THE MULLIGAN LETTERS.

Mr. Blaine Wishes Every Republican Paper to Publish Them in FulL

The "Expkon" a Fizzle of the Wont Kind, Hurting Only the Democrats.

Blaine's uwsence of AH Wrong-Doing fair Established by the Cor-

U.BMISE. He Hopes Every Republican Paper in tl Country Will Publish, the Lclterih An Augusta Ote.) correspondent of the Chicago Tribune telegraphs that Journal as follows: "The publication in the itoston newspapers, with sensational headlines, of the so-called additional HnUigaa letters has caused some comment here. It Is well known that the letters have been hawked about tor some time with a view of vetting Mr. Blaine's friends to step their publication, hot they have refused to take any notice of these offers, and are congratulating themselves now that the Democrats have published the letters. Everybody here agrees that th letters are the best kind of tribute to Mr. Elaine's honesty and fidelity to bis friends. His distress because he was unable to raise StS,090 to pay a loan he had secured for the railroad company, proves conclusively the falsehood about his being a millionaire, while his strenuous efforts to keep the railroad company out ot financial difficulty is regarded as proof that he was right i t saying that he would be no deadhead in the enterprise. The publication ot the letters is not a surprise here, as it was known that the Democrats were trying to get up something to break the force ot the splendid victory won by Mr. Blaine in his own State. "Mr. Blaine, accompanied by his wife, arrived from Bar Harbor this afternoon. In answer to the reporter who called at his residence to ascertain if he wished to say anything in regard to the letters, Mr. Blaine replied that his only desire was that every voter in the United States might read the letters for himself and no: form his judgment from editorial misrepresentation in partisan journals. There was not a word in the letters, Mr. Blaine added, which was not entirely consistent with the most scrupulous integrity and honor. He hoped every Bepnblican paper in the United States would publish the letters in f ulL A XKVlktW OF THE LETTERS. The CoXTOSimndeBee Demonstrates Blaine's Innocence of Any "Wrong-Doing. Tbe New York Tribune, commenting on the new batch of Mulligan letters, says: Malice has overreached Itself at last. The new letters published tor the purpose of injuring Mr. Blaine go far to vindicate him. When Mulligan and Fisher ransacked their correspondence eight years ago for material to blacken Mr. Blaine's reputation, their cold and deliberate m:.li rejected the letters now published. If tl ;ro were then in their hands any which conic1 :-e done him harm, we may be sure those v. .J have been produced. But the letters Ben inted, though they contain no new charge. .-. . a scrap of evidence that tends to sustain at-. old charge, do contain much that is ot the grtatest valne to Mr. Blaine. For that reason las accusers when coo! were shrewd enough to suppress them. But now they see public opinio.i movln-r forward with resistless sweep toward Mr. Blaine's election; they axe maddened and desj crate, they hunt their .Pigeon-holes again for the dregs of ancient scandal, and in. their inry they brand themselves wit i falsehood, and for the first time disclose the true character ot the transactions between Mr. Blaine and Mr. Fisher. The new publication embraces that very lettor of Oct. M. 1371, which Mr. Blaine has for e;ght years been accused ot suppressing. As the Sun snowed with great clearness, the oftreiterated charge was reduced at last to this one letter which was named In Mulligan's memorandum, but whica Mr. Blaine declared was not in toe package received and publicly read by him. Continually the Timeg, the Post, and other papers nave repeated that Mr. Blaine lied and had deliberately suppressed this letter. Vet now the blundering rage ot his batted accusers produces It from their own stock and makes one tiling clear. For eight years Mulligan has seen Mr. Blaine falsely accused of suppressing this letter and has known all tbe time that the charge was false, because he held in his possession the sroof. yet he has kept back thttt proof and silently allowed the lie to go on doi ng its dishonest work, and thus has made that lie his own to blacken thecbaracter of Mr. Blaine. In tbe light of this' fact who should now be beueted, Mr. Blaine, who told the truth, or his accusers, self-convicted of falsehood? And why was-this letter then suppressed? Because, as it now proves. Fisher and Caldwell had failed to make good the pledges upon which Mr. Blame had borrowed .. 0 for their benefit. "The great fact which the new letters establish is that Mr. Blaine was the victim of Warren Fisher, deceived by him from the start, induced to involve himself and his friends in an undertaking in whUh they all suffered, crippled by the refusal of r'.sher to keen his word, persuaded when disaster came to barrow money for the enterorlse upon his personal credit, and finally left in the lurch by his professed friend, who reasoned that Mr. Blaine, being a public man, could never aftord to demand what was justly due him, for iear of scandal. The letters of June, laffit, previously published, prove that Fisher then m ;dc a proposition to Mr. Blaine which he hesitated to aicent, uncertain whether it might involve larger resources than he could command. The new letters of Oct. and S show what has been evident all alone, that he bad closed the arrangement with Fisher to take from him- certain bonds in order to raise money for tbe enterprise, and that he did not prove a 'deadhead. but performed his part to the letter. He not only took bonds and placed them to liit the enterprise over obstacles, but had disposed ot $12 ,000 before the letter was written making mention of his ruling in Congress. Thus he has been infamously slandered all this time by the charge that he referred to his ruling in order to get into the concert. He was in it already, as the new letters prove, and had placed all the bonds he was expected to place. But these new letters also prove that privacy about tbat negotiation was urged, not by him, but by Fisher, who was at that time negotiating with Caldwell It may be interred that Fisher did not then want Caldwell to know that the enterprise had been in snch straits. He it was who wrote about 'the Importance of keeping all quiet,' and to him Mr. Blaine wrote, 'Ho one will ever know from me that I have disposed of a single dollar in Maine, , so there need be no embarrassment in talking with Mr. Caldwell.' There was not a thing in the transaction of which Mr. Blaine had re- son to be ashamed. He had taken at his own risk a block of securities, and by bis rersonal credit and reputation with f r-ends had placed them, receiving, as both Fisher and Mulligan admitted, the average rate of percentage tbat others received. Thus, May 31, 1S7S, Warren Fisher, Jr.. testified (Misc. doc. 176. nazes 8s and 801 :

