Ourl Bcfaurz arrived In this city M yeeierday afternoon, direct Irom Ureeawich, Conn., and waa given a eompUmentary diniter by a number of )de tiieraian friends at the St. Cbarles Betel. The party was Informal and Included a nnmber of gent lumen of all parties, while hundreds of citizen* called in the course of the day to pay tbdr respects to the dittlnguiubcd visi tor. In the eveeiiv I*® addressed an audi ence of ftilly 10,000 people ac Scblitz Park, one of the roost delightfal sum mer gardens Jn the West. Mr. Her man Bigel, editor of the Frde Pre*»e, the Herman Republican pa(*er which bolted Blaine the day attei he was nominated, was president of the meet ing. Mr. Schurz’s appearance on the stage was the signal for applanso that lasted ten or fifteen minutes. As soon as qntci was restored be briefly stated the bircatustancea that caused him to visit the city. Then be stated at some length bis exact position in the present eanvass and his objections to Mr. Blaine. He reiterated rnanv of the telling points which he matte in his Brooklyn speech and every (mint he made was responded to by the lienrti- eatapplause. At the conclusion of his address Mr. Schnrz was warmly con- K la ted. HU speech was frequent Iv •opted by applanse and its effect on the audience was most msgicnl. At n late boar the largo gathering dis ported. The meeting was altogether one of the finest ever held in the city. ThU afternoon Mr. Schnrz will leave for La Crosse, in which he will speak to-morrow evening. He will return to Milwaukee early on Tuesday and on the same evening will deliver an address at the West Side Turner Hall, In Kngllsh, 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, who recently bolted Mr. Ulaine and is now working like a beaver for Mr. Cleveland’s election. The number of Independent* in Mil waukee alone is variously ealimated at from 8,000 to 6JOOO. ThU class com prises local Republican “kickers.” They must be considered entirely apart from those who have been driven in the Democratic ranks body and breeches. John P. McGregor said to day that it was hard to give an esti mate of the strength of the Independ ents. There were main who had secretly resolved to snpport Cleveland who would not avow their intention oceniy. Another leading Independent, or Gorman extraction, said that A,000 would not be too high an estimate to place on tbe Independent votes of Mil waukee. There are very few of this number who will not vote tbe Repub lican State ticket, but they will scratch Blaine fbfr Gtnvelmud. It was announc ed at the meeting to-night that Judge Cole, of tbe Snpreme Court, and Judge Stewart, a prominent Republican, had C at announced their intention of iltiug and voting for Cleveland and Hendricks. Tk* Situation la Mlehlffan. Chicago, September 10.—The situa tion In Michigan is very interesting, both from a Sate and a national point of view. There is every probability that twelve of the thirteen electoral voles of Michigan will be lost to Mr. Blaine, and that the State election will go against tbe Republicans. In their recent State conventions the Demo cratic and Greenback parties formed a very harmonious union, and placed in the field an electoral and State ticket The nnlou upon the electoral ticket is unique. It is supposed to )>e after the plan suggested by General Butler; but ois Utter suggests uo definite plan, and it la in truth original witli Michi gan. *ri»M»ate sad Ml eh lfan DoabtMl. * CiNCuntATi, Ohio, September 10.— United States Senator Plumb, of Kan sas, has come to Ohio to take part in the campaign, and was to-day registered at the Gibson House, in this cily. In an interview ho said: “There is much depending on the result of the October election in Ohio. I fear that there is too much confidence. Old-time Re- K ‘ Means say that the State has always i Republican in Presidential years, and can uever be otherwise. Content ing themselves with this feeling they (wnp^organize. Many of these Re- pwlicans are like Indians; they like to hofd d council and do a ‘heap talked’ but foraet to organize. I am not con- ftdont about r ‘ alarmed.” “But the news from Maine is cheer ing” * “Yea, but I am afraid that it will do harm by creating more confidence; it may encourage, but it may encourage the wrong way.

