The Haunted Jewels, BT SABA B. BOSK. "No," said old Grandma. De Varney, in a voice which reminded one of a spiteful cat; "no girl shall ever own my diamonds who will not own the namelgavo her Mehitable Augusta, m& aristocratic, high-sounding name it is, too." "But, grandma, who could expect any girl nowadays to own up to an a ridionlous, old-fashioned name am that? I wont, any woy-c-not for a thousand diamond seta!" . "Nobody wants 70a to; nobody wants 70a to. Ton never should have them "' any way, if yon should call yourself by as many names as Queen "Victoria; it's too late in the day, my girl." "Who, then, shall you give them to, grandma? Mart?" "Do yon take me for a fool, Mehitable Augusta De Varney? If I should 'give them to thai simple sister of yours, doat X know that it would be yon that would wear them? "TLen, I euppoee, they will belong to red-headed, cross-eyed Mehitable Sisley, who sheds hypocritical tears when she hears that you are sick. But what does she care -whether you live or die? and I dont know as I should, if you ' would not even see my face." "She cares as much as you, my dear. Tour joy when X have a bad spell shows itself -in your evil countenance.'' "Ha, ha, laughed Oust De Varney, Tm not a hypocrite, anyway. I must say, I hate hypocrisy." There's a great many things you Bate in this world, Mehitable Augusta; there's 'one comfort, any way, I shall leave my diamonds to Mehitable Sialey you shall never possess them." "As if i cared who you left them to. . Wbon you are dead I shall just take, the diamonds, and Hiss Mehitable will be none the wiser." "Mehitable Augusta De Varney J" cried the old woman, in a frenzy, and . raising herself among the white pillows ' "a far as she was able, "if you dare to do such a thing, I'll ruin your whole - future for you. Ill make yoa wish you had dealt honestly by that poor girl." "But, grandma, yon forget," said Gusta, in a low, provoking tone, "you will be dead then, and cannot help yourself." The aged woman almost sprang from her bed in her eager, as she shrieked : 1 will help myself; I will haunt you, Mehitable Augusta De Varney, if you dare lay hands on my diamonds after I am dead." Gusta tossed her head and laughed in a scornful, sneering way; but before she could again speak the door opened, and Marcia, her younger sister, entered, saying, in a shocked tone : "'What! quarreling again with grandnut, Gusta, and she so very low ! How canyon have the heart to do so?" "I have no heart, you' know, sis; nothing but a calico gizzard," laughed Gusta. "I dont know twut that, Gusta; you have very strong affections, and may have to suffer by them as much . or more than yon are causing grandma to sT.fr r sow." "Do -it preach, I beg," cried the heartless girL "Here, hand me my hat; 111 get out of this as quick as possible." Aft.-r the careless and ungrateful Gutts had gone, Marcia, who was a sweet-tempered, kind-hearted girl, sat down in the vacant seat and soothed her grandmother down to something Kke calmness ;.but Marcia knew that, spite of all her ministrations, the old lady eared nothing for her, rating ber far lower in her affections than she did the impudent Gusta, whom she declared twenty times a day she hated; but she went on with her duty as willingly as if she had been the best beloved of her grandmother's heart. Everybody said that the fiery old lady and her granddaughter Gusta were exactly alike; but, if one should mention the fact to either of them, she would fly into s passion instantly and deny it with the greatest vehemence. Old Mrs. De Varney had been every high-spirited as well as wealthy woman, and her really fine diamonds had been the pride of her heart, and she had . kept them through every reverse of fortune for the little motherless gran d- ' daughter she loved so well, and who bore her name; but as her idol grew elder it was shattered, for Augusta became willful and very unkind to the poor old lady, and refused utterly to Dear the name of Mehitable, which she hated. This was a great blow to the proud old lady, and she determined tht if Gusta would not bear her name she should not wear her diamods. , Marcia the old lady bated. She had jujtmiitrMrs: PeVansey said. But she had another granddaughter, the ebild of her only daughter, whom she had repudiated, because she had disgraced herself by mairying a poor man. ' Mrs. De Varney was then wealthy, but she was now -'poor, but this made no difference. She would not forgive the orphan child f her only daughter enough to see Iter. But although Mrs. De Varney would not look upon her face, she sow intended her diamonds for her, because she said she hated Gusta, and if Marcia owned them, Gusta would be sure towear them. . Marcia had listened to many exerting talks upon the subject, bnt felt little doubt but that Gusta would eventually own them; but she often said it was only right if Mehitable Sialey should get them, for grandma had done so much for .Gusts and bad never even seen her daughter's child. But this idia was a terrific thorn in the aide of ; the proud arid ambitious Gusta, Mare by ber grandmother's side