"Question Do you know of sny other sale (than the one to Mr. Blaine) of the bonds of that company? Answer Yes. "Question Were the other sales nude on the same terms as this sale? Answer No, sir. Quite different. Question Was the percentage which was realized by Mr. Fisher on those other sales different from th.'.t realized on this sale? answer It aveiaged about the same. "Afterward what? A long gap m the correspondence. Even now it is evident. Fisher and Mulligan still hold other letters which they dare not publish, but deliberately suppress, because at this and other points in the history the whole truth would vindicate Mr. Blaine completely. But in December, 1STO, it appears that, Mr. Blaine wa4 trying to borrow money for Fisher and Caldwell to help them through, and at the same time appealing in vain tor the bonds promised by Fisher to him and by him to his friends who had purchased. As he states, Dec to, Mr. Blaine did borrow on his individual promises, but in the letter of Jan. 26 he had to beg in vain for ' good notes for the $,ooo ,' and tor ' the $82,000 bon Is which were made by yourself and Mr. Caldwell the exr ress basis of the I'iS.ooo lean.' Thus entrapped by a deliberate brrach of faith, he save: 'Its personal hardships to me are bitter and burning, and humiliating in the last degree.' Yet Fisher and Caldwell Wt htm to bar the loss. A note fell dun March 1, and he was compelled to meet it. Another came in April, and ho wrote: 'It Is no more my debt than the debt of President Grant or Queen Victoria, and I cannot believe that you and Mr. Fisher, both or either. Intend tolnave this burden nt-oo me. If you do It will crush me.' Caldwell. April 25, acknowledged the justice of tbe chum and appealed to Mr. Fisher, being unable to a t himself. Nevertheless, Mr. Blaine was obliged to write June u about the $25,000 'which I borrowed here on my own faith and credit on t e distinct understanding with you (Fisher? that It was to be repaid,' and urges some transfer of seen itlcs. Fisher still refuses, and. Nov. , Mr. Bla'ne Is still praying for an honest fulfillment of tbe contiact. 'How can I do this with parties who have paid their money earnestly demanding tht consideration promised by me, but which I am not able to give be-cius-: I do not receive the bonds to which I am entitled by contract? It is not a question ot

utou y-maamg wuu me. it is simply a fines- I ti- n of saving my word with others,' Is not tli k be laogu if; of a thoroughly honest and I Vp.j8r J it not clear ihroBk'heut UW J

Mr. Blame una conscious ot no wrong, but suffering fcwnly from injustice? Yet, after all this, when a settlement was made and it was agreed by Warren Usher, as he admitted In his testimony, that the letters on both sides should be given up.it was this same Warren Fisher who broke his agreement and kept lottcrs or allowed Mulligan to keep them tor the purpose of defaming Mr. Blame, f nd now, in baffled anger, he prints enough of them to show what sort of a man ho is. By fcis own betrayal of faith the letters now como to light which show how ha took all tho money ho could from Mr. Blaine and bis friends, broke his own word, and trusted for Immunity to a pnb11c man's dread ot scandalous misrepresentation. To such a man Mr. Blaine appealed in vain for the truth . His letter of April 16th is an honest man's urgent plea for simple, justice. The letter is strictly true,' he writes, and every man knows tbat he would never have penned these words with snch a reaiiestif his conscience had told him that the statement he wished Fisher to make was false. The testimony of Fisher and Mulligan already quoted proves that in the vital point Mr. Blaine stated the truth. He bought bonds on the same tenia offered to others, and by doing so Involved himself in heavy loss while making good the losses ot friends. On that very statement which Mr. Blaine asked Fisher to sign, in the belief that a man he bad helped at such cost to himself would not refuse an act of simple justice, his friends may well rest. Not one of bis letters, not one of the letters to him, be it observed, contains any hint or trace of abuse of his position as Speaker or as member ot Congress. Neither Mull can nor Fisher ever charged him with any dishonest or Improper act. In all the transactions he was an honorable gentleman, and he was in the hands of sharpers. "What has the public to do with the business relations ot Mr. Blaine and Mr. Fisher? Nothing, since they do not concern his official conduct in any particular, nor his personal integrtv. The public has judged them rightly. Eight years ago the worst that could be said about these transactions was said, and the people, hearing both sides, sustained Mr. Blaine as they do now. From that day to this public confidence in him has been growing stronger, public regard for him greater, and the latest efforts of his detainers only serve to bring upon themselves the infamy they deserve." BLAINE AND VICTORY!

That is the dry of the Hon. John P. Pinerty, Who Gomes Out Squarely for the Bepnblican Ticket. The Hon. John F. Finerty, member ot Congress from the Second District, has always been a Democrat, but was elected to Congress on an Independent ticket He is again the candidate ot the people ot his district without regard to party lines; but because his sense of honor would not permit him to support Grover Cleveland for President; the Democratic machine has determined to defeat him. In the last issue of his paper, the Irixk Citizen, Mr. Fiuerty reviews the situation In his district and then declares his intention to support Blaine on the broad ground of American citizenship. He says: " Without surrendering a principle that he has ever held, without accepting any party collar, without abandoning the people the independent and honest people who have trusted in and elected him, Mr. Finerty. on the broad ground of American citizenshin and American glory, hereby declares his preference for James G. Blaine as a Presidential candidate. He declares against Cleveland because he has proved himself the enemy of the laborer and the mechanic, the ally ot monopolists, the self-constituted judge of the constitutionality of measures Intended to benefit tbe people, the bare-faced dodger of the vital question of protection to American industries, and the champion, accepted ana ratified, ot a foreign interest on this continent. "Mr. Finerty will never be found voting for any dubious American who has the unqualified support of the Times, the Telegraph, the Standard, and the iVetcs, of London, "He supports James G. Blaine because, in declaring openly for protection against Europe, and free commerce with our American neighbors on and below our Southern frontier, ho advocates the true American policy, and the only one by which this country cannot only remain great, free, and prosperous, but a'so by which she can spread the influence she ought to possess on the two cis-Atlantic continents, and maintain the letter of that Democratic Monroe doctrine which says to Europe 'hands off,' and of which Mr. Blaine, though a Bepnblican, is the truest and most gifted living exponent. With him at the head of the nation there would be no rear that the Panama canal shall ever degenerate into a European water-way. "Mr. Finerty. further, supports Mr. Blaine because of his vigorous foreign polloy a policy that the tragical end ot President Garfield curbed before it had attained to a more splendid development. Mr. Blaine believes in a navy capable of fighting, and in a system ot national defense commensurate with the vastness and the diversified interests of the United States. "Mr. Finerty also supports Mr. Blaine because England abhors him, and because his election, although he is not a fire-brand or a promoter of

