THE Now Worlds special correspondent

Sullivan to New Orleans telegraphed his
paper the following account Of what took
place at Dayton. O.:
DAYTON. the gem city of the West, was
reached at $50 p. NJ. and fully 5000 OF its
citizens were waiting for the train. There
are few towns in the country where John j..

If lie had any doubts as 10 the loyalty or the
sports. they were dispelled when the first
wells of welcome were heard. In the throng
we're hundreds of disabled veterans from
the National Military Home.
Dayton is famous for the beauty OF Its
women and the reputation is well merited
indeed. If the Tosy-cheeked and bright

rangements for this event. Mr.. Martin,

! much he may seek to cover up and conceal
| from view, for q present advantage, what
his real opinions are and what the real end
which he strives for 10. These expressions
uncover Sir. Harrison's real state OF mind.
and thew disclose to us that he is as steadily
bent upon passing o Force bill to-day az he
was three years ago, and with these serti-
ments deliberately uttered by him, how any
Southerner can take q step that could posi-
blv aid in his election passes our conpre-
hension.
It is true that Dir. Harrison couples these
expressIons with some twsddle to tho effect
that it would be wise for Congress to pro-
vide for a non bipartisan commission TO con-
slider the whole matter of elections. But
this is plainly the merest suoterfuge 10
divert the attention of Southern people from
his real ain. 1t is a sop to Cerberus and a
tub to the whale. 1t is thrown in to give
the Third party leaders in the South
something with which they may call on at
tention from the horrors of the Force bill.
1t .s put out that they may say Mr.. Harrl-
son is for nothing more than a ~non-partlsan
commission to mako inquiry concerning the
best measures to be adopted. But IS 1t pos
sible tina our people can be misled by any
such childish stuff as this Do they not
know that the Republican party. OF which
Mr.. Harrison is the candidate, has a per-
fectly distinct idea OF what it wants to do.
and that it wants no n%on-partisan commits
sion TO be instructing it in its course: Do
they not know that it proposes TO force US
by Federal power to submit to negro rule!
This new dodge of Mr.. Harrison will fool
nobody down here. He had just as we'll
have saved his credit and stuck 10 his Force
bill in name. The ostrich has hidden his
head, but his legs and BODY are completely
Visible to tho naked eye.

BRADsTBEETs for August publishes a list of
strikes during that month. The number
was ffty-four, and Al, ia men were involved.
Nothing is said of the women and children
who suffered by reason of the sudden loss
of pay to their husbands aud fathers, but
it is u safe estimate that they could not have
been less than 800, 600. Mr.. Harrison made
no ~allusion whatever to these little things
in his letter Of acceptance. To the con-
trary he states that wages have been adj
vanced everywhere. and that the American
workingman has enjoyed uninterrupted
happiness and prosperity under the McKin-
ley law.

Me. HARRISON has mixed these babies
up" 80 that now the 'niggors" don't know
whether he is for or against the Force bill.
He has confused the case to such a degree
that it is as perplexing as that of Innis
Randolph's dGrkey who was found drowned
in York river with a fishing-line tied to his
heel, while at the other end Of the line was
a dead drum fish. On that occasion it will
be remembered:
The fishermen thought it would never be
known.

Whether the Niger a-tishln' had gone,
Or the fish had gone a-nlggerln'.'

DR.. Byron gave some interesting facts
about the peculiar symptoms of ASiatic
cholera in his talk yesterday.
Cholera is. not accompanied by great
