rQ $r WELL &VONG ita,l$ MANS OP THE NOBREW*a. ii Address of Carl"Sehurs Iq pilwaukee Prsonal Liberty an Isne or the cam paigo--Poltical Notes ' Fruzih Yarious Quarters. MILWAUKEE, Wis., September 10. lion. Carl Schurz arrived in this city on yesterday afternoon, direct from Greenwich, Coni., and was given a r:pplimentary dinner by a number of his German friends at the St. Charles Hotel. The party was Inforinal and included a number of gentlemen of all parties, while hundreds of citizens called in the course of the day to pay their respects to the distinguished visi tor. In the evening he addressed an audi once of fully 10,000 people ac Schlitz Park, one of the most delightful sum mer gardens In the Vest. Mr. 1Her man SIgel, editor of the P'reie Presse, the German Republican paper which bolted Blaino the day after he was nominated, was president" of the meet ing. Mr. Schurz's appearance on the stage was the signal for applause that lasted ten or flftcon minutes. As soon as quiet was restored he briefly stated the circumstances that caused him to visit the city. Then he stated at some length his exact position in the present canvass and his objections to Mr. Blaine. lie reiterated many of the telling points which he miade in his Brooklyn speech and every point he made was responded to by the hearti est applnse. At the conclusion of his address Mr. Schurz was warmly con gratulated. His speech was frequently interrupted by applause and its effect on the audience was most magical. At a late hour the large gathering dis persed. The meeting was altogether one of the finest ever held in the city. This afternoon Mr. Schurz will leave for La Crosse, in which he will speak to-morrow evening. IIe will return to Milwaukee early on Tuesday and on the same evening will deliver an address at the West Side Turner Hall, in English, under the auspices of the English Independent Republicans. This meeting will be presided over by John P. McGregor, one of the most prominent Republicans in Wisconsin, wi recently bolted Mr. Blaine and is now N% 'rking like a beaver for Mr. Clevelahd's election. The nuler of Independents in Mil waukee alone is variously estimated at from 3,000 to 5,000. This class coin prises local Repuolican "kickers." They must be considcred entirely apart from those who have been driven in the Democratic ranks body and breeches. John P. McGregor said to da! that it was hard to give an esti ihate of the strength of tLo Indepcnd :'s, ents. There were manv who had secretly resolved to support Cleveland who would not avow their intention oi:enly. Another leading Independent, of German extraction, said that 5,000 would not be too high an estimate to .place on the 'lependont votes of Mil waukee. TI-re are very few of this number who will not vote the Repub lican State ticket, but they will scratch Blaine for Cleveland. It was announc ed at the mecting to-night that Judge Cole, of the Snpreme Court, and Judge Stewart, a prominent Republican, had just announced thbir intention of bolting and voting for Cleveland and Hendricks. The Situation in Michigan. CCcAGo, September 10.-The situa tion ini Michigan is very interesting, both from a State and a niational point of view. Thero is every probability that twelve of the thirteen electoral votes of Michigan will be lost to Mr. Blaine, and that the State election will go against the Rlepublicans. In their recent State conventions the Demo cratic and Greenback parties formed a very harmonious union, and p)laced in the field an electoral and State ticket. The union upon01 tihe electoral ticket is uniquc. It is supplosed to be after the plani suggested by General Butler; but is letter suggests no0 definite plan, and it is in truth original with Michi ganl. CruCINNATI, OnmO, September 10.. United States Senator Plumb, of K(an sas, has come to Ohio to take part in the campaign, and( was5 t.o-day registered at the Gibson House, in this city. In1 an interview he said1: "There is much depending on the result of the October election in Ohio. I fear that there is too much confidence. Old-time Re *pulicans say thmat, the State has always tbeen Recpublican in Presidential years, i'iever be0 otherwise. Content inig th ,~ives with this feeling they do not orf~ ize. Many of these Reo publicans a~ like Ind(ianls; they like to hold a coun 'l,and (10 a 'heap talkee' but forget to or nize. I am mot coni fident about this Sate, butt I am not alarmcd." "Inut the news fr4 ml Maine is cheer ing." "Yes, bunt I am af -aid that it will (10 harm by creating r ore confidence; it may encourage, bi it may enlcourage the wrong way. 