It the peo alwish of the family that tbe funeral service shall he at private as possible. The funeral vjill be a personal and not a public one. As far aa the official petition ot jthe President will possibly permit, the services will be the same as those customary in the case of a member of a private family.

Invitations will, be strictly limited in number, and no person will be allowed to be present without them. The body will not lie in state. The funeral services will be held in the Fast" Room. This is the larresl room In the building, and, in fact, the only one at all adapted to the. holding of services, even as private as thote which the family desire.

They will be conducted according to the Treslivterian forms by-the Iter. Dr. Tennis Hsmllo, pastor of Church of the Covenant, of which the President and Mrs. Harrison bar been regular attendants. At the request of Dr.

Hamlin, the Iter. Dr. Harriett, of the New York-avenue Presbvterlea chnrch, will assist in the serves "at the White House. Dr. Bsrtlett was pastor of the Second Presbyterian chuwh, Indianapolis, previous to coming to Washington, and a neighbor of the President's family.

Tu choir will be, present at the services and repeat the hymn. Though, i already noted, it is the President's wish that.

there shall be no publio or ofncial dis- rlar in cenneetiou with the death of Mrs. larrjson, and that the funeral services, both here and in Indianapolis, will be a eiuiple as the rites ot the Presbyterian churob will permit, there are certain cere-; tuontal observancee inseparable from the ayent VDKRB WKS.

New York, October 2S. The Tammany Democracy -ratified th nomination of Cleveland and Sterensoa by a big meeting last night, The ball was not large enough to hold the crowd, and twelve overflow meetings were held in tb immediate vicinity. There was a large attendance of distinguished Democrats, and speeches by Senator Hill. Governor Flower, Lieutenant-Governor Sheehan, Gen. Daniel E.

Sickles, Congressman Cnmmings and others. Senator Hill discussed tha tariff at length. Of the force bill he said The most important Issue involved ia this election is- that presented by the proposed Republican federal election bill, 'Otherwise known as the -Davenport lorcc bul." It Republican success should ensue as the result of the pendintr election that measure would become a reality with all its dire and unort-nnate consequences. Unwise haancial, industrial or tariff legislation can easily be re pealed it proves but political legislation fastened upon tae country to secure an undisguised partisan advantage will not be readily surrendered, although its injustice may be fully demonstrated. Tbe saiest course by every means in our power to prevent its original enactment rather than trust to the generosity ot our opponents after it once shall have been xastened npoa the country.

Our opponents do not discuss very much this issue, but seek to ignore it. President Harrison, in bis lettero: acceptance, take a' more conservative view than had been expected, and' endeavors to draw public attention away from its consideration by tbe mild suggestion ot a non-partisan commission to revise the Federal election laws. Mr. Blaine, the shrewdest oi all the Republican leaders, in a recently published letter, substantially advised the. abandonment or ignoring of the force bill But the vice-presidential candidate, Mr.Whitelaw.Reid, in his very able and' aggressive letter of acceptance, impetuously rushes in where men bad feared to tread, and vigorously defends, in effect, the aubstance.

spirit and purpose of the uaveu port bill, ibis course does credit to his consistency, although it roar be a reflection upon his good judgment. This issue aione necessarily makes the South solid lor tbe Democratic party. Concluding, he said: Tb cause is worthy tbe support of every pstriot who loves bis country and desires to see its- fre institutions perpetuated and maintained, the reiorms which we deem are necessary torlhe aatety and prosperity or the Republic We re-adopt the expressive language of tbe national Democratic platform of 1876, ander which Samuel J. Tilden was elected to the presidency. Reform can only be had by a peaceful civic revolution.

We demand a chapge or syjstem. a change of administration, a change oi parties, that we may have a change of measures aud of men. Chssnrsy iliac k'aAppeal tor Money. WaSHIN-gtox, October 26. A final ap- il to th Democratic clubs ia the United States has been sent out from national headquarters of the clubs in this city.

It is signed by Chauocey F. Black, president of tbe National Association of Democratic Club and reads as follows: In a few days the verdict of the ballot-box will determine whether the people can elect a President of tbe.r choice or whether the colossal contributions of the corrupt monopolies and trusts can nullity free su if rage and buy another lease of power tor the Republican party. It is known that tbe enemies of the Democracy and tbe people haveloet all hope of.eiect-ing the candidate of tbe Minneapolis convention by appeals to resson and lair election methods; and have determined uoou the plan ot campaign which-contemplates the purcuase of the presidency. Their plan includea not only the' legitimate work of polling their party vote, but also of bribing electors to re- fraln trom registering and to stay away from i tbe polls, aud the expcnditure-or mlinons or dollars direct purchase of votes on election day. It ia to counteract this attempted debauchery of tbe suffrage that the National Democratic Committee appeals sow to patriotic citizens for aid.

Money is needed to get out the Democratic votes, to bave watchers at the polls to prevent frauds, and for taking such legitimate and proper steps as may be necessary to preserve tbe purity ot tbe ballot. Reiving upon the people alone, the National Association of Democratic Clubs, hav ing no -officeholders to assess, and no monopolies to bargain with, it therefore makes this appeal to every Democrat, no matter what his circumstances may be, to give the national committee such pecuniary aid as he can spare. No turn, however small, will be refused, bend what you can. and get your neighbor to remit also. Mr.

A special from Washington to the Times says: Mr. Wayne MaoVeagb came from Philadelphia yesterday to make an argument before tbe Supreme Court in a case in which be is counsel. He was asked if he intended to reply to Patrick Egsn's statement, which appeared this morning.

"1 do not," said Mr. MacVeagb, "it is too pitiable to merit any attention. I bave said all fhat I care to say to Egan." Mr. MacVeagb expressed the opinion that tbe apathy one hears so ruuch about in- connection with the campaign is only in appearance, and that the ueopie are taking a great interest in politics, particularly on the moral side. They are interested in improving the politicsl standards, both in men and methods, and are influenced by reason -and right rather than by au appeal to old partisan prejudices.

"When you. strike the-moral chord," be said, "it finds a very earnest response in public sentiment." lie discovers evidence ox this in tho nam- fjberless letters of thanks which bave com to him since his letter and his speech in Philadelphia. He has received such letters from all parts of the country from some of the most prominent persons io the country, and very many of tbe plain people, and in all is expressed-an appreciation of tb moral purpose discerned in- what he wrote and said.

"A part of the interview," Mr. Wanamaker continued, "related to politics, and Mr. Blaine will make up by bia pen what be can not do by speech, while he nurses a temporary affection of hit throat.
