Political News.

CLEVELAND, Sept. Ex-senator Sherman
spoke at North Fairfield, Huron county, to :
day. 1t was his opening speech in the cam
patRn, and he went into tho Fourteenth
congressional district, whore there ia bit
tor fight, with Congressman Harter, demo-
crat, on one side, and Il. G. johnson, re-
publican, on the other. About five thou
sand persons were at the meeting. Senator
Sherman reviewed the material proRress Of
the United States under protective tariff
since 1861, claiming that all prosperity is
duo the republican policy. He said: 1--WE
stand BY this policy. We maintain and
defend it as constitutional and right. as
beneficial to all classes of our people, and
as one of the best results of the republican
policy. To say that this policy of protec-
tion, the principal design of which is to
promote the interests of the laboring man,
10 fraud upon him. is falsehood which
every reasoning being can detect. Modern
democracy has thrown off all disguises and
deuiaFed opsniy for tbs doUtrino proclaimed
in tho confederate constitution, and first
announced by Calhoun
Sherman said he noticed that Senator
Hill insisted in recent speech that the
democratic party still stands ON the old
doctrine of tariff for revenue with inciden-
tai protection. Senator Hill's position, he
said. ia not tenable. for the reason that the
democratic convention not only rejected
the incidental protection idea, but substi-
tuted for it the provisions of the confeder-
ate constitution.
'it Is for you. fellow citizens" continued
the senator. "to say whether the republican
policy, which has mRintained so long and
successfully, which has produced such won :
derful results upon history and and the
prosperity of our country, which already
has advanced us to the richest farming
country and greatest manufacturing eoun-
try IN the world, shall be abandoned to
carry out the ideas of the confederate
states. and the free trade notions of COM
merclai cities and professional dudes. whose
only idea is that 'tis English, you know"
He quoted from the report of Labor Com
missioner Peck, CT New York. and dwelt
upon the decreased price of sugar. the en-
largement of foreign trade, etc. The sena-
tor said that while the democratic and re-
rphilcan parties occupied about the Same
position in their platforms on the silver
question 1t must not be forgotten that a
majority of democrats in both senate and
house frequently voted last winter for the
free coinage of silver. He said the result
Of free coinage would be disastrous to all
industries and especially severe upon the
laborer and the poor. The senator devoted
some time to democratic declarations in
favor of the repeal of the tax on state bank
circulation, and went over the history Of
wildcat banking in the west

NEw YoRK, Sept. 30.--Grovsr Cleveland
arrived from Buzzard'a Bay this morning.
He was driven at once 10 the Victoria hotel,
where he will remain during his stay, the
duration OF which is not known. He was
received by 200 people at tho pier. Among
the early callers was w. IL. Grace, who held
a brief conference with the ex-presdent. 1t
10 understood that the conference between
Cleveland and Grace related TO the anti
snaDper's position on local politics. Cleye-.
land subsequently said he could not discuss
the local political situation. Senator Hill
is here. 1t is understood the political man
ayers will try to get them together. All
members OF the democratic national oom-
mittee III town called ON Cleveland this
afternoon and remained with him over an
hour. They included Don M. Dickinson,
Secretary Sheerin, A. p. German. Calvin s.
Brlce, Josiah Quincy and b. b. Smalley.
This evening there were many callers at
Mr. Cleveland's apartments. Ex-Secretary
whitney remained with Mr.. Cleveland
most OF the evening. Representatives of
both the regular state organization and the
antl-snappers called and had conferences.
After the state committee adjourned with
out nominating a candidate for chief JUS
tlce OF the court of appeals. presumably y
waiting the action of the anti-snap pers,
Messrs. Croker and DAILY hurried over to
the hotel and had long talk. On leaving
the hotel Croker said he hpd important
matter but couldn't say anything about it
until Cleveland gave permission.
II Mr.. Whitney, who is generally recog-
nized as Cleveland's representative, speaks
his sentiments, the ex-president will not
oppose third ticket in the city. Whitney
is of the opinion that the more democratic
local candidates there are, the fuller the
vote will be for the national ticket Croker
said there ia danger from the third ticket
movement, not that he fears opposition to
tammany, but third ticket would be used
for trading, and the trading of legislative
candidates might cause the loss of United
States senatorship. When Mr.. Grace
emerged from his conference he said he had
long talk with Cleveland on the situation;
that the ex-president considered his pros
poets of election splendid. Judging from re-
ports received. Grace said he did not men
tion any Independents local ticket to Clevs-
land, not thinking the latter ought to be
asked to interfere in these local affairs. The
anti-snappers had meeting tonight at
which Grace was present. The general
sentiment Of the speakers favored putting
forth local ticket, and the sentiment was
Loudly applauded by the gathering. Moth
ing dennite, however, was determined, and
the conference committee was instructed to
see the other district organizations.
