HEN- The inclement -weather of last night did not prevent s large turn-out of the 'unterrified." a large representation of the supporters of the Democracy as sembling at the hall of the Cleveland and Hendricks club. The hall was crowded with adherents of the Demo cratic party. Alter the transaction of routine business, including the accepting a formal offer of the use of the Blaine aud Logan club's torches for the club's I next parade, tho president introduced D, Hart, who addressed the assemblage, and arraigned the Republican candidate as op ponents to labor and honest government. His allusions to Republican protection were received with shouts of applpuse and laughter. He severely scored Blaine's know-nothing record and recommended to foreign-born citizens the defeat of the Republican candidate! Name by name office by office, he reviewed the records of Republican public officials, bringing them forth as personifications of corrup tion and dishonesty, holding the prent Republican candidates responsible for late Republican recalcitrant officials. He associated the names of Dorscy and other participants in the star route swindles with Blaine and Logan. The senl:er re fused to interfere with personal scandal connected with Blaine, though depre cating the actions and motives of Repub licans in trying to fasten on Cleveland scandals affecting hisperson.nl character. He charged the Republican party with being hand and glove with the monopolists or Tnn corxnn. declaring that corporations v.?n the strong supporters of the Republican par ty; and called on the Democrats to sup port each other insupprewing the monop olists. The spunkcr (Ifsl.itvd that the Ohio election, seventy-two hours hence, was the keynoto of snece.-; or defeat, holding that no corruptive method was too low for the Republican party to se cure the majority of Ohio's suffrages. He then paid tribute to both Cleveland and Hendricks, defined the principles of Democracy as opposed to oppression and monopoly, and closed amid applause. Dr. T. T. Cabauiss was next called, and after calling the chair's attention 10 the undemocratic nature of pare w.iUt as a Democratic drink, ho paid a compliment to the preceding speceh. Dr (' ib mis-5 severe! v scored; tho recent speech made by J. F. Watson before tho Blaine and Logan club. Mr. Blaine's railroad rec ord, he declared, was rotten to the- core. Armed with documents, he quoted the connection of Washington with monopo lies as compared with Blaine'.; actions in that respect. He reviewed Mr. Watson's speech stepjjy step and severely crit icised it. Blaine's policy in con nection with Irish 'suspects was also heartily condemned. The Re publicans claim to a policy of protection to American citizens abroad, tbe speaker declared, as Jiollow and rot ten, humorously reviewing the Repub lican fclaiin. Referring to official reports and statistics, tho doctor recommended the opposition of the Democracy to the further improvement of our rotten navy, and went after the Republicans for the prodigal expenditure of public money for the present navy. Going back to one hundred years ago, the speaker endeavor ed to prove tho inconsistency of Repub licans in their claim to tho protection of slaves, citing official records in support of his statement. He claimed that Blaine had never introduced a bill for tho benefit of the country at large, irre spective of party or religious Unas. He finished with a brilliant eulogy on the Democratic party, and was followed by Thomas Dealy, who declared that he ex pected to get what protection he might want from the Democratic party. In a short speech Mr. Dealy defined Ins polit ical position, particularly on the question of protection of CITIZEN'S ABROAD. And was followed by A. A. Cleveland, who made a humorous and heartily-ap plauded speech on the issues of tho day The chair announced that couservath o eastern papers, Independent and other wise, conceded Ohio to the Democracy, and promised to leave such papers in the club rooms for the benefit of members. Mr. Trenchard claimed that if Ohio was carried by 10,030 Republican ma jority, it would be a defeat to Republi cans. After giving three cheers for tho Democratic nominees tho meeting ad journed to meet next Friday evening. Women VTlio arc Entilk'J. to Vote and Hold Ofllcc In Washington Terrllorj.

MEETING OF THE CLEVELAND AND PRICKS CLrii LVST EVENING. A NUT FOG TOE N. l It. C. TO CRACK. i Atorii Not Alone la Her Complaint of Injustice. The Astokian is neither sorry nor sur prised to loam from tho Oregonian that there is strong probability thai a largo share of the heaviest shippers in Port land will sign contracts with the Union Pacific, the Short Line and the 0. 15. & before tho end of this year, nnd will cenfaC to ship from tho east by the North ern Paciflc. "This statement will bo rc- coived by the people of the northwest An... i- ...241. ... In 1...4 4lin alrn lltflVA mentioned is contingent on only ono thing, viz: that the Northern Pacific continues its present attitude toward Portland. It is an open secret that near ly all wholesale merchants have been dis satisfied with the policy of the Northern Pacific ever since tho change of manacc nieul at the beginning of this year. -Yet they were not inclined to be vigorous in protests, because they felt that the new officers were probably not well informed as to the details of tho traffic. Griev ances wero presented to the management through traffic officers, and then there was p.itient wailing to have them adjust ed. But no attention was paid to the complaints, and subsequent action by tho company showed that they did not choose to advance Portland's mercantile interests, if indeed they did not intend to injure it." So long as the Northern Pacific was master of the situation, grievances were nursed, and no one was anxious to an- swer rer the apparent question by the rail ad, "What are you going to do about road i,i The merchants will be prepared to answer by the 31st of December next, by which time tho present contracts with the Northern Pacific will have expired. By that time the Oregon Short Line and the Baker City branch will have completed their junction, and trains will probably be running smoothly between Portland and