She rang a bell quickly, and gave the order; "Send for father instantly, and tell Gusta to come quickly." Bnt before any one could reach her bedside, the old lady, without regaining consciousness, had passed into the land of shadows. - It was but a week after their grandmother's death, when Marcia saw Gusta one day trying the effect of her grandmother's diamonds. "Gusta," said Marcia, "when are you going to send our cousin her diamonds?" "They are not hers," replied Gusta,

looking with wide opened eyes at Marcia. "Gran'ma gave them to me the

very last day she lived." Marcia looked s little incredulous, and said: "Why, Gusts, I thought you were quarreling with gran'ma that day I" "Wall. I was not She had just told me she thought she was going to die, and that I was to have the diamonds." "But she had said so many times they were to be Mehitable's that I would send them to her, if I were you." "If you were me you would not. I am going to wear them to finish the captivation of that rich Capt Wilyoung, who is so devoted to me." "Gusts De Varney, you are not going to that ball, with our grandmother just dead." "What's the diff?" said Gusta, lightly. "I am not going to lose all my chances because she is dead." "But I told Capt. Wilyoung not to call for us on that account." "But X have met him since, and I told him it would not make the least differ-

"Gusts De Taney, you have no heart, and I was going to say decency." "I know it, and if it does not trouble me what business is it of other people's?" Marcia said no more, but that night, when her sister's admirer called for her, Marcia was obliged to entertain him for a moment, as her sister was not ready. "So tou will not attend ?" he asked. "No, she replied coldly, "not so soon after grandmother's death." She did not notice the look of approval in his face, but she wondered how he could admire one so heartless as her sister; in a moment more the servant came into the room and said in a low tone: "Your sister would like your assistance, Miss Marcia." Marcia arose, and, excusing herself, went to Gusta's side. "Marcia, I cant fasten these tormented things, and whenever I touch them they feel like burning coals." "I would not wear them with that muslin dress, they are entirely out of place." "Nonsense, clasp them on for me quickly." Marcia did as she was told and then brought a light Shetland shawl for her sister, who departed in a few moments for Sirs. Chase's grand entertainment. Gusta was expecting the lcoks- of astonishment which were cast upon her as she entered the great parlors, for grandma's diamonds could not be equaled in the town, and had been worn but a few times in the last twenty years. She felt very proud and complaisant, and was delighted at the whispers and glances in her direction, and her triumph was st its height when, with Capt. Wilyoung, she took her place to dance. There was a peculiar look upon his face when he said : "I beg your pardon, Miss De Varney, but what very uncommon ornaments yours are?" "Very uncommon indeed," lisped Gusta in delight; "there are none in RoserviUe like them." "I should think not," said he, gravely. Gusta fancied the handsome Captain was not as attentive as usual this evening, and she was half piqued with him when he joined a group of young ladies after the dance was finished. "Gusts De Varney, what ails you?" asked Mamie Graves, one of Gusta's particular friends. "Your face is perfectly livid, and ibat jewelry, I declare, Gusts, I would lake it off." "Indeed 1" said Gusts, greatly displeased. "And pray, what fault have

you to find with n?

Why they look exactly like something from a ebsrnel house." "Why, Mamie Graves, I did not think your jealousy would lead you as far as that" " Jealousy I Look in the glass, and see if my words are not true. Everybody is remarking upon them." The independent Gusta went to the

dressing-room with a smile on her face, but one glance in the long mirror . , . . r -n T

caused ner otoou hi emu 111 iier veins and her face to turn, if possible, paler than before; for in the heart of each gleaming stone shone out a naming death's head, and so conspicuous was it that every one could see the evil-looking object even across the large parlors. "For mercy's sake, Mamie," said Gusts to her friend, who had accompanied her, "help me to take off these dreadful things quick !" "Why," exclaimed her friend in astonishment, "you knew how they looked, didnt you?" "It is some of Msreis's work !" cried Gusta, perfectly infuriated at the display she had insde of herself. "They must be painted on." And then she attempted to unclasp one of the heavy bracelets, and her soft fingers touched one of the glistening stones. "Oh!" she cried, in an agony, "the awful thing has burned my fingers to the bone!" "The girl has gone crazy," said Mamie, utterly astonished. "I will go for Mrs. Chase." When Mamie had gone for the hostess, Gusts, with a terribly grewsome feeling, glanced around her, and there, in the large mirror opposite, plainly depicted, was the face and form of her Grandmother De Varney, gazing with an evil smile at her perplexed granddaughter. A an instant the last words her grandmother hsd ever said to her came into her mind, and with the cry, "My God, she is haunting me !" the unhappy girl feU in a dead faint upon the floor, and there Mrs. Chase and Mamie Graves found her s few minutes later. Restoratives were applied, and when Miss De Varney came to her senses, Capt. Wilyoung was summoned, and the frightened girl returned to her home. Her parting with her escort was as cool as poltteness would allow, upon his part When Marcia removed the jewels from about her sister's neck and arms, no trace of the horrible death's head was to be seen; but Gusts was sufficiently frightened, the jewels were sent

