I have not yet recovered from the stock of the accident, and cannot arrange the details in any Intelligible order; I only know that there was a terrible scramble for the rigging by some of the people on board, while others leaped ap the aides of the schooner, which still lay alongside us, tangled with our rigging.

i Albajtt, N. Oct 81. The Argus wfll pub- Uah to-morrow the following- Interview with ex President Cleveland on the political situation aent to it by lu New-York correspondent Of cpurse it is needless for me to express tbe deep Interest I feel in tbe elections now pending, though I bare sometimes feared that my repeat ed and enforced declination of Invitations to visit different looalUlee and address political; meetings might be construed as Indicating a.1 lack of sympathy with the fortunes of the ex-j cellent candidates In the Democratic field. I am sure that there never was a publio quest-on discussed more thoroughly and more intelligently than baa ben tbe subject of tariff; reform by Its Democratic advocatea This mayj perhaps suggest that If tbe Democratic position-on this issue ia tbe correct one, there should be-; immediate and ready acquleaoenoe on the part, of the people. But the Judgment of our coun-; try men baa been so trammeled, and their per-i eeptlons nave been so clouded by prejudice and; appsala to self-interest that their apprehension; of tbe true province of our Government has been distorted, and they bare for years been lodj to.

believe that, the conduct of publio affairs; mlghtproperly minister to their profit not byf securing general prosperity founded on princH pie, but by giving a direct advents ge to certain; classes. There caa be ao advance in tariff re form where these ideas prevail. It is certainly true that in such a selfish opl oration tbe Interests of some of tbe people must be neglected. Protest on the part of these has been stifled by tbe most arrant deception and cajolery. At last however, these neglected ones are aroused, and In spite ot the clouds of mle-repreeentation and Illusion which surround them, they begin to see tbe light Our agriculturists and others whose Interests bare beea disregarded, while advantages have been accorded to a favored few.

are not to be muoh longer deceived. They are discovering more and more clearly that Ue toll and uncomplaining labor which should have added to their own comfort and prosperity have beea diverted to the aggrandisement of others, wblle they have constantly grown poorer. They fail to see In the accumulation of vast fortunes, under auoh conditions, any compensation for their discouraging labor or for tbelr enforced and pinching economy. They will not always be silent bat will naturally and inevitably demand the Justice to all aad favor to none which our Institutions promise. I am confident that we shall secure a major-' ity in Ue next House of Representatives.

Our success may not be so sweeping and decisive as many of our sanguine friends anticipate, but lb will be safe and substantial. I cannot forget hew laboriously a reform moves which must break through selfish interests, strongly In-' trenched and unscrupulously asserted, and whlsh must overcome abuses long suffered and arrogantly maintained. I believe that all our galas must be the result of hard struggle against Ueee odds. It Is not howerer, possible that the complete triumph of the people's cause can be much longer delayed. The effective Inculcation of wholesome doctrine which characterizes Ue Democratic press; tbe Uorough discussion going on la every part of the country; Ue undlsgulsbed schemes of Ue Republican Party to secure its perpetuation In power through reckless enactments which stifle the results of the people's suffrage: its brutal meUods of laglslatloa, and, above all, tbe positive distress dally threatening our people's homes under the operation of a new ana Iniquitous tariff law a law which not only enhances the cost of Ue neosa-aries of life, but fosters the extortions of trusts aad combinationsmake certs in Ue advent ot a freer, better time and the ascendency of true Democracy.

Whatever the near result may be, I am not at all afraid Uat tbe teal of the party will flag or Uat discouragemeat will In the least damp Its ardor or lessen its aggressiveness. The Democratic Party la thoroughly united and has planted Itself on Democratic principle. It will not abandon Its sacred cause, but will continue Ue art are until It achieves complete success. The party that knsw no discouragement in 1888 will not waver or slter In 1890. THE COMMERCIAL GAZETTE" DEAL MB.

HALSTKAD'S PLAN FOB GETTING CONTROL OF THK BOARD, CiscnrxAiT, Ohio, Oct 31. The Commercial Gaietie change does not take place to-morrow as announced. Mr. Morebead, who was to have bad 8300,000 of Mr. Halstead's stock, explains ltlnUls wsy: It is understood that a clause in Ue Commercial Gastttt Company's constitution requires that any stockholder who desires to sell bis stock must first offer it to Ue Board ot Directors.

Mr. Halstead baa aot done this, and Ue board feels Uat 'as sworn officers of Ue corporation Uey ought to insist upon its being done. I do net know wheUer tha board would accept It or not" If It does, of course Merehead Is out It would appear thai Mr. Halstead's plea now Is to allow Ue deal to rest tn abeyance until another annual meeting of the stockholders of Ue Commercial iiattlit is held next April, when be caa put la bis ewa Beard, of Directors. A majority of the beard at present Insists upon the obserTance ef Ue by-law.

