The Ladies' lienevolent society of the High and M. E. church gave a harvest sup per last evening which was enjoyed by a large number of people. A the supi'cr an a i was given, i i selections bv an orchestra, cornet solos by Gertrude Pratr, violin solos by Frank Book, Frank Charles, vocal solos by Miss Piper, readings by Miss Ilolgote. The democracy of Lowell ratified the state ticket in right royal style last even- in tf.

Jluntington hall was thronged with a great and enthusiastic assemblage. The gallery was ladies occupying the body of the hall was filled toils utmost capacity.lt is seldom that such a concourse of people assembles under one roof to Join in a grand reception to party leaders. JCvery chtss was represented, evon i a being noticed among the audience--a good place to bear a. righteous arraignment of the party tluiy support. The working people were out in force and tho way they expressed their approval of the arguments presented made clear i adherence to democratic party.

lion, Quiucy was there and delivered Ins iirst add-oss to a political gathering in this city, tie was accorded an enthusiastic reception when introduced. If applause counts for a i he made a grand impression upon the vjters of this city. Iff is a plain appearing gentleman, dark featured, with a searching pair of eyes. He wears a black moustache, is light i and wore a dark cut away coat and striped trousers. The.

keen perception of tlie man is displayed in his countenance. a Palmer was present at the rally and with a friend occupied a box on the right ot the stage. Mr. Palmer must have felt that the democrats treated M''. Greenhaige with marked courtesy while dissecting his political record, lie must have realized also that the "calamity bluff" as exposed and relentlessly refuted by botu speakers is au failure.

The applause which greeted the in of Cleveland's name was sufficient to indicate the confidence in his iinau- cial policy and the allegiance lo democratic principles and democratic candidates. Quincy spoke without any attempt at oratory but gave plain facts and unanswerable logic. George Fred Williams is a more catchy orator and has a knack of clinching, his arguments with epigrammatic points which given in his peculiarly emphatic style strike the audience with great force and persuasive effect. It was this art which enabled him to hold the audience spell bound long after the time when they would have refused to listen to a fairly, good speaker, Altogether the rally was a rouser and Chairman Farley of the city committee and Mr. McEvoy who presided are to bo congratulated on its success.

Mr. McEvoy availed himself of the opportunity to warn the voters to support Peter J. Brady for senator with the other democratic candidates on election day. When the band had played a selection Chairman Farley arose amid considerable said: "We are here this evening to listen to a discussion from a democratic a i of tue issues involved in this campaign." Mr. Farley then introduced as a i a Kep.

John W. McEvoy, who was enthusiastically received. The latter expressed his appreciation of the greeting given him. "We rejoice in your numbers and presence" said Mr. McEvoy; tho democratic party appears before you proud of its past and radiant of its future.

The principles of democracy stand for all men i i i i Tho party believes in the people. Democracy means equal rights, equal burdens and good will towards all men. Tlie republican party was conceived for an emergency. Its theory has been that all other parties were hostile to the preaevation of the nation. The primary purpose of this meeting is to a i the work of tho convention and listen to the discussions of the issues.

We are honored tonijiht with tho presence of two democratic leaders and 1 present the honored, able and asmte, the Hon. Josiah Quincy. Mr. Quincy'g Kemarhs. When the.

tremendous applause which greeted the i of Mr. Qniucy's name, had subsided he said: ''We are assembled once more to consider the questions at issue between the two parties. Ordinarily in a state campaign when aro no national officers to be elected, a i a issues would be subordinated to local issues. But the fact is obvious a at the present time i to the depression of business and financial a i we are interested in the query, how did this arise and who is responsible and how can we get out of it. The attendances at the meetiugs show that the people are ready to hoar what remedy may be auplieJ.

The responsibility does not rest on tlie a now in power, but that which went out of power last March. The depression we claim due to legislation and rot to administration. This legislation is a for i in the greater part the republican party is responsible and not the democratic party. The Sherman silver Sun House-Lot Contest. EJffFor ballot and conditions see page 2.

