Frank Hurd Introduces the Great Tariff
Reform Leader-Neal Makes q Great
Speech to q Great Audience mo Clap
trap-No Hired Shouters-No Dems-
Rogery.
Special to Plain Dealer.
TOLEDO, Sept. 26.-When Lawrence T.
N Teal appeared at Memorial hall this even
ing he was confronted by an audience
such as that vast assembly room has sell,
dom looked upon. Both in size and
intelligence 1t would challenge any like
body Of earnest voters In the land. Mr..
Neal was escorted to the hall by the chair
man OF the evening, Hon. Homer Hood I;
William Beatty and Hon. Frank Hurd.
The latter gentleman was first intro,
duced by the chairman, and when he rose
to speak he was greeted with . perfect
ovation. His remarks were brief, but they
fully showed the great pleasure he felt at
being called upon to introduce the man
whose straightforward tariff plank, ac-
cepted at Chicago, was upon the lines
for which he had fought SO vigorously
fifteen years ago in congress. Among
other things Mr.. Hurd said that in one
congressional district at least In north
western Ohio there WAS no road 80 rough
that it had not been travelled by an ardent
! free trader, and that while the banner
had not gone on to success at that time
the effect of the education remained. He
ended by eulogizinR Mr.. Neal for his un-
compromising fight over the tariff plank
at Chicago, and said that 1t was for his
fidelity then that he was welcomed SO
warmly tonight.
This brought Mr.. Neal to his feet, and
the way in which he proceeded to dissect
the Mckinley calamity howl, was worth
travelling many miles to hear, and filled
bis vast audience with delight. He spoke
| with eArnestnesE, and impressed his au-
dience with a sense of reserve force which
was masterful in the extreme. Begin
| ming with the statement that the country
is now resping the bitter fruit of Repuh-
lcan mismanagement and legislation, he
cleared away the wall behind which pro-
lection masks its sophistrieg, and showed
it in its true light as a taxer of
the farmer, the laboring man and the me-
chanic, for the benefit of trusts, syndi-
Gates and private corporations. His res
marks were frequently interrupted with
hearty applause, ald he was listened TO
with the greatest interest, particularly in
the portion of his speech which took up
the financial question.
The applause with which he was greet>
ed the conclusion plainly showed that
we will have no "off year." in Lucas
county at least.

JOHN G. DUEBER.
REPORTED BY THE ENQUIRER THAT
HIS LIFE WAS ATTEMPTED

BY Man who was Crassd by Liquor
A Statement of the Affair That Pur-
ports to Come From Mr.. Dueber's
Own Lips.
An attempt to verify report Of an al.
legged attempt 10 assAssinate John G..
Dueber was not entirely successful, the
parties who we're supposed TO know most
about IL seemingly knowing the least. The
report was current on the streets Satur-
day and Sunday. IL was understood that
Mr., Dueber knew nothing about the at
tempt on his life, and as he has not been
al home for couple of days local re-
porters could not find him. The Cincin-
natl Enquirer publishes the following
which purports to be statement of the
affair from Mr.. Dueber:
Mr.. John q. Dueber, of the Dueber,
Hampden Watch and Case works, of
Canton, Ohio, formerly of this city and
Newport, was guest at the Burnet House
yesterday. Mr.. Dueber didn,t look like q
man whose life had recently been at.
tempted, but In conversation which he
had with friends he told the story of his al
tempted assassination.
In the Canton factory is an employe
named William GaskinRs, who has al ways
been consi Tered most reliable and re-
spectacle workman. In the middle Of
last February, however, GAskings met with
a shock which is supposed TO have upset
his mind. His wife died suddenly and
while, he was on his way with
bis children TO see her buried at her old
home, Rockford. Ill. 4, one of his little ones,
. girl OF 3, died on the train. His grief
drove MIN aim 1st frantic, and he has act.
ed peculiarly at times ever since. Re,
Gently he has been drinking heavily.
One day last week he managed TO se-
cure possession of q revolver and dis
played IL TO other workmen, saying that
he Intended to kill John c. Dueber with il.
Not much attention was paid to hiB
vagaries until they came to the ears of q
workman who knew Gaskings' erratic
disposition. This man hurried TO hnd
him, a nd discovered him at the "west
bridge,n an egress from the works which
is always used by Mr.. Dueber when his
carriage arrives to take him home. 1t
was within few minutes of the time
when Mr.. Dueber usually leaves the works
when the workman found Gaskings.
Gaskings refused to give up the revolver
but the other workman finally managed
to wrench II from his hand and discharged
all OF the chambers. Since that time
GaskinRs has beon kept under sur.
veillance, but by Mr.. Dueber's request he
has not been arrested.

DENOCRATIC SESSION.
The Pennsylvania Societ Ies
Hold Their Convention.
PRESIDENT BLACK RE.ELECTEA y,

All other Omcers TO Serve Another Term. Z
The Platform Indorses the National sud
State Administrations A Very Harmon.
ious Meeting.
ALLENTOWN, Pa, Sept 27.--The gem
eral assembly of the Democratic 80
cieties of Pennsylvania was called to
order in its fifth annual convention by
its president, Chauncey f. Black. For
half an hour before that time the
Academy of Music rang with cheers
for the Democratic leaders and tre-
merdous ovation greeted Vice Presi.
dent Stevenson when he entered the
hall. The town had been alive from
earliest dawn with bands and newly
arriving delegates and 1000 people
filled the hall at the opening of the con-
vention. President Chauncey f. Black,
in calling the assembly to order, made
a speech in which he dwelt upon the
condition of the Democratic party,
locally and nationally, opening with
tribute to National Chairman Harrity,
''under whose steady guidance, and in
large measure in consequence of it,
the signal victory in 1892 was accom-
plished."
Mayor Allison followed President
Black with an address Of welcome,
after which Robert s. Wright was
made temporary chairman. He made q
brief address on taking the chair. Com
mittees were then appointed and re-
cess taken.
The convention was again called to
order by Temporary Chairman Wright,
who yielded the gavel to Il. r. Jones
.l,n II ,,,N
chairman. The committee on officers
for the general assembly reported, nom
mating Chauncey f. Black for presi-
dent, Major J. d. Worman for secretary
and Robert E. Wright for treasurer.
They were unanimously elected.
The platform which was then reported
and unanimously adopted heartily ap-
proves the Chicago platform of last year
and the Harrisburg platform of this
year; indorses and applauds the Demo-
cratic administration of President
Cleveland, Governor Pattison, and lis
upon "our representatives in congress
to support the president in his patriotic
efforts to secure the repeal of the pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman act,
and revision Of the tariff
on constitutional linesl in the inter-
est Of the masses of the people,"
1t demands a rapid and fearless execu-
tion of the antitrust laws on the statute
books and the enactment of others il
any shall be found necessary. The ar
raignment of the Republican party in
this state by the Democratic conven-
ton is affirmed and equalization of
taxes in the state, ballot reform and
treasury reform is favored. The plat
form commends the deliverance Of the
| Democratic state convention in favor of
a non-partisan judiciary and indorses
the nominations of Samuel q. Thomp-
son and Frank G. Osburn.