to taw rifhfiul owner tpej the next

morning ; the heartless girl never wished to see them again. Capt Wilyoung's attentions ceased from that evening. Whether he was disgusted with the heartless girl's behavior, or had at first admired Marcia most, certain it was that, six months later, Marcia became Mrs. Capt. Wilyoung, and her sister, angry though she was, felt that she was amply rewarded for her cruelty to Grandma De Varney. Where Bid life Begin! Retarding the earth, then, as at ore

time an intensely hot globe, totally de titute of organic life, one of the principal and indispensable conditions of rendering it habitable for plants and animals evidently would be the radiation into space of its excessive and destructive heat The accomplishment of this, with the train of concurrent effects which would follow, or at least ever have followed the gradual reduction of temperature, is all that would be necessary to render the earth a suitable place for the maintenance of vegetable and animal life. At any rate this is precisely what has taken place since the commencement of the Azoic age, and is still taking place on parts of the earth's surface to-day, visible and obvious to any observer. Our inquiry, therefore, is reduced to this question: What part or parts of the earth's surface first became sufficiently cooled by radiation to be habitable by plants and animals? A supposed case may help us in reaching a correct answer to this question. Let us assume, then, the earth, at the time it was a molten mass, had been and was revolving in an orbit so near the sun that the amount of heat it would have been receiving from the sun would have Just equalized the amount of heat it was losing by radiation. Under these conditions it would have cooled as the sun cooled neither faster nor slower. This helps us to understand that the heat received from the sun is, and ever has beenan offset, so far as it goes, to the heat lost from the earth by radiation. A statement of the loss of heat from the earth during any definite time may be formulated in this way: From the heat lost from the earth by radiation during a given period, subtract the heat received by the earth from the sun during the same period, and the remainder will be the net or actual loss of heat Sidereal heat received by the earth being infinitesimal in comparison, is not here taken into calculation.. But were it more considerable, it would not be important in this connection, for it falls on all parts of the earth stout equally. It is evident, from the present condition of the earth's surface, that at the time it was a molten mass, and for a long time thereafter, it radiated heat into space much more rapidly than it received heat from the sun ; but, nev-theles-), the heat of the sun is, and always has been, offsetting the loss of heat from the earth by radiation to the full extent of the heat which the earth had been receiving from the sun during the time. But this sun-heat, this offset to radiation, has not been received by all parts of the earth equally. The equatorial belt, or torrid zone, has always received the most per square foot, or m proportion to its area. The two intermediate, or temperate zones, have received the next largest amount per square foot, or in proportion to their area; while the polar, or frigid zoner, have received the least per square foot, or in proportion to their area. If the amount of sun-heat received at the equator be rated at 1,000, then, upon the same basis, the average sun-heat throughout the torrid zone should be rated at 975, the average sun-heat throughout the temperate zones at 757, and the average sun-heat throughout the fiigid zones at 454, or less than one-half that of the torrid, and less than two-thirds that of the temperate zones. Wo speak here, and shall hereafter, of the geographical zones of the earth for the sake of convenience. The greatest amount of heat received from the sun and offsetting radiation from the earth, other things being equal, is, of course, as we have seen at the equator, and less and less every degree north and south of this line to the poles. If, then, -the frigid zones have been during all this time receiving the least heat from the sun the least offset to their own loss of heat by radiationdoes it not follow that they were the first parts of the earth sufficiently cooled to maintain vegetable and animal life? The inference seems inevitable. Popular Science Monthly. Bandylegged Irish Children. The writer believes that an adequate explanation for the affliction maybe found in the habits of the Irish people. It is well known that all over the south and west of Ireland thousauds of the peasantry live in mnd cibins, which are for the most pait several feet below the level of the surrounding soil, many of them destitute of windows, doors, and chimneys, the places of which are supplied by simple holes. The cabins are wurmed by a peat-fire in the center of the burrow under the hole in the roof. The fuel is got from the adjacent bog, and its smoke would speedily blear and blind the eyes of any stranger who might ventnre to go inside. Such holes are continually damp, and are hot-beds (or rather cold-beds) of rheumatism, rickets, osteomalacia, and various other diseases. There are generally half a dozen or more miserable children, huddled together for mutual warmth in the cold months, along with the parents, in addition to whom thero is generally at least one full-grown pig, with perhaps a litter of young ones, lhe food of the family consists chiefly or entirely of potatoes, and it is seldom indeed that any of the members see bread or moat, althongh occasionally u little fish, m the shape of eels from the adjacent "bog-holes," may iind its way to their months. According to Marshall ("Human and Comparative Phys'.olgy"'), "potatoes are a weak food, one pound being only equivalent to nbrmt six ounces of bread, or four ounces and a half of lentils; they are not much more nutritions than the succulent vegetables." It follows that, in order to suppoit the body at all, enormous quantities must be eaten. The stomach expands to accommodate the huge bulk of this inefficient food, the body becomes paunchy, and the limbs of children, enfeebled by rachitis, occasione 1 portly by the miserable food and partly by tho unwholesome surroundings, bond under the weight of the trunk, and the deformity already described is the result.