's, thme Maine ma jority wvas fully r, to expectations; Reppblicans figure on about 10,000." "Hlow is thme si atlon ini youri own "Oh, we had e little prohibitionm trouble there o ,c, but it was within the Republica- party. We are al right now anm vill give Blaine 50,000 majority." "How aboi Iowa?" "She-willl ine do as well as in 1880, because of the local p)rohibition trou bles." "And WVisconsein?" "Both Wisconsin aind Michigan are doubtful States this time. 1 am afraid -of the result in cacti." "Can their loss 1)0 overcome by the gaiii of any Southern States?" "No; I have no -fath in carrying West Virginia. Seiiator Kcnnia hinks tile Democrats will carry it by 12,000; I think about 5,000-perhaps mere." "Then the RepublIcan 1hope is in, New York and Ohio (" "That:s about It." A prominent Reopublhican, speaking of Senator Plumb's cautious statements as to the outlook, remarked that in so doing the Sonator was following tihe lead of tihe Blaine mnana~ grs, whose policy is to arouse the Ilpublicans with a healthful fear and lull tihe Dem crnts ".ith conufidenice.

Judge Cleaves, whlo has beenm pitted agaInst Congressman Reed In the no table contest In this district, takes the result with the utmost coolness, and Wears ho look of defeat.

To w do you at ribute the re suit?' was asked. "They had the meAne, and we did not; they had all -the money they wanted, while we have had to fight the campaign without sufficient funds to get our absent voters home." "Arc there any other causes of your failure of an election ?" "We have badly lacked an efficient organization." "Why has not the National Demo cratic Committee more thorotighly at tended to this district?" "I don't understand it." "had not this Presidential year helped Mr. Reed out, do you not think the result would have been different?" "Why, certainly, I would have been elected by 1,000 majority, I have no doubt." "Have you made many speeches during the campaign?" "On'y about a dozen. You see, I have been nominated only three weeks, and I have been busy looking after the organization in various towns. There has been a great call for speeches, and I have given them what I could. \Vherever I have been to consult with a small number, I have found them cager and ready to get to work and do their best." "What is the cause of this unusual alacrity?" "They want a chaure. There is no doubt about that, anc so they have aided in my candidacy. But we have labored under great disadvantages. There are thousands of fishermen in the State who are away, and who, had they been in, would have voted the Democratic ticket." "Do you not consider it would have been good political policy for the Dem ocrats to have concentrated their best energies upon this district?" "I have no doubt of it." "What effect (10 you expect the elec tion in this State will have on the Na tional election? Do you think it will seriously affect the vote in other States?' "Not in the slightest." "Do you expect the Republicans will have a heavier majority here in No vember?" "I do not think it will be as large." A DEMOCRATIC RALLY. The National Capital In a Blazo of Pyro technics--The Democrats of the District of Columbia Ratify the Nomination. WASHINGTON, September 11.-The Democracy of the District of Coluni bia ratified the nomination of Cleve land and Hendricks by a grand open air demonstration to-night. The street parade of local Democratic organiza tions, and Democratic clubs from the country meeting on the plaza in front of the City Hall, speeches from men pronlillent in Democratic ranks, and the adoption of resolutions expressive of the loyalty of the Democrats of the district to the standard-bearers of the party, constituted the important fea tures of the ratification. Electric lights,. a grand display of fireworks, music, flags, and the booming of cannon, were accompaniments. The procession was headed by the Jackson Democratic Association, the oldest Democratic organization in the district, and following came four divisions comlposed1 of the District clubs and visiting organizationas from Virginia and Maryland. It is 'estimlated thait 5,000 torches wereO inl line, anid tile tranisparenicies abounded, bearing signlificant inlscrip tionls. As the lune turned into tile Avenue and Fifteenth street thousands of rockets, bombs and Roman canudles were set off and at iintervals cannon, drawnl by horses, boomed heavily. Tihe sidewalk along the line of march were packed with a moving mass of humanity and the colored PI)pulation of tihe District turned out in force to view thle procession. Pennsylvania Avenue, during tihe progress of tile procession, presented a scene of rare imagnificence. Powerful electric lights, enclosed in reflectors, at the cap)itol and treasury, and scores of smaller electric lights along the linle of march poured floods of lighlt upon01 a sea of fire of thousands of torches. Th'e meet ing prioper wvas held direct Ily inl front of the City Ilall and1 the largje laza was packed with a dense g'athecring," numbering mnany thious anids, whio were addressed from three stands simultaneously.

