In Bloomington the German Democratic vote has been comparatively small, and such a thing as a German Democratic organization was not known there. Now there is a German Cleveland and Hendricks club numbering over 750 voters. All of them formerly voted the Republican ticket. —Bloomington (ZZI.) dispatch. A weekly journal at Pittsburg, called the Commoner, conducted solely by colored politicians, states that a secret movement is on on foot among the negro voters of Allegheny County to join hands with the Democrats. Colored men who were interviewed by the newspaper named generally agreed that the step should have been taken years ago. Gen. Rosecrans has returned from a tour of the soldiers’ homes of the country as the head of the Congressional committee looking into their condition. His visit through the country has given him excellent opportunities of observation, and he says that in the Northwest the Germans are flocking to Cleveland, and he has no doubt of his election.— Washington telegram. All my information, personal and official, through conversations, correspondence, and the press, regarding not only the city and. State of New York, but the whole country, and especially the sections where the num-{ ber of German citizens is large, makes me! absolutely sure of the election of Cleveland. — Oswald Ottendorfer, of the Newi York Staats-Zeitung,

Hon. George H. Monroe, better known to newspaper readers through his famous political letters signed “Templeton,” has resigned his position as editor on the Boston Saturday Evening Gazette, after thirteen years and a half of service. The resignation was simply because Mr. Monroe does not believe Blaine to be worthy of support, and, therefore, rather than write for Blaine he has resigned. The Sunday Regulator, which is the recognized organ of the working people in the manufacturing city of Cohoes, has just come out for Cleveland. In an editorial it gives its preference for Cleveland because he if a better man in a moral sense than Blaine, because he is the most true and honest friend of the workingman, and because it believes he would be the firmer friend of Ireland and the Irish people.— New York telegram. Mr. James McHale, of Pittston, Pa., writes as follows to John Devoy, the editor of the Irish Nation: “I firmly believe that Cleveland and Hendricks will get the votes of althonest Irishmen, all true friends of Ireland, and all genuine Catholics who, under no circumstances, will follow you, the ■ editor of the Irish Nation, into the Republican camp to vote for James Gillespie Blaine, ex-leader of Know-nothings, and the apostate son of a pious Catholic mother.”