THE CAMPAIGN.

It Opens with Brilliant Prospects for Repubiican Success in November. Wholesale Desertions from the Democratic Ranks Workingmen Will Boycott Cleveland. One Hundred Thousand New York Irishmen Will Vote for Blaine and Logan. THE LAB OK TOTE. Tho Worklnsmen lip In Arms Cleveland Will Bo Boycotted. There is a universal protest from the labor organizations of the country against the nomination of Cleveland and the platform adopted by the Democratic convention, and s unanimous determination to vote against bim. SevJ eral meetings of the labor unions have been held in New York already, at which resolutions were passed to "boycott" Cleveland and his supporters. The workingmen take his nomination as a direct menace to them, particularly as they made representations to the convention of the reasons why they opposed him. A general meeting of the Knights of Labor will soon be called to take steps to organize the opposition against the Democratic nominee and to make it effectual. The subjoined telegrams and articles, clipped at random from different papers, show the formidiable extent of the revolt against the Democratic nominee: IWashlnirton telegram. There are abundant indications that the workingmen are preparing to take an active part in the coming national campaign, and their organization is so thorough, extending into every State, and possessing national representative bodies, that there can be no doubt they will give victory to that side with which they ally themselves. It is this element which leading Democrats dread in view of Gov. Cleveland's executive acts against the interests of labor. His veto of a bill to reduce the fare on the New York City elevated railroads from ten to five cents; his veto of a bill to limit the workjng hours of a day on elevated and surface roads to twelve hours, and several other acts of like character, aroused the laboring men of New York and have created a feeling of antagonism which cannot be removed by highsounding platitudes in a party platform. Already these labor organizations are in motion. An informal meeting of workingmen was held here last night, and other meetings are in progress to consider Cleveland's candidature. At last night's meeting the following action was taken: Whebeas, flrover Cleveland, as Governor of the great State of New York, has used bis veto power on all bills passed in the interest of the common people of tho State, notable among whloh are the tlve-oent-car-faro bill and the child-labor bill; and Whereas, Said drover Cleveland has shown himself to be the friend of the monopolies and the enemy of the people; therefore, be it Jietolved, That we view with alarm the nomination of said Graver Cleveland by the Democratic party, and urge upon all workmen and their friends to boycott him at tho polls in November next. (Mew York telegram. Mr. Hobbs, Secretary of the District Assembly Knights of Labor, said to-dcy that, so far as he had been able to ascertain, the feeling among workingmen was dead against Cleveland. The few workingmen that were at Chicago in Cleveland's interest represented no organizations, and were Cleveland's appointees. The action taken here last night, he said, was not intended tc be in the interest of Blaine, but as a protest against the nomination of Cleveland. The campaign work done by workingmen here would be chiefly through correspondence. The men who met last night did not meet as members of the Knights of Labor, but he thought they represented the sentiments of the members. Mr. B. G. McDonald, of the TaUors' Union, said that Cleveland will be boycotted from Maine to Texas everywhere as he was well known all over the United States as a monopolist and an antagonist to laboring people. Mr. McDonald remsrkee! that he would bet a suit of clothes that Blaine would go out of Kings County with not less than 10,000 majority. f From the Chicago Inter Ocean,! The following resolutions were unanimously adopted at a largely attended meeting of the Coopers' Assembly, 2309, Knights of Labor, Saturday evening last: Whereas, The Democratic party bas nominated (in spiteof the proteets of organized labor) Grover Cleveland, Governor of Mew York, a ita