Floyd King for re-electin to Congress, and the other nominating Charles J. Bloat. ner. Both factions adopted resolu. tionls enldQrsing Cleveland and Hen. dricks. aW unTON,. September 9.-The .Depar ment of Agriculture reports the Onditioi of cotton on the ist of Sep. tenier lower than on August let, by reason of drought, which has been sovenest in Texas, yet felt in every State East and North to North Caro lina. The apprehension that the too -sucoulent early growth would wilth wilt under the high tempouaturo and the absenco of rain has bl' . realized tdo 'generally. Local t. on the Atlantic coast appear tkhive had suf. "Ieientt moisture, at a few points too Wuci, on the lowlands. The effect of these meteorological changes has been a wide prevalence of rust and shed ding of leaves and young bolls. In light soils fruiting will be hastened, top bolls already forming. In those of greater moisture there is a strong weed and with deferred frosts a good crop may be made. There are few losses by the caterpillar. When it has appeared it was promptly met by poisonous applications. A a rule the boll worm has been moe abundant than usual and has not had treatment sufliciently promp t. The average con dition for the whole field, which wits P7 in the preceding report, is reduced to 824, thouh ''exrs is the only State below that average. The only years of the preceding ten having l'ower averages in September were 1874, when it was three and a half points lower, 1881, when the average was only 70,.aind last year, when it was 74. The weather of the next three months may modifv for better or worse the ttctual result of the harvest. The State averages are: Virginia 89, North Carolina 90, South Carolina 87, Geor gia 86, Florida 88, Alabama 84, Missis sippi 83, Louisiana 84, Texas 72, Ar kansas 83, Tennessee 90. The product of winter wheft is abovd the average and is generally of good (uality, exccpt where injured by sproutiog in the shock. The rate of the yield is not fa from an average of thirteen bushels per acre. The results of the harvest of spring wheat are not yet complete and the product cannot be precisely indicated. It is probable, from the reported condition of the crop already harvested and the shed, that the aggregate will vary little from five hundTred millions hushels. Re ports of much higher figures are sen sational and misleading and utterly uin worthy of credenec. The general average of condition when harvested was 98, against 83 last yeir. The con dition is almost identical with that reported in September, 1878-the cen sis crop, which yielded thirteen bush els per acre. The wheat States of -highest condition are California, Wis consin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Ken tucky, Tennessee and Oregon. These, with some of minor production, show figures higher than the general aver age. Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas stand at 98, Ohio and Michigan 96, Indiana 94, Illinois 80. The E'astern and Southern States range from 81 in Mississippi to 103 in Maine. The corn crop is in better condition than in any September since 1880. The general average is 94. It was 84 last September, 83 in 1882 and 60 in 1881. It promises to produce an average yield of 26 bushels for the entire breadth, or not less than 1,800,000,000 bushels. It will make the largest ag gregate of quanlitity ever reportedl in the hiistory of the crop. The oats crop averages a yield per acre about the same as corn and makes the aggregate exceeding 500,000,000 bushels. Its condition whlenm harvested was 95, wvhich is lower than for the twvo previous years but higher than for pioer years sincee 1878. Barley averages 97, against 100 last year and 95 in 1882. It will average about 22 bushels per acre. The general average of rye is 96 and for buckwheat 93. which'indicates at medium crop of about 12i bushels per acre. The condition of potatoes averages 91, against 95 last year. It will be an abundant crop, bunt not so large as the last. T1here is some comnplaint of rot in New England and a little in New Yor'k. There is a wide range of con dition, dlown to 62 in Ohio while it is 94 ini Michigan, the samne in Ponnsyl vania and 86 in New York. There is a fine crop west of the Mississippi. The conditioni of tobacco is higher than in Septembler of any year since 1877. It averages 94, instead of 80 last September - Massachusetts 105, Connecticut 103, New York 98, Penn sylvania 99, Wisconinm 100. The cigar tob)acco t hus1 stands comparati vely high-Maryland 91, Virginia 94, North Carolina 95, Kentucky 95, Tennmessee 105, Ohio 63. Thc L4ondon agent of the Deopart met cables to-day as thme result of statistical investigationms that th vm ear wvill iiot be otne otf superabunda'ce; that Eur'opeanm wheat, though above the average ini product, will be less than the aggregate of 1882. European imaportin g countrics need( 260,000,000 buishelk above tihe pr'oduction. Euro peanl counitries exportinig can supply 80,000,000, leaving 180,000,000 bushel's to lie ob)tainied from other continents. Stocks ar'e not excessive. Tlhmere is an inlcreasedl consumption of wheat, and it is the general opinion that the low est prices have beeni reached. Pota toes and( r'yc are less abunidanmt than last y'ear. WVASHINGTON NOTES.