We are all right now and will give Blaine 60,000 majority.” “How about Iowa?” “She will not do as well as in because of the local prohibition bles.” “And Wisconsin?" “Both Wisconsin aud Michigan are doubtful States this time. I am afraid of the result In each.” “Can their loss be overcome by the gain of any Southern States?” “Nojlnave no faith in carrying West Virginia. Senator Kenna thinks the Democrats will carry it by 18,000; I think about 6,000—perhaps more.” “Then the Republican hope is in Iffew York end OWof” “That’s about it.” A prominent Republican, speaking of Senator Plumb’s cautious statements is to tbe outlook, remarked that in so doing tbe Senator was following the kmd of the Biaiue managers, whose policy is to anmse theBepoblkans with a beeithfal foer and lull tbe Dem- Cleaves was tUtliig Ms supper quietly at Falrmoot, aud was in no hurry to leavb tbe supper room. In an inter view with tbe defeeted candidate, be expressed himself freely. “To what do vou attribute tbe re sult?" was asked. “They had tbe moans, and we did not; they had all tbe monev they wanted, while we have bad to light the campaign without suffleient foods to get our absent voters home.” “Are there any other causes of your fhllnro of an election?” “We have badly lacked an efficient organization.” “Why baa not the National Demo cratic Committee more thoroughly 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 yon 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 lias been a great call for speeches, and I have given them what I could. Wherever I have been to consult with a small number, I have found them eager and ready to gel to work and do their best.” “What is the cause of * this unusual alacrity?” “They want a change. There is no doubt about that, ana so they have aided in my candidacy. But wo 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 yon not consider it would have been good political policy for the Dem ocrats to have concentrated their best energies upon this district?” “1 have no doubt of it.” “What effect do 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. Th« National Capital In a Hlaie of Pyro- Uirhnlca—Th« Democrat* of the District of Columbia Ratify the Nomination. Washington, September 11.—The Democracy of the District of Colum bia ratified the nomination of Cleve land aud 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 prominent in Democratic ranks, and the adoption of resolutions expressive of the loyalty of the Democrats of the district to the standard-bearers of tbe party, constituted the important fea tures of the ratification. Electric lights, a grand display of fireworks, music, flags, and the booming of cannon, were accoinnaniment*. The procession was hcadeu by the Jackson Democratic Association, the oldest Democratic organization in the district, and following came four divisions composed of the District clubs and visiting organizations from Virginia aud Maryland. It is estimated that 5,(XX) torches were in line, and the transparencies abounded, bearing significant inscrip tions. As the line turned into the Avenue and Fifteenth street thousands of rockets, bombs aud Roman candles were set off and ai intervals cannon, drawn by horses, boomed heavily. The sidewalk along the line of march were jiacked with a moving mass of humanity and the colored population of the District turned out in force to view th<j procession. Pennsylvania Avenue, during the progress of the procession, presented a scene ot rare magnificence. Powerful electric lights, enclosed in reflectors, at the capitol and treasury, and scores of smaller electric lights along the line of march ured floods of light upon a sea of ro of thousands of torches. The meeting proper was held direct ly in frout of the Citv Hall aud the large plaza was packed witli a dense gathering, numbering many thous ands, who were addressed from three stands simultaneously. The principal stand, erected on the portion of the City Hail and jnst behind the Lincoln statue, was magnificently decorated with national emblems, and i>ortraits of the candidates, the flags of all na tions being prominently displayed. The electric light, Chinese lanterns and gas made the scano as brilliant as day. On the principal stand were the leaders of the District Democracy and eminent Democrats from abroad. Among them were several members of Congress. A large concourse of peo ple filled all the space on tbe City liall portico and the steps in the rear of this stand. The feature of this gather ing was the large proportion of ladies present. The principal sneakers here were Senator Jones, of Florida; Hon. Bradley T. Johnson, of Maryland; Representatives Murphy, of Iowa, Ellis, of Louisiana, and Post, of Penn sylvania. Overflowing meetings were addressed by Epps Hnnton, General Rosecraus, Col. D. M. Ball, of Alex andria, and State Senator E. E. Mere dith, of Virginia. DICKENS VINDICATED. An Admirer of thn NorfLUt Prove* that Bill Sjke*’* Hanging wn* Practical. Philadelphia, September 11.—At the inquest to-day on the hotly of J. H. Barry, who was thought to have com- mitted suicide by hanging, it was shown that his death was the result of a curious accident. He had been en- ed iu an argutdent to prove that ill Sykes could been hanged in the manner described by Dickens, and to settle all doubt said he would demon strate how Sykes was hung. Yester day morning he was found hanging to the door in his room. Tbe rope was not tied around his nock, neither did it look as if it bad been intentionally fastened to the knob of tbe door. The witnesses say the ease is one of acci dental hanging, and tbe jury after hearing their testimony gave a verdict to that effect.