S0O9, of Chicago, that we regard Grover Cleveland as the representative of the monoDOllatia abominations of this country; that we regard the nomination of snch a man by the Democratic party aa an insult to tho working classes of America; and that we feel in honor bound to do all in our power to insure his defeat Krom the Chicago Tribune. It is estimated that there are 14,000 street car-employes in New York City, and not one of them will vote for Cloveland, who vetoed a bill reducing their hours of labor. Ever little town nowadays has its street-car line, and whenever a driver or conductor is found, one more vote may be counted for Blaine and Logan. A reporter for a Chicago paper had a conversation with a streetear driver, who said: I am a Democrat, but yon can jnst bet your life I vote for Blaine. Cleveland has not a Mend on a street-car. Ho vetoed the bill of the Mew York car company men, when he had a chance to give them a lift, and yon can bet your Uf that the boys will help to veto htm at the election. I drive, and I can hear men talk. When I caTie down town this morning five men sat brhln d me on this scat, an-l all raid they would not vo-.o for Cleveland, and I told them the same here. Those men were Democrats and voted fi r Cnllcrton, every one, but you bet they don't swallow Cloveland. Providence (R. I.) dispatch. A spirited meeting of the State Central Labor Union was held in this city to-night to discuss the wisdom of the nomination of Grover Cleveland. The nomination was considered as a slap in the face to the laboring interests of the country, and considerable talk was had, all in the line of bolting the nomination. A committee was appointed to canvass the subject of conferring with the Central Labor Unions of the several States on the advisability of jumping the ticket and of supporting candidates who are favorable in their dealings and general action to the working people. It is the earnest desire that Gen. Butler will stand on the Anti-Monopolist ticket. If he do;a he will take about half the Democratic vote in this State. (Trenton (N. l. telegram. There promises to be a severe revolt against Cleveland in this State. Signs of it are already abundant State Labor Inspector Fell says the labor vote of the State is against the Democratic nominee. Assistant Inspector Dowdell

ftvs that, while he wiU support Clave-j

land, he believes nine-tenths of the labor vote in the State will oppose him. Gov. Abbett is authority for the statement that the nomination is the worst that could possibly have been made, and Assemblyman Harrison declares that he will not support Cleveland under any circumstances. He says that the nominee cannot carry New Jersey, as the laboring men will not vote for him. (From the Chicago Tribune. A veteran printer says: "I wonder if men in editorial rooms and law offices know how much talk there is of voting for Blaine among a class of men who have voted for Gen. Butler and are usually regarded as Democrats. It surC'les me; and since Cleveland has n nominated the change when the votes are counted will astonish everybody. I hear it on every hand. The fact is, there is a belief that Blaine and Logan are men of the people." (From the Chicago T lbune.l Of l',600 men employed at the McCormick reaper factory in this city, most of whom have hitherto voted the Democratio ticket, it is stated on Democratic authority that fully 80 per cent will vote for Blaine. THE IHI8II TOTE, Why It Cannot Be Delivered to Cleveland. Mr. John Devoy, editor of the Irish Nation, in an interview published in the Chicago Tribune, explains the nature of the wide-spread and deep-seated opposition of the Irish of New York State to Grover Cleveland. He states very emphatically that the bulk of the Irish-American voters of the New York cities cannot be cajoled, coaxed, or bullied into voting for the New York Governor. The Irishmen of the Empire State are going to effect a thorough organization for Cleveland's defeat Irishmen Organizing Against Cleveland in Now York City. (New York telegram to Chicago Inter-Ocean 1 It is pretty safe to assert that Cleveland will have very few Irish votes in this city or in the State. At a meeting of representative Irishmen in Clarendon Hall to-day there was a positive declaration of opposition to Grover Cleveland as a candidate for the Presidency. Speeches were made by Gen. Korwan, formerly editor of the Montreal Post, Riohard Murphy, Edward O'Meagher Condon, Col. O'Flynn, and others in favor of Blame, and a resolution to indorse Blaine was carried by a two-thirds majority. It wai also resolved that the committee on organization should attend the Blaine mass meeting at the Grand Opera House on Tuesday evening next The Blaine boom has been fairly started in IrishAmerican circles, and there is no predicting where it will end.