It Acquiesces in the "Will of the Miorlty, "Although Protestiu Agatnst the unwise and Injudicious Course Which Thby Pp sued." Naw YORN Septemuber 12.-At the Tammany Hall meeting this evenilg an address to the "Democratic part'y of the United ates" was" eepQrted. After referring to the fact that tle Tammany organization in the United States and to its past history, the ad dress states that the tariff agitation by Tammany Hall resulted in drawing attention to the necessity of such a reduction of duties as would provide means sufficient for the requirements of the Government and at the same time afford incidental protection neces sary to American labor. "We have advocated at all times a reduction -of taxation, municipal, State and Federal. Homo rule and local self-government have always been -amrdil principles of the Democracy in Tammnany Hall. We have at all times opposed centrali zation of power as dangerous to our republican institutions, and have not hesitated to condemn the unnecossary, unjust and t undemocratic interference of the Stte Legisjatprc and the Execu tive in our municipal aflhirs. We championed the cause of anti-nonopo ly in 1881 and the ensuing campaign:of 1882 that resulted in the triumphant election of the present - Governor of this State." The address then recites that the Tammany organization favored many measures before the State Legislature but which were defeated by the Repub licans uniting with recreant Detnocrats and by the vetoes of Governor Cleve land. The address says that other in stances might be mentioned to warrant the opposition shown to the nomina tion of Cleveland to the Presidency. It then canvasses the events connected with the Tilden and Iianeock cam paigns, claiming loyalty to the party on the part of Tammanv. It then refers to the last National Democratic Convention, and' says: "While we were celebrating an anniversary of our national independence our opponents took every occasion to prejudice the minds of the delegates at Chicago against us. We presented our argu ments to the individual and nesembled delegates of the Convention and were debarred the right to speak except by consent of delegates from other States, and were prohibited, undes the un democratic unit rule, from casting our ballots for the candidates of our choice. We failed not in our duties to our con stituents who sent us nor to the party whose representatives we were, and if any mistake has been made it is not of our doing and cannot be charged to us. The candidates of the Demo cratic party having been nominated in National Convention, following the uniform and unbroken record of our organization, we acquiesce in the will of the majority of the representatives of the party, although we believe that will to have been unwisely expressed. There is but one alternative left to us -to sever our connection with the Democratic party. This we cannot and will not do; it would be injustice to our coniscienice-and judgment. WVe cannuot pursue that cour'se, for we be lieve that timie will disconnect thle great Democratic party from the lead ership of the men who have used their power unwisely and detrimiental to its success. We acquiesce in the will of tile majority, although protesting against the unwise and injudicious course which they p)ursued. We say, with ,John Adams, that "there is no0 good government but what is republi can, for the republic is an empire of laws, and not of men."''rTho mistakes of men cainiot blind us to the beauties and( i mmortal principles of Democratic p)arty, and for the p)erp)etuationl of those principles our organizationi was estab lisshled. Unmder the Democratic party a citizen is protected at home and abroad, and thme speedly release of Martin Koszta ls an mnstanlce to show withl what celerity the p)rotectionl of the United States was thlrown around an American citizen unde(lr Democratic adm!inistrationi and a Secretary of State like William L.

