D. F. Uaird Suff. 'WASHINGTON' LETTER. Fro j our KejuUr Correspondent. "President Cleveland will unless I am badly mistaken,' said a usual well-inhumed official of prominence, "tak -te;.K within n tew days, peis Moly this week, to lit the party in Xew York and olse whore know that the admin istration wishes the election of Senator Hill." This is in accordance with statements previously made in this cor respondence when poorly in formed tersons, and Repub licans, were trying to create the impression that theie was a doubt as to the atti tude of the administration towards Senator Hill's can didacy for the governship of New York. President Cleve land in his long political ca reer has never been a bolter, and Senator Hill is the regu lar nominee of the pnr'y and as such is entitled to the vote of every Democrat in Xew York, and it will lie safe to wager that he will get that of (irover Cleveland. The formal announcement that Senator McPhetson, of Xew Jersey, would not be a candidate for re-election snr prised few people in Washing ton. Simply because it was expected, and waa the natur al result of the state of his hehltli. The statement cabled from Europe that the United States would join the great European powers in interfer ring to prevent the complete subjugation of Japan by China was really amusing to those familiar with the set tled policy ot President Cleve land. The United States will not join the powers of Europe for the purpose of interfering with Japan, China, or any other foreign nation, simply because it does not believe under the present adminis tration in entering into any entangling foreign alliances. It is none of our business if Japan licks China, or China licks Japan, and the Euro pean powers, which are sel fishly inttrested, will get no assistance from this govern ment in their schemes. There has bin quite n storm among the Republican leaders, because ot the report that Mr. Ha brock, chairman of the Republican Congress ional campaign committee, was in sympathy with the A. P. A., the latest successor to knownothingism, and was using tin machinery of his committee for the distribu tion of documents of that or ganization. Mr. Babcock de nies it, but it is somewhat significant that he should leave Washington at this stage of the campaign, and that his place should be filled by vice-chairman Apsley, of Massachusetts, who has not familiarized himself with the details of the campaign up to this time. He says thatjhe requested MivApsley to come here and take his place for a few days but ohe impress;on seems to be that Mr. Bab cock will have nothing more to do with the management of the campaign for the Re publicans. Rep. Wilson's health was much benefitted by his flving trip to Europe. This week he will return to his district, and enter actively upon the work of the campaign. lit, hasn't the slightest doubt ofj his re-election, although hej is fully aware of the extiaoi-- dinarv efforts being made to! i defeat him by th" lavish usej of money coiiMi'mted byj tlrseAho wish him defeated) because of the part h" took! in shaping the new tariff, Mr. Elkins has, it is reported, sue I ceed;'d in getting the coal cor potations of Mr. Wilson's dis trict to enter upon a bull do zing campaign to prevent the miners voting for Mr. Wil son, the penalty if they do so is to be the loss of their jobs. Rut for every vote he los'sbysuch methods it is believed that he will get two from the independent farm ers ol the district. Senator Faulkner has been in Xew York for several days assisting Secretary Lamont, ex-Secret try Whitney a n d other prominent democrats in bringing about a state of harmony that is absolutely necessary to the success of the party at the coming elec tion. Hon. Edward E. Uhl, first assistant Secretary of State, who wns nominated by the Michigan State Democratic Convention for U. S. Sena tor to fill the unexpired term of the late Senator Stock bridge, which expires March 4, 1894. and which is n o w held under a temporary ap pointment by the Governor by Senator Patton, leave this tveek for that State. Be ginning the 20th inst., when he opens his campaign at De troit, Mr. Uiil expects to speak every week day until the day before electiou. While he is not over-confident that a democratic legislature will be elected he thinks there is a good fighting chance to do so and he intends to do his share of the fighting. Secretary Carlisle has offi cially endorsed the decision of the lion rd of General Ap praisers at Xew York, and of the Collector of Customs at Baltimoie that the entire woolen schedule of the n e w tariff law goesinto effect Jan 1, 1893. It was contended by some importers that this schedule went in to effect when the bill became a law. No in dication has yet been given but it is probable that thede eision will be contested in the courts, as thenmountof nion ey involved is quite large. Do We Belong To Wall Street? The People's party 'nave said that we belong to Wall street; that that great and good man was the victim of Wall street. Wall street is the money wealth of this nation, the great street of A tnerica n ba n kers; the m oney of the country is concentrat ed there. But what does the tariff bill do? It puts a tax of 2 per cent, upon every in come in the United States over $4,000. Applause. Senator Hill said that 35 per cent, of that tax will be paid by Wall street. Do y o u tiiink if we belonged to Wall street that we would have taxed it f 20,000,000? Yet that is what we have done." He Coalrfn't with I hem, IIk kouv, X. C.Oct. 8. Du ring the la t meeting