When Halstead sees Uat be cannot get control of Ue beard Ue plan will probably bf or him to oust those gentlemen at the anaualN election and secure a ooutrol in the beard Wanelf. so that It would bo certain that la case be offered his stock to It tbe board would not accept it I After that Ue deal could go through and Mr. Morebead eould be made manager, unless the minority stockboldsrs took Ue 'matter into court In this event thsre would be a pretty legal fight betweea the Ins and the outs. This internal Barrel in the Commercial Gmtctts cannot improve the value of Ue property. It Is aa epea secret Uat large blocks ot Commercial Oatette stack have beea hawked about Ue streets as collateral for big loans to individual owners.

i Bhould creditors call in Ue loaas. something might drop quite Suddenly la Commercial 0metu affairs. Mr. Richard bmlU says the Director have offered Halstead 75 cents on the dollar for 9100.000 of bis Stock, which Is exactly Mere-bead offer. That weald give them control.

Ther will be called to order on Ue flrst day by President Palmer, who will explain their duties and give them a start The most Important action at the flrst meeting will be Ua election ot permanent officers of tha board. Chairman Ryan of the Sub-Committee en Claselfleatioa baa sent proofs of Ue committees' -work to date to all Commissioner interested in classification, asking for suggestions on Ue plan. He will have Ue full report ready In time to present It to the National.

Commission at Ue meeting en Nor. 18. Director General Davis's suggestions regarding Ue establishment of bureaus have been adopted by the Directory, with certain provisions. The board resevvee the privilege of changing, modifying, or abolishing Ue bureaus or of discontinuing appropriations therefor when Ue interests of Ue corporation may require. It further specifies that Ue departments shall only be instituted when required end that account shall be kept separate from other expenditures of Ue National Commission, i The com pact that has been formed by tbe National Commission and Ue Directory regarding the confirmation of heads of bureaus requested by Director General Davis Is regarded as a final settlsmentof all questions concerning the authority and power of Ue two branches.

Appointments made by Gen. Davis are subject to the approval of the Executive Committee of each organization. As Ue Director General is an offloer ot ths National Commission and a member of Ue local Directory, he will naturally make such selections of officers aa will bo agreeable to both, Michigan Avenue property owners bare bad a conference with tbe Execative Committee ot tbe Directory, with Ue result Uat no buildings, elUer temporary or permaaenttwlll be erected on Ue lake front now existing between Jackson Btreet and Park Bow.

BIG FINANCIAL COLLAPSE.

NEW-TORJC STOCKHOLDERS THB VICTIMS OF GROSS MISMANAGEMENT. Detroit, Oct 31. Feb. 1 ot Ue present year Ue Anohor Manufacturing Company ot this city Issued 800 bonds ot 9500 each, amount ing to 9400,000. to Hugh H.

Edwards of New-Ysrk as Trustee for a large number of creditors in that city. The bonds were to become due in five years, and carried semi-annual Interest at 6 per cent They were secured by a second mortgage en eighty-five acres of land on the Blver Bouge, three miles below Detroit andjun Ue Immense oooperage plant situated thereon, the property of the company. A condition waa also Inserted Uat should any default be made la any of Ue payments or Interest for more Uan thirty days, or should the works stop running, tbs whols waa to become due, and 9500 was to be allowed for foreclosure expenses. Mr. Edwards to-day Hied a bill In the Circuit Court in which be relates that default baa been made for mors Uan thirty days, the.

business of the company is suspended, and loss to Ue property will ensue unless a recolverls appointed. He therefore asks that a receiver be appointed pending Ue foreclosure of tbe mortgage, and that the amount due be computed and execution Issued against the property of the company and all persons interested therein. The Broadway and Third National Banks of New-York, Warburu A Moen of Worcester, and Thomas MacKellar and William Kern of Detroit claim to bold a quantity of the company's paper, but Mr. Edwards says It was given after Ue mortgage was executed, and he asks that they be forever debsrred from executing any claim on the plant There Is a first mortgage of 9100,000 on the property, by means of which money was raised in New-York to aid in rebuilding the plant of the company, which was almost totally destroyed by fire three years ago. The result of Ue pending litigation will be to wipe out the capital stock, which amounts to 500,000 and is largely held In New-York.

