SOME PLAIN FACTS. THE PEECH OF GOVERNOR HILL IN MCKINLEY'S DISTRICT. A Pitiless Exposure of the Record of the Majority in Congresu-The Monstrous Provisions of the McKinley Tariff Tsed Against its Author. CAXTON, Omo, October 21.-Gover nor David B. Hill arrived here at 5.3 to-day. He was met at the station, a few miles below the city, by a reception i ittee. A large throng greeted his appearance as be alighted from the train. He went immediately to Dis trict Attorney Welly's house, whose guest he will be until to-morrow. wher he leaves to speak at Wooster, in thi Congressional district. A torchlight parade of Democratic clubs took place to-night, about 1,50( being in line. An old skating rink accommodating 2,000 people, in whici a mass meeting was held to-night anc which the Governor addressed, wa Olled to overflowing. When Governor Hill was introduce - by Chairman Welly he was vigorousli applauded as he stepped to the front o: the stage. He said: An important political campaign il that upon which our country has en tered. None more important has beei held within a generation: This con test is not merely between men or par ties, and not only between govern mental pohcies. The question present ed to our voters is not whether thi next House of Representatives will bo Republican or Democratic, but whethe -the nature of our Federal Governmen1 As to be radically modified and the in tegrity of our institutions successfull: threatened.

In ordec to 'acilitate the process -of counting .Democats out and Republicans in, n< rules were adopted for the space o: three months, and then only when the loud protest of the country made ii -Impolitic to outrage public sentimeni 'longer. The House proceedings were conducted on what the Speaker called "general parlimentary law," but whal in fact was his own arbitary will. The most sacred parliamentary rights guar anteed to the minority during a centu ry of government were ignored. Witti the brute force of the majority and ~withottany show of reason nine Demo cratic Congrssen, bearing official credenatals fom their States that they were legally and properly elected, were turned out to make room for Republi. cans.. Four other Democratic members are awaiting decapitation at the hands oftbese political assassins at the next aggion of Congress. ksit any wonder that having accom hshed this Czar-like purpose, Speaker Redexclaimed: "Thank God, the House of Representatives is no longei a deliberative body ?" After discussing the tariff, so far as it relages to the mnterests of farmers, the Governor continued as follows: But not only has the Republican Congress stooped to the sharper's tricks to hoodwink the American farmer im the matter of tariffs on his products, but it has made his living even more expensive than it has hitherto been. It has heavily taxed nearly every article of wear, many of his agricultural im plemnents, his hulling materials and his household furniture. Protection of the Mcnley sort zoeans the taxation on thegreat body of the consumers to en rich a few manufacturers. Its burdens will fall particularly upon the poor. The people are to- be taxed' 560,000,000 for three years in order that a few manufacturers may experiment in this country with the tin-plate industry. If you think this is a partisan statement read what a member of Harrison's Cabi net says albout it in a recent advertise ment: Tinware is advancing in cost, and ery soon manufacturers will have their way, and you and I will have t~o pay very much more. In view of this state of things, we made some time since a large purchase of kitchen tin ware at. what was a low price then and would be far lower now in the face of two advances in makers' price list. Signed: "John Wanamaker." 'All over the country the effect of seh legislation has already been to increase the prices of dry goods and other hd'usel->ld necessities. The Mc Kiniey bill has defined sharply the issue upon which the two parties are divided. The economic dotrine. which the party in power now supports, is one which it would have repudiated ten years ago, and which some of its great men-like Blaine-are evidently desiring to repudiate now. The time has come when the demands of the manufacturers and producers are for wider markets. Our foreign trade last year was valued at fifteen hundred mi-.. lion d-dllars. Can we afford to jeopar dize that immense sourse of national wealth by erecting legislative barriers to commerce ? I want to see the Ameri can people busy supplying the markets of the world withi food and clothing; American ships carrying our produce over every sea; the wealth of Europe and Asia and Canada and South Ameri can pouring into this country to in crese the wages of every laborer and to enrich every citizen. We have the cmmnani.gnnoition in the contest for international trade. Shall we strive for an unhealthy and an unprolitable expansion of home markets, or shall we seek an outlet for our surplus pro ducts in foreign matkets? The Democratic party recommends the free admission of raw materials used in manufaeture. It will not im pose higher duties than are necessary to meet foreign competition on articles which we produce. It will