L&toon, Oct. 8—The Ion? expected enunciation of the Tory platform for tha pre feu t electoral campaign was made bv Lord Salisbury in a speech before the national Conservative conference at Newport The premier's speech disappointed tha prophets because it contained no startling statements, Int it furnished food lor serious thoaeht. It is universally admitted to be the only able speech that ha* been mad* on the Tory side since Mr. Coambarlain started the stumping campaign. Lord Salisbury snolce for two hoars ia slas! lag style. He seldom referred to notes, and h j used no grace? of oratory or of gesture to aarist bis meaning, bat his desperate earnestnees impressed itself upon every listener. His rugged manner emphasised bis words, and every point was iterated and* hammered in with bulling nsrttnarttj The Liberal's have hitherto indulge! in platitudes about self goveraoNat. The Tory chieftain wasted no word* to win friend ship, but he outlined a sound, workable scheme, which wonld be niililj to the advantage of the middle oiaas rate payers. The most exciting episode of the day was when Lord Salisbury made his reply to Mr. Chamberlain's Radleal platform. The reply was in the form of a fierce and savage attack. The premier sneered at Mr. Chamberlain's pet measures at free education and the compulsory purchase of land The first of these, he said, was an attempt to abolish religion, to destroy the church, the state and the schools. The otiter measure was, he declared, a most ingsafoas and carefully evolved scheme to effect Liberal domination, with its attendant corruption. At this point the whole audisnoe arose and exhibited the wildest enthusiasm. Hate were thrown into the air, sticks and handkerchiefs were wildly waved, and round after round of ohetrs rang through the bonding for several minutes. A similar but milder outburst of fervor occurred whan Lord Salisbury mentioned the loyal devotion of the colonies and approved tha project of imperial federation.

His discharge was made because of his criticism of President Cleveland's civil service reform letter. In a street-car conversation a few days ago fa* called the president of the United States an ass for writing such a letter. He said he was in favor of putting a Democrat in the place of every Republican. He would carry this even to the extent of putting out the one-legged Republican ex-soldiers and putting in their places one-legged Democratic soldiers. In the heat of his friendly talk he said that If Cleveland ;did not reform his wars an O'Donovan Bossa or sgme dynamite fiend would be after him. , ,t : Charleston, a G, Oct. a—The killing of Etepbnev Rdey (colored) by Dr. A.

Dr. Bellinger, not reoognisiug the man maltreating the horses, vigorously remonstrated. He was ana wared with a torrent of oaths, and he then r6cog-1 nised tlie man a* Riley. Dr. Bellinger again protested again* Riley's treatment of the beasts, and Riley again retorted'with abuse, raising his whips* if to strike Dr. Bellinger. Next morning, while on bis way to a profe atonal call. Dr. Bellinger met Riley In front of his stable anl a conversationensk*l between them, Ida exact purport of which has not yet bean! made public.

The battle may be said to haye commenced with this remarkable address, which exhilits all the Ugh qualities of the Tory leader as well as his defects, and most powerfully Influence public opinion on mere than one burning question,"  This maniac then showed a page's ticket, which he had bought, which would enaCble him to go upon the stand on Inauguration day. Hayden, by pretending to fall D in with his plans, got him to go to bed.' He then made his escape, and with the aid of three or four men the lunatic was captured and sent to the Government Insane asylum, and afterwards taken back to Illinois, his home. - He was a wealthy men who had once before been confined for insanity. Maxwell, who assisted Hayden in capturing this man, was appointed a first lieutenant in the army as his reward.