Omaha. The short sighted policy shown by the N. P. folks in discriminating against this part of the northwest could have no other effect. Here, in Astoria, the fact of our superior position renders us more independent. Onr merchants started a year ago to do business with eastern "houses, but the N. P. freight bills soon put a stop to the new traffic It is bad enough to pay the present freight charge from San Francisco, but it is ruinous, or would be wcro wo unfortunately com pelled, to pay the rates imposed by the managers of'tho N. P. It. It. Astoria has been virtually shut ont from the healthy competition that usually ensues upon the completion of a great line of traffic, nnd uotuing but her unrivaled situation has aaved her from extortion. As it is, Astorians are denied the privilege of pur chasing in open eastern mnrket, and are compelled to patronize San Francisco. The OrCjOixian interviewed sever U business men in Portland last Friday. They nearly all talked alike; they were tired of being squeezed. Said a man who has done business for twenty-two years and is noted for freedom of expression in public matters: "The Northern Pacific has made a d d fool of itself, as usual. It can't sec an inch before its face. Just because it wanted to secure tho trade of three or four towns and deprive the O. R. A N. of a part of the heul it has an tagonized the most important city west of Minneapolis that it roaches. There are twenty-five or thirty houses in Port land either of which ships more goods than all the towns between Wnllnla junc tion and Missoula combined, and yet the company is so stupid that it can't com prehend that it is breaking its neck as a transcontinental line bv this short sighted, miserly policy. Those fellows in New York have evident ly been asleep and haven't heard that the Oregon Short Line will be to Portland in a few days. They don't seem to know that somebody else has a railroad across tho country to Ore gon. It makes mo indignant to talk about it. and I havo jnst this to say: Un less we get from tho Northern Pacific the most favorable consideration, every min in tho street will get his goods over the Union Pacific. Mark that. In a month we won't need the Northern Pacific any more than we need the Southern Pacific. Let them build their Cascades branch and load themselves up with another heavy debt, and operate their expensive road" to where? I don't care where they run it, they won't get as much business in a mouth as Portland gives them in a week. It is astonishing that a company is so void of the simplest business sense, as to drive awaj tho trade of the princi pal terminus, nnd get in return the trade of half a dozen small towns which thev already had. It would be like a manu facturing or inipoffing house in New York sacrificing tho trade of four or five jobbers in Front street to secure a retailer in Albina. They will see their error bo fore long and will yet beg Portland trade." Toothache is killed by the great Conqueror ot Pain'St Jacobs Oil. .Situation Wanted.

Chief Justice Greene ha3 rendered tho following, which is an extract from his decision, in the case of the ill-used crew V3. tho ship Challenger. Summarily stated, tho salient facts in this caso are these: Tho ship Challenger arrived in Puget Sound after a fivo months' voyage from Philadelphia. At the time of her arrival almost every one of her crew, from the third mate to cabin boys inclusive, "were in a sick, bruised and crippled condition, attributed by them to maltreatment by the first and second mates. Threo of the crew showed recent fractures of the arm, one other n still un healed fracture of tho jaw, of all of which fractures the officers ono and all professed utter ignorance In tho course of tho voyage there was a death-inviting at tempt to escape from tho ship by one sailor, an unsuccessful attempt to com mit suicide by another, and what I am constrained to believe was a successful suicide by a third. Both mates were in dicted and convicted for criminal abuse of the seamen. These are tho main thoroughly estab lished facts, and they harmonize well with the personal narrative of each sea man as to the particular treatment which he himself nnd others received. Re spondent's testimony completely fails, in my judgement, to meet and falsify tho testimony of the libellants. I can but conclude that the master was culpably negligent in not looking after the disci- Slino of the ship more carefully than he id, arid not controlling his "mates in their treatment of the men. His negligence, in my opinion, has oc casioned tho personal injuries for which libellants are seeldng redress. I find that tho libellants are respectively entitled to recover the amounts following, that is to say: Sera ghi Warrow, for injuries to tho person, $1,500, for wages, $37.50; Robert Oland er, for personal injuries, $500, for wages, $29.2G; August Anderson, for personal in juries, $G00, for wi'ges, $23.21; Frank C. Schaeffcr, personal injuries, $500, Thos. Ross, for personal injuries, $1,000, for wages, $24.2J; P. L. Danielsou, for per sonal injuries, $500, for wages, $20.76; Joseph Francisco, for personal injuries, $500, for wages, $14.70; Matt Hanson, for personal injuries, $500, for wages, $13.51; Chas. Dahlgreen, for personal injuries, 1,000, for wages, $20; John B. Johnson, for personal injuries, $300, for wages, $23.26; Quaita Andrea, for personal in juries, $1100, for wages. 21.2G. All these sailors and their co-libellants sued iji forma juiuperb. Costs of the officers of the court, including proctor's fees, will therefore bo allowed against respondents in case of each libellant, notwithstanding respondents hnvo set tled with somo of tho libellants since suit was begun. The settlement in each instance appears to have been clandes tine, and without notice to tho libellnnt's proctor or any other officer of tho court interested. A decree will be entered to conform to this opinion. Scuttle. Post Intelligeneer. Free Transportation. His excellency, Governor Moody, is in receipt of the following telegram from tho head offise which speaks for itself in a matter that should be of peculiar in terest to every one interested in tho welfare of this northwest ceast: Sr. Paul, Oct. 3, L&1.