encourage that international trade which will keep our farmers and mills busy to sr.pply foreign wants, thereby iving steady employment to to labor, increas ing wages because of the increased de mand for labor, bringing hundreds of millions of wealth into the country and promoting that general happiness and prosperity to which the nature of our population and our resources entitle us. But what if Europe should retaliate by checking her imlorts of breadstuffs ind of cotton and oil and provisions from the United States? What would become of us? We sent abroad last year $742,000,000 worth of goods and three-fourths of them were agricul tural products. Suppose, as the result of this Republican policy of prohibi tion, E urope should be forced to draw largely on Canad i and Russia and India and Asia for their products, what would become of the American far mers? What could recompense the country for loss of this vast market? What could alleviate the distress among all classes of our people ? A distinguished statesman has truly said that our exports preserve us from bankruptcy. I tell you, fellow-citizens, we are playing with fire when we re sort to such mischievous legislation. Talk about reciprocity ! This is retali ation, embargo, prohibition. Well might Blaine complain that the Mc Kinley bill will not open a new market for a single bushel of wheat or barrel of pork. We ought to feel very greatful if it does not deprive us of what mar kets we have. Then, in conclusion, referring to the contest in this (the 16th) district, urg ing every Democrat to vote for John G. Warwick, the Democratic candidate he said: For McKinley personally I have the highest respect. He is a gentlemAn of integrity, capacity and many other ex cellent qualities as a citizen and neigh bor. I have no doubt yon all -think well of him. He will not deny that he is a most bitter partisan, and was never known to support a Democrat for pub lic position. His friends are now ask ing complimentary votes in his behalf. - I want you to refuse them. because he E represents principles in which you do not believe. He has no just claims upon your sufrages as Democrats. There has never been a partisan outrage attempted against your party which McKinley has not supported. He voted to deprive nine honestly elected Demo cratic Representatives of their seats ih Congress. He sustained every arbitra ry ruling of the despotic Speaker. He voted for the infamous force bill, by which he seeks to deprive your party of every fair opportunity to regain con trol of this Government. He has been instrumental in foisting upon the country an unjust tariff measure, which can properly Le designated as the sum of all villanies. He gives you no assurance that he will pursue any different course from, that which he has pursued in the past. He,is not en titled to the vote of a single true and upright Democrat who resides in this distiict. His friends complain that his district has been "gerrymandered." But McKinley's voice is silent when his party friends in other States have "gerrymandered" other districts against the Democratic party. Fellotw-Democrats, the eyes of the whole country are upon this district, watching the great contest in which you are engaged with breathless inter est. Republican corruption money. obtained from those who have received Government favor, will be poured into this district to debauch its electors The integrity of the citizens of the dis trict are at stake. McKinley cannot shut his eyes to the fact that the funds for this campaign are being raised in every factory whose interests his bill has favored at the expense of the con sumers of the country. I ask you to measure out to him the same consider ation which he extended to those Dem ocratic Representatives who were oust ed from theil-seats by his-vote. The applause during the Governor's remarks was long and hearty. Schemes of the Enemy. HaMrroN, S. C. Oct. 21.-Colonel M. B. McSweeney, W. J. Causey, J. 0. H. Sanders and Rev. W. H. Dowling were arrested yesterday by United States Constable 'Iilliams of Allendale, on a warrant issued by Commissioner Mor gan upon the affidavit of one Riley, chairman of the Radical party for this County, charjig them with refusing to discharge their duty as officers under the State laws.' The whole affair is trumped up in the interest of one S. E. Smith, candidate for a seat in Congress. The gntlemen above named were carried to Yamassee this morning to have a hear ing before Commissioner Eflott. It seems that Riley brought one hun dred and ftyor two hundred affidavits in a 'rpsckto Colonel McSweeney, and deanded registration certificates in exchange. The affidavits were sworn to before a Charleston darkey, knownto no one in this County, and as they were not presented by the parties who made them Colonel McSweeney declined to is sue certificates.. The other gentlemen are charged with refusing to administer oaths to negroes desiring to make affida vits that they had lost their certificates. As registration days fell on salesdays it would have been very inconvenient for these officers to neglect the duties of their offices, and they consequently de clined to do so.

