Hill. We are glad Mr. Evarts inado itbut in justice to his real sentiments we should say that his disloyalty was forced on him by Lis position as a lawyer "holding a briof for tho Republican party." His real sentiments are probably quite the other way. A Iteview of the Campaign. A few meetings in various parts of the city this evening will represent the final activities and discussions of the campaign, which practically ended tw days ago, and which will come to a formal termination to night.

The active representatives of thesoveral forces will still have plenty of work before them, mainly of an executive nature, such as tho proper distribution of tickets, arrangements for manning the polls, the appointment of watchers and so forth. Though not the most showy part of the struggle this is by far tho most exacting and tedious. That it will be I bo elected the humblest and poorest man among you can approach mo with tho coufldoneo and freedom which become an American citizen. Applause. I thank you and givo way to others that I may bo ablo to do my duty In othor wards this evening.

Applnuso. Mossrs. Georgo Wren and Jacob Miller successively dilatod on tho morits of tho candidates. Doputy Coroner Josoph Benjamin said that ho saw in tho largcnoss of tho mooting ovidouco that tho Republican parly was thoroughly awake to tho issues of tho campaign and it argued woll for tho success of tho city tickot General Catlin stood on tho same platform as that of tho candidato put forward by tho Citizens' League, but the latter, as hod boon ehown by lato developments, was not tho man to carry out tho principles ot that platform. Ho (Woodward) showed himself a servile tool whilo Commissioner of Public Works and, during his term, (here had been more corruption in tho dopartmont than thero had over been under any previous administration of tho dopartmont, and yot tho Citizens' I.engue camo forward now and set thomsolvcs up as saints in recommending General Woodward.

Their hypocrisy was exposed when thoir delegation came to the hopubllcaii City Convention and asked them to nominate him. stating as his claim to the nomination that they had twic elected Mayor Low with tho aid of tho independent Democrats and now that It was no moro than right and proper that ltcpub Kcaus should help thorn to elect an Independent Democratic candidate, and that a pledge to that effect had been made ill the Citizens' l.eaguo tho last time Low was nominated. Ho Benjamin) would like to know whether tho Republican party was to bo controlled by a sot of men masquerading as saints and endeavoring to dicker it away Tho proceedings of these men were machine politic in its truest form. Speaking of Mr. Worth ho said that having been nine times elected to tho Assembly he iu)n Hiood boforo tho people as a candidato for the upper houso.

Usually, whon a man bocamo a candidato for olllco, bis record was unearthed, and the Hinullest Haw was m. iguitlod and distorted into political capital for his opponent. Mr. Worth's record, however, would stand all tho scrutiny brought to bear upon it: no one could say aught against that record. To him it was due that tho offort to snddlo tho Boulevard Assessment bill on the Eastern District was defeated, though afterward, when Mr.

Worth was not a member, It was made a law, and the Eastern District was taxed for what she derived no benefit from. Speaking of Mr. Edward Stollgos, candidate, for Assembly iu the Seventh District, Mr. Benjamin commended him highly for character ami abilitv. The othor candidates also camo in for his commendation.

Supervisor William A. Kriu, without attempting to respond to the adverse criticisms which havo boon mado regarding tho Farm sit purchase and the increased salaries, stated thai ho hadtriod to serve tho peoplo and that he had noih iug to rogret, as in all his official acts ho had bcrni governed by consciontious motives soh ly, Mr. Samuel T. Maddox said that ho was personally acquainted with tho goutlemon comprised in tho Stato ticket and could vouch for them. He urgod all present to voto for Hon.

Jacob Worth. Mr. Joseph V. Hacker looked In aud made a briof address much of tho Hftine tenor and drift as those who preceded him. Tho moutiug adjourned about 10 o'clock.

OBITPARY. Joun F. Horan. A well known man around newspaper offices has passed away. For about twonty years John P.

Horan has boon advertising agont, and in those years he won tho coufldoneo of ovory papor with which he had connection. Ho was straightforward and honest In his businoas relations, and he was kindly and gonerous In all paths of life. John F. Horan was born In Now York somo fifty yoars ago. Whon bo reached manhood ho bocamo a mombor of Protection Engine Company No.

5, which laid In Ann stroot, near tho old church. Ho remained a member until the advonl of tho preseut Fire Dopartmont. Ho thou Joined tho now department, until forced to resign in cousoquouco of rheumatism, with which ho was soveroly afflicted for tho lost twenty years. Ho thereupon took up tho business of advertising agent, and In this business he mado a mark. There was not a newspaper in the city whero his unmo was not as good ns gold.

Ho loaves a largo family and numerous friends to rogrot his suddou taking away. George F. McDonald. After a lingering illness of some months' duration George F. McDonald, tho veteran actor author and manager, has passed away.

Paralysis of the brain was the iuimcdiato causo of his death, which occurred in this city Woduoaday morning at 10 o'clock. His life was a most ovontful ono, and ho counted among his friends and associatoa all tho mou of noto In his chosen calling. Born Ln Brooklyn, April 6, 1837, from his oarly boyhood ho ovinced a strong and earnest love for tho stage, and when but in his toons attracted the attention of tho lato Edwin Forrest, and became ouo of his favorite pupils. Ono of his earliest ventures was tho management of tho old Amoriean Museum, cornor of Broadway and Ann stroet, Now York, for P. T.