This complete collapse of tne finest cooperage estaD-llshment In the 1 United States Is due to gross mismanagement, to call it by no worse name, and this In turn was made possible by Ue astonishing fatuity ef New-York stockholders who allowed the President of Ue company, one Hugo Matullath, to run Uings as he pleased and to vote their proxies at annual meetings. The failure ot Sanger dt Wells of WaU Street a year ago was due to advances of money aad credit made to this company, and a large number of other business men of New-York are bitten to a greateror leas amount The buildings of the company are of brisk, very extensive, and stocked wlU Ue most complete machinery for turning out hoops, heading, and stavea The latter were what Is known as tbe "single sheet," and were produced by machines oa which Matullath bold patents.

AsniVAi ISia AfVVft JAMES C. CASTER, FRANCIS Iti SCOTT THB BBV. DR. NEWTON, ABBf 0THER3-Franeis M. Scott stood oa tbe crowded platform ta Lenox Lyceum last alght aad amid a tempest of applause surveyed an assemblage such ae Is seldom brought together In this city by political Issues.

It was a magnificent as-eemblage in sixe. in Intelligence, to earaeslaesa, and in enthusiasm. The amphttbeatrej we crowded and Ue antt-Taaunany sentiment of, the meeting waa exsres-ed ta no uncertain war. It was a glorious ratldcatlon br tha Pmnla'a Municipal League ot the eltyi ticket that fla all pro-ability will be elected next Tuesday. 1 A large number of weU-knewn eiitxeas! both Republicans and Democrats, occupied scats oa Ue platform.

Gen. John Newton, SU Low, erne M. Varnum. and J. Seaver Page appeared 1 upon tbe platform together aad ware warmly greeted.

Gen. Newton was naked to preside. Ia opening the meeting. Gen, Bewtoa said that tn a few, days the result would be known, whether Ue good people of New-York; bad sue- eeeded ia Uro wing off Ue yoke ot tyranny Uat Tammany bad held on Uelr necks for sol long, He was happy to say Uat tha prospects of cue cess were very good. It waa a significant featr are of this campaign that Ue Tanuaany leaden bad made scarcely any pretense of defending Mayor Grant's admlaistratioa.

They had chosen rather to discuss national politics, whicb bora bo relation whatever to Ue present Issues at I stake. Gen. Newton said that Uo business of this city bad too long been conducted in 4 bam- drum aad routine manner. II waa not sarprls- lag. therefore, Uat Ue city has fallen Into the i oonuiuon taac ii is bow.

There should be a higher standard of merit applied In Ue select-on af m.n t. Ar. l. a v. ui, vi wv aua aii.miaiBrr Mia various departments.

Mr. Var-' num was glad to bo able to Indorse Francis M.

Scott cordially. it would be a disgrace and si. shame for any New-York Republican to vote against a man Like Mr. Scott under existing cir- vu-uv-auuwev 1 Vigorous applause greeted. James C.

Carter as Uat dlstlngulehed lawyer eTVanoed to the front of the platform to speak. Mr. Carter said that be happened to belong to that unfortunate class of men who, durlar recent years, had not been: able to find a political platform upon which be could safely stand. But he had now found a platform Uat satisfied him. It wa the platform of municipal reform upon which Francis M.

Scott JCbeer. For twenty-live, years Ue speaker had refused to cast a vote tor any partisan municipal ticket He had waited patiently for Ue uprising -of Ue people In a great movement for Ue puriheaUon of Ue city administration, and he believed that Ue time had now oome. Of the ouceesa of Ui movement he bad little doubt The Issue was simply wheUer Ue people of' this city were going to permit Tammany Hall to ountiuuo in eoniroi or ue Municipal Govern-' meat or whether Uey would put in charge of the city's affairs oitloers of upright character' and of ability, selected, a the anti-Tammany ticket bad been, indiscriminately from Ue great body ot Ue people. No question ot politics should be allowed to intrude in our municipal, i sleotlons. The Muniolpal Government was a i great business Institution, and it waa ot Ue t.

utmost Importance to the people that Ua various department of this great business In- stltntlon snould be sdminlstered In an honest -and business-like wsy. We should have for Mayor a man of the high-; est possible qualifications; a maa wnb had stud- i led Ue great problems of municipal admlnlstra- Uons, aad one who bad Ue ability, the Integrity, and courage to perform Ue duties of the emee. The power placed in Ue hands of the I Mayor of New-York was tremendous. It waa greater Uan that ef the Presidsnt of the United States In many respects, and far greater thaa Ua power wielded by maay of Ue sovarelirna i of the Old World. Mr.

Carter waa oertaLe that Tammany Hall was not Ue place to look for a proper man to fill Ue Mayers chair. In looking over a llt of the leader of Tarn- I many Hall tbe speaker aald be tound crimlnala J-ef every degree aad liquor sellers.
