The result of their ubterraneaa excurstoo have been passed upon br all me a. Apparently the are aa tnauffleient prop to the fortune of tbe candidate la whoa behalf tbry were procured.

Tbe Blaine scandal mill 1 one mora In operation, and ft product are carefully packed. labeled, and forwarded to those point where tb independent revolt greatest against Blaine. Minister of lb Gospel esneclellj ar Importuned to rrrel la the Blaine literature, and a system tie attempt has been mad to reach tsem either with printed circulars or with cor-respoodeno containing- tb rlleat Insinuation.

Id several and with tbe result of stamping aa utterly false these malignant stabs. How extensive I this plot to esfsme the Governor may be Judged from toe fact that almost daily letters ar received from remote points asking what troth there is In certat stories which tb writers proceed to outllne.1 In some oases tbe name of tb ponton retailing tbe story Is Inclosedv'TbA sutbor of those Inquiries are clergymen, phy.

tteians, lawyer, and ojervhsnta, who are naturally shocked at tbe astounding developments of the scandal mill. Added to tbe Impossibility of establishing ss truthful such stories as the tiftiouiiy of finding anybody who woi become sponsor for them. For the protection or his own good nam, tbe proprietor of tbe a.txnlo Journal or this city, Mr. W. Arkell.

felt compelled to make a denial over hla sown signature. 1 I am Informed. wrote be to the Governor's private secretary, "that a person in Troy has reported tbat I bave been saying an kind tblngs about Gov. Cleveland's novate lite. Allow to say her that no Troy man or any one else can substantiate anything or the kind, and tbe story as told me by my informant 1 brand aa a lie, and I would be glad to see tb man who has tbe cheek to make any such claims." The story with whose ircu-lauon this gentleman's name was connected involved repeated visits of tbe Governor to house Ol ill-fame In this city.

A meeting of ta Trustees of tb Poldiers Poms wit recently held at Bath, Bteuben County, hevsrai days afterward word reached tbe Executive Chamber that Trustee John Pslraer, of this city, bad on that occasion retailed a story to the effect that a Buffalo gentleman wbo was visiting tb Governor, on doming down to breakfast on morning discovered a female dulv Installed as mistress of the Executive Mansion, wbo bad been transferred to ber position from aba dy bourn. Mr. Palmer was requested by tbe Governor's friends to furnish his authority for this remarkable story, for It was not presumed tbst be, a prominent member of All paints' Cathedral, possessed actual proofs of it alleged authenticity. He called at tbe Executive Chamber, and to Private beoretary Lsroont made an explanation which was accepted as sattslaotory. He had used tbe story, he said, to illustrate the Idea tbat he believed It lust sbout as much ash did certain stories of Mr.

Blaine's private life. Mr. Palmer is a strong Blaine man and believes nothing that is calou-tatod to damage that candidate. Be added tbat the story came to bim from James D. Johnson.

Mr. Johnson wa foimerly a legislative eorre-pondent, tut la now employed by tbe Central Bailroad. He is also associated with tbe Kepuhlksan B'at Committee. Mr. Johnson was request ed to give any facts In his pos-Sfersion.

and be sent word to Mr. Lament, through personal friend, tbat he knew nothtor about the altered oucurri.ua at tbe Executive Man-poo, ana tbat he was not responsible for tbe cir- suiatioa 01 any naHnnmia receding us uov. amor' private Hie. To tbe Hon. Erastus Corning Trustee Palmer expressed his regrets In writing tnat he aaonld bave been tbe medium of making public any such scandalous statements.

A prominent Brooklyn srentleman wrote 'to this city saying that an acquaintance had been Informed by a well-known leather merchant of New. York, that he in turn had been told by an Albany oustomer, tbat No. Second-street was a resort with which tb Governor was xoeed-ingly well acquainted. Tb lot on which So. tT would be located.

BT THE CITIZENS' COMMI 1TEK. WHEELER H. PKCkHAM. Chairman. The Citizens Committee has not confined itself, however, to the iasuanee of circulars, but has entered on a vigorous canvass to secure Mr.

Grace's election. A system of registration ha been started at the office ol tb committee. No. Ja Broadway, for the enrollment of volunteers for active work In the vanous Assembly District and a large number of young men bas already been enrollled. That an extraordinary popular Interest is taken in tbe canvas is evidenced by tbe fact tnat tbe headquarters of the committee is dally crowded with visitors of all classes and conditions.