Barnum, and then In succossion ho managod tho Tremont Theater, BoBton, iu 1SB3 tho Dearborn street Theator, Chicago, in 18CS; tho Howard Athoneum, Boston, for John Slotson; tho Park Theater, Brooklyn, for Colonel W. E. Sinn, and was also interested in various enterprises with Tony Pastor. Whon Jarrett Palmer some yoars ago rovivod "Uncle Tom's Cabin" for a tour of England and tho Provinces ho was specially ongaged for the titlo rolo, as ho had particularly ldontlflod himself with tho part, having playing it with Mrs. G.

C. Howard during its first production. During tbo season of 18S1 2 ho producod at tho Union Square Theater, Now York City, an original work entitled but afterward rechristoned "Conoy Island, or Little Ethel's Prayer," under tho inanagomeut of Messrs. Shook Collier. Among his old time successes and favorite plays woro Earlo," "Tho Golden Far mor," "Othollo," "The Castle Specter" and "Tho Stranger." His last professional ongagomont was with Brooks ii Dickson's "liomany Hyo" company.

Ho was.one of tho originators and chartor membors of the B. P. O. Elks, and wrote tho Second Dogreo of that ordor. Good natured, wholesoulod and generous to a fault, his death will bo a loss to all who know him.

others may do he should not think of aban doning the standard which he is under every obligation to sustain emphatically and with out swerving. Republicans who do not approve of Mr. Griswold'e non committal and not very creditable attitude on the Mayoralty question will probably not give themselves over to any very extraordinary exertions in his behalf. The Democrats of tho Third District havo placed in nomination for Senator Mr. John L.

Cameron, of the Third Ward. Mr. Cameron is an upright, vigorous and cultivated gentle man, a lawyer by occupation and a man who would, if chosen, serve his constituency with credit to thein and to himself. Ho will be supported by nil tho Democratic voters of tho district, and under ordinary circumstances would get no more than his party vote. It seems to us, however, that the timidity of Mr.

Griswold and his failure to stand squarely by the Republican colors will lose, him the support of a considerable body of Republicans who may very safely and properly give tneir suffrages to Mr. Cameron. Pulpiteers Out Place At a meeting of the Young Republican Club on Tuesday evening tho proceedings were en livened by the utterances of two pastors of churches. One of them, the Kov. J.

It. Thompson, recently of Ohio, said, among other things Sonic people appear to think that a KopttMicnn In fact, any politician ought to bo a shabby genteel sort of a person, with an unsiiavou mco nnu with tobiovo Juu runninp oat of the corners of Ins mouth, ami present a pum rally dilapidated apponr anee (hit in the Buekevo Stato, vvlioro I hail my raising," wo eHtiieinoil It an nonor co iinu mono and tvearfiooil clothes anil goto ctiurcn rt'Kumiij mi vote the Republican ucKei. uuiri uu kuv" clnthos lmrt anv man. Some people in tho Itnst scorn to think that poor clothes and a dirty fnco aro tho necessary requisite i of good govorumont, but I don't tho thoory. The members of the Young Republican Club have set themselves up as representing the good sense, culture and conscience of tho rising generation Brooklyn.

Iheir in dorsement has only such value as can bo de rived from their recognizod intelbgence and lategrity. What sort of stuff is this to be telling intelligent peoplo Does any member of the Lib claim for a moment that any person in his senses believes anything of the kind Are we to assume that tho people who indorse General Woodward's candidature, as this clergyman does, hold that tho people who are supporting Mr. Whitney and General Catlin wander about like tramps, drooling tobacco juioe over filthy clothes Is there a person whose mind has not been permanently unsettled with "poppy or mandragora" who really entertains such phantoms of the mind? The statement is a libel upon the people of Brooklyn, and, made by a clergyman, is none the less reprehensible. But the Rev. Mr.

Thompson's knowledge of tho city is either of the most, limited character, or like Baal, "ho sloepeth or peradvonturo is on a journey." He tolls the club that unless it indorses General Woodward it "will have committed Tiolitical suicide." It is banded together to secure pure municipal administration, ho informs it, and gives the mem bers and tho city at large this precious piece of information: "Justly or unjustly, you as a club have acquired tho reputa tion of preventing fraudulent voting in Brooklyn." Indeed? Is this the knowledge that the Rev. Thompson has imported from Ohio for the edification of this city Does ho know a single case of fraudulent voting in Brooklyn during the. past ten years Does ho know when the Registration Act was passed 't Docs he know when the Young Republican Club was formed how many years after the passage of that act If he does not, is it not a piece of impertinence in him, a stranger, to be imposing his ignorance on any orgamza. tion of men who know better? Unless his pulpit ministrations are based upon a little bettor knowledge of his subject than his polit ical oratory the good people of Grace M. E.

Church may be pardoned if they do not take his aberrations very much to heart. But, under circumstances not a year old, would it not bo better for Mr. Thompson to take the natural rest that society accords its spiritual guides, and leave the arduous concerns of pol itics for more vigorous organisms? As regards the other clergyman who spoke in favor of General Catlin's indorsement, he committed tho abominable offense against good taste of exploring tho General's private affairs. One would suppose, after the delightful exhibition of himself made by Dr. Bur chard last Fall, our Republican neighbors would be rather shy of the clerical cam paigner.