unnecessary wanare, would dc a Slap in her face. He hopes the time will never come when the American people will accept a candidata that their most bitter enemies and jealous commercial rivals desire. "Finally, Mr. Finerty declares against Grover Cleveland because his nomination by the Democratic National Convention was a direct insult, and so intended, to the backbone of tho Democratic party north of the Ohio, and a challenge to the manhood and the political courage of every American, of whatever race or previous condition, who earns his livelihood by honest labor." inter Ocean."

Their Reply to Got. Cleveland's Teto of

the Twelve-Hour BUI. Aa is well known. Gov. Cleveland vetoed a bill cutting down the day's work ot horse-car drivers and conductors to twelve hours.

Cleveland refused to sign said bill upon the following grounds and in the words as written by him and filed with said bill: "I fail to see any good purpose to be gained by this bill. It is distinctly and palpably class legislation In that it only apolies to can-

auciors ana unvers on norse railroads, it does not prohibit the making of a contract for anv number of hours' work, I think, and If It does it is an interference with the employer's as well as the employe's tights. If the car drivers and conductors work fewer hours they must receive

less pay, ma tnis ran noes not permit that I cannot think the bill is in the interest of the workingmen; and Whebeas, Gov. Cleveland, in refusing to sign said bill, overlooked the fact that the car drivers and conductors are corupelle 1 to work more hours than any other class of men in the various trades throughout the States, deprived of eating at home or even seeing their wives and children, either by nlaht or day, being deprived ft social intercourse In every respect, subject to disease and sickness by exposure to the winter's cold and summer's torrid heat, and unmindful that, had tbe bill become a law, they might have been leas subject to a life ot slavery, misery and toil; and Whekeab. By his action in refusing to sign said bill, he has shown himself not In sympathy with the drivers and conductors throughout this State, but, as in many other instances, as indicated by his vetoes, is in direct antagonism to the welfare and benefit of the working classes, and a thorough advocate and upholder of great corporations, Kesolred, That we denounce and condemn Gov.

sir. Chairman and Fellow Citizens: At tills hour of the night it would bo presumptuous in me to undertake anything like a full orelaborate discussion, either of the principles Involved in

tne pending I'rcaiuennai campaign or oi uie candidates themselves. It seems to me. since I read

the papers this morning, that the necessity for

very ninen discussion nas passed, ana mat political oratory has resolved itself, nftor all.

pretty much into a hallelujah of fere it delight on the one side and a wail of lamentation on tho other (laughter, with on occasional bleak and dismal whistle coming from tho brush and trom obsenre places in the scenery, intended, no

uouDt, to Keep up sue courage ox tno wmsuer. Laughter. 1 am not unmindful whom I am addressing. I know 1 am in Boston, in the State of Massachusetts, in the New England States. I am a resident ol the State of Illinois: I amacitizen of the

United States. Applause. I am with yon a

joint proprietor or Hunger mil iRiipfnusej.mauo so by the fourteenth and fifteenth constitutional amendments and have a common interest in Paul Revere and in that remarkable cargo of tea, tho unshipping ot which led to such splendid results a good many years ago. I am from what in New York has been characterized as the "rowdy West," and what, by one at loast of Now England's famons clergymen, has been denominated as the "rill-raff West." Laughter. May I say to yon, because I know it will be something, that this characterization has not greatly disturbed us in tho West, nor has it made us angry; and yet Senator-Hawloy will tell you we do not lack spirit on a proper occasion. ILau'-'hter.J Wo have an abundance of it. Don't trltle with it. rLaughter.J Onr State was the only State in the Union, Mr. Chairman, that tilled its quota without a draft lapplauso), and wo sent over about eighteen thousand troops besides to Missouri, a strong Democratic State, as you may remember, which will cast its electoral vote for Cleveland. I am not an Independent in politics. Laughter. I recognize no purgatorial politics, no halting, half-way station lietween heaven and hell. Laughter. To me it is tho heaven of good republic n government, or it is the hell of that diabolical, old, infernal Demoraatic party laughterj that has never, in all its long, consistent, bad, and criminal career, dono a right thing except at the wrong time. Laughter.! I wish to say of this Democratic party nothing unkind or ungenerous, and of the Independents it is my purpose to speak in terms of tho utmost tenderness. Laughter. "Why should we monrn departed friends?" When I read the announcement a few weeks ago, Mr. Chairman, that they had gone, I accepted it with a great deal of solid comfort and Christian resignation llaitehterl but when I nad along a little further, to the statement that their absence was to bo temporary merely, and tint they intended some day to return, 1 confesswho should not confess? that my mind was rilled with the direst apprehension. Our party has made some mistakes. It von will permit me to suggest it has been growing a little too rapidly at the top rLanghter.l IampreStred to exchange, political lusthotics for the itrny-handcd and the hard-fisted. ApJilausc. I see Mr. Curtis and Mr. Schnrz going or tho fourth or filth time. Laughter J My feelings have been laoerated, and my heart has been wrung many times at their departure. They have played already too many farewell engagemen :s. Laughter. I see coming to us in countless thousands the oldfashioned Democrats from whose eyes tho scales have fallen, liberated and freed; and as I see the aesthetics goinsr and tho patriotic, hardworking citizens cminc. I recognize the first rule of private hospitality. I "wekome tho coming and speed the doi ariing guests," Loud laughter, applause, and cheers, and a voice, " Give it to them." Wo have heard in tho West something about the "better element" of the party. Laughter. In our plain way, because we have been building up States and cities and empires, and have not had time to bolt, wehavo thought that tho better element of the party was the biggest oler-ient, and that the wisdom of this great party cf ours was in the majority. Now, don't you think so? Voices, " Yes, sir." Every time. I dislike this appropriation of the phrase " Tho thoughtful and the conscientious oitizens," by a few gentlemen who do not act with the majority of the thoughtful and conscientious oitizens. Applause.! Iam in favor of the scholar in politics; but, nevertheless. I do believe with Edmund Burke that it was the groat good fortune of the British people that they were never ru'od over a few months at a time by their philosophers and then- wise men. My fellow citizens, the great reforms in this world, those reforms from which civil liberty and individual liberty have derived any benefit, have not como from the clouds down, but from the ground up. Applause. I believe in the spinal column of this country. I read tho announcement, for in tho West we do take the Uiutir Monthlu, and hsvc gospel privileges daughter, I read that thesa gentlemen are exceedingly solicitous as to what they call thepurity of the young men. May I bo permitted