NAsHVILLE, TENN., October 21.-A special from Chattenooga, Tenn, says that two members of the British Iron and Steel Institute had an experience here they will never forget. They were walking over a trestle, on the summit of Lookout Mountain, and were caught by an approaching train. On one side was a rock wall 100 feet high, on the other a precipice of 100 feet, and the ties were too short to stand on without be ing struck by the cars. In their fearful dilemma they lay down as far as they could get, but by the merest chance the engine was stopped just before it reach ed tem.. Er-President Cle'veiand. WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Rumor was current here this morning that es-Presi dent Cleveland had died suddenly some said in New York, others in Washington. Upon investigation it appeared that there was no basis for the story, and that the ex-President had arrived in Washington and was quar tered at the Arlington. and was ]ookmg as well as usual. When the story was called to his attention, lie said: "You may tell my friends that I have never fet better in my life than I do at this time."

Ga., Oct. 22.-A romantic marriage took place during the evening performance of agtraveling show, at this place. Mr. John Montgomery and Miss Lena Hall, of this county, were united in marriage before a large audience, Rev. A. B. Thrasher officiating. The show manager advertised that he would nay $100 in gold to the couple that would marry during one of the performances. This novel feature to the programme drew a large crowd. After the cere mony was performed the manager made good his promise by promptly handing over to the couple five $20 gold pieces, and escorted them to a carriage amid LOVE CAUSED IS FALL THE PATHETIC STORY OF A JOLIET PRISON "TRUSTY." Though He Would Have Given His Right Arm for Liberty, He Resists All Temp tation, Util a Woman Smiled on Him and He Falls. CricAGo. Oct. 23.-Everybody r.ho has visited that living tomb, the Joliet Penitentiary, cannot but feel sorry tc learn that Robert Gick, the "trusty" o1 Warden Beregren, has fallen from grace. The solitary figure in convict garb standing on the narrow platfornw at the penitentiary depot was the last recollection that visitors carried away of the horrors of that dismal place. A link between the wretchedness withir the walls and the glad freedom out doors, the hearty good-by from the trainmen to the convict as the trait moved off lingered in the memory oJ those who heard it like a deathbed part. ing between friends. Even the train men themselves, who have long growr accustomed to see the half-free convict swinging his lamp at the stopping place at all hours of the night, have never been able to overcome the feel. ing of sadness and sympathy as they have watched him trudge back to his wretched prison home, faithful as a dog returning to its collar and chain. They all knew his story. Years ago when first the new "trusty" appeared at the depot, a single glance into his clear blue eyes was sufficient to make the trainmen his friends. That Ward den McClaughrey had made a good se lection in the new "trusty" was admit ted even before they heard his story That he was a life convict, and that his crime was willful murder, made no dif ferenQe. Any one could see that he was hDnest as day-light. and the sym. pathies of his new associates went oul to him even before they had learned the details of his one offense against his country's laws. Visitors to the prison who have left the building with feellings strangely alternating between repugnance and pity fer the miserable occupants of the white-washed cells have seldom failed to question the con vict guide who escorted them to the train how it happened that he was it such a place. And, Indeed, it did ap pear more than strange that a man oj his unquestioned honesty should be among the condemned. Without at tempting either to minimize his offense or to appeal for sympathy, Gick would answer that he had killed a man and had been sentenced for life. Sever years ago the crime had been com mit ted, and seven years ago he had wor his first suit of stripes. Seven years hence he would in all probability be wearing still another suit of stripes and so on from year to year until "maybe when I'm an old man I'll ge out of here." To hear a young man full of vigor thus talking hopefully of the time when he should be an old man and free once again to earn his daily bread was painfully sad. Curiosity and sympa thy demanded a