CentralviUe Asa'n 2 lav? and the McKinley law are the causes of tlio depression and both of those measures emanated i the republican party. The Sherman iavv was a party measure and tlie votes of tho democrats were against it. I believe in placing political responsibility where it belongs. And I ask thai those acts be laid at, the door of the republicans autl their results be charged up against the party by lhe people. The republican orators not being able to avoid the responsibility of these measures are trying to bring up a false issue.

They know that it would not be safe to admit that Mr. fin-enhalge voted for tlie mfssure which caused the business depression. They try to raise a scare on the apprehension of Uws whii the democratic party may pass. I am ready to say I should be satisfied if I could have the votes of those who believe, that ihe Sherman law is mainly the cause of the depression against those who i that proposed tariff reform is the cause. The republican orators are seekine; to show that industrial depression has been cause of financial disturbance thus putting tlie cart before, horse, although they know it is just the reverse.

Let us now turn from the republican stumpers and see what the independent i say. Mr. Thomas Dolan, a manufacturer of i a i a aud a protectionist, said: '1 i depression is entirely due to the existence of the silver laws. There is honest republican testimony given from a business Mr. Wm.

Wood, a manufacturerer said 'the fear of tariff reform iliii not cause the depression but rather did tho silver scare. j-iradstreets' business paper was also quoted showing that the disturbance was the direct result of ihe Sherman law, and that the business depression was brought about by the financial stringency. Hut what is the use of piling up the.se authorities? The large business ond commercial oiganizations all over the country, composed of as many republicans as democrats have passed resolutions petitioning congress for the repeal of the silver law and if they saw that the trouble was due to prospect of tariff legislation, they svoulk simply ask that the democratic party let, the tariff alone. The business men of the country are unanimous in believing that the evil lies in the Sherman law. We see the republican party trying to make out that this election will have some bearing on tariff legislation in Congress.

Every intelligent man knows that the democrats in Congress cannot be swayed by the election of Mr. Greenhalge. Tho democratic party obtained thb mandate of the people to revise the tariff and cannot be frightened from its purpose and duty by the election of a republican governor, or by the delusive cry of a wantot coiiiidcnce. His election cannot stay the action of the democratic majority in congress. Since we have elected a democratic governor for three years, the democracy of Massachusetts has been having a larger a i in national politics.

The national democratic parly has recognized the strength of the position taken by the democracy of this state in regard to tariff reform and we should lay the foundation for still greater influence by sending word to Washington next November that the democracy of tho Bay State has achieved another victory. The speaker thon turned his attention to the condition of affairs in the senate. I believe, he said, in the past much bad legislation has been prevented by allowing each man to speak for an unlimited period. But the day of unlimited debate has passed by and the day for finding a way to come to a vote has come. This object should be got at above partisanship.

The republicans who are responsible for the enactment of the Sherman law say that the democrats are responsible for its continuance. There is no distinct issue on the currency between the parties as a whole. Geographical lines, not political, divide the parties in the senate. Free coinage is advocated by the mining states, while other states oppose it, thus the country is divided and the senate is just so situated. The democratic party is now dealing with a question which is non-partisan, and when we see the republican party united on one side then will be time enough to blame the democratic party.

Then those who oppose repeal most strongly are republicans. Tue democratic party is responsible for senate rules which allow unlimited debate. If a rule were now brought in to stop unlimited debate, the same long discussion would ensue till it was killed. "Lastly, remember the stand of the democratic administration on the question of repeal. How is it congress comes to be in session today? Because President Cleveland called it.

In any great cause which has popular sentiment behind it, a great leader is required, and President Cleveland is the recognized leader of the sound money party. Tho popular will must surely in time prevail inside the senate as outside, and some time a repeal bill must pass through that bodv. We must cast our vote either in behalf of the party which as one man stands behind President Cleveland and his attitude or vote against him and the only way to get at this repeal and sound money is to cast our vole for democrats and John E. Russell. (Great applause.) George Fred Williama.

Mr. McEvoy then introduced Hon. Geo. Fred Williams, who was received with great cheering. Mr.

