Tlio meeting lioro on Monday ovon ing was without doubt tho Inrgcst and most enthusiastic political meet ing ovor hold in tins county. About I dark, tho firing of nnvils nnd ;the building of boii-firos along tho water front commenced, which wore kept up timing tlio evening; tlio crowd commenced to assemble early, small boats camo from Coos rivor and the tlifloroiil sloughs, whilo tho steamer Coos camo down from tho Isthmus, bringing ninny people fiom South port, Coos City, and Sumner.

Tho band was out in full force and Burpiisnod even tlicmsehcs in rendering numerous paliiotic aire, Mr. Watcon's spot'oh was nn nblo and conclusive nrgiimont in favor of ino JiopuDiican party. All Jus posi tions were amply supported by proof Though ho spoko two bonis or more, tho audience listened with tho closest attention to tho end. Tho speaker, though a young man, and of limited experience iu this lino of public speaking, makes a telling argument; his ideas aro clothed in appropriate and forciblo language, and his man ner is pleasing. Tho occasion was al together the most successful ofibit of either iirty iu the picsont cnmp.iign. Mv. rioca'M Hiceli. The green sngo of Itoscburg nd ilrosscd im audience comprising two sides of a hollow square in Norman's Hull last Saturday night. His lit tle story about Scott, Mnllory, Gibbs, mill ox-Attorncy-Gcncral Williams, would liavo parsed aa original had ho not given it as second-hand; but the chief part of his speech wns tho 3iuno piece that a young ex-Con-grcssinan spoko horo a few years ago on his return from Washington. It was about the Republican Con- gross demonetizing the "Dollar of our Daddies," becmi80 they wero not good enough for the "bloated bond-holder," thereby contracting our monoy. Jio iiut not directly ten tho number of Dad's Dollars that wero demonetized, only that they comprised forty per cent, of our cir culating medium. Hq sympathized with tho poor soldier who was com pelled to tnko worthless greenbacks which tho speculator could convert into gold-bearing, non-taxablo bonds, and tho great wrong in making our bonds not taxable, notwithstanding tho decision of tho Supremo Court by Chief Justice Mnrbhnll, that they could not bo taxed. Ho held his audionco wrapped with disgust nnd hhnmc for full thirty minutes with similar lidicu lous nonsense, and wound up witli something about the eaglo soaring proudly above Olympus and roost ing on the thunder-bolts of.Toe, and about tho balmy breezes wafty through the trcoscs. Tho following dispatch was received in Now York, whiih shows tho confi dence of llarfiold's neighbors iu him and tho Republican party: Mkn'toh, Ohio, Oct. 11.