An to Frauds in Ohio. There are allegations of frauds in Ohio. Democratic frauds are charged by Republican shouters in Cincinnati. Republican frauds are charged by Democratic shouters at the same place. Democrats have been found act ing crookedly at Columbus.

Republicans havo been found acting crookedly at Cleveland. The dishonors are even and the dis cord is defeiming. A more gratifying feature is that the best citizens in both parties aro uniting to show up the rascals who disgrace both. What Ohio needs is an election law modeled on that of New York State. A law which enables the election to be doubted and fought over again, after the polls are closed, is a bad thing.

There are some pretty tough and pretty ex pert Democrats in Ohio, but when a game of fraud is going on the Republicans are likely to beat thorn. The Republican rascals out there can commit frauds with both hands and mako a speech on the necessity of a pure bal lot at tho same time. They can cheat, lie, buy and steal and then swear, until they are black in the face, that the Democrats did it. On tho contrary, the Democratic scoundrels who go into the fraud business are not versa tile. They commit the frauds without trim mings of oratory for purity of the ballot, and they do not mix up ballotbox stuffing with re ligious exercises, as tho manner of their Re publican brethren is.

We hope all the rascals in Ohio politics will be laid by tho heeh but we would bet money that if any frauds are going on John Sherman and his fortunes and his henchmen won't get left. Honest JoLn had an experience down in New Orloaus in 1870 77 which qualifies him for first honors in any fraud college in tho universe. The mind that could deviso annointing Eliza Pinkston with cantharides, while other saints manufactured affidavits of outrages for her to sign, is capable of holding its own in a game of loaded dice, though tho devil should throw double sixes every time. No, brethren, don't get excited about Ohio frauds. John Sherman will see that none are committed which will benefit any one but himself.

The President is greatly embarrassed in his selection of Civil Service Commissioners by tho in adequacy of tho salary attaching to these positions. Washington Critic. Why not relieve the President of his embarrassment hy abolishing the office of Commis sioner It is as useless as the office of United State Minister Plenipotentiary, and that rep resents the last estate and very lowest degree of uselessness. The money spent on these Washington figure heads of reform is money thrown away. All the necessary examinations can be conducted without them.

A board of examiners in each department, composed of the heads of bureaus or chief clerks, would answer every practical purpose. Abolish the commission. If no method of getting rid of Hazen ex ists, one ought to he invented. Perhaps the indignation excited by his tyrannical treatment of the Signal Service men at Fort Myer, will stimulate the ingenuity of the authorities and lend to the adoption of some plan for ejecting him into the outer vastness of private life, whero his electricity will be less confined and comparatively harmless. Our gory fellow townsman, General Stew L.

Woodford, whoso sudden translation from the field of battle to tho arena of "boodle' oxcito the wonder of his neighbors, has con tribuifed some very amusing features to tho municipal canvass this Fall. Neverthless, we aro quite convinced that General btcwart Jj. Woodford will not be made Corporation Coun sel of Brooklyn just yet. It is a cold day for the General, but he will have to wait. If Sir.

Schurz wants to purchaso the Boston Post and run it ns a Democratic paper he may bo able to keep it up to its present stand ard of excellence. But if his purpose is to convert it into a Mugwump journal he will find that the field is already more than occu pied by tho Herald and Advertiser. The Post is ono of the best Democratic papers published in New England. It combines tho I wiBdom of nge with the soap and sprightli Office. I Domocratio.

A Talk About Candidates and Voters. The Nomination of Mr. Whitner Com mendedKind Words for General Catlin and Dr. Funk The Lato Oeorgo B. McClellau.

Dr. Talmage talked a little politics Inst His lecturo was as fol night at tho Tabemaclo. lows: Two chapters iu this week's history striko my at tention tho first chapter political, tho second nosological. The Mayor's office of Brooklyn Is a tremendous responsibility. Many of the ancient kings whoso raino has reaction us ruled not so many peo uo.

Brooklyn Is the nrst city of lue Union. '1 wo or three other cities surpass us in numbers, but Brooklyn as a city of homes has no compeer. Brooklyn is New York in its best mood. Groat multitudes of our people go to New York for purposes of traffic, but at night thoy come homo for rest and sodality and good neighborhood. If any man liv ing horo does not liko Brooklyn it is because ho has had his hand in somebody olso's pocket and boun fouud out.

Ho who wins tho chief magistracy of this city is to bo congratulated, if thore be anything in worldly honors desirable. We havo four men by conventions put beforo us as candidates. lhroo oi tnom are my personal Irionds. cji Mr. Woodward, a Btraucor to me, 1 hoar nothing but excellent things, and 1 am told on all Bides ho is one ot our host citizens; intelligent, energetic, and his character uulmpeachablo.

The other throe I personally know to be fully compe tent for any position to which our city might cloct thorn. Mr. Whitney Is an old fashioned Mothodist. tho peddlers of partisan mud havo not boon ablo tho small oud of a shrirp pin. Honest, unpretentious, well balanced, commonscnsical and Christian.