w suggest, biuw Liie xuxniers ot uimoisanu oi tno great West those strong, splendid, broadbrowed, great, big-hearted men, those men who buried the doctrine ot fiat money under a majority of o,0O0 think they aro quite capable themselves of taking care of the morals of their sons. (Laughter.! And, most of all, they do not propose to turn the custody of tneso morals over to an assorted lot of gentlemen, half of whom deny tho existence of a God, and the other half of whom believe that mankind, them-selvi-s included, were developed from an ape. Laughter.

L Now, then, what does it m- an to be Indepcnd-

eui. in puiiiicsr n mo worn nas a particle OI significance it is a refusal to acknowi-dce allegiance to either of the great political p. rues of the country. These gentlemen are simply independent ot the liepublicnu party, to whioh they formerly belonged spasmodically and occasionally belonged. Tney have attached themselves to tho Democratic party. And they are not Independent of that whon they acknowledge allegiance to it how absurd rr is. If a refusal to vote tho Republican ticket and Indorse Republican doctrines and to support Bepnblican candidates is an evidence of independence, then tbe Dcmcorat is a good deal more independent than the Independent, because he has that way as independent been independent a good while longer. Laughter. Will some astute logician tell me the difference between a genuine real old-tashioned and one of the original Democrats, this campaign, and the newarticle. the Independent? iLaugliter.J Thoy support the same man ami for the some reasons. The old Democrat and his nllv will support Grover Cleveland because ol his high moral character. Loud laughter and applause Mr. Chairman, I cannot understand why that should produce such a demonstration. Laughter.) Thoy support him, both of them, because ho vetoed tho 6-cent fare bill, because he vetoed the bill shortening the honrs of labor fur the street-car conductors and drivers, and because ho vetoed the mechanics' Hen lav in tho State of Now York. Tho Democrat and tho Independent both support Mr. Cleveland for these reasons, among others, and for tbe same reasons precisely thoy both oppose Mr. Blaine. Mr. Schurz and Mr. Curtis both withhold their support from Mr. Blaine for the same reason Hubert 0. Thompson and Mr. Sheriff Davidson withhold thoirs, exactly. They use tho same methods, work through the same channels, and seek to accomplish the samo end in exactly the same way. Both mourn whon they are defeated, would rejoice if they could succeed, will bo buried in the some common coffin (laughter, applause, and cheers, and when, after November, their bleached and whitened skeletons He on tho beach and shore of political defeat and disappointment, yon can not tell the skeleton of an Independent from that of a Democrat. (Langhter.) This is a very remarkable partv of ours, t he Republican party. It nover hud, in all its long and splendid and lustrous career, a leader who could take it one single inch xn the direction it didn't want to go. Applause. Our leaders have sometimes loit us, and in a wholesale way. Bo much tho worse for the leaders, so much tho better for the party. Applause. In 1872 Governors and cx-Govcmors, Senators and cx-Son-ators. Judges and cx-Jndgos, Trav, Blanche, and Sweetheart, crowds of them, left us becauso the party, as they said, was corrupt, and bow splendidly the old ship did right herself up after they got off. Applause and laughter. How magnificently she made for tho harbor of a splendid success; and how desolate, discomfited, and water-logged have been the leaders who jumped overboard ever since. (Laughter.) There is another remarkable feature about our party which distinguishes it from tho Democratic party. To writo a platform for tho Democratic party rcciulres the very highest degree ot rhetorical and literary ability. Laughter. I think I possess some ability of that kind myself, yet I would not try it under any circumstances (Laughter.) There is not a Republican in all the lifty-fivo millions ot people on this continent, who has got the faith in Mm, who cannot write a Republican platform that is not a good llenublican doclrlno

everywhere. Applause. There is the samo difference between tbe Democratic platform and the Republican platform that there was between our present national currcnoy'and the old stump-tail currency before the war. Oar platform is current everywhere. Did you ever think what would happen to a Democratic orator if he had put his platform in his pocket at night and got on the train, and really landed In the direction he didn't suppose ho had gone? Suppose that he started from Chicago and was coming to Boston, but by somo curious freak he landed at Atlanta or Savannah, and, thinking he wan to Boston at the time, began to clamor for

