lTURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 6, 1894.

I'm the audience cried out as the Governor
was closing his speech that protection BEN
pulled out before reply could be made
AT Stewart the Governor said: Some
body at the last station said as we were
leaving that protection only helped the
manufacturer. There are many thousands
of workmen in this country who could tell
that man Of his error. The reduction OF
duty made by the tariff law of 1894 has
been followed by a reduction in wages.
because if the manufacturer of the United
States Is to continue in business he Is
compelled to reduce wages in order to
compete right at his own doors with the
manufacturers OF foreign nations.".
A number Of stops of one or two minutes
place there was a crowd that insisted upon
hearing word from Mckinley. The pri--
vate car of General Dodge was attached
guests OF General Dodge were Col. Fred
Grant, Tecumsen Sherman, Maj. Hoyt
Sherman and General Howard. 1t became
known along the route that the sons of
General Grant and Sherman were aboard
the train, and they were compelled to
show themselves, and at several points to
say few words. Colonel Grant was pre-
sented to the crowd at Avoca at the con-
clusion of Governor McKinley's speech, and
failed 10 get on the train in time. 1t was
held at Walnut while Colonel Grant came
tearing after on a locomotive, and he was
given three rousing cheers when he made
panied Governor Mckinley from Council
Bluffs TO Des Moines.
Governor McKinley's reception in Des
Moines extraordinary. He was fol-

sands of noisy men, who surrounded his
carriage and kept up a continuous YELL
which was joined in by other thousands
that packed the sidewalks The windows
along the route were filled, too. and from
them came cheering. 1t was a wonderful
demonstration. Colonel Grant came in for
a large share of attention, too, especially
from gray-haired men wearing G.. A. r.
badges, who searched the carriages until
they located Colonel Grant, and then shook
his hand with vigor that often approached
violence.
Governor Mckinley made two speeches.
the first at the Tabernacle and the other at
the opera house both of which were liter

Position of General Harrison as
Viewed by Gen. Lew Wallace.
ST. PAUL Minn., Oct. 5.-Gen. Lew
Wallace. who is here on his way to the
Pacific coast. said this afternoon: "My
opinion is that General Harrison will not
be candidate for the presidential nomina-
ton in the active, pushing sense; in other
words. that he will not make a fight for
the nomination. But contingency might
arise wherein the members of the conven-
ton, representing the united sentiment OF
the Republicans Of the country, will de-
mand that he accept the nomination, and
in that event / believe he would accept il
as duty TO his country and his party"
General Wallace thinks that David b. Hill
will be the Democratic nominee. Conclud-
ing, the General said: 81 wish / felt as
sure of eternal salvation as / do that this

William E. Coffin, the junior member of

were convicted in the federal court here in
connection with the wrecking of the In
dianapolis National Bank. He was on the
bonds of his brothers during the bank
cases. and made affidavit that he was
worth 100000. Since his release from the
penitentiary Francis Coffin has been en-
ployed by his brother in New York. Cof-
fin & Stanton have handled a large num-
Der of Indiana city and county bonds. 1t
will be remembered that during the Sulli-
van city administration the firm agreed to
take s621, 900 issue of municipal bonds,
but afterwards refused to accept the bonds
alleging a flaw in them. A deposit of $751;
900 had been made, and the city sought to
hold this. but the federal court decided in
favor of the firm.

PARTNERS FALL OUT
THE COURT APPOINTS A RECEIVER
FOR STANTON & COFFIN,
And MIR. stanton Asks for n Dissolu-
tion of the Firm-Assets, S3,6OO,-
OOO-weu Known i'm Indiana.

NEW YORK, Oct 5.-On the application
of Walter Stanton, of the stock brokerage
firm of Coffin & Stanton, 40. " Broadway,
Judge Lacombe, of the United States Cir
cult Court, to-day appointed Newman Erbe
receiver of the firms assets. The applica-
ton for a receivership was merely result
of the failure of the partners to agree. II
IS claimed by Mr.. Stanton and all who
know anything about the affairs of the
firm that the assets will be more than
enough TO cover the liabilities. The liabil-
tiles are reported by Mr.. Stanton at $780,
0Go. The assets consist of stocks, bonds and
credits, and 1t is claimed that by the meth
od adopted for the winding up of the busi-
ness of the firm loss and depreciation will
be prevented.
Mr.. Stanton, in his petition. asks for the
dissolution OF the copartnership and an ae-
counting of the dealings and transactions
Of the firm from the beginning. The busi-
ness of the copartnershlp has been that OF
dealing in State, municipal, railroad, gas
and water bonds. The firm has a foreign
branch at No. 43 Threadneedle street, Lon
don, run under the style of Coffin & STAN
ton Qimited)
Receiver Erb made the following state
ment: Il have been absent in Europe all
summer. and only returned a few days ago.
| am, therefore, unfamiliar with the details
of the affairs of the firm. This step, how
ever, has no semblance of an assignment,
the concern is sound, and it is prob
able that one or the other of the two part
ners will ultimately continue the business.
The trouble is primarily due to dissensions
in the firm. For some time past Mr.. Stan
ton and Mr.. Coffin have been unable to
agree. These differences of opinion, how
ever, in no way involve the integrity of
the members of the firm. But Mr.. Stanton
wanted to do one thing and Mr.. Coffin
wanted to do another. Finally ii became
so difficult to carry on the business under
the existing circumstances that it was de-
cided to apply to the courts for re-
ceiver." The bond of Mr.. Erb was fixed al
81. 900, and mis- sureties are the Lawyers
Surety Company. of this city.