fuller explanation and the convict would not hesitate t< give it. It was a very ordinary quar rel that had resulted in the loss of life to Gick's victim and the loss of liberti to Gick himself. Gick was a hostler in the employ of a horse trader in South ern Illinois. Between his employe1 'and a neighboring dealer a bitter feud had long existed, and whenever neces sity arose for business negotiations between the two Gick always acted as representative of his employer. Or one of these occasions high words aros between Gick and-the rival horse deal er. A fight seemed imminent. Ac cording to Gick's story his opponeni was on the point of drawing a knifE when a friend thrust a revolver intc Gick's hand. A second later the horsE dealer was dead, shot through the heart by a bullet from Gick's gun. Ther followed" a long imprisonment and trial. Popular opinion ran high thai the deed had been instigated by Gick's employer. Every inducement was of fered to Gick to confess that his em ployer had actuated the crime. But tc every appeal tick replied that the kill. ing had been done in self-defense, andi that if he were placed in the same po sition again-an angry opponent about to draw a knife, and a revolver thrust into-his own hand at the instant wher his lite seemed in most imminent peri) -he would act just as he had done. Sentenced to the penitentiary fox life, Gick accepted his fate as stoically as he had undergone the ordeal of trial and jail imprisonment. His new life began in the harness shop, where his conduct was so exemplary that War den McClaughrey singled him out as his "trusty" or confidential servant. In this capacity almost unlimited confi dence was reposed in the convict. The journey to and from the station, which is within a stone's throw of the prison gates, was the least of the chances thrown' in Gick's way to escape had he so desired. As confidential servant to the warden Gick was often sent, dress. ed in civilian's clothes, intb the city of Joliet. The fast horses in the warden's stable were at the convict's disposal whenever, as often happened, his duties took him to any considerable distance from the prison. Thus it happened that on the streets offJoliet the convict became one of the lest known figures. People would stop to exchange good. day with the honest-looking fellow. Acquaintances began .to multiply, and within a radius of a dozen miles there were few who had not a good word to say on behalf of Robert Gick, the war den's "trusty." "VWouldn't you like to get out of prison ?" was a question put to Gick a dozen times a day, to which his invari able reply was, "I would give my right arm for libez ty, but not my honor. In the eye's of the law I am a murderer, butl1 can stand that rather than feel that I am not honest. I never deceived a man who trusted me, and I don't pro pose to begin now.". But alas for the poor fellow's sense of honor. In a moment of madness, in fatuated by a woman's glances and morally blinded by the fumes of liquor, he decided to throw away his moral obligation and to elope with a woman of ,Joliet. Still the old feeling ot friend liness, born of honesty and trust, saved Gick at least from the actual breach of trust which he had contemplated. Among his friends in the prison were many who, though wearing convicts' garb, were yet, in Gick's opinion, trust worthy. To leave them without a word was something he had not contem plated, and in the moment when his plans for freedom seemed on the verge of completion, he turned to say good-by to those whom he had trusted. Then came the catastrophe. Milton's "Paradise Lost" contains no sadder picture than that presented by the unfortunate young fellow, torn from the semi-freedom whicb a convict alone could appreciate; torn from the society of sympathizing friends in the city; torn from the company of the woman for whom he was prepared to sacrifice even honor, and banished from the connidence of the warden, who from a friend now becomes a harsh taskmas ter. Chained to the door of the solitary dungeon in the prison, Guick bitterly amented his folly throughout Friday night, and on Saturday morning he found himself condemn~d over again to the routine of prison life, lockstep cell, workshop and prison fare. His hopes of pardon blasted, well may Gick repent in bitterness his momentary forgetfuliness of duty, while visitors and trainmen who miss the pleasant face and cheery greeting of their old acquaintance will sigh a word of regret for the poor fellow.