a free ballot and a fair count! (Laughter and applause. i You see It is a question ot climate; the platform is liable TO spoil, with a ohango ot weather. (Laughter. Supposo that tho patriotic Democrat, and there aro many such constructing his platform, atler days and nights of anxious hair-pulling and headache, has made up his mind as to what the concern means on the subject ol tho tariff, ami lie starts out full of the irtoa that he is a friend of all God's creation and free trade. He is going South, as ho thinks, and the I'enn-ylvania Railroad lauds him in Lancaster, Fa., and, as a Democratic orator, he begins to talk in favor of free trade and to give that construction to the platform. What kind of a tuneral awaits that m nn? i Loud laughter and applause. ! Our opponents object to our talking obout our record. Thev decline to talk about theirs, and I don't hlamo them, f Laughter. J In the few words I shall have occasion lo ni-tor about the Democratic party, remember that I draw a broad Une of distinction between the party anil the members of the party, tho came that I wonld draw between a coriKration and a stockholder, for instance I know-stockholders of tho Standard Oil Company, excellent, splendid, and worthy gentlemen, but the company (pausing solennly, laugiiter.J 1 know Democrats who are a great deal better than their party; 1 never knew any one worse. Laugbt-r.l This party to which the so-called and self-elected and selfappointed thoughtful and oonscieutious citizen" had attached himself! Laughter. This partv that has shown how potent the "silont vote" is in Maine I loud laughter, applause, and cheers and in Vermont. 1 have said they object to anv discussion of their record, and thev insist upon It that wheu any of us begin to talk about It we arc discussing old affairs. Now, it is no objection, gentlemen, to ai, issue that It is old, if it is not settled. Laughter, j The preachers for a great many hundrei' years have been denouncing sin. That Is a very old Issue, one ot the first know of; and I suppose they will keep at it till sin quits. It is about as herd for a political organization to unload its character as it is for a man. l olitical parties como to the people of this country and ask for coniidenco aud trust, and the people ot this countiy, pretty intelligent and observing, look not so much at the venomeuce and vigor ot the promts'.) as tho probabilities that the promise shall be kept; ami those probabilities they determine by the history of the individual or the party who makes it. Now, is not that tho best kind of sense? If a party promises to vindicate the public credit, that party always having orders to destroy it, will you take the promise? (Voices: "No, na"j Of course yon will not. If it pretends and promises to take care of our financial interests, while its history has been a steady line of effort to destroy them, will you acceDt the oromise? I tako it not. These aro fair, square questions which every voter aud every citizen must ask for himself and upon which he must act Now, gentlemen, what is the record of the old Democratic narty? If this hall were all filled with Democrats, if every man here was a Democrat solid In the faith and firm in the belief, I could clear the hall in three minutes by reading them their own platform of 1x68 or 1K7 J. Laughter. J They have never made a promise in which the interosts of this country have been involved that they have kept. There is no great measuro of public polloy which has contributed to the growth and the prosperity of the nation that that party has originated or favored. In all Its long career for the last thirty years there is no measure ot that character which that party has not diabolically and demagogically and unanimously opposed. Is there any one in this large and splendid audience, in this old, splendid city of Boston, made memorable by the present, and sanctified in the hearts of all our people by the tender and sacred recollections of tho revolution is there a single one of you, glorying in tho greatness of our country, ot its past, its present, ann in the sublime hope and promise of its future is there a single one of you that can point mc to one single tiling within the last quarter of a century that this Democratic party has ever done or attempted to do, from which you as citizens draw any pride, or from the doing of whioh the country would have drawn any honor? Can you point mo to one single great event in our history which makes up our patrimony and our heritage as a people that that party has not infernally opposed? ILaughter and applause.) Now that Is a dreadful question, it is a solemn inquiry, and tho dreadlnl faet of the matter is, that there is not one single instance, not one. Now, fellow-citizens, tho Rcpubliom party, whose advo-.ate in a very small way I am tonight, has never made a great promise that it has not religlon-dy performed. (Applause.) Its promise of to-day is tho statute of to-moirow, and its platform of to-day ripens into the fundamental law of to-morrow. (Applause.)

I propose, for your information, to read it to you, for it Is not long. It is something now, fresh, has nothing of the mildew ot age about it, and quite in the nature of a discovery. Laughter.) Gov.

There is nobody hero who will montion what I am going to pay outside, but did you over see ono of these washed-out Republicans who had faded into the Democratic party, sort of melted in, so to speak, that ever bragged about being a Democrat? Langhter. I never did. Ho was always proclaiming the fact that at one timo he was something liotter. He used to be a Republican laughtcrl; like the decayed gentility you see in old States, that has seen better days, a little raveled out at the edges and run down at the heel, hut there are hero and there marks which show that originally the goods were jaluahle. Laughter. He was an Abolitionist, ho says, when Logan was voting the Democratic ticket Now thore is a place where the Indeixmdents and their allies the Dcmocratlo party aro entlroly agreed. It is astonishing Mr. Chairman, how shocked these Independents aro that Logan onco voted tho Democratic ticket. Hendricks voted the Democratic ticket once before the war, since the war, and now. Is it, after all. really the question when a man began to bo an apostle half as much as it is how long he held out? (Applause. Who began first, Judas or Saul of Tarsus? Judas, I think; and think of Judas running around in tbat Democratic region of his daughter, jingling those thirty i icces ot silver that he had got from tho Democratic committee in his hands as the price of joining the party ot purity and reform, and claiming that be, although not one now, was a Christian long heforo the scales fell from tho eyes of tho magnificent old Saul of Tarsus. Laughter. John A. Logan did vote tho Democratic ticket; but the first shot which exploded on the walls of Sumter drove from him every spark of Democratic faith, and in the flame aud thunder of battle ho made himself the peerless soldier of the war for tho Union. Great applause. 1 Take from tho history of this country lor the last twouty-nve years the solid achievement and you makes

EX-SENATOR GRADY. His Address Before the Tiuiiinauy Council Whjr He Bolts Cleveland.