The organization of the majority of tbe Assembly districts has already been undertaken by tbe comraittee.and it member feel a great deal of gratification over tbe progress of tbe canvass. A prominent member of tbe committee said last evening: Many persons, both Kepuhl loans and Tammany men. from whom little aid was expected, bave, even at this early stage of the canvass, announced their Intention to vote for Mr. Grace and do everything in their power to secure hi election. In many districts Mr.

Grace to making a very aeriou break in tbe Tammany ranks in consequence cb lefly of the dissatisfaction of the supporters of Gov. Cleveland at the deal that has been made between Tammany and tbe John J. G'Brien Republicans. In a number of district also tbe independent Republicans are effecting organizations of thetrown to support Gov. Cleveland and Mr.

Grace. Wear trying to make as economical a canvass a possible, but, of course, money Is needed, and an anneal to the aenerai public for funds has been prepared for publication to-morrow mornlna. Tbe chief difficulty in th way of our obtaining funds is tbe very large demands msdeon tbe people by tbe two national committees, but still we look for a liberal response from all citizens interested in securing good local government. Tbe thoroughness of the organizations of the County Democracy, Irving Hall, and the Independent Germans, in addition to tbat being made by tbe Cit liens' Committee, with the disorganization of tbe Republican machine, bas already put Mr. Grace at the bead of tbe canvass for Mayor, and among politician of all classes, excepting only a few of the district leader of Tammany Hall, hla election is regarded as assured.

Concerning tbe betting on tbe result, I will tell you one little incident. A prominent city official and Tammany man offered to bet $1,000 airainst $750 tbat Mr. Grant would be elected Mayor. One of Mr. Grace's supporters bearing of tb offer Immediately sent word to tb Tammany man tbat he would take tbe bet five time over, hut nothing further has been beard from the Tammany brave.

AN EXCITLXO SCULLING MATCH. TEXXEB. AND GAKDATJR BOW THBEE MILES AD CBOSS TBE LIKE ON ETEIT TERMS. Bt. Louis, Oct 28.

The aingle-acull race between Teemer and Gandaur for $500 a side, three miles, with turn, Teemer to give Gandaur five seconds start, was rowed at Creve Cceur Lake, near this city, this sftemoon. Bain fell steadily during- the day and until bait an hour prior to the race. Th attendance was small. Thestsrtwas made at 4:30 P. Gandaur retting away with 37 strong strokes and waa ieadinic about two and a half leturtb when Teemer started, five seconds later.

Gandaur maintained this lead about a mile, when Teemer spurted and ruined one length. Gandaur turned first, one length and a half in advance. Teemer spurted again after turning and caught bis antagonist in a quarter of a mile, and in tbe next quarter gained a lead of a clear Gandaur then spurted and drew up level witb Teemer, and from this point, about half a mile from home, tbe struggle was persistent and desperate. Each was evidently doing his very best. Keitber one apparently oould get away from the other or gain a lead of even a foot, and tbe finish was so close tbst Beferee Thomas J.

Galiigber decided tbat neither had won and that the race must be rowed over. Teemer and Eph Morris claim I the race by two feet, while Parker, the Judge at tbe finish for Gandaur. claimed tbat the latter was one foot and a half in advance. The referee, however, whose boat was a little in the rear of the rowers when they crossed tbe line, decided as above, and gave tbe trteoda of tbe scullers the privilege of naming a day for the next trial. No official timekeepers were appointed, but a gentleman on tbe referee' boat timed the men and give Teemer time aa THE WEATHER INDICATIONS, Washtwotoit.

SOME CUBIOCS IHCTDEXTS Df THE HISTOST OP THE PEOPLE'S PARTY.

Various theories are afloat explanatory of the abandonment of New-Tors by Gen. Butler. One I thai a Mr. Blaine himself intended to travel; through th southern tier It waa considered unwise by the Blaine managers to send another candidate on the cam ticket over tb same ground. Another la tbat the Blaine people themselves have abandoned New-York to Cleveland, and that it would be a waste of money to spend any more on Butler, preferring to use It in Massachusetts, about which they teel some alarm on account of tbe extraordinary development of tbe nureunm" movement.