Washington, September 9.—The Department of Agricnltore reporta the condition of cotton on the fit of Sep tember lower than on August 1st, by reason of drought, which has been severest in Texas, yet felt in every State East and North to North Caro lina. The apprehension that tbe too succulent early growth would wilth wilt under the high temperature and the absence of rain has been realized too generally. Local areas on tbe Atlantic coast appear to have had suf ficient moisture, at a few points too much, on the lowlands. The effect of these meteorological changes has been a wide prevalence of rust and shed ding of leaves ami young bolls. In light soils fruiting will be hastened, top bolls already forming. In those of greater moisture there is a strop wecii and witli deferred frosts a goo crop may be made. There arc few losses by the caterpillar. When it has appeared it was promptly met by poisonous applications. As a rule the boil worm lias been more abundant than usual and lias not had treatment -sufficiently prompt. The average con dition for the whole field, which was 87 in the preceding report, is reduced to 824, thoufch Texrs is the only State below that average. The only years of the preceding ten having lower averages in September were 1874, when it was three and a liall' points lower, 1881, when the average was only 70, and last year, when it was 74. The weather of the next three months may modify for better or worse tbe actual result of the harvest. The State averages arc: Virginia 89, North Carolina 90, South Carolina 87, Geor gia 86, Florida 88, Alabama 84. Missis sippi 89, I-awisiana 84, Texas 72, Ar kansas 83, Tennessee 90. The product of winter wheat is above I lie average and is generally of good quality, except where injured by sprouting in the shock. The rate of the yield is not far from an average of thiriccn bushels per acre. The results of the harvest of spring wheat are not vet complete and the product cannot bo precisely indicated. It is probable, from tbe reported condition of the crop already harvested and the shed, that the aggregate will vary little from five hundred millions bushels. Re ports of much higher figures are sen sational and misleading mid utterly unworthy of credence. The general average of condition when harvested was 98, against 83 last year. The con dition is almost identical with that reported in September, 1878—the cen sus crop, which yielded thirteen bush els per acre. The wheat States of 4iighcst condition arc 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 Eastern 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 quantity ever reported in the history of the crop. The oats crop averages a yield per acre about the same as corn aud makes the aggregate exceeding 600,000,000 bushels. Its condition when harvested was 96, which is lower than for the two previous years hut higher than for prior years since 1878. Barley averages 97, against 100 last year and 96 in 1882. It will average about 22 bushels per acre. The general average of rye is 96 and for buckwheat 93. which indicates a medium crop of about 12 bushels per acre. The condition of potatoes averages 91, against 96 last year. It will be an abundant crop, but not so largo as the last. There is sonic complaint of rot in New England and a little iu New York. There is a wide range of cons dition, down to 62 in Ohio while it is 94 in Michigan, tbe same in Pennsyl vania and 86 in New York. There is a fine crop west of tbe Mississippi. The condition of tobacco is higher than in September of any year since 1877. It averages 94, instead of 80 last September— Massachusetts 105, Connecticut 103, New York 98, Penn sylvania 99, Wisconsin 100. Tbe cigar tobacco thus stands comparatively higU—Maryland 91, Virginia 94, North Carolina 95, Kentucky 95, Tennessee 106, Ohio 63. The London agent of the Depart ment cables to-day as the result of statistical investigations that the year will not be one of superabundance; that European wheat, though above the average in product, will be less than the aggregate ot 1882. European importing countries need 200,000,000 bushels above the production. Euro pean countries ^exporting can supply 80,000,000, leaving 180,000,000 bushels to be obtained from other continents. Stqgks arc not excessive. There is an inen^hed consumption of wheat, and it is the general opinion that the low est prices iiave been reached. Pota toes and rye are less abundant than last year. WASHINGTON NOTES. A Rumor to Mr. Folgor’s Suomuor -Suit Again*! Howgat*’* Hondamea. Washington, September 11.—It was rumored here to-day that the President bad decided to appoint George II. Miarpc Secretary of the Treasury. General Sharpe was recently appoint ed a member of the commission to visit South America. Solicitor Neal, of the treasury de partment, has determined to institute suit to recover $1,200 from the bonds men of the fugitive Captain Howgato. The bondsmen are Rogers, of New York, and Moses, of this city, and tbe bond was given by Howgate while disbursing agent of the civil service bureau. No suit has been instituted heretofore to recover from Howgate’s bondsmen. A British NstsI Offloar SuMAss.