(New York telegram. Ex-Senator Grady, rising to protest against the passage of the resolution and the adoption of the address, modi-along speech. ller.viewed the whole iliticnl career of Cleveland, and quo'.-'d freely from tho columns of the Tune and the IJeralit in the post in support of the IHisitieii he (Gradyi had now taken. In the course of his speech Giady said: Neither in the nomination ot the ticket nor in I he methods by which it was brought about is there the slightest claim upon tho great body of Democratic voters for its support. The great majority of the delegates to the convention who named Cleveland as their first choice represented Republican coititnencics. The number of deb-gales who openly and earnestly opposed his nomination were r. corded, in spite ot all their protests, as favorable to his candidacy. Every influence that could Do employed or engineered by the monopolists who havo secured conirol ot the party management was exerted to make him the candidate, and. as you well know, the delegates who left their homos loud in their professions of hostility to his candidncy as inviting certain defeat to the party gave evidence soon alter their arrival at Chicago ot a change of heart, which only the most simple and charitable have ascribed to pure and worthy motives. The expressed design of men who urged his nomination was to conciliate disgruntled Republicans, not to please Democrats. Preserving to myself the supreme right of a citizen exercising an act of sovereignty, I decline to prostitute my prerogative to the purposes of party managers. Suffrage has ltccu liestowed on me by the institutions of my country that it may bo exercised for the country's welfare. To tl.e prosperity and benefit of this land I dedicate it, and I can not reconcile without desecration anv disposition of it that would result In the support of the political nondescript, clothed in the outward garb of a Democrat, ignorant of the cardinal principles of the political faith which he assumes to Protest, and accepting from Democrats their votes that he may delight Republicans and Independents by the manner In which ho will exercise the rowers conferred upon him by a liet rayed and deluded party. Bnt my vote will not lie lost to the Democracy. It will be cast for the candidate whose followers will be numbered by hundreds of thousands, whose motives can not be imrjugued, tor their action can not be inspired by selfish hopes of reward. It will be registered for the principles which the Democratic party professed when it held popular confidence, and for abandoning which it lost popular support. It will lie siven for the candidate who has no hope of election and no desire lor sordid benefits, for political preferment, bnt who braves fatigue, abuse, and pecuniary loss tbat true Democrats may find his candidacy a channel through which they may express their sentiments. I turn my liack on the Democratic party, captured aud betrayed by Know-nothing demagogues hungry tor places and spoils, to join tho pure Democracy which struggles for principles which the party organization has abandoned. I denounce the candidate whose only merit is his obsenrity that I may lollow a statesman whose life has made glorious the history of his country. 1 decline to bow down before a graven image because 1 prefer to follow the teachings of the apostle of the true imlitical altu. Preferring shining ability to dull mediocrity, a true reformer to a sham reformer, a statesman to a hangman, an illustrious citizen to a political adventurer, 1 decline to support Grover Cleveland for tho Presidency, and here and now, in the i resence of a leader whom I have always regarded as my political sponsor, in the midst of brethren and comrades with whom I havo share I manv hard-fought battles in the political field, and before the eyes of all the country, to whom I have this night laid bare my motives mid purposes, I declare myself In favor of Bcnjamiu F. Butler, soldier, jurist, statesman, and patriot, and 1 appeal to time lor my vindication.

A BLAISE MAX.

Why tho President of a St. Louis Ititnk

Supports tiro Republican Ticket. Mr. S. H. Lnflin, the well-known powder manufacturer and President of the St. Louis National Bank, has just returned from tho East, where he paid some attention to political matters. Ho is a prominent Democrat, but in conversation with a Chicago TrUmur correspondent at tho Southern he said : " I am a Blaine man. All my family and most of my employes are for Cleveland, but I am a Blaine man through and through. I don't oppose Cleveland because ot that scandal no, tlr. No, there is nothing in the scandal that ought to lower Cleveland in anybody's estimation, but he is not a tit person for the Presidency. He has not got the brains. He wears a No. in collar and a No. 8 hat. and beyond that you cannot say anything tor him. Blaine is a man of nerve, a brainy man, a statesman, and he shall have my vote. Every roan with whom I conversed while In the East Tavorcd the election of Blaine. These men wfcro mostly manufacturers, and represented tho great Industries of the country. They said they would feci safer with Blaine at the helm." St. Louis special. More Opnostugr Views. From the Milwaukee Evening Visconsln.l The first Republican National Convention ever held (in IsMii adopted a platform in which occurred the following: That as our Republican fathers, when they had alwlishcd slavery in all our national territory, ordained that no pirson should be deprived of life, lilwrty or property without due process ot law, it becomes cur duty to maintain this provision ot tho Constitution against all attempts to violate it, for purposes of establishing slavery in any Territory ol the United States. It is both the right and the duty of Congress to prohibit in tho Territories those twin relics of barbarism polygamy and slavery. In the national convention platform adopted by the Democracy in lase are found these resolutions relating to slavery, which were also adopted by the Democratic National Convention of lrtW: Uesoleed, Thatall efforts of the Abolitionists, or others, made to induce Congress to interfere with questions of slavery, or to take incipient steps with relation thereto, are calculated to lead to the most alarming and dangerous consequences. Jlrsnlre-J, That the Democratic party wil resist all at'.empts at renewing, in Congress or out of it, the agitation of tho Blavory question, under whatever shape or color the attempt may bo made. But slavery is a dead issue, says the Democratic objector to theso quotations from bis partv record. True enough. Yet the old attitude ot the national Democracy toward slavery is exactly reproduced in its admitted attitude toward polygamy to-day.

Great calculations were bated npon the aunonuooment of TUiul C. Pound's somersault. It is said the gentleman himself prophesied a political cyclone would sweep over Wisconsin, and is disgusted that tho mill streams did nut run dry and business generally snsppud. Ho sees now what tt uniiill dot he makes in a world of busy, thinking mm. A little Now York gamin was iersnaded to como inlcf school and a good lady was teaching him the pauses

tu his reading, "mat, my little boy, is an interrogation mark, and that is a comma, mid this is a period." "A what?" broke in the boy. "I'll botcher a dollar, nia'nni, that's it fly-spook." Thad evidently had an idea that he would writo a period after tho Republican party, but people are already begiuuiug to bet it was only "a fly-speck." Chicago Inter l)ccan. Mb. Alexander Mitchell, the Milwaukee inilroad king, who is now in New York, ridicules the claims of tho Democrats of Wisconsin that they can carry that .Statu for Cleveland. Mr. Mitchell says there has been some defection from the Repulilicau ranks among tho liei'man-Americans of tho State, bnt IhiBls eompensnted by defections from tho ranks of the Democracy. ExCongressman William Pitt Iiynde, also of Milwaukee, fays thttt Uluine is the strongest man the Republicans eonld have nominated, lie is particularly strong among tho yonug men.

BARM NOTES.