A third theory is that the Blaine people are really short of funds, and. Instead of spending any more on Butler, they will husband it for the purchase of votes in tbe Urge cities in the doubtful Butes, for the purchase of bulldog pistols and clubs for Deputy Marshals, and lor the payment of the deputies themselves. when tbe People's Party moved ft headquarter from tbe Fifth-Avenue Hotel to Union-square. John Williams, of No. 50 East Thirteenth-street, was called in to ao some carpentering on a Sunday, so tbat the committee might not be delayed in tt business.

He was told by William A. Fowler tbat tbe work must tie done on tbat day, regard less of expense. Mr. Williams put his men at work, finished the Job, and put in a biU tor SflO. He was told to Increase it to $100.

He did so. and a few days afterward was handed the amount of his original bill, $60, in cash. Mr. Williams was afterward employed by the committee and promptly paid, but always In checks on the Bank of tbe Metropolis, close to the Butler headquarters. A Times reporter was informed yesterday that on one occasion when the carpenter presented his bill for payment the Treasurer of the committee said: "Well, this check book looks as tbouarb an elephant had stepped on it.

Let tbe bill go till to-morrow. Mr. Williams said tbat the Treasurer did not say specifically that he should go to the Republican headquarters, but he (Mr. Williams always understood that tbe money he was paid witb came from there. They paid out a great deal of money in tbe be said.

and never seemed to be at a loss here to go for more wben funds were short. I have been around tbe rooms a great deal, and I saw very few working-men come there. I did see Republicans and Tammany Democrats there, tbous-b. It was as hard to get into Mr. Fowler's private office, where all conferences were carried on.

as it waa to get a peep behind the veil in tbe temple at Jerusalem. ANOTHER DENIAL BY BUTLER. HI BATS HE DID HOT TRADE WITH CHANDLER ON TBJC TALLAPOOSA. Boston, Oct. 28.

Gen. Butler bas addressed a letter to B. Aboott, of North Brook-Held, in answer to a request to explain charges that he (Butler) bad made a trade with Secretary Chandler in the interest of Blaine. Gen. Butler says "The story of ray meeting Mr.

Chandler on tbe Tallapoosa is a very plain one. Lieut. Greelr, wbo wss an old friend and constituent of mine, and one whom I tried to assist wben in Congress to carry out his ideas of tbe north pole expedition, hsd returned home from that perilous and important voyage and was to be received by the citizens in my native State of New-Hampshire. Mr. Chandler invited sereral gentlemen of prominence to go to Portsmouth to do honor to Greely and his brave associates.

I went. The first man I met was the Hon. Samuel J. Randall, witb whom 1 was many years in Congress, and I wenton board tbe Tallapoosa with bim, and there met Mr. Chandler and other gentlemen of distinction.

I spent my time especially in Mr.Randall' company. and was more with bim than any other gentleman on board. We were engaged a part of tbe time in talking politics, be assuring me that ne had made up bis mind to support Cleveland, as he has done, and advising me very strongly to do tbe same. Much as I regretted to part with htm. 1 told him I could not, for reasons 1 have since made very public At my request, the Tallapoosa ran from Portsmouth over to Cape Ann, where is my seashore home.

On my arounds, the survivors of tbe Thirty-first Massachusetts Regiment were holding a reunion under the auspice of Col. Jonas H. French, their old commander, and late President of the Democratic State Convention. Mr. Chandler and myself made speeches to the soldiers.

Mr. Chandler went back to Portsmouth on board the Tallapoosa. Mr.Randall went to my bouse and staid with me over night, I took him down to Gloucester, showing him the method by which tbe Gloucester fisheries were conducted, and then to Boston, where we parted, he going to his home and i to mine. 1 made no bargain with Chandler on board tbe Tallapoosa about anything. I certainly did not make bar- Eiin with Mr.

Blaine, because he was not there, r. Chandler had not een Mr. Blaine since the nomination, as I understood certainly not since tbe nomination of Cleveland. ts only your absolute good faith and kindness that draws me to give this narrative." BLAINE'S EASTWARD JOURNEY. Cleveland, Oct.