A Heavy Irish Tote for BInine la Wisconsin. (Milwaukee dispatch to Chicago Tribune. One of the most striking features of the campaign thus far in this State is the evidence, daily accumulating, that a large proportion of the large Irish vote in the State will be cast for Blaine and Logan, Had the Democratic national nominations been made and the Democratic campaign begun earlier it is probable that successful steps might have been taken by good management to hold the larger part of the mass of Irish-American Democrats together. But the nomination of Blaine and Logan was highly satisfactory to the Irish of that State. Their satisfaction has spread and increased to un enthusiasm. The Republican managers have not failed to avail themselves of the peculiarities of the situation. Today the Irish vote of Wisconsin is hopelessly "split up," and a large part of it will go to swell the majority of Blaine and Logan. One Hundred Thousand New York Irishmen Will Toto for Blaine. (Boston dispatch to Chicago Tribune. Mr. John Francis Marvin, of Cambridge, who has been in New York City since the close of the Democratio convention, sends the following telegram to a prominent Boston Democrat: One hundred thousand Irish-American Demerit t here and throughout the State will vote for Blaine and Logan, regardless of whatever action Tammany may take. The feeling is spreading that the time has come to out loose from the Democracy and act independently in politics. But little stock is taken in the Mulligan circular roorbach. Cleveland's refusal to allow the equality of worship bill to come before him is strongly condemned. A conference is to be called in a few djys for the purpose of forming a national committee. Forward this good news to our friends In Massachusetts. Cleveland goes into the ttght without the Irish rote; the result la inevitable. Increased Enthusiasm for Blaine Atuong Tory DamorBts.n (Troy (N. Y.) dispatch to Mew York Tribune. The enthusiasm of the Irish Democrats of Troy in favor of Blaine and Logan has received another impetus in the nomination of Grover Cleveland. Saturday night the following dispatch was sent to Mr. Blaine at Augusta : "We, the undersigned, life-long Democrats, congratulate you upon the nomination of Cleveland. Increased enthusiasm for Blaine among the Democrats of Troy." It was signed by Samuel Morris, President of the Common Counoil; W. C. Cozier, the editor of the Evening Standard; ex-Mayor John A, Fitzgerald, Dr. P. E. FenneUy, John P. Kelly, Michael Cantwell, Michael Allen, Patrick Conaty, and others. President Morris made some telling hits in a speech before the Blaine and Logan Irish Brigade. There was a storm of applause when he referred to the way in which a Democratic Congress had snubbed Gen. James Shields, electing a rebel General as Sergeant-at-Arms instead of him. Mr. Morris wished the people of the country to know that the people of his race were voting for Blaine and Logan, not as Irishmen but as American citizens. He denounced Francis Kernan's assertion that the Blaine and Logan Irishmen were hotheads. He declared them to be reading, thinking men. "I know whereof I speak," said he, "for I have been identified with Irish organizations in New York and Troy for twenty-five years." Seventeen additional members signed the roll of the brigade. St. Louis Irishmen Who Am for Blaine. IBt. Louis dispatch. It has been developed that the Irish Democrats of this city are so indignant over the treatment Ben Butler received at the Democratio National Convention and over tho nomination of Cleveland, whom they look upon as the enemy of the Irish, that their entire vote will be divided between Blaine and Butler this fall the former to receive the greatest vote. The Call publishes interviews with many of the leaders of the Irish element of this city on tho subject of Cleveland. Among those who have been interviewed, and who have pro nounced for Blaine, are Dr. Thomas O'Reilly, of Washington avenue; Dr. John J. Ryan; Charles O'Brien, editor

of " American 7i,; Simon L, Jor-1

dan, representative of Finerty's paper; Andrew Brown, editor of the Union; and F. T. Madden, a well-known Irishman. All those named are men of heavy influence, and they are emphatio in the announcement that they will vote for Blaine. As Blaine favors a strong foreign policy, they conclnde that he will be of infinitely more value to the Irish than Cleveland.

This man, Benjamin F. Butler, who is not a member of our party, but of theirs, we gave our free and untrammeled nomination for the Presidency, hoping thereby to unite every clement against the Republican party and consummate its overth tow. This tree offering of our support the leaders of the Democratic party have spurned, and treated with derision the idea of nominating the man to whom our votes were p.edged. Instead of nominating a man whose life bas been a constant protest against monopolies of every foim, they have insaitcd common decency and every laboring man in the land by nominating Grover Cleveland, the pliant tool of the most godless gang of monopolists on the face of the earth. This sort of insolence leaves bnt one course: We must fight! Their insulting slap in the face must be answered by a blow that shall knock them down. They have spurned oar most gracious and generous atd; now they should be made to feel our power. The 36,000 tried and true men who stood in line and voted our ticket tour years ago may now, since the soundness of our principles has been verified by the "court of last resort," be saioly estimated at 60,000. If we so will we can wrest Miss, url irom the ranks of the "Democracy" and beat the monopolist they have nominated. Mr. Bu Jer having taken part in the deliberations ot the Democratic committee will, no doubt, feel in honor bound to support the ticket they have named. But this does not bind us; it simply relieves us from tho necessity of putting in the field an electoral ticket, which, under the circumstances, will leave us stronger for the work before us. We can elect a State ticket, several members ot Congress, and a large per cent, of the State Legislature The time has come when we must choose between eviis. As between Blaine and Cleveland the latter is by far tho greater evtL For. with his success we have two great monopolistic parties.

whereas with his defeat wj have but one. With his overwhelming defeat tho way will be clear

for the organization 01 a great national i-eopio a party that shall take possession of the Government. Yours very truly, 3. B. FoiiETT. THE ANTI-MONOPOLIST TOTE. It Is Dead Against Cleveland and Hendricks

