Lii Hung Chang.

New YORK, Sept. 2.-Bourke Cock
ran and Lloyd Brice called upon Ii
Hung Chang just as his interview with
the newspaper men closed. They were
followed by William Berri, who has
charge of the reception in Brooklyn
to-day, and Murat Halstead. Soon
afterward the special ambassador, under
military escort, started tor the City
Hall where Mayor Strong received him.
Ii asked many questions of the Mayor
and said: "Grant and Washington
were your greatest men," and Lin
coln," said Mayor Grant. "All the
republicans were either scholars or SOL
diers during the war were they not 2"
asked Ii. Democrats volunteered just

drove to the city hall.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPT ?, 1886
TIE REPUBLICANS and boilers seem

TIE REPUBLICANS and boilers seem
to have opened fire upon the democrats
OF the South all along the line, because
thew have agreed to submit to the aroi'-
ramept of both their State and nation
al conventions. Senator Lodge OF Mas
sacbusetts, the putative author OF the
last force bill, made speech the other
day, in which be said:
when l see the masters of great
party in great national convention
appeal TO sectional feeling, denounce
their brother Americans, and even call
from its grave the molderiRg corpse OF
buried secession, Hook upon these men
as false to the principles of patriotism
aud unfit TO be trusted. Free &C.
csssion and free riot are far worse than
free coinage or free trade. and the Chi
csgo platform declares for all four.
The Southern hslfof the dem.
ocratic party, which controls it to day,
declared war on free labor in 1851, and
in order to carry it out, they tried to
cut the Union in two. They failed, but
the experiment was expensive and
tragic"
Such talk seems TO afford the South
ern gold boilers as much pleasure as
the defeats the Confederates sustained
in the war to which Mr.. Lodge refers,
did the Southern men who called them
: Ives ''loyslists."

DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE
State democratic chairman J. Taylor
Ellyson announced his executive COM
mittee yesterday as follows:
First district, William A. Jones, Rich.
mond county; Second district, R. E.
Boyken, Isle CT Wight county; Third
district, n. R. Pollard, of Richmond
county; Fourth district, William II.
Mann, Norroway county; Fifth district,
Claude Swanson, Ptsylvania county;
Sixth district, ex-Judge Horsay,
Campbell county; Seventh district,
United States Senator Thomas Martin,
Albemarle county; Eighth district,
Joseph E. Willard, Fairfax county;
Ninth district, Rufus A. Ayers, Wise
county; Tenth district, Edward Echols,
Augusta county.
The Richmond Dispatch says: Mr..
Joseph E. Willard, of Fairfax county,
the member from the Eighth district,
is the youngest man on the committee,
but his undaunted democracy, his
splendid record in the House of Dele
gates of Virginia, and his untiring
energy in behalf OF his party and his
State more than measure up to the
standard.
The duties of the State executive
committee are largely of an advisory
nature, and the impression is that the
appointments of Mr.. Ellyson will
prove entirely satisfactory.

A DISPATCH from Indianapolis saya
the men who compose the gold boltera'
convention there, are well dressed and
prosperous looking, and that most OF
them are corporation attorneys, rail
road officials, directors OF banking and
insurance companies, and government
Office holders. The power of such men
and OF the money at their command i
great, but they are few while the voters
are many. If the latter submit to them
the sooner an autocrat shall usurp the
place of the platocratic oligarchy the
better for every body.

Poison IN MEAT.-The city of Ports

Der of which has already died. Arthur
Wilson, prominent business man, was

ter eating Hamburg steak for supper.

ed the poison, for shortly afterward
Mrs. Wilson and her two sons were
taken i'll also. Mr.. Wilson lived only
few hours, but the other victims are
still alive. How the meat came to
contain the deadly dose is a mystery.
The cook is not thought to be guilty Of
the crime, as she has but recently been
engaged by the family. The woman
says that she herself did not partake of
the dish because she did not like it. No
arrests have been made in the case.

THE EXISTING paralysis of trade, de-
pressed business and dearth of work
are attributed by the republicans and
their gold boiling allies to the dread Of
the resumption OF silver coinage,
though they make themselves ridicu-
lous By saying, at the same time, that
the silver craze is dying out and that
Mr.. Mckinley will be elected by sd
Overwhelming majority" The de-
dressed condition of all sorts of bust
ness in this country is due to no fear
OF silver money, aud, instead OF improv'
lug under continued high tariff and
gold standard, it would almost neces
sarily grow worse.