20. Blaine and bis party reached Cleveland to-day, but only remained 10 minutes. It was their intention to remain several hours and visit Mrs. Garfield and in tbe afternoon to visit Garfield's tomb, but Blaine was feeling so ill tbat tbe project was dropped and tbe train pulled out. The paity will pass over the New-York, Pennsylvania and Ohio and Erie Railways.

He is tbe guest of ex-Gov. Fen ton. To-morrow forenoon he will have a public reception, and at noon will leave by a special train on the Erie Road for New-York, making short stops by the way and pending Monday nurht at Elmira. NOMINATED FOR THE ASSEMBLY. Port Jebvis, N.

Plymouth Church was crowded yesterday to tbe doors wben tbe Rev. Henry Ward Beecber began his Sunday morning sermon. In the course of his remarks -he alluded to revivalists and their work. I bave beard, he said, men wbo pray with all tbelr lunar power for religion, and tbat God would come down immediately to tbem, and. entirely unmindful of damage done, fit tbem out with a new suit of religion.

Tbese people, it seems to me, must imagine that God is something like an extensive clotnier, with a large stock ot assorted suit on hand, and tbat he could at pleasure give a well-fitting coat to this one, a pair of trousers to tbat one. and so on, fit out all wbo asked bim." Mr. Beecber also spoke of the man wbo never had had, any respect for religion, wbo had no desire tC be a Christian, and who suddenly, tor some unexplained reason, wanU to reform. -The continued. wbo all bis life hsd been living an ungodly One, and wbo suddenly turns 'over a new Is in reality still the same old man, except that bis faculties work a little more harmoniously.

An ungodly man must be a thoroughly disorganized one a sort of Butlerized disorganised disoraranixation must pervade hi whole KILLED WITB AN OYSTER KNIFE. Coroner Kennedy was requested yesterday to Investigate the case of Thomas Roach, an Irishman, wbo died on Saturday night at the Homeopathic Hospital, on Ward's Island, from acute mania, tbe result of a deep out over tbe right eye.

On the nigbt Roach was injured be became engaged in an altercation with an unknown Italian, wbo had some oyster and refused to pay for tbem. Tbe Italian picked up the oyster knife and struck Roach over tbe risrbt eye with it, causing tbe Injury which resu.ted in death.

Tbe Italian escaped and la still at lanre. Tbe remains of Roach will be taken to tbe Morgua, and Dr Conway will make an autopsy. TEE LIABILITIES OF FREEMAN A CO. Boston, Oct 28.

BLAETE'S FOLLOWERS. When the independent movement started a good many Republicans at Fluebinx enlisted tt. Ko attempt was made to organise, however, until the Uunta or the machine followers pro-mked some, ot the independent to caO their friend together to be counted. More than 100 old-time Republicans at once enrolled themselves on tbe Independent list, and ar least a many more promised co-operation at tbe poll, although preferring not tt, figure actively In tbe organization. Dr.

B. 8. Bacon, who became Chairman of the committee, had for several years been President of tbe Republican Club of Hushing, and all the Breeders were not only stanch Republicans formerly, but wiU remain sucb in local and other contest unless drive off by discreditable nominations. The machine men bave lately been demanding of tbe Independents that tbey state their objections to Blaine and Logan. This demand has been met in an address which leaves nothing further to be said, and which cannot fad to stiffen such sentiment for revolt as may yet waver in Flushing.

It will be further emphasised at a meeting on Friday evening next, at which Col. Higgmson will speak. Tbe address isauitelong. ltjuntir.es itself st the outset by saying that wben tbe local movement started the objections to Mr. Blaine bad been so thoroughly discussed in the press as to mske their recital, for purposes of organization, quite su- EsrCuou; yet as demands, amounting to a chal-nge, bad been made that tbe objections be stated, the committee bas no hesitetion in doing so, Tbe address then says tbat Blaine nomination was first proposed by tbe least reputable elements of the party, snd was secured by bargain for second place on the ticket, thus proving that he waa not tne honest flret choice of a majority of tbe delegate.