Men make mistakes ; its representatives and~ leaders may be inconsistent, time serving anid lack strength of their coni victions; b)ut In it are liberty to be found, freedom of thought, freedom of speech and action, and protection to every citizen alike. "For the reasons herecin set forth we recommlend this~ organiization to supI port tihe nlomineces of tile Decrac'(tic p)arty for President amnd Vice-President maiide at Chicago' onl Friday, July 10th, 1884, anid subiilt for its considrationl and adoptioni the fbllowing resolution: "Rtesolved, T1hmat wve, the D)emo cratic-Rtepublican General C'ommittee of the city and coLunt.y of New York, in T1ammany Hall assembled, hereby ratify and entiorse the nominatIon's madle by thecNational Democratic Coni vention held in Chicago on July 10th, 1884-for Presidenit, Grover Cleveland, of New York ; for Vice-President Thomas A.

Bateman, a young man'ar- Nt rested for tho double crime of murder by and previous outrage committed o1 . the two little McIaughlin girls near Flat Sprin s, August 31, last night mde conf .sion to a reporter of the 8.'Jotph Gazette, who interviewed him in Savannah jail. He minutely detailed everything connected with the horrible deed, and now stands prepared , to meet his fate. The fact of his con- . fossion is unknown to the people of se:x Savannah at the present writing, but I when it becomes known Bateman will for probably be lynched. In, his confes sion Bateman says that he was home when the girls came there. He saw them go into,te woods to pick hazel nuts and follo*ed them fifteen minutes afterwards. They were near the end of a corn-field when he came up with them. While he was talking he saw Henry Knappenberger pass. lie then induced the children to go further into the corn-field, and while the eldest was yalking in front of him lIe shot her. S1e: turned around and: as' she did so he shot her again, killing her instant ly. The other girl then started to run, but he followed ani caught her. She begged so hard for him to let her go that lie came very near allowing her to do so. lie did let go of her, but PC knowing she would tell he again li caught her, threw her down and cut her throat. It was .fifteen or twenty minutes after KCnappenbcrger passed all that lhe shot thfe eldest girl. After rc killing the younger girl he went back re to his first victim and outraged her person, after which he mutilated her so as to create the impression that it was the deed ofi a crazy mai. The eldest girl said nothing after he shot her, but the other girl cried out and he licld his hand .over her imiouth to provent her being heard. After these ta horrible occurrences he 'went to the Ia creck, washed his hands, threw his di knife into the stream and then weni at home. When the father of the girls i caine to his house inquiring for him lie ki offered to go and help search for themn, se but his relatives would not allow him, I as they thought he was ill. The fiend fr declares that lie was induced to con fess owing to the circumstantial manner in which Henry Knappenberger had been accused of the crime. "A Single Finet is Worth a Ship-Loadt of Argument." Mr. W. B. Lathrop, of South Easton, - Mass., under date of Jan.7, 1884, says: "Mv father had for years an eating cancei' on his under lip, which - had been gradually growing worse until it had eaten away his under lip down , t.o the guma, and was feeding itself on ei the inside of his check, and the sur geons said a horrible (ldath was soon te to come.