Williams said: "It is true that it has long been my desire to meet Lowell democrats, but i now 1 have never had that pleasure. If this reception is put on for the occasion 1 am very glad to you. The people of Lowell are not indifferent to the honor of having one of their citizens at the head of the state ticket. But the democracy of Lowell in 1890 and '91, when in the tatter years one of your citizens was placed ill unfortunate nomination for the same office by tho republican party, has shown its loyalty. The time has now come when the leaders are able to tell how to address themselves to the public.

It might be supposed by reading your citizen's speeches that he has oeen studying elementary books on free trade and protection, with the addition of a few original ideas. The tariff is no longer an issue. The people settled that question last November and a measure is now being formulated to carry out the pledges of the party. Now if Mr. Greenhalge has any new theories of government the place to expound them is not on the stump, but before the ways and means committee of congress.

In the election of last year some republicans who were in themselves the impersonation of what we want to cure were elected. This district is the very one in Massachusetts that is properly represented. The congressman from this district knows his business and will undoubtedly look after the interest of the district. Last night Mr. Greonhalge stated the issues to be the tariff, silver and business questions.

There has been au effort made by republicans to charge to tariff reform the present depression. They say the fear of tariff reform has caused the cut down in wages and closed mills. But the one call from all over the country is for the repeal of the Sherman law, and the republican i leaders want you to believe that the rest of the country does not know what the matter ia. It would be bard for your to confess that it is a law which he maJe that has closed your mills. It is a necessity for him to convince himself that he is not responsible.

But before Nov. 7 the reoublican leaders will find out that the people of Massachusetts are not to be humbugged. The speaker quoted Senator Sherinan'si speech made iu the senate recently in regard to unconditional repeal, and stated that the whole financial stringency and the business depression was dm: to the silver law and that the repeal would bring a revival of business which would reopen industries and gladden the hearts of millions throughout the country, Chauncy M. Depesv was also quoted as saying that business would start up as soon as the repeal was passed. Who is Sherman and Depew or Greenhalge and Walker? Senator Sherman is right when he says this law Is the cause of the trouble and the remedy is simple, repeal the law.

But what shall be said of the patriotism of men who go up and down the state saying that the repeal will not remedy the depression, but rather a deep seated evil is hanging over us? Even political exigencies do not justify such an argument under such circumstances. Ke- yublicans who three years asio passed a law and are now following a democratic president in quest ot its repeal are to be commended, but it is unpatriotic for republicans to eiiiieavor to shake the belief of the people in the good effect of repeal. The tariff is not an issue in aay sense in this campaign. There are but two issues, the silver question and the business situation. The silver question is in regard to the repeal of a bill framed and passed by republicans.

The speaker then reviewed the meaning of the bill, together with tho work of the president in opposing it. Four years our democratic statesmen labored to prevent the purchase of so much silver each year and in the republican platform of 1SS8 President Cleveland was denounced for trying to clemomitize silver. When the republican party came in they redeemed their pledges to the mining states and doubled the purchase of silver. Now this law was passed and not one of them will justify his vole for it from a financial standpoint. There was nothing but politics in if.

1C we are to maintain gold payments in this country we must have some gold to do it with. When the democrats went out there was gold enough in the treasury to make a feeling of security. There were there when the Sherman law was passed, and one year after had been paid out for silver. We kept on under th.s law, loading out gold and piling up silver bullion, which was tending to reduce our credit, and which was worthless from a redemption standpoint. The speaker then showed how the gold reseive was trenched upon i Lhe result that public confidence was destroyed.

Under Secretary Foster the danger limit reached, the banks began to hoard so that business men could not get money with which to continue business. When tho factories began to run on short tiwe the rate of wages was cut down. Why did not the protective tariff act work on this case? Where were the surplus profits made last year that they could not be drawn upon for the laboring man for whose well being we are told the tariff has been provided. In the midst of this trouble, our president, the leader, sprang to lhe front and in a message to the special session of con- cress, he laid to this law the cause of the depression. Why didn't these tariff shouters tell him he was wroug? Your citizen's comprehension of the situation is not born of his own knowledge but of his osvn necessity.