To thoir honor bo it said a Democrat wns first to express his poisonal gratification at the vin dication, and every ono at tho table joined iu a cordial ntent. rvi (tjuittt so. So Hro. Wobstor fears tho rights of tho Chinaman will bo outraged, should bill 21 become a law. Its a pity, but I think tho Republicans failed to build tho wnll so high, but what tho people can leap it. Kuws. Not exactly Wo understand, as docs ovory ono olso, that S. II. No 21 was novor intended to bo passed, and was only introduced for political capi tal. It will havo no ofi'eot on any "iiHnn " I in ho Gliinamnii or othor- "v"i - -- wise. Tin: Democrats begin to realize that personal abuso of Garfield will not pnss as n substituto for an Jionorablo party iccoitl, and a worthy nntionnl policy thoy havo nlrcndy virtually lost tho tiny. Mas. Amur L. Il.vw.ou, whoisqnito woll known in this Stnto, is now con nected with a sonndnl-ous sensation nt Fond du L'ic. Tho scnndal has sopiiratcd tho Col 0. K Pier from his wifo, and will probably result In di-uirec Continued from first prtjjc. Tho goiltlomnn from Virginia, (Mr. Tuckor) is loo good a logician not to sco Hint the theory he advocates can only bo realized In u state of universal pcacd and brotherhood iimong the nations; for, in developing his plan ho says : "Commerce, Mr. Chnirmnii, links all mankind in ono common brother hood of mutual dependence and In terests, nnd thus creates that unity of our race which makes Iho resources of all tho property of each and every member. Wo cannot if wo would, and should not if we could, remain isolated nnd alone. Men uiidor tlio benign iiilluenco of Christianity yearn for intercourse, for tho interchange of thought and tiio products of thought ns a moans of n common progress to wards a nobler civilization. Mr. Charimnn 1 cannot boliovo this is accoiding (o tho Divino plan. Christianity bj'ds us seek, in commun ion with our brethren of every raco and plfmc, tlio blessings thoy can af ford us, and to bostow in return upon them those with which our new con tinent is destined to fill tho world." This, Iadmit,is,agiand conception, a beautiful vision of the timo when nil tho nations shall dwell iu peace; when all will be, as it wore, one nation, each furnishing to tho others what they cannot profitably produce, and all working harmoniously together in the millennium of peace. If all the kingdoms of tho world should become the kingdom of tlio Prince of Peace, then I admit that universal free trade should prevail. Hut thnt blessed era is yot too remote to bo niado tho basis of the practical legislation of to day. Wc aio not yet members of tho "par liament of man, the federation of the world.'' For tho'prcscnt, the world is divided into separate nationalities; m.d Hint other divino command still applies to our situation : "Ho that providcth not for his own housohold has denied tho faith, and is worse than an infitlcl ;" and, until that bet ter era arrived, patriotism mustsupply tho nlaco of universal brotherhood, For the present Gortchakofi'can do moro good to'thc world by taking enro of Itussia. .Tlio great llismnrk can accomplish more for his orn by being, as ho is, Gcrmhn to the core, and pro moting tho welfare of the German Empire. LctHeaconsfield take care of England, and McMahon of France, and let Americans devote themselves to tho -welfare of America. When each docs Ids best for his own nation to promote prosperity, justico,' and pence, all will.haro done moro for tho woild than ifJ.aU had attempted to bo cosmopolitans rather than patriots. Applauxc Hut I wish.to say, Mr. Chnirmnn, that I havo no sympathy with those who approach this question only from the stand-point of their own lo cal, selfish jptprest. Whon a man comes to mo and says, "Put a prohib itory duty on the foreign nrticlo which competes with my product, thnt I inny get rich more rapidly," ho docs not excito my sympathy; ho repels mo ; and when another says, "Give no prelection to tho manufacturing industries, for I am noi a manufactur er and do not caro to havo them sus tained," I say that ho, too, is equally mercenary and unpatriotic. If wc wore to legislate in that spirit, I might turn to tho gcntlomnn frem Chicago and t.ay, "Do not ask mo to voto for an appropriation to Uuild a couit houso or a pobtofilco in your city; I novor expect to get any letters from that ofiico, and tho pcoplo of my dis trict never expect to bo in your courts." If yo wero to act in this spirit of narrow isolation wo should bo unfit for tho national positions we occupy. Too much of our tariff discussion has been warped by narrow and sec tional considerations. Hut when wo baso our action upon tho conceded national importance of tho great in dustries I havo referred to, when wo recognize the fact that artisans and thoir products are essential to tho well-being of our countiy, it follows that tlioro is no dweller in tho hum blest cottage on our remotest frontier who has not a deop porsonal interest iu tho legislation that shall promote these great nntionnl industries. Those arts that onablo our nation to ribo in tho scalo of civilization bring their blossings to all, nnd patriotio cit izens will cheerfully bear a fair share of tho burden necossnry to innko thoir country grent nnd self-sustaining. I will do fond a tarifi'that is national in its aims, that protects and sustains thoso Interests without which tho na tion cannot becoino great and solf sustaiuiug. So impoitant, in my viow, is tho ability