M New York, September 12.—At the Tammany Hail meeting this evening an address to the “Democratic party of the United Slates” was reported. After referring to the fact that tbe 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 redaction of duties as would provide moans suffleient 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. Home rule and local self-government have always been cardinal principles of the Democracy in Tammany Hall. We have at all times opposed centrali zation of power as dangerous to our republican institutions, and iiave not hesitated to condemn the unnecessary, unjust and undemocratic interference of the State Legislature and the Execu tive in Our municipal affairs. We championed the cause of anti-monopo 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 whieii were defeated by the Repub licans uniting with recreant Democrats and by the vetoes of Governor Cleve land. The address says that other in stances might l*e mentioned to warrant the opposition sho-vn to the nomina tion of Cleveland to the Presidency. It then canvasses the events connected with the Tildon and Hancock cam paigns, claiming loyalty to the party on the part of Tammany. It then refers to the last National Democratic Convention, and says: “While wc were celebrating an anniversary of our natiomd 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 assembled delegates of the Convention and were debarred the right to speak except by consent of delegates from other States, and were prohibited, nudes the un democratic unit rule, from casting onr ballots for tite 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 lias been made it is not of our doing and cannot be charged to ns. 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 Iiave 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 conscience and judgment. Wc cannot pursue that course, for wo be lieve that time will disconnect tbe grest Democratic party from the lead ership of the men who have used their power unwisely and detrimental to its success. We acquiesce in tbe will of the majority, although protesting against tbe unwise and injudicious course which they pursued. We say, with John Adams, that “there is no good government but what is republi can, for the republic is an empire of laws, and not of men.” The mistakes of men cannot blind us to the beauties and immortal principles of Democratic party, and for the perpetuation of those f irinciples our organization was estab- ished. Under the Democratic party a citizen is protected at home and abroad, ana the speedy release of Martin Koszta is an instance to show with what ceterity the protection of the United States was thrown around an American citizen under Democratic administration and a Secretary of State like William L. Marcy, as com pared with (lie doubting and halting poliev of the Republican Secretary of State, James G. Blaine, during the I’resideucy of Garfield, iu allowing McSwecuj’ and other adopted citizens of the United States, against whom no charges were alleged or proven, to linger for mouths in a British dungeon. We believe in the Democratic party and its immortal principles. Men make mistakes; its representatives and leaders may be inconsistent, time serving and lack strength of their con victions; but in it arc liberty to be found, freedom of thought, freedom of speech and action, and protection to every citizen alike. “For tbe reasons herein set forth wc recommend this organization to sup port tbe nominees of the Democratic party for President and Vice-President made at Chicago on Friday, July 10th, 1884, and submit for its consideration and adoption the following resolution: “ifesefoerf. That we, tbe Demo cratic-Republican General Committee of the city and county of New York, in Tammany Hall assembled, hereby ratify and endorse the nominations made by the National Democratic Con vention held in Chicago on July 10th, 1884—for President, Grover Cleveland, of New York; for Vice-President, Thomas A. lIendrickg,of Indiana—and hereby pledge ourselves to an earnest and cordial snpport of the candidates so uonminaled.” Ex-State Seuator Grady opposed the adoption of the address and tbe resolu tion, denounced Governor Cleveland and the managers who secured his nomination, and declared himself a 'follower of Ben.amiu F. Butler. To anybody who has disease of throat or re will send proof that I’iso’s Cure com bings, we will send proof that I’iso’s for Consumption has cured the same plaints in outer cases.