This was a monetary disturbance. The law has not been repealed and it is a pitiable situation that the stock argument of your citizen and of Mr. Walker to put their thumbs to their nose and say: 'you dc mocrats are not able to repeal the law we President Cleveland, the champion of sound money as he stands represents us as he ought to represent us, and the house likewise tells you what democracy means to do, but when a bill is strangled in the senate we realize that it has got to our American House of Lords which is too far from the people. The republicans opposed a direct vote for senators, why did they do it? Because that party hasn't confidence in the people. Because it would rather trust to the machinations of its state committee than let the voice of the people go up arid name its man.

If the republican party wished to make an issue on democratic responsibility for the passage of their bill it should have given them a candidate whose hands are not stained with that bill. The party had other good candidates, why didn't they nominate them? On the democratic side you have a man who represents the soundest financial principles, and has no bad monetary legislation for which to apologize. Every man who votes for John E. Russell voles to rebuke the senate ana endorse the stand of the party. The great leader stands as firm today as the day he delivered that message.

This i must be repealed and with it there shall bo no compromise and no concessions. He is the strong right arm of repeal and on Nov. 7 let a message be sent him from Massachusetts to the effect that you endorse him by the election of John E. Russell for governor.

Williams resumed his seat, thiee cheers for Kussell and Carroll we gUen with great enthusiasm, aud the great rally was declared closed. PKKSONAJj. Mr. George Kidder and Mr. Nichols of Sacramento, CaL.

Alpbonse DesdaKUns, Qaiuoy, 88, Pamela NEW YORK, Oct. ia--The Sun has special from Bridgeport, saying that the police of Stamford have placed under arrest Charles Clark, aged 35, who Is churged with brutal assault on 16-year- old Louise Hopkins of that place on Tuesday night. He is an uncle of the girl. He is held at Stamford, but the excitement Is so intense over the affair that ho will be brought to the jail in this city today. On.

Tuesday the girl went to Long Ridae, about nine miles from Stamford, to visit her aunt, Mrs. Harry Lockwood. The family retired early. About 11 o'clock Mr. and Mrs.

Lockwood were awakened by loud nn3 prolonged screams from Miss Hopkins' room. out of bed they rushed to their bedroom door, hut found it locked from the outside. A Toice on the other side told them that if they attemp'ted to open the door they would be killed. Air. Lockwood and his wife made their escape from the room by jumping from a second story window.

They aroused the neighbors find the house searched. The room Miss Hopkins had occupied was vacant and in disorder, showing that a struggle had taken place there. After a fruitless search the neighbors re- intending to continue their search at daybreak. Long after i i there came a feeble knock at Mr. Lock wood's door.

When it was opened, Miss Hopkins, half-naked, hysterical, bruised and bleeding and nearly dend from exposure, crawled into the house aud fell fainting on the floor, The Girl's Story. She told a terrible story. A short, thickset man, with a stubby beard and wearing a slouch hat, had entered her room and, after binding her, carried her into tho woods a short distance from the house and tied her to a tree. Then hu told her if sho made nn outcry within 10 minutes he would kill her and he hurried away. As the man did not return, Miss Hopkins by great exertion succeeded in releasing herself and found her way to her uncle's house.

The police and neighbors had been. at work on the case all day. Harry Lockwood, at whose house the girl was stopping, had told the police that when this man was currying tho girl from the house he heard him sneuk and recognized the voice as thnt of Chnrlos Clark. Clark was watched, and when it was found that the tracks in the yard and In the woods near by where the gui was found corresponded with the size of his shoes, he was arrested. The arrest was made just before tho father appeared.

Clark was hurried away and Hopkins was armed. The father of the girl is still very anxious to get at Clark, and says he will kill him if he gets an opportunity. The girl is still in a low condition from injuries received and the terribble fright sustained. Clark refuses to mnke any statement about the affair. The police are sure they have the right, man.

The assailant must have been some one who had a knowledge of the interior of the Lockwojd home- Stead, and Clark had such a knowledge. No Proof of Murder.
