ONE MILL WILL START UP.

The Company Has a Stack of Orders on Hand.
 New Bedford, Sept. 5.-Quite sensa- ton was caused among the strikers this afternoon when it was announced the Bristol Mill would start up Monday next week on the old schedule. From general view 1t seems the manage ment of the different corporations have grown tired of waiting for somebody to take the initiative in starting up and that the Bristol Mill at last has de- cided to take the bull by the horns and act from the standpoint of busi- ness rather than of consideration of what the other mill men may think. This mill has stack of orders on hand which will take till February to fill and the directors are confident that if the mill Is started it can make money, as the Fall River print mills are idle. a.s....
 Something is in the wind, for the di- rectors this afternoon discussed the matter. It is an assured fact that the mills will resume operations next week and probably Monday. Superintendent Dimon was asked concerning the truth of the matter, but had nothing to say.
 All the bosses of the Bristol mill have been ordered to report on Saturday next and this is conclusive evidence that a break in the ranks of the cloth manu- featuring concerns is assureds <.
 r One of the Bristol mill directors said to reporter that although they met and discussed the situation still nothing definite regarding their proposed actiott would be made public till the end of the week. By this 1t is understood another meeting of directors will be held Friday or Saturday, and the operatives will be notified to report for work, @

APPEAL TO REPUBLICANS.
Urged to Cast Their Free Ballots Agains,
 an Administration of Infamy.

Urged to Cast Their Free Ballots Against an Administration of Infamy. Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 5.-The con- vention of the state republican league,
 which met to-day, adopted platform,
 which reaf1irms the republican national platform, endorses the republican state
 ticket promises that the league will
 labor to secure an unparalled majority for the ticket, and commends the efforts of the republican minority in congress to prevent the democratic administra- tion and its majority from destroying the fabric of protection. The platform then says:
 "Under eighteen months of democrat ic misrule from the heights of prosperi- ty and content the country has plunged
 into a financial depression so severe and far reaching in its distress that busi- ness has been paralyzed, industrial operations halted, and commerce and trade suspended, so that from almost every corner of the land, there Is de- mand for the return to power of the re- publican party as the only remedy and relief. We condemn the un-American and unrepublican foreign policy of the Cleveland administration which has sought to destroy the hope of liberty in the isles of the sea and has dis credited the uplifted power and dis played flag of the republic; the i'm becile and vascillating financial policy calculated to lower the credit of our government at home and abroad, and diminished the confidence which was
 the great glory and achievement of the republican policy"
 The platform urges the citizens of Pennsylvania ito place their condemna- tion upon the self-confessed record of infamy, perfidy and dishonor of the
 present administration, by their free and untrammalled ballots at the com ing election"