So much for him. General Catlin, another caiulidato, is ono of our ablest men, his sacrifices tor tho country known lo all who know of the courageous deeds of our Civil War. Ho who aves a right leg on the battle field puts his country uuder obligations it can never pay. who btayed at home and mado patriotic speeches and hurrahed when tho troops went off deservo no such consideration as ihoso who put themselves into tho contest. Satan mado a mistake and told tho truth whon ho snld in tho Book of Job: "All that a man hath will he givo for his life." Ho who risks his life for his country and comes out with limb amputated deserves the roverenco, the admiration and tho reward of city nnd nation.

In a village near the field of Waterloo is a chapel nnd in it a monument which nn English General built memory ot lus log lost in the great battle. But we are so economically built that ho who loses a limb in the cause of God or his native land deserves a warmer acknowledgment than that of cold marble inscription. General Catlin, threo timos brovettod for gallant conduct at i'etorsburg and tho battles of the Wilderness, will always stand high in tho estimation of those who can heroism. Tho Prohibition candidato, Dr. l'unk, has for a long time, bv voice and pen, been atenohor of good morals and has hi his own lifo exemplified tueni.

As publisher, lie, with his partner business, has dono moro than any one I know to fight back the depraved literaturo of the day by substituliug cheap but wholesome reading, and his priming presses aro doing a work tor God and the purification of society beyond estimation. But ho is moro distinguished as tho sworn foo of rum. lio sees, as you and I soe, that tho great walking, sitting, prostrating curso of tins country is arunkonnoys. II I could do it 1 would bolt, shut ovory rumshop on earth with a boll that nothing short of the earthquako of tho last Judgment could unfasten. The rum traffic is tho worst business that ever smokod up from hell.

Yet the Republican and Democratic parties aro down on their knees before the demijohn worshiping and practically saying: thou almighty rum Jug, wo worship mee. navo mercy on us and tell us what to do and we will do ir. Give us office or we die. Lot somo of thy dropping fnll on us and lliiuo shall bo tho glory forever and ever. Anton." Things will go on and go worse until all good men of all parties will combine and, rising abovo baso partisanship, ring tho death kuell of rum.

Dr. Funk is ouo of the Lord's champions iu this coming Armageddon. So you liuvo four mon before you, either ouo of which, in my opinion, would make a successful of Brooklyn, and a great many men nominated for tho other offices of city and State. I lay out before you tlieso lour tickots. You cannot, as a Christian, shirk tho responsibility.

A sailor who should roll ovor lu his hammock to take nnotlior nap when tho sharp whistle of tho boatswain gave tho call to the deck, to the ratlines, arguing that as tho othor sailors will attend to thoir duties, it therefore makes no difforonco about his attendance on duty, such a uilor would desorvo to bo put in irons. On board tuts snip of Mate each citizen has beforo htm a ropo or crank which lie must lay hold of. Failing to do that ho diiBorvcs to bo sot ashoro or transferred to eoiuo fragment of a wrocked monarchy. He has no business Here, wuore Gou and America oxpect ovory votor to do his duty. I havo no pationco with those peoplo who sit and from year to yoar about public corruption and mismanaeoment of city, Stato and national affairs, while they put lorin no exortion to mane tilings uotter.

vote you must. Lot carriages go out and fotch in the invalid and tho aged. Thore is no more patriotic scono than the octogenarian on crutches or couch at the ballot box holping to decldo whether his children and graudchildron shall livo in a country righteouf ly governed or a land cursed with baleful influences Alauy of you will be called to vote a split ticket Thnro aro good mon iu tuese uciceis inai i waui to boo in offlco, aud there aro somo on all tho tickets whoso election I would reprehend. Whon oithor of tho political panics comes 10 oo immaculate, cuon I can take the heading of tho ticket as indicative that the outlro list of nominees aro fit for election, but as things are now the words Democratic or Ke Tmhlican doeiue noiuiug ior me. almost always vote a split ticket.

Some mon pride themselves on votini? the ontiro ticKet oi tuoir party without roior once to the qualifications of the nominees, as though a man shouiu go to tne apovnecary sioro, auci needing ono modiclno on the shelf, should ordor tho druggist to give him somo of all tho niodiclno3 on that sholf. You toll him thoro are medicines on that shelf that will do him damage. "Oh," he says, "I pride myself on tho fact thot when I take ono medicine on a shelf I take tho wholo shelf rhubarb, calomel and Jalap, belladonna and Jujubo paste, lozenges and strychnine." I must seo who the men personally are, and ln our city this Is no difficult thing to find out. Brooklyn, although a largo city, is in its habits an overgrown village, where everybody knows ovorybody, and sometimoB understands his neighbor's business better than ho does his own. Thoro aro peoplo who will tell you nil about the candidates where thoy live; what aro thoir morals; whore thoy go to church, if at all; what they wore; how much is thoir Income; what they had for breakfast to day and what they will have for breakfast to morrow morning; how much they pay for thoir boots; whothor thoy meet their butcher's bill promptly; which they profor, sirloin or portorhouso steak; whether they are in debt for tho last week's washing; what they drink, toa, coffee, soda water, sour mash whisky or Old Crow.

