Vol. Ill—Whole Number 717. BATAVIA, N. ¥., SATODAY EVENING, OCTOBER 16, 1880. Prie« Two Gents POLITICAL. H a n c o c k on T a r iff. N ew ^ ork , Oct. 15.—--In answer to Theo. F. Randolph of N. J., who' wrote to Hancock asking him to put himself on the tariff question, the latter replies as follows: G overnor ’ s I slan d , Oct 12. M y D e a r G o v e r n o r : I have re ceived your favor of the 1 ith, In my letter of acceptance I expressed my full sympathy with our Ameri can industries. I thought I spoke plainly emough to satify our Jersey Iriends regarding my tariff views. I am too sound an American to advo cate any departure from the general features oPthe policy that has been largely instrumental in building up our industries and keeping Ameri cans froisi the competition of the under-paid labor of Europe. If we intend to remain honest and pay the public debt, as good people of .all parties d 0, and if we mean to adv minister the functions of govern ment, then we must raise revenue in some \va.y or other. With a re-uni- ted and. harmonious country we shall certainly in time pay off the public ctebt; but the necessity of raising money for administration of the government will continue as long as huma.n nature lasts. A .11 parties agree the best way for us to raise revenue is largely by tariff. So far as we are concerned, therefore, all the talk about “ free trade” is folly. But the tariff question will , probably be treated with justice to , all our interests and people by some j such bill as Eaton’s. I believe that < a commission of intelligent experts, representing both government and American industries, will suggest tariff treasures that will relieve us of any ciudities and inconsistencies existing in our present laws and con firm to *is a system which will be judiciou.8, just, harmonious and, in cidentally, protective as well as sta ble in its effect. I aui very truly yours, W i n f i e l d S. H a n c o c k . P o r t e r ’ s P l u r a l i t y o v e r 6,000.

Rente's Minstrels will give an entertainment at Dellinger Opera House, Thursday evening, Oct. 21. Tlie New York Mercury speaks of them as follows: “ A correspondent from Bridge port, Conn., speaking of Mme. Rentz's Minstrels, writes as follows: 1 A very large and very much disap pointed audience gathered last even ing at the Opera House to witness the entertainment given by Mme. Rentz’s Minstrels and Vienna Or chestra. The disappointment arose from the fact that the performance vvas entirely different from what was expected. as the entertainment was of a most refined and chaste charac t*er, so varied and pleasing as to win the highest praise from all present. Tro upes like this add a charm to the stage, and make it a pleasure to visit the theatre. Under the manage ment n1 Kit t’I.irkethe reputation of this company has now a high posi tion as one of the most refined and elegant entertainments now before the public, and that this fact is ap preciated, is evident from the splen did success the company has met with during the entire season.

Fax Sufferer. ” We knew after readi ng his first article, that he had a se cret sorrow of some kind, but were gnorant of its nature until his sec ond letter appeared, when behold, the whole shameful tru th is laid bare. For twenty-five years this honest but imposed upon man, has sent lis children and grandchildren to scho /! at an p.nnual cost of as much as srventy-iive cems, No wonder le shrkks al. u(i at this 'njustice. As he neglected to mention how many children and grandchildren had been educated by this enormous utlay, we are unable to tell how much the education of each cost, >ut it must have amounted to sev eral cents. We drop a silent tear when we think of the bnrden lie has borne so oug and patiently. And nc*v, when presumably his ;it:ock of children ani grandchilren is running low, is added to his al ready tremendous assessment ofs-ev- enty-five cents, the sum of ninety- three mure distinct cents.

T h « B a ll Sent S o i l i n g O n —E n t h u s i a s t i c D e m on s tration. last evening Batavia caught usp 1 he .Sira of enthusiasm which is .iid.il le-ii.o I by Republicans every- wh-re; an d mac?'1 such a display as to !v\: tk< ¡1 reeve. nura>ic---s of old times, and give inspiration to affairs of the present. Tneoldwi !e-i vakes of i860 had ma_nLfested a re to take part in the demonstrations, and their appearance was awaited with considerable interest. Several com- pintes from adj. ining towns had ac- * epted hrviutiasis to be present, and everything seenaed ausspicio-is fur a grand display. At an early hour crowds of people m .je t he streets al most! mpassabl e, and au>!ed to the g-p-nwal enthusiasm th.it pi ^vailed. The Batavia, “ Boys in Blue,” headed by Marshal Capt. L. R. Bailey,and the iktavia Band, march ed tip Main street as far as Center, and then countermarched down Main, as far as Ellicott Avenue, where they were joined by large del egations from Oakfield and Pem broke As th*e procession passed be<idq_uarters on Court Street, the old Wide Awakes, ninety strong, joined the ranks, while cheers rent the aii. At Ce:m etcry street the Staf ford *1 Bays in Bine” fell in line, and as tins graart body uf men, 570 strong, im iji--! down Main street the tide of en unsiasm had reached its flood. Se.-oral residences along the line were It aradsomely decorated and tfeie befitti ng compliment was beirii ly ackn\v-v|(->(Ji{r2d with rousing cheers. Already the Opera 'House was A lied to overflowing and many were unable to find even standing room. Upon ¡he stajje were repre sentative men liom severed towns and. l 3 ie meeti»^ was organized by the election of Hon. John Fisher, Chairnun. The following Vice Presidents were chosen, M. O’Don nell atnd Michael Hayes of Batavia; C. A Server, o f Byron; C. H. Cham berlin, of Oaklieid; Dr. Parmelee, of Pembroke; aLsoChas. Vallett and George Douglass, of Stafford. After a selection by the Batavia Campaign Glee Club, General Den nis P. Burke, of New York, was presented to the audience, and was received with hearty cheers. There were a great rraany ladies preseat in the audience and the speaker con- gra-tuilated them upon their presence For over an iiour and a half Mr. Burke held th e close attention of his audience, and the frequency of ap- plose showed that he did not speak to <tall ears, lie is a native of Ire land,. and his appeals must have touched symp*athelic chords in. the hearts of his countrymen. Burke served lander «General Hancock and spolteoihim in. the highest terms ats a military man. It was a late hour when the speaker finished but the i nterest rmanifested was onabat- ed„ and the a_tidience found vent for Uheir appreciation in three rousing cheers for Garfield and Arthur, and with feelings that such meetings as the one of las.1 evening cannot fail to inspire, went to their respective homes. - 4 » * - A Som ikunliaH st«’ Fall« A Mis.
