have consequently deep
ened. Notwithstanding the report of the
engineers, the Eads Company will attempt
to close the Passe Lontre again.

The Futurtty was first run in 1888, the idea

The first race was won by Sam Brvant's

worth $4,000. Proctor Knott had won se,-

In 1889 the stake was worth $50. 600, and it
was won by Chaos. In 1890 Potomac won
the prize, which amounted to $6S 900, and