Thero Is no placo on the continent where it Is easier to And out all about the candidates. But do not take without discount what mon of one party think of the nominations of tho other party. Thoro are legitimate wayB of finding out what are the qualifications of all tho candidates for the different offices. Never vote for a bad man, whether he thinks as you do or not. You cannot depend on a bad man to do right At tho first temptation he will fly the track, ho will sell out to tli enemy.

At tho momont you are depondlng on him for a right voto ln Aldormauic Board or Legislature he will, through a new pair of gold spectacles, see his duty Iu tho opposite direction. When I seo a good man I do not apply the religious test. Thoro Is many a man wise for the next world who is a fool for this. It is a bad stato of things when your vote for a candidato Is decided by the church he attends. Integrity and adaptednoss are the chief qualifications.

Daniel Webster was an abla Secretary of State, but nobody would have proposed him for Socrotary of tho Treasury. Somo men are born with Senatorial manners and aro not at home till thoy roach a Senatorial position, wtiile others have post mortem physiognomy and show they wero intended for coroners and really enjoy a funoral. The accident of politics often hurls into office men unfitted for their position. No cruel man should be a Jailor. No merciless man should be a sheriff.

No man of ungovernable temper should be a policeman. No bribable man should be a legislator. No man unable to tako in all tho interests of a city should be a Mayor, or all the Interests of a State should be a Governor, or all tho interests of the North, South, East and West should boa President Lot me counsel you as far as possible to abstain from personalities. Do not use epithets you will bo sorry for after the struggle is ovor. Do not style the opposite candidates knaves or blasphemers or Bote.

Y'ou gain no votes by abusivenesB. Slanders react My fathor said that it was political persecution that gave Andrew Jackson an overwhelming majority. It is human nature to sympathize with tho undor dog ln tho light. Let tho contost be open and fair and honorable, though it bo perslstont If you put down your robe of Christian character till after the election you may never get Ron agaiu. A religion which will not help a man and preserve his equipoise during tho Autumnal election is no religion at all.

Abovo all, wo must keep our City Hall clean. That Is the point around where you may feel the moral pulse of the city disclosed. Dishonest Jobs must be hurled down tho marble steps before thoy get a fair foothold. Water boards having so much to do with tho cloansing of tho city must themselves bo clean. Street Commissioners must make a highway for Justice Health officers must understand that they havo much to do with moral disordor as well as physical conditions.

But now I turn tho leaf political and come to the leaf necrologlcal. George B. MeClellan was something higher than ex Commander ln Chief of the American armies. He was tho highost stylo of Christian gentleman.

As such I knew him. The gigantic injustices done him uovor ruffled his spirit, becauso his trust was iu God and not in tho caprices of human favor. If General MeClellan hod obeyed the popular clamor that cried, On to Richmond it would have boon the destruction of tho army and the ruin of tho United States Government Tho army was not ready for tho movemout that the peoplo demanded. It always has been so in invention, in scientific discovery and in war that a certain number ot mon must do ungrateful and unappreciated work and thon, later on, when things ore all matured others como iu and got all the credit The battle of Antiotam, whore MeClellan commanded, was Just as great as the battlo of Gettysburg, where Meado commanded, or the battlo before Richmond, whero Grant commanded, Tho difference was betwoen the orchard in June, when the fruit is green, and Soptembor, when the fruit Is ribo.

Birmingham, Octobor 31. Tho Journal, publlshod at Livingston, this State, where tho dosporado, Stove Roufroe, an escapod convict was formerly sheriff, and where an unsuccessful attempt was roceutly made to capture him, prints an account of an intorview by tho oditor with Bonfroo a few days ago.

Louis, October 31. The Globe Democrat prints, editorially, this morn lng the following interesting facts in connection with President Lincoln and the war: A number of personal friends were discussing some incidonts of tho lato war; ono of them spoko of Mr. Lincoln's aversion to bloodshed and, In il lustration, that he had It from a membor of tho Cabinet of tho war period that Mr. Lincoln, on his return from the Hampton Koads conference ln Fobruary, 1805, proposed to his Cablnot to submit a message to Congress giving to the Southern States an amount of monoy equal to tho probable C0Bt of the war, from that time to its close, on condition of their laying down thoir arms and returning to tbelr loyalty to tho Union. Tho editor of the Globe Democrat, hearing of the conversation, sent a memorandum of it to Hon.

John P. Vshor, who was, at the timo referred to, Mr. Lincoln's Secretary of tho Interior and is now a resident of Lawrence, requesting him to state his recollection as to its correctness. From Mr. Usher's reply, which was received yosterday, we mako tho following extract: Soon after his (Lincoln's) return from the James River tho Cabinot was convened and he road to It for approval a jneasage he had prepared to bo submitted to Congress, iu which ho recommended that Congress appropriate $300,000,000, to be apportioned among tho several proportion to slave population, to bo distributed to the holdors of slaves In those States upon condition that thoy would consent to tho abolition of slavery and tho disbanding of tho insurgent army, and would acknowledge and sub mit to the laws of tho United States.