The Anti-Monopolists and Labor-

Reformers say that they will support Butler for President They will, under no circumstances, support Cleveland, whom they bitterly denounce ss a monopolist, the creature of the corporations, and a sham reformer. The leaders of both organizations assert that Butler will make the race, and refuse to support Cleveland, who, as a Butler man (L E. Dean of New York) remarked, has as much chance to carry New York as he has of carrying heaven. John F. Henry, Chairman of the AntiMonopoly National Committee, said in an interview at New York, the other day: The laboring men and Anti-Monopolists will under no circumstances support Grover Cleveland. He accepted the Democratic nomination for Governor two years ago on one of the strongest anti-monopoly platforms ever adopted by a Bute convention: he promised th? anti-monopolists that he would stand on that platform, if elected, in good faith, and would stand by the canals and in all ways carry out the principles enunoiated by the convention; but he failed to keep his word. Be appointed a railroad man as Superintendent of Canalf , and named two men who are In sympathy with railroad corporations for the Board of Railroad Commissioners. Be vetoed the elevated railroad five-oent fare bill and the bill to reduce tho hours of labor of conductors and drivers. In other ways he has violated bis pledge. Ho has not been true to the Democrats, to the anti-monopolists, or to the laboring men, and he violated long-established Democratio principles by favoring the one-man power in New York and Brooklyn, If the Democrats had nominated a man in favor of antimonopoly and reform they would have carried New Hampshire, Ma-saohusetts, Connecticut, Mew York, Mow Jersey, Michigan, Iowa, some of the Pacific States, and all of the Southern States. Now they can carry the Southern States alone. . THE GERMAN TOTE. Wisconsin German publicans SoUd for Blaine. Milwaukee dispatch. Secretary H. C. Payne, of the Republican State Central Committee, is in receipt of ten or twelve letters from ss many points in the State where the German element of the population predominates. In some way the impression had gone out that in such localities there was much lukewarmness, if not actual disaffection, caused by Mr. Blaine's nomination. The State Central Committee decided to make a thorough, searching examination of the facts in each county, city, and town, and, in many cases, even in small villages, with a view of being informed as to the actual State of affairs. Secretary Payne sent out letters of inquiry. These letters were addressed to well-known, level-headed gentlemen who would report the exact state of the case without any coloring or unwarranted enthusiasm. So far the result has been not only most satisfactory but highly gratifying. To-day's letters, received in answer to Mr. Payne's inquiries, report no disaf fection among the German-American Republicans. It is learned that, in spite of reports skillfully Bent out from Democratio sources, many of the most promising and influential GermanAmerican Republicans of Wisconsin are counted among the "original" Blaine men of the State, and among them the result of the National Republican Convention's work is received with the utmost enthusiasm. And all through the state the German Republicans are practically solid in support of the ticket , INDEPENDENTS' FOB BLAINE. The Pennsylvaal m Anti-Cameron Men Give Their Reasons for Supporting the Republican Ticket. Philadelphia telegram. The Independent Republicans, who in the campaign two years ago east E0,000 votes and defeated the regular Republican candidate for Governor, were invited two weeks ago to join with the Massachusetts and New York bolters in their personal revolt against Blaine. The missionary who brought the invitation was snubbed and sent back to New York with the message to all the bolters that the Pennsylvania Independents were all for Blaine. To-morrow an address to all the Republicans of New York and Massachusetts will bo issued, signed by the most influential of the Pennsylvania Independents, some of whom were active supwsrters of the Wolfe revolt and all of whom were prominent followers of John Stewart in 1682. Among the signers are ex-Gov. Hoyt Senator Mitchell, Charles H.

The address says: "The grt atest wrong of which the Independents have had In lhe past to complain has oeen ths use ot the 1 arty machinery in such away as to thwart th ? wishes of the people. It ca not be calnsal 1 thai. Mr. Blaine ft the cho oe o the masses of the dominant party in the United States, a-id that the late convention, better than most of He liredcces wrs, give heel to the demands or lie constituents. To oppose his election would then s-cm td be an attack u on the result r of Independent work, Ktea If it be true th t Mr. Blaine l as not been a pronounced ad vocate ot civil-service reform, tuat oanse has, in our judgment, far more to hope from the Jtepubll an party, which hai embodied the principle in its platform, thin from the Democrats, who arc avowedly hostile to it, who disml sed to private life its Democratic sponsor in the Senate, and who art eagerly awaiting a distrlhut on of r artisan rewards VVo believe, fnrtuer, that It would be morr reaoouall) to ext eot support for .his measure from a man with the vigor and intelligence of Mr. Blalno than from any nominee of the Demo-iats, who, if he should be elected and make an effort in Us favor, would have the whole strength ot ins party nsed agafnst bim. "Nor would such an opposition bs Justified by the fact that charges are made agalns. Mr. Blaine wh ch those that make them say affect his personal integrity. That he must bo defended may perhaps be a good argument against a nomination, bnt it certainly has no relcv.tncy at his t me. If it should be one? established that a man ought not to be elected to the Presidency because accusations have been made against bim, the ablest men would be always excluded. In tho heat ot contests these accusations spring up and luxuriate. They are like the parasitic plants, that cover an oak but live on air and need no loots. It should not be forgotten that these charges have bean met by the State of Maine, which has since elected him to the Senate; by Garfield, who made him Secretary of State, and by the great party which has chocen him for the Presidency. Every presumption is in favor of a man who has been so trusted; and to have wight, it is not- enough that snch charges should be made; they must be eon oluslvely proven.