Of course the peo ple who eat Mr. Armou's beef will foot tha billt ARE THESE THINGS TRUE? The "Nattional Democrat's' Charges Against the Census Office. WASHINoTON. Oct. 18.-The Na tional Democrat in its issue to-day, un der the head of "Scandals in the Census Bureau," says: "Why did Porter take the trip to En gland at the time he did? Was it be cause of overwork? His boon compan ions looked upon him as a very healthy and vigorous mau two days before he left, and all who have knowledge of his method in the conduct of his office are surprised to learn that he overtaxed his brain or permitted himself to be wor ried in the least, so far as the official cares of his office were concerned. One thing is sure: Porter's health at the time he left was the very best. "Did he take this trip for private spec ulation? While the reason of his hur ried departure is known, It is only nec essary to state at present that he had not shaken the dust of Washington from off his feet before Secretary Noble be gan a hurried but earnest investigatior of the Census office. The full resuli of this investigauion has not as vet beer madeknown but the Secretary has al ready satisfied himself that hundreds o: positions in the Census office under Superintendent Porter have been farmet out, one woman securing over twenty places which she has farmed out to wo men who pay her a large percentage of their salaries: that a wholesale liquor dealer was given a $2,400 place because he furmished bondsmen for the Disbur sing Clerk, (himself being one,) and presenting mmny cases of goods to Sup erintendent Porter; that hundreds of ele ctrical machines were contracted for by Porter at $6 per day for the use of eaci machine, and that this contract was with a relative of Porter's. "Numbers of these machines were found to be useless, and are stored away in the ninth story of the Ninth street building. Not one of the machines ful filled the conditions of the contract, They were to tabulats the enumerations, giving sex. color, nativity, &c. With the exception of adding, they were total failures, and the entire work must be done over. "The Secretary had discovered that because of a very favorable case to the owner of a certain Duilding, the owner's carriage calls morning and evening foi Chief Clerk Childs. The wife of the driver of said carriaze is on the pay rol at $50 per month, in charges of the chairworan; but, as she is unable te read or write. a poor white woman keeps the record for her. The white woman gets but $20 per month. "The Secretary has learned that so many empty bottles that had containec liquor were being thrown out of th< back windows of the Nlnth street build mg into the narrow alley that it was positively dangerous to the employees below. and that they had filled a protest since which time the empty bottles have been packed in boxes, covered with pa per and carried out in the night. "He has learned of rich suppers and grand blow outs at Cabin John's an< Glen Echo, where employees, male an< female, were driven directly from the Census Office at all hours of the da' and night. One noted supper, for a favored few, recently cost the favored contractor of the electrical machines a very large sum of money. "The Secretary has learned many other things that he may not deemi policy to tell, but there will be an in vestigation when Congress meets in Die cember, and then 'the people will learn of the disgraceful methods that prevai in the Census Office." AMysterious Murder. WALTERBORO, S. C., October 21.-A ghastly sight! That is what met the gaze of anxious visitors to Morrell' boarding house on Water street, in Wal terboro. They were drawn there by th4 news of a murder committed a few min utes before 8 o'clock Tuesday night Mantha Crosby was the victim. Wh< the perpetrator of the crime was is a mystery, and will doubtless remain so, No one saw the hand that held the knife with which the woman's throa1 was cut from ear to ear. All is conjec ture. For the purpose of obtaining some information, concerning the mur den, a Press reporter called at Mr. Mon rell's and was told the story which is ai follows: Mr. and Mrs. Morrell were sitting it the piazza of their boarding house, when a few minutes before 8 o'clock, the mur dered woman rushed to the door holding her hand to her thsoat, from which the blood was flowing piofusely. In a mo ment they realized that the woman's throat was cut, and she was asked ii she did it. She shook her head negative ly. She was then asked who did it. She tried to say something, but was unable to utter a word. She lived probably ten minutes after the fatal gah had been made. She was in the dining room or kitchen washing dishes when the attack was made, and it is thought that the murderer came up from the rear of the house. Mantha Crosby was a white woman, though a prostitute of lo'w character.________ Murdered For Five Cents. PICKENS, S. C., October 20.-A bru tal murder was committed three miles northwest of Pickens Court House yes terday (Sunday) afternoon. IBill Miles and Jake Griffin, both colored, were gambling, playing "crabs." They got into a dispute about five cents, Miles shooting Griffin three times. The second bullet struck his forehead and passed entirely through his head, killing him instantly. He fell in the house and Miles are around to the window and shot him again. Miles escaped: Two negro men watched for him, and when he returned to his home, under cover of darkness, to bid his wife a last farewell, these men captured him, and he is nOW in Pickens jail awaiting the decision of the coroner's inquest which is being held to-day.-News and Courier.