The members of the Cabinet woro ail opposed. Ho soomed some what surprisod at that and asked How long will the war last No ono answered, but ho soon said 'A hundred days well, we are spending now in carrying on the war a day, which will amount to all this money, besides all tho lives." With a doep sigh he added. "But you nre all opposed to mo, and 1 will not send the AKREST OF A DISTRICT ATTORNEY. Sequel to the RunKel Grave Kobbliiff Sensation in Wisconsin. Poht Washington, October 31, The Eunkel grave robbing sensation here has re ceived fresh interest from the arrest of District Attorney Jackson, County Superintendent of Schools Scott, Sheriff Weikor and Dr.

The disclosures did not bear out the rumors, it Is said, and the body was reintorred. These proceedings woro taken without the cognizance of tho girl's mother, who was much onragod when she heard of them and she procured the arrest of all the parties concerned. On somo technicality thoy woro all discharged and yostorday she procured warrants from a Justice in the Town of Grafton for thoir rearrest The people throughout the county are very much worked up over tho grave desecration.

SIX PAGES. Tilts Paper has the; tarffcxt Ciriula lion of any Evmini; Taper lit tne lnilcd Slates, lis value us an Advertism; parent. medium is therefore np Victory Assured Within tlie State. The Democratic Rtnlo Committee ami the Democratic newspapers are entirely eont'ultmt of Democratic success. The Democratic voter who litis made an examination of the forces at work and of the chances of the contest is equally confident.

Tho Democratic voter who interrogates Lis own spirit is aware that tho assurance of victory is (strong within him. The Republican journals and politicians Lad a confidence equal to this two weeks ago. They are not able to simulate it now, for they violent form unmistakable Signs of apprehension. They are urging their partisans to action in words which arc almost hysterical. They are painting the consequences of Democratic, victory in colors which are the result of a frantic spirit.

They are resorting to the most ridiculous allegations against Democrats for seeking to commend their ticket to all divisions of voters, as if suffrages were not tho object of campaigning. The contrast between tho calmness of the Democratic spirit and the. frenzied ejaculation of the Republicans is a significant ante election sign. There are reasons for expecting a conclusive Democratic victory in the State. The party is well organized and is tho oughly united.

It has an advantage over last year, in this respect, when though well organized it was not thoroughly united. This year, there is no evidence that all who proiess ana can emselves Democrats will not earnestly snp 4i, ticket. The ticket ltseir is nn excellent one. The nominees who arc already in office are Govornor Hill, Controller Chapin, Attorney General O'Brien and State Engineer and Surveyor Sweet. There has been no real criticism of the way in which they Lave performed their official duties and very little pretended criticism.

They are recognized as honest, capable and efficient servants of the people. Upon Governor Hill has been directed a stream of personal vilification which Las shown the wickedness and desperation of liis defamers and created for him a sympathy and consideration among manly men everywhere. The nominees who are selected by tho Democrats from citizens not heretofore in are General E. V. Jones, for Lieutenant Governor: Mr.

Frederick Cook, for Secretary of State, and Mr. Lawrence J. Fitzgerald for State Treasurer. Their capacity, integrity and direct fitness for the duties of the office's for which they have been nominated are unquestioned. There is no citizen who has any reason to expect oilier than good government at their hands.

Not only is the Democracy, which has a clear plurality of voters in a Slate in which a plurality elects, united upon this ticket but the natural allies of the Democracy are supporting it, too. They are tho Labor party nnd the Anti Monopoly party, bodies of voters who have wisely and hopefully recognized that in the success of Governor Hill and his associates the best interests of the people, as a whole and as classes, will be subserved. The election which once more presents the natural allies of the Democracy in co operation with the Democracy will supply an illustration of force which will be as interesting as it should be effective. Upon this measure of strength the Democracy has been able to depend since the nominations were made. The Democratic campaign has sufficed to present the appeals and reasons for preserving this unity of foTces and to provide the organization to bring out such forces to the polls.

Since the nominations, the Democratic party has received unexpected advantages, for which it is indebted to the folly and wickedness of its opponents. They have staked their success as a party upon tho purpose and power of two factions in it, the Half Breeds and the Mugwumps, to humiliate and destroy a third, tho Stalwarts. The latter, having been smitten on one cheek and having turned the other olso, feel that they have fulfilled all Scripture, and that forbearance has ceased to be a virtue. They mean to show that the manhood of Republicanism can assert itself against the jnushhood of Republicanism, and they will do BO. Not only has the Davenport management thus incensed a powerful faction, but it has also deliberately set the oratory of the party to the key of sectionalism, violence, hate and defamation.

The South and the Cleveland Administration have Leon forociously attacked. The business interest of the country has been imperiled and alarmed. The bloody shirt has been raised to view again. The desire and production of a new civil war, as an instrument for party success, have been made the creed and policy of Republicanism. That is seen to bo its direct tendency.

Tho effect on sane and well meaning men has been immediate and great. The merchants, manufacturers and all who have au interest of property, business or labor in the community aro aroused to sustain the pacific course of the Federal Administration Iry electing a State administration in line with it. A contest previously conditioned favorably to the Democrats has thus been made more favorable than ever to them in its outlook. Republican fatuity and fiendish ness have rendered the cause of the Democracy the cause of union and of peace, as well as of good government and reform. Now let all friends of honest, frugal and fraternal government to whom these words come be of good cheer.