"To him who says that he cannot support Mr. Blaine because ot conscience there is nothing to be answered, since he stands nroa a ground beyond the reach of argument. We In Pennsylvania see no reason to strik at so distinguished and able a Republican. We feel that whether or not Mr. Blaine was nur choice tor the nomination, his election will best serve the interest ot the people, and that to defeat him would be to aid In tne restoration of 'machine' methods, and to intrust with general power a party which has given every evidence of its inability to exercise it in such a way as to promote the common Following the names are the signatures of the Chairmen of fifty-eight Independent Republican county committees of Pennsylvania.

A Stinging Reply to an Invitation to Be

come at Deserter. A Boston dispatch says : Among the replies which the Secretary of the Independent movement has received is the following from the Rev. M. F. Johnson, of Foxboro: Your circular was received. In reply, permit me to say I nave no sympathy with the attempts of so-called Republicans to defeat tho nominations made in the most representative convention held by the party for years. The city of reformers has been againt ' bosses and rings," and in favor of nominations by the people; and at tho first success of the people over tho machine the reformers, because they could not dictate the nomination, organize to defeat the will ot an overwhelming m ijority of tho people. If it be reform to repudiato principles because in the carrying out of those principle) the management passes out of our hands, I do not wonder at the sneers of reformers, so often complained of by the better class. I do not sympathize with the manifest attempts to asssssinato character by men boast n of their morality. When there arise? in chorus a parrot cry that "Mr. Blalno is a bad man," coupled with fie statement that no personal obliqu.ty Is known save as insinuated in the fling and innuendoes of unscrupulous newspa ers there comes a suspicion that said morality is of tie Pecksnitnan type. If "lookta?" witu solicitude at the Democratic party a rartv which defend political murders in the South, accept the results of ballot-box stuffing In the Interest of reform, indorses 8. J. TUd in after the notorious cipherdispatch exper.cnce. and evades any definite statement of principles on crucial points of party potloy be in the interest of purer politics, I hope the "looking" will not be in vain. I believe in the principles of h- Republican party and in the rc-il.zatlon of the purest and best methods and purposes of political action; bnt I do not believo that any true re oral, whether ot temperance, clvil-servlco reform, or honest counting of votes legally cast, will be carried out by the Demo ratio party. Hence I decline to bo merged in that party or to become an "annex to It. I accept the platform and the candidates, and in my limited sphere shall work to aid in their election; and I have no doubt but that the successful fctcket in November next will bear the names of Blaine and Logan, elected by the people. RETURNED TO THE FOLD.

The St, Louis Wesrllche Post" Has Had Enough of Democracy. St. Louis telegram. The IFesflicfte Post, Carl Shurz's Sroer, after bolting the nomination of laine and Logan, came out this morning with the announcement that it would support the Republican ticket The cause of this action lies in the fact that the WesUiche PosPa subscribers fell away in thousands, and the paper was nearly wrecked. It said : The strongest man has been nominated, by the Democrats, and we detract nothing or the good words we nave said concerning him. But the more we tried to familiarize ourselves wl h the idea of a Democrat at the heal of our national administration the less were we able to reconcile ourselves to It. The long, r this was agitated upon so much, the more vivid became the reminiscence of the past, and to-day we do not find that we are Justified in making any guarantee that a Democrat, be his name Grover Cleveland even, would present an uncompromising front under all circumstances to the menacing onslaught of the Southern "Brigadiers." From the Vice Presidential candidate, who, in the shape of tho dyed-in-the-wool old Bourbon, Hendricks, has bn placed at Cleveland's side, one can anticipate st 11 loss a firm resistance to Southern aggression, should any chance, that which the untorgotten past render possible, require such resistance. The WestUclit Pout opposed tho "old ticket" eight years ago simply on account of this man Hendricks, No, the name of Cleveland alone cannot accomJilish it, and cannot make tho Democratio decaratlon of principles, whose shortcomings we discuss in another column, appear any more agreeable tons. t t jt , And now one word about tho Republican ticket We have oritlcised It thus far freely, but admit now, with equal freedom, that we erred. We expected of the other parly what the Republican party can best perform. Republicans can do no better than to remain true to their ticket. , POLITICAL NOTES.

Culled from Various Journals. Mb. Thubman's friends say that Cleveland cannot carry Ohio. The State will give a big Republican majority in Ootober.