Tun Republican State Central Oommittoo of Now York has notified the National Republican Committee that it will bo able to get along without any outside financial aid. The Slulo Committee can raise nil the funds needed for the Hncoeseful prosecution of the canvass. Owing to the attitude of tho Irish-Americans, the commilteo is confident that the Empire Slate will givo a good round majortity for tho Republican national ticket. Tho only Irish-Americans who will vote for Clevelnnd in New York belong to tho onioo-hoUling and buronier oleruout.

The President of tho ?Tow Jorsoy Horticultural Society is credited with saying he has found that fifteen pounds of" grapes per vino bring moro iiioaoy than thirty ponnds. I.f.aks in roofs, about chimneys, and elsowhore, may bo stopped by thickening white-lead paint with fino, clean sand. Openings aro easily fi led with this cement and become durably watertight. M.Eiiri-Ki7Ei apples will, as a rule, keep longer than large, overgrown ones of tho samo variety, or tho smaller ones, which havo failed to perfect their growth becauso of being shaded in a thick top. A foBHESi'ONiiF.NT says that the best moans of removing moss and earth accumulations from an old shingle roof is to sprinkle lime freely along the comb of tho roof aud let the rains dissolve and carry it over tho shingles. A Kew Kncland dairymaid saya: "Sour your cream before churning, and havo it as near (i2 degrees as you can, and yon will have no trouble. Tho iirst fail wo had the Cooley wo had ono churning that would not come into butter. I found it was perfectly aweet. Since then I have been particular to have it ripo, and have had no trouble." Puof. Cook, after trying pyrethrum without success, found kerosene on ofioctivo remedy for the squash bug. Tho kerosene was well mixed with rive times its bulk of soap suds, or, better, with the same proportion of sour milk, and driven with force on the bugs with Whitman's fountain pump. Merely sprinkling does not answer, as the heavy 'wings shield the insects. Prof. Shelton, of the Kansas Agricultural College, says a fortune awaits the man who invents a good, cheap farm-mill. But ho adds that it must do moro than "merely crack the grain and break cobs into inch-sqnaro chunks." He has taken pains to get the opinions of a large number of stockraisers who uso much ground and crushed feed, aud "all agree that the machines now in vogue are awkward, unreliable, and easily broken." Bedding-plants may be started in boxes kept in the kitchen to better advantage than in a hot-bed. Boxes that have contained raisins aro well adapted to tho purpose. They should be nearly filled with old manure and soil that is free from foul seeds, and fastened to a window-sill where the light will reach thorn. After the plants have made a good growth the boxes may be taken out of doors during warm days. Uv that means the plants become gradually fitted for exposure. The best writers on poultry matters give great prominence to warmth for tho young of all kinds of fowls, and we know by experience that it is very important. We have often saved young chickens and turkeys that had got chilled in the grass by daw or a shower, and were apparently lifeless, by dipping them into a dish of warm water and wrapping them' in warm flannel till they were dry. Warm water penetrates the feathers at once and warms the body, while it would take a long time to warm through tho oold, wet feathers by dry heat. It is authoritatively stated that tho merinos of Spain aro divided into two classes, according to tho manner of their keeping. One class is called the traveling or migratory, because the sheep aro moved from pasture lo pasture, taking advantage of the seasons, quality aud quantity of foliage and of

other favorable circumstances, sheep

of the other class, the stationary, aro

left at different stations nil tho year round, and are more or less pampered,

so that thev fall much behind the other

class in the matter of health and con

stitutional vigor. Flora is peculiarly sensitive to atmospheric influences : hence it should

never bo stored in a room with sour liquids, nor where onions or fish are

kept, nor any article that taints the air of the room in which it is stored. Any smell perceptible to the senso will bo absorbed in the flour. Avoid damp cel

lars or lofts where a free circulation of

air ran not be obtained. Keep in a cool, dry, airy room, and not expose to a freezing temperature, nor to intenso summer or to artificial heat for any length of timo above 70 to 75 deg. Fahrenheit. It should not come in contact with grain or other substances which are liable to heat. Flour should bo sifted, and tho particles thoroughly disintegrated and then warmed before baking. This treatment improves tho color and baking properties of the dough. The sponge should be prepared for tho oven as soon as the yeast has performed its mission, otherwise fermentation sots in and acidity results. Salt for Cattle. Some persons contend that cattle do not need salt naturally, and in many instances whore deprived of it thrive better than when allowed to eat all they wish of salt. Such teachings as these, as well as many profound ideas promulgated weekly in a so-called farm paper, lack the first principles of honest cow sense. Though this opinion is the exact opposite of the experience of practical stock men throughout the country, still some very smart writers still argue they are righf. Cattle themselves ignore all snch teachings, and will willingly submit to the severest treatment in their eagerness to get salt, and more especially when they are kept on green food. Other animals in their wild state evince an appetite for salt, showing it to be a natural

and not an acquired habit, nor one cansed by the artificial mode of lifo to whioh nearly all our domesticated animals ae subjected. It is known that salting cattle once or twice a week throughout the year, and especially during tho summer, is highly beneficial, and all observers know it is grateful to their palates, as is demonstrated by the regularity with which they will seek it at tliej stated places of fcediug, and the avidity with which it is Avoured. In sections where salt springs are plenty cattle will instinctively herd around, and on the shores of the ocean or salt lakes salt does not need bo fed, bnt iu inland States, where cattle and sheep are kept, wo must, to have healthy animals, keep them liberally supplied with salt. A very superficial knowledge of animal physiology and chemistry proves conehisivoly tha1', generally speaking, our native and cultivated cattle foods aro sadly dotteiont in tho amount of sodio chloride actually needed by animals, in order that thoy may properly and oeonoini .'ally assimilate! heir food. Salt, then, though perhaps a 1 usury to the animals themselves, amounts to a positive necessity wh.m viewed as it should be in relation to its

action on tooas aotlcient, m tins eiemen j, as nearly al pur forage plants ore, J

when eaten by them. We venture the assertion that sheep, for instance, would live longer and thrivo bettor

without water than wiyiout f-ait. In feeding salt wooden troughs should be 1 supplied, arranged in such a manner as to keep out rain water, and kept filled : so tho animals, strong and weak, can

get at it any time. Er. DOMESTIC RECIPES.