Victory surely waits on their cause. That cause needs only the votes of those resolved to vote for it. Let them arrange their affairs to give Tuesday to voting and to seeing that those in sympathy with them vote, too. Then will close in triumph a short but memorable campaign, and New York State will speak that word for brotherhood and for reform, for Cleveland and for Hill, which is required by the rights and needs of the Republic which should be pronounced with all the majestic emphasis of public opinion. Mr.

Speech. Mr. Evarts when elected Senator said: Henceforth I hold a brief for the Republican party; it is my client." People know that when a lawyer says that he desires to bo understood as an attorney only, when ho speaks on politics. An attorney for a fee will snv black is white and white is black and wrong is right and right is wrong. What Mr Evarts said last night is, therefore, not to be taken as sincere or insincere.

It waB simply the talk of an attorney, holding a Senatorship ns a retainer and construing it to he his pay for making a one Bided speech for a defendant nartv to the iurv of voters. Themaladroitness of Mr. Evarts is a fact regretfully noticed by those who have sorrowfully observed his lapse from growth info decadence. That maladroit ness was never seen more plainly than in his waving of the bloody shirt last night. That is wicked business for a patriot.

It was stupid business for a clever man. Mr. Evarts has boon occasionally patriotic. He used to be clever. Last night he was neither, and truth compels the statement, even in this city where he has many admirers, that ho was both diabolical and dull last night, and his hearers wished he would stop, long before tho ono happy thought in his speech of ending it occurred to him.

There are Republicans who have memories. They remember that in lTo Mr. Evarts took the platform in Cooper Institute and denounced President Grant for standing by the Southern Republicans in Louisiana. Rut that was when Mr. Evarts was a candidate for a Democratic nomination for President.

They also remember that in 18711, having helped put in Hayes by fraud and having taken his fee in the Secretaryship of State, Mr. Evarts engineered the overthrow of the Republican governments in South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana, which had received more votes than Hayes had. Mr. Evarts for fraud did the Judas act to Southern Republicanism then, and it does not belong to him to lecture other peoplo on like matters or raise the bloody ehirt now. He was the author of tho overthrow of Southern Republicanism.

Ho fastened Hampton, Drew and Nichols on Southern Republicanism. He drove Chamberlain, Btearns and Packard into eiile with more thoroughly done on every hand we may rest assured. The contest has boon too sharp to permit the slightest relaxation of energy or indifference at the last moment. Hut these are details with which the public does not and need not concern itself. The work of recording its judgment is altogether secondary to the task of reaching a verdict, and the testimony and argument aro all in.

So far as the Eagle is concerned, it has laid before its readers all the considerations it had to offer in behalf of tho candidates whoso election it has advocated. It has labored conscientiously for what it believes to be the true interests of tho country, the State, the County and the City of Brooklyn. It has treated all its opponents with fairness and stated its own enso clearly and concisely. That being tho case, there is very little more for it to do but give its characteristically ample and impartial reports of the last meetings that will be held. It supplements this statement with a caution to its readers to be on their guard against startling stories that may be set afloat too late for correction.

Lies travel very fast, and we regret to say that there are persons sufficiently devoid of honor to take advantage of the superior flcetness of the lie over the truth to circulate campaign falsehoods at a time when by common consent they aro barred. No matter, then, what striking rumor or story gets into circulation before Tuesday we advise our readers, no matter what their personal preference may be, to treat them with calm indifference. Whatever has not been said up to date is not worth listening to. The. campaign in this city has been very ox citinL'.

Discussion has been singularly point edand vigorous, and very likely sensitive skins Leeii dtnrn Iv Kcored. But it is ono of the features of our political system which for cicners crwitlv admire that while the aspen ,11, AmnriciMi camiiaicru anneal to be inexcusable, they Aro like dust Hint's lightly Stirrod, Ana as lightly laid again. Gentlemen who last week were in bitter an tagonism will by the end of this ono resume the most cordial and intimate relations, tno vanquished no less readily than tho victors acquiescing in tho will of tho people, in niaivv respects tho contest has been unique. The Democracy has come to the front in bet ter shape than it has presented a lorai con frst in nianv vears. It has put torwarct a citv and county ticket of such um form excellence that not even hypercritical opponents can formulate a single charge against any ono of tho candidates upon it, The organization is entirely harmonious and united, and has pledged itself to i course of action iu relation to municipal of fairs that is in the direct line of tho organic principles of the party and in absolute con formity with tho efforts which, through the instrumentality mainly of Democrats, has made Brooklyn the best governed city in the United States.

Tho Republicans have gone into the contest this time rather to main tain tho integrity of their organization than with any hope of winning the election The normal Democratic majority in this city whon all the elements work together for a common object is too great to hold out any prospect of Republican victory when the lines are drawn sharply. But tnat tney will preserve their identity nnd organ i ntion under their present leader is so manifest that it needs no affirmation. The gentlemen who look coldly on both parties as not being good enough to suit them have organized a third. Such of them as wero Republicans and realized tho hope lessness of a contest with a reorganized and united Democracy fancy they see in the fusion of the dissatisfied opportunities which thev could not look for under tho old conditions. According to them some Demo.

crats prefer political association with them and propose to vote for a so called Democrat whoso supporters are mainly Republicans. How these three divisions of tho 109,000 registered voters of Brooklyn will stand numerically on Tuesday night is a question of absorbing interest to all of them. That Mr, Daniel D. Whitney will head the list by a plurality that has not been exceeded in Rrooklvn's history, is the belief of many of tho most careful and discreet observers This belief, it is neodleas to Bay, the Eagle, whoso own opportunities of observation are oxcellent, also holds. What is more convincing than opinions, however, namely the exact figures, will be presented on Tuesday night.