of the populists and republicans in I'ntMt ha county, at w h i c h i they effected a fiHioti of their' principles (?) ther.' neur:vd an instance- of such lr ivcan I j maidy politic;! courage inel honesty tint I think worthy ot the higher comme'.i Jatioii and shows that while such mti as Otho Wilson, A. C. Shuford, Marion Butler am! others of this character are willing to swallow all the rot tcuiiess of the republican par ty of which they used to speak so much for the sak ot get ting an office, there are hun dreds of honest populists who will not follow them in their utter repudiation and sacri fice of everry principle advo cated by theai twoycatsago. Jesse Iviiliau, an ii tehgent and influential t inner, who lives on the water- of the beautiful South Fork of the Catawba, two years ago was an enthusiastic alliaucernan and populist and had great weight in the councils of his party. He helped to nomi nate men who advocated the principles of the alliance and the people's party, and work ed for their election. This year, however, he was invi ted to a different feast a sac rificial feast, where every prin ciple that he had advocuted before was to be offered up to save a mongrel and fusion ticket from defeat. The convention met. Repnh lieans ami populists were there talking about the sim ilarity of their principles and advoeyting fusion. It was .igreeito. Jesse Killian pro tested. It did i'o good. Old alliancemen who had heard the late Col. Polk on the cor ruption of the republicanp.tr ty, looked eachother in the face dazed at the thought. Jesse Killian arose, with in dignation in his countenance and contempt for the unholy proceedings, and made this little but effective speech: "Gentlemen, I did not leave my neighbors and friends 2 years ago to join the republi can party. Good bye," and left them forever. And hun dreds of other good men will follow his manly exa triple a nd make this same little speech on the G'h of nexr November. Cor. News and Observer. Democratic Rally at Shelby. Lattimoku, X. C, Oct. 7. Clevelaud county on yes terday had a grand rally at Shelby. Fifteen hundred of the "un terrified" mounted on horses, and two on oxen, formed a procession. A ban ner offered to the township bringing the most rides was awarded to township. No. 8, which, by the way, ruptnreel a fine silk bannet twe years since, as we are informed. The speakers weie T. J. Jarvis. "Heat" Bower and the irrepressible "Mack" Rob bins. They made it a day to be remembered. The procession would have numbered more by 2,000 if they had had horses, or oxen available. When as good a county as Cleveland has more Demo crats than horses ami cattle, we feel like saying: "God reigns and the govfrnment lives.' ' .Ve nn-Obser ver. The Prvtidenl' Wi!n. It.dtiiiiore Sun.

Senator Faulkner does not anticipate a declaration of any kind from President Cleveland regarding the situ ation in Xew York, at least for the present. Nor do the New York Ieade-rs, se tar as he knows. He says, how ever, if such u declaration is needed. President Cleveland may be relieel upem to de) the proper thing at the proer time, Just now everything is progressing1 satisfactorly and the prospects ofultimate success are grovvieg brighter every' day. t Jarris and the West. Senator Jarvis arrived in Raleigh Sunday, after a tve week' campaign in the West. He brings with him none of the wearyinge effects ot those days of Democratic toil, but seems in good health, both physically a n d politically. He brings very cheering news f r o m the Xinth district. "You can say," said the Sen ator last night, "that there is no question in the Xinth district except the question of majority. Pt arson went into the campaign hampered, and he has never recovered. Crawford has got him beat now, and c-ery day's cam paign is only adding to the majoritp that is sureiy his. ' I maele no speeches," con tinued the Senator, in Bow er's district. Bower is mak votes every day and will beat Linney by a good round majority. "You ought to have been at Shelby on Saturday," sail the Senator, as glow of en thusiasm came over his fa:e, "you woulel have seen a gen uine old-fashion Democratic rally- -one thonsa nd ca va Iry men, one thousand footmen and five hundred ladies, and these are not estimates but correct figures. The great meeting was an inspiration to Bower. Rob'nins and ;nv - self and we had a rgnlar!

Ex, Cong re-smau Wilton Is Welcomed Home. Chaklestowx, W.Va ,0 t. William L. Wilson was wel comed to West Virginia with an enthusiasm unbounded in the memory of the ohlest citizens of this epiaint old town. A committee of 150 citizen, aeeompanipd by the CliMrlestemn cornet bass band, met the train convey ing Mr. Wilson and the Wash ington party at Harpsr's Ferry. As Mi . Wilson einerg ed from the train the band played "Hail to the Chief," and Mr. Wilsem,ashe passea down the platlorm, wns al most suffocated by the crowd that desired to shake his hand. Entering the ttain for Charlestowp he was fe?r mally, in the car, welcomed by Mr. Brown, a member ot the reception committee as the "able and feailess chii"ip ion of tariff reform." As the train moved out of Harper's Ferrv the band struck up "ifemie Again." and the crowd, in three spec ial curs, packee o their ut most, followed with a song, the refrain of which was: 'William L., William L., William L., we like to tell, William L., we love you well.' As the train drew into Charlestown two additional hands hailed Mr. Wilson's ar rival with "Dixit,-." He was escarteel to the court ho-i-e, where he made a speech to the eager crowd.