Fhesh HEnntNGS. Prepare as ' for conger eel sonp, but omit the onions, putting plenty of finely chopped parsley instead, a few allspice berries and popper corns, with salt to taste, thicken well with flour ; five minutes after thoy havo boiled will cook them ; serve with potatoes or bread. Vinegar in small quantities when served adds to the flavor. To Fnv Plaice. Clean and divide as for boiling, wipo each piece separate with a clean dry cloth, sprinkle flour on both sides, put as much dr.'pping or lard as yon can afford into your pan and stand it over a good but not too fierce Are, let it boil until it smokes, then gently slide in your fish, moving it about a little to prevent it sticking, took live minutes, then turn, in another five it will be done. Take it np and lay on a strainer (if you have one), if not, tilt your dish np a little, that will answer the same purpose ; be very careful and not break your fish, as that will spoil its appearance. Flocnders on Dabs. Gut, take off the heads clean, dry and dredge with flour as above, do not divide them, bnt cook them whole, oxactly the same as above. To fry fish properly there ought to be sufficient fat to cover them nicely, but this is almost out of the question with persons of very limited means. Whiting Baked. Scrape, gut and rub well with salt inside, as well as outside, wash them thoroughly and wipe them very dry. Take a little parsley chopped very fine, a pinch of sweet herbs, pepper, salt, with a few bread crumbs and a piece of good, sweet dripping, about an ounce to each fish ; mix all well together and fill the bellies of your fish with the seasoning, lay them in a dish deep enough to hold them properly, a bit of dripping about the size of a walnut in the bottom of the dish will prevent them sticking. Bake in a moderate oven. This is a nice, tasty dish at very little cost. If an egg could be afforded and mixed with the seasoning, it would make it both richer and firmer. Fresh Haddocks Cooked and served as above, are delicious. Some persons who are fond of gravies take off tho heads, and, after well washing and removing the eyes, put them in a saucepan, with an onion or not, as the case may be, two or three whole allspices, and same of peppercorns, with a little s tit, and cover with water, letting them boil gently until the bones fall out, then strain and pour over the fish before going to table. It is very

nice, and, to my mind, equally agreeable to tho palate.

Ocbnkt. The head of this fish is

not usually dressed, but thrown away,

as there is some skill required to prepare it for cooking. You had better get the fish vender to do it for yon Dress it exactly as the foregoing recipe

directs, adding a small piece of lemon rind, minced very fine, to the seasoning.

Deviled Crabs. Prepare a dressing

by rubbing the yelks of two hard

boiled eggs into two tablespoon fuls of

vinegar and a small pmcli of cayenne pepper; mustard and a little salt to be added. Be careful to nse only a small amount of salt, tasting to decide when enough. Then stir in the yelk of a law egg well beaten, and the white of the raw egg beaten stiff, and last, the chopped white of the hard-boiled egg. Mix the dressing with the meat thoroughly, wash the shells, and fill them quite full, but bo careful not to press them down hard, as they need to be pnt- in as lightly as possible. Sprinkle the tops with cracker dust, laying a bit of butter over each. Bake till a delicate brown.

Man and Woman. A good man's honest regard is a grand and holy gift, even if sorrow goes with it; no noble womanhood can be without reverence for it, but neither hope, nor joy, nor comfort can be drawn from its counterfeit. A single life has its trials, its loneliness, but it does not contain the possibilites of spiritual degradation whioh an unhappy or mercenary marriage does. To hie free of choice, however, women must bo able to earn a living. If "the borrower is servant to the lender," how much more is she who all her life eats the bread of dependence at the mercy of circumstances. And yet one person who sets out to confront social forces is pretty sure to be a martyr or a failure. There is no grave danger of women crowding men out of professions, except those for which men are unfitted. They will marry when tho right one comes along and shift the burden of their responsibilities npon him. For a man has the advantage of strength, which makes itself felt- in all positions. One might sum up tho matter thus: men are too strong to fight, and women too necessary for wise men to do them an injustice. Women do half the work of tho world, bnt the brave and truehearted among them are too often cast into the shade by tho worthless aud showy an evil that pertains to all mundane society. Not every hero is decorated with laurel; not every poet welcomed is with Reclamation; yet the difference betwcpjKtscess and failure may be a trifle, i. accident of luck. it women have a right to protest against discrimination of their work simply because they are women, they should avoid tho drawing-room notion that thoir sex should shiold them from

learning harsh truths. They should study the bright side of life, and like the Greek, thank the gods they are born in a republic, where, however bad men may be, there are those good enough, and bravo enough, to give a woman friendship which is not a snare.

A tramp who was -refused lodging at a farm-house near IndianapoHs spent tho night in tho orchard, and on having Sunday morning he set fire to strawstack and caused the destrnction of all the outbuildings. On recommendation of the bondsmen, of the late W. S. Lingle, as Postmaster at Lafayette, John G. Samplo has been appointed temporarily to the position, serving under the same bond as that of the deceased Postmaster. The University of Notre Dame has received from the King of Spain a copy of the ancient portrait of Columbus recently found at Madrid, and from a resident of Shanghai a library of Chinese works with Latin translations. The Rev. H. S. Jordan, pastor of the Presbyterian Church at ShelbyviUe, has received a call from the Westminster Presbyterian Church of Chicago at an increased salary. The members of his church are opposed to his leaving them. Tho five-year-old son of Melven Chaateen, who lives near Lexington, was sent to -his father's stable to g:-t a horse. The boy walked np behind the animal and slapped its leg, wheu it kicked the boy with both feet in the breast and face, killing him instantly. The report of the State Geologist shows that there are 2C6 coal mines in nine-' teen different counties of the State, employing 5,400 men, receiving $1,500,000, producing 2,500,000 tons of coal, and requiring a capital of nearly $2,000,000 for their operation. Mary Cassady.an insane woman, board-' ed a train at Muncie, desiring to go to Indianapolis. At Yorktown the conductor put her off, not having money enough to pay her fare.