We think some of our friends will bo treated to a very considerable surprise, the nature of which will bo very gratifying to plain people. It has boen a source of satisfaction to tho Eagle that it has been able to give hearty support to the tickets, State, county and city, of the Democratic party, and to look forward to victory for the several candidates of that party. The assurances that, reach us from every corner of tho State that Governor Hill will be re elected by a largo majority indicate that tho slow restoration of prosperity to the country is in no danger of interruption through any unwarranted disturbance of the Federal Administration; that tho industrial elements of the country, through a Democratic victory in this State, aro to count for more hereafter than they ever have done in the past that tho doctrine of Home Rule for Brooklyn, including a rational and practical application of tho central idea of Civil Service reform iB to be made to the municipality, and that the plain peoplo of the State and city are to retain the control of affairs. Tho triumph of Democracy this year has one still further advantage, in that it puts a decisive check upon tho movement among desperate partisans in other parts of the country to renew the Civil War as a means of regaining office and plunder. Under Whirl! Flag Our esteemed fellow citizen, Mr.

Stephen M. Griswold, who has been honored by his associates in tho Republican party by a nomination for the high office of State Senator, is, we fear, engaged in the ungraceful occupation of trying to carry water on both shoulders. In other words, he stands in an equivocal relation to that most important issue now before local Republicans, the candidacy of General Isaac S. Catlin for the Mayoralty of this city. Mr.

Griswold ought, in fairness, to remember that he is the nominee of his organization in a district where his hopes of election are based, and properly based, on tho support of the Republican party. Without tho assistance of the regular Republican organization he could not have been placed in a relation to command the votes of his neighbors. Ho looks to tho organization to confirm his election at the polls. From the moment he secured a majority of the delegates to the Third Senatorial Convention he has received the cordial co operation of his Republican colleagues in his canvass. Nevertheless, Mr.

Griswold is reported as refraining from expressing any affirmative opinion on the Mayoralty controversy. He has not publicly stated, so far os we have learned, whom he intends to support for Mayor, unless his general approval of the Republican candidates in a body is to be accepted as a definite expression of intention. Mr. Griswold is not to be congratulated on his behavior in this respect. What ho is doing may seem to him the politic thing to do, under the circumstances.

It may be politic, but it is not courageous or manly, as Mr. Griswold may nscertain to his cost before tho votes are counted. A candidate for State Senator who will not, when his party is placed upon its take a strong and affirmative position is hardly entitled to KACl.VG AT imiGHTOX. A Largo Attendance Icspito the Storm.

MR. DAVENPORT AND BENEFIT ASSOCIATIONS. ISis Unfriendliness to Thcui Will Cost Him the Votes of Their members. To the Editor of tlu Brooklyn Eagle Is it true thnt, while in tho Legislature, Mr. Ira Davonport used his lnfiuonco to compel tho different mutual bonefit ossoclatlons of Brooklyn to become subject to the laws which govern tho large life Insurance companlos?

"While many good Democrats wero gathered at Governor Hill's rocoption in tho Clarendon Hotel, Thursday ovoning, an Eagle reporter soized tho opportunity of getting some opinions about tho plurality by which Mr. D.

D. Whltnoy will bo electod to tho Mayoralty. Thoy aro as follows City Clerk John Shanloy Whitney will probably only win by a plurality of 1,000 ovor Catlin, who Is making a florco fight. John Quiutard, candidate for Supervisor at Large I thiuk Whitnoy's plurality will be 5,000. Josoph C.

Hcndrix I think Whitnoy's plurality will bo from 5,000 to 10,000. II. S. Hollows I think 10,000 is about the plurality by which Whitney will win. Thomas E.

Pearsall Whitnoy will win by at loast 10,000. Assemblyman Earlo It is pretty safo to say that Whitney will got 0,000 moro votes than oithor of his oppononts. William Barro I guoss Whitney's plurality will amount to 10,000. Abraham Lott, candidate for Surrogate I am ex pecting Whitney to win, by 10,000. Goorgo V.

Brower It is going to bo a harder fight than somo Domoorars think. Woodward is an un known quantity. Whitnoy will win, but his plural Hy may bo low. District Attorney Ridgway I expect Whitnoy's election with 15,000 plurality. Counselor nubbard Tho total vote will probably bo 101,000.

Whitnoy will got half of that and prob ably win by 15,000. Woodward Is an unknown quantity. Congressman I'ollx Campbell hitnoy a plural ity will be largo. I cannot venture to say how largo. Aldon S.

Swan I rather expect to seo Whitnoy get 20,000 plurality. THE SOLDIER VOTE. An Appeal to the Veterans to Support a Gallant Comrade.