of the nntion to mnnufaeture all tlicso ai tides noeessary to arm, equip, nnd clotho our people, that if it could not bo scoured in any other way I would voto to pay monoy out of tho Federal Treasury to maintain Government iron nnd stool, woolon and cotton mills, at whntovor cost. Wore wo to negloot those grent intor osts nud dopond upon othor nations, iu what a condition ol holplossuess would wo find oursolvoa when wo should bo again involved iu war with tho very nations on whom wo wore depending to furuioh us thco sup-J pllco" Alio -jBieiu uoopieu vy u fathois Is wisor, for It so encournges the groat nntionnl industries an to mako it possible at all times for our pooplo to equip themselves for wnr, and atthe samo timo iucrcaso their intelligence and skill so as to mako them hotter filled for all tho duties of citizenship both iu war and in pence. Wc provido for tho common defenso by a system which nromotes tlio gon crnl welfare, I would have tho duty so udjustcd that ovory great American industry can fairly live and mako fair profits; and yot so low that if our manufac turers attempted to put up prices un reasonably, tlio competition from' nbroad would come in and bringdown prices to a fair rate. I('lito-rnM IlariiHfrl. "UVill KuslMi Im; OowUcU OutV SIc'm li BYum!. A New York dispatch of tho loth says: Tho Herald publishes an In dianapolis special giving interviews with several prominent Democrats, iu which thoy say thoir defeat was cnuscd by the unpopulnrity 6f Eng lish and Landers. Fleming, State Treasurer, a defeat ed candidnte for re-election, attempts no concealment of his disgust with English. Ho says: "This hns been tho worst managed campaign on tho , Democratic side in tho history of that State, nnd English has proved himself to bo miserably inefficient and utterly incompetent, that ho has been outgeneraled at every point, that his pcrsonnl unpopularity lost many hundreds of votes and that ho has noycr had the State properly polled nor organized the Democrats in any way. Frank Landers ascribes his defeat to English's stupidity, stin giness, and mismanagement of the canvass, but Hint's all bosh. Landers isn't fit to govern." Gen. John Love, of the State House Hoards, says : "Tlio loss of Indiana isM-io to incompetence, avarice, and Unpopularity of English. Ho says the latter cannot comprehend his po sition because tho only thing that could annoy him is tho loss of a little money. , State IIouso Commissioner Nelson is equally severe on English and lays all tho blame on him for tho loss of the State. Secretary Shanklin, who was de feated for re-election, is boiling over with rage, and the mere mention of English's namo throws him into a paroxysm of anger. Ho refers to English tenderly as a "I103" and a brute. Gon. M. E. Manson, State Auditor, another of the victims, boils over with choice profanity and blnmt'3 En glish for nil tho trouble in the most forcible explectivcs he can command. Colonel Gray, nomineo for Lieu tenant Governor, bays Landers was a dead weight to carry, but that the State could havo been carried but for English. He uses bad words in talking of the latter, and blames Mc Donald and Voorhees for his (En glish's) nomination. Gray pronunces English "a base fraud." Deputy Secretary of State, Peele, says Hint English lost Indiana for the Democrats, and thinks he out to re tiro. Hendricks is said to have declared to-day that English ought to with draw at onco. He professes to believe that if English withdraws Hancock can carry tho voto of the State. Tho Herald's Indianapolis corres pondent says: In respect of tho withdrawal, I can givo you gossip only. Messrs. Iluilburt and Wa.ter- bury remained until Uiis afternoon, an extraordinary fact, unless some thing was up. A prominent citizen nnd long lifo Domocrnt says : "There was a meeting last night to consider tho plan of putting Hondricks in En glish's place. Tlio friends of Hon dricks say his record was as good in Juno as it is now. Mrs. Hendricks says tho Governor shall not accept, English says ho won't have tho chanco, for ho (English) would not go ofi". He will go down with tho ship, and I guess he will."

The 1'oat this morning de votes a long dismal cditoral to tariff issues for the time.

While the argument is simply ludicrous, it demonstrates to what extremity the Democracy is driven for comfort. tinovr Storm. Sioux City, Oct. 17. An inch of snow fell here last night tho larliest ever known. The weather is freezing, Tho storm is general over the north west, nnd the wires nrc down in every direction. Little Kock, Oct. 17. A severe wind and rain storm occurred here to-day. It broke many windows, blew down a circus tent, blow over a lion "cage, and both lion and lioness escap ed, flying through the crowds of peo ple.

Tho contro versy is watched with much inter est, but Sherman cannot afford to countenance tho practico of dueling, by accepting tho challenge, and tho party sending it should bo arrested nnd punished. Tho Only question. The New York Sun, the inost bitter Democratic paper in tho Union, says : "Tho Democrats havo sustained an unexpected and mortifying dofcat in 'Indiana and Ohio. It is disasterous and may provo fatal. It is silly to mako light of it and idlo to whittlo it away by cunning calculations and adroit figuring. Tho Democrats are beaten, badly beaten; whethor beaten to death or not is tho only question. Tho 3IeuuncM orEnsUnh. Now York, Got. 15. Mr. English did a eharnctoribtio thing yesterday.