Cathartic 1 for the n* far children and in . or a Bids* i St. Joseph, Mo., September 0.— Oliver H. Bateman, a young man ar rested for the double crime of murder and previous outrage committed on (be two little McLaughlin girls near Flat Springs, August 31, last night made a confession to a reporter of the 8t. Joseph 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 fession is unknown to the people of Savannah at the present writing, but when it becomes known Bateman will probably bo lynched. In his confes sion Bateman says that he was home when the girls came there. He saw them go into the woods to pick hazel nuts and followed them fifteen minutes afterwards. They were near the end of a corn-field when lie came up witli them. While he was talking he saw Henry Knappcnberger pass. He then induced the children to go further into the corn-field, and while the eldest was walking in front of him he shot her. She turned around and as she did so lie shot her again, killing her instant ly. The other girl then started to run, but he followed and caught her. She begged so hard for him to let her go that he came very near allowing her to do so. He did let go of her, but knowing she would tell he again caught her, threw her down and cut her throat. It was fifteen or twenty minutes after Knappcnberger passed that lie shot the eldest girl. After killing the younger girl he went back to his first victim and outraged tier person, after which bo mutilated her so as to create the impression that it was the deed of a crazy man. The eldest girl said nothing after he shot her, but the other girl cried out and lie hold his hand over her mouth to prevent her being heard. After these horrible occurrences tie went to the creek, washed his hands, threw his knife into the stream and then went home. When the father of the girls came to ids house inquiring for him he offered to go and help search for them, but ids relatives would not allow him. as they thought lie was ill. The fiend declares that lie was induced to con fess owing to tbe circumstantial manner in which Henry Knappenberger had been accused of the crime. “A Mingle Fact In Worth a Mhip-Load of Argument." Mr. W. B. Lathrop, of South Easton, Mass., under date of Jan. 7, 18m4, says: “My father hod for years an eating cancer on ids under lip, which had been gradually growing worse until it had eaten away ids under lip down to the gums, and was feeding itself on the inside of his cheek, ami the sur geons said a horrible death was soon to come. We gave him nine bottles of Swift’s Specific and be has been en tirely cured. It has created great ex citement in this section.” Tw iNted Hoiicn. Mr. J. it. Stewart, of Macon, Ga., a well known am) trustworthy gentle man, makes the following statement: “My son, who was between three and fonr years old, was ail drawn up with rheumatism. His bones were twisted, and he was all doubled out of shape. He suflered intense pain, had lost Ids appetite, was cross and fretful. He was reduced to a mere skeleton, and had to be carried about on a pillow. As these cases of rheumatism, where the hones were twisted and the joints were all crooked, had for years baffled the skill of the most eminent physi cians, I determined to use Swill’s Specific, as I tiad seen testimonials from men whom 1 knew to be trust worthy, of similar cases it had cured. I used two large size bottles of S. S. S. according to directions, witli the most satisfactory results. My son com menced improving with the first dose of the medicine. His sufferings di minished daily and his appetite in creased; he became cheerful and in good spirits. Gradually be regained use of bis limbs, tbe twisted bones and joints straightened out and iu less than two mouths be was entirely cured, and conid walk and get about as well as any child of his age.