Tbe second objection is tbat throughout bis career, as now, Blaine bas been associated with men whose only interest in public affairs rested on bopes of public plunder. He never originated an important party measure, nor is his name connected with one involving public economy or administrative reform, while bis contributions to political thought would excite ridicule if made by a private individual, hut should arouse grave distrust in a candidate for hurh public office. After allusion to some of tbese eccentricities the address says: "We object to Mr. Blatne a politician, because be bas not tne counure of his oonvlctinns nor tbe manllnees to aoknovledaa his private transaction A FrohtDlUon-wt in Maine, be withhold hla vote from the cause to conciliate tbe Honor Interests ot Ohio: an apostle of liberty and equality at the East, be favors the restriction of Immigration upon the Pacific eoast tn direct violation of a national treaty; a capitalist In New-York, investtns ta a lsaittmate baslnena enterprise, be repudiates the relation lest he should Incur the odium of monopoly and lose votes In the Hocking Valley. We object lo Mr.

Blatne a Candida's, because bis private transactions while ta office, as developed in hi own correspondence, throw grave Kusptnon upon his official fntesTlty. And we see ne escape from the conclusion that he ha revmed, in bl own defence, to nrevarlca-tlon, suppression, and concealment, while pro-fesstns tbe utmost candor. These are not slander. for tbe facta are all admitted. If the Republican Party stood for any vital political principle In this cam pa urn we should vote the ticket, desntte onr objections to the eandldnte.

Bat we find no snob tssu. Tbe only ones sustgeated are the tariff aneotioB and tbe 'solid Upon the tariff onestlon we have to say that the cbrre that we are freetraders In dissrutse and are engaged in a conspiracy acalnst domestic industry is qnue unfounded In fact, and ta tally answered by tbe remnrk that the tariff Is purely a legislative question, and that we propose to vote tbe Republican Congressional ticket, unless the party managers follow tbe example of lbs National Convention and nominate an unworthy man. The "solid Ponth' no lonoer alarms n. We otiee that, as a political Issue, it is enttrelr dormant, except for a short period preceding each national election, wben tt la used a a convenient substitute for argument. Ws remember, too, that no man at tbe North ha bad more to do witb keeping tbe onth solid than Mr.

Blaine himself, and we And tn this An an additional objection to his candidacy. If. on the other band. It bs true, as claimed, tbat Mr. Blaine ts going to carry two or three Southern htates, tbe solidity of tbe South will vanish, and the argument with tt." THE KIND OF PRESIDENT NEEDED.

MB, EATON'S DESCRIPTION DOES NOT FIT MR. BLAINE. In talking about tbe kind of a party and President the country needs in the Church of tbe Divine Paternity last night, the Kev. Charles H. Eaton soid that tbe acknowledged leader of a party should, and usually does, represent its principles and its policy.

He bad heard of wire pulling and caucus packing and slate making, but nevertheless be believed tbat a candidate represented the ideas of the convention which nominated him. In Mr. Baton's opinion the country has had enough of dark horses in the past 26 years. He could not aee why prominent men in a party men of ability, integrity, and honor should be pushed aside snd second or third rate men be put in a position for which they were unfitted. The country does not need enthusiastic men or magnetic men.

but men of conscience, men of sense, men of fait and character, no matter of what name, party, or social position. The ablest and best men in a party should be chosen to represent it. Tbe President is not merely an executive officer. He has a large influence in deciding the plans and policy of the Government and In shaping tbe business affairs of the country. Mr.

Eaton argued that theoretically there are only two parties to every Government, the conservatives, representing the law, and the radicals, representing liberty. It was not likely, he thought, tbat this would ever materially cbange. Tbe country needs a party of definite policy, definite aims, and abiding principles. If no existing party possessed tbem, Mr. Eaton would make a new one that did.

It should have definite Issue on tbe arreat question of morality and religion: It should have the support and direction of God-fearing men of tbe largest order of Intel licence and work. Mr. Eaton thought that notwitbstendlng changes of men and leaders, tbe future policy ol a party oould be judited by what it had done in the past. If through long continuance in power a party had grown corrupt within itself. Christian men should have no hesitancy in sweeping it away.

A candidate for President of tbe United States, Mr. Eaton said in conclusion, should be a man in favor of universal suffrage and in full sympathy with tbe people. Next Sunday mornint- there will be a memorial service in tbe cnurcb for tbe dead who have passed away from it during the last year. In the evening the Pastor will begin a series of sermons to young people, bearing on marriage, the keeping of vows and oaths, and tbe home.
