New York, Sept. 16.--The Herald
says: Another plague ship is in port,
and another story Of disease and death
on the voyage; eleven more victims to
the long list of those who died of cholera
between Hamburg and New York. This
is the story of the steamship Bohemia,
which reached New York last night and
anchored in lower quarantine. The
Herald tug, which had been waiting
for her inside the Hook, drew up
alongside as she steamed in,
and Captain Schroeder, came to the -ail
to tell about the voyage. He admitted

FAVORABLE WEATHER.
The day opened bright and frosty, just
the kind of weather to prevent the

have appeared here, and which were
concealed by the board of health, have
in no way alarmed the authorities or the
citizens. The people here have become

disease.
A PROBABLE SOURCE OF INFECTION.
Immigrant passengers of the steamer
Ffiesland, which arrived here August
10Th, seem to have brought the disease
to little Minnie Levinger, who died Sep
tember llth. They are traced back to
Antwerp, which they reached from other
cities OF Europe, doubtless infected with
cholera. When they reached quaran-
tine there was no illness reported
aboard, and after few hours deten-
ton and fumigation, they were allowed
TO proceed. From the steamship pier
the passengers scattered over the city
and country. Four young women went
to the house where little Minnie lived.
The infection was probably in their
clothing, as they escaped attack them
selves.
DR.. Jenkins evidently does not put
faith in this theory, and explains that
bis deputy reported no illness on the
Frlesland when she arrived. He ad-
mitted, however, that it might be pos
sible.

emphasis OF disapproval, the Democratic
declaration in favor OF destroying our
present system of currency and finance
tor return to the wretched and disas-
trou5 form OF state banks and unsound
currency.
Music hall was filed in the evening
when Mr.. Clarkson introduced the first
speaker, Hon. j. p. Dolliver, of Iowa.
Dolliver spoke on the issues of the day.
and on the careers of the Republics
and Democratic presidential candidates.
He said an astonishing feature of cur
rent politics was, that the Republican
party had permitted itself to throw aside
it's past record of great achievements
and fight it out on the history of the
past month. Ii the past had no lessons.
and no inspirations, he would freely con-
fess he could bring neither interest nor
enthusiasm into the present campaign.
Let us, as Republicans, keep alive the
memories of past years." he cried. "Let
not the history of the United States be-
come obsolete to suit the demands of the
Democratic party"
Governor Mckinley was the next in
troduced, and for some time the halt
was in perfect uproar, the audience
rising en- masse and greeting the gov
ernor with the waving of hats and
handkerchiefs. He spoke for some
time on the "two striking questions
raised by the platform of our political
adversaries-frst. its adherence to free
trade; and. second, its declaration for
the abolition of the tax on state banks
OF ISSUE"
Mckinley outlined the evils which
would result from step backward in
the currency matter, and said the DEM
ocratlc proposal for the abolition of the
tax on state banks ought to be sufficient
of itself to defeat the Democratic party.
He then turned his attention to the
evils of free trade, etc. and said the new
tariff law had vindicated itself. Ore

mont and Maine. As to tin plate.
he told what he saw at Elwood, Ind.
Tuesday. In that factory all the ma
chinery 1sed was made in the United
States, and the sheet steel used in the
manufacture OF tin-plate, was also made
in this country. '.The Democrats said
we could not make steel rails, nor pot
terry, nor plate glass;" said he, 'ebut we
are making them as good as any where
in the world, and SO it is with tin-plate.
The American people can make any
thing they want, and with adequate
protection, WILL"
The speaker, Sin closing, warmly
eulogized General Clarkson aa q match-
less leader.
Hon. John M. Thurston OF Nebraska
requested every young man present to
vote for the party Of protection. He
said every leader of the eo.called inde-
pendent party has been failure in

stirring speech in this city today, in the
presence of thousands of enthusiastic
Democrats. In his speech be declared
this to be the most important campaign
in recent years. The tariff question

the farmers to dswsnd relief from un-
just, unequal and excessive taxation
had arrived. He made an exhaustive
tariff argument and produced statistical
proof of his remarkable statement of
two years ago, that estimating farm
wages at the same rate as city wages,
lava crops had sold for 67 cents per acre
less than it cost to produce them. Gov
ernor Boies also discussed the force bill,
currency and other planks of the ma

REPUBLICAN CLUBS.
Convention Of the National League at
Buffalo. I.


Buffalo.
BUFFALO, N. Y. Sept. 15.--The fifth
annual convention of the National
League of Republican clubs was held
here today. After prayer and an ad-
dress OF welcome by Judge Haight,
President Clarkson arose amid applause.
He acknowledged the welcome, and ex-
planning the falling off in the expected
attendance, said it was largely due to
the cholera scare keeping away many
delegates.
Roll call showed that thirty-two states
and three territories were represented.
On motion of Campbell, of Illinois,
college club delegates were seated. Pres
ident Burke, of the college clubs was
loudly called for. Responding, he as
sured the convention that on the Sth
day of November they would be found
doing valiant work for the Republican
ticket.
President Clarkson's annual address
was largely devoted to the organization
and progress of the league and its work
as new element in politics. In the
course of his remarks he said "The
rising question of the time, the one for
which the next national campaign is
surely to be fought, is the labor ques-
ton. BY that time, the Mckinley bill
will have fully demonstrated the wis
dom of the American policy, and will
have gained the approval OF the major
ity of American homes, as the perma-
nent policy of the republic. Next No
vember the workingmen and farmers
and business men, and all elements will
join in striking down the declaration of
the Democratic platform OF 1892 in favor
Of free trade as the American rule, and
free trade wages for American working
men. The same good elements, I am
