The Republicans will meet to-night at headqaarters to appoint committee: etc., for the reception of Hon. James G. Blaine, the Plumed Knight of the United States. Every Republican should be present. |s^

The desperation of the Democracy is frighttul. After inventing and pub lishing the basest slanders about Mr. Blaine they have Btooped low enough to again start the report that his son was engaged to a newspaper man' daughter.

With the cold weather and the indications for a large Republican majority in Ohio becoming better every "day there

sure to be an improvement in

business. In other words seasonable weather and the certain defeat of the Democracy will reassure business men and stimulate trade.

Cleveland by his speeches has given good grounds for the belief that he is so wrapped up in his own greatness that he deems the tariff and other national questions subjects that the people, in their faith in him, should leave to his wisdom without questioning him as to his position on them.

An assessment of 5 per cent, has been made on the employes of the New York state house "to further the interests of Cleveland and reform." A still heavier assessment has been placed upon the employes of the Democratic national house, but George William Curtis does not rend his linen over tnese violations of the civil tervicelaw, "Cause why," George William Curtis iB a hypocrite.

Your Uncle Sammy'sletter is almost as severe a blow to Cleveland as Mr, Hendricks' celebrated letter to his Dubuque friend. Notwithstanding Cleveland was heralded as the heir and successor of Tilden to the "Re' form" racket Tilden does not mention his name, nor in the most indirect manner refer to him. There is no word of endorsement from the man Democrats delight to coll their greatest statesman. Under all the circum stances the Bnub means a great deal

The New York Herald has made a bitter fight on Mr. Blaine. Its circulation according to very good authority has fallen off 50 per cent. Bennett has discharged three-fourths of bis writers and chiefs about the establishment try ing to reach the source of his paper's downfall, and therein he makes a mistake. Let him drive out of himself some of that personal vindictiveness, which is always uppermost in the policy of his papei, and relinquish his un generous and reckless attacks on the most popular man with the people in United States and then the people will not refuse to buy his paper.

In one of his speeches Mr. Blaine said there is no Democratic leader of the present time who will acknowledge that a protective tariff is constitution al. President James Madison, a good Democrat, said in 1828:

A further evidence in support of the constitutional power to protect and foster manufactures by regulations of trade—an evidence that ought in itself to settle the queetionthe uniform and practical sanction given that power for nearly forty years, with a concurrence or acquiescence of every state government throughout the same period, and it may be added through all the vicissitudes of party which marked that period.

Col. Gray at Fort Wayne said the "Democratic party was not in favor of free trade" but he denounced the tariff as "robbery." Senator McDonald at Logansport said, "If the govern ment did not need it I would be opposed to any tariff." The Courier Journal of yesterday said, "Free trade is the inevitable ultimate destiny of the nation." Inasmuch as Gray has not been in the party as long as McDonald or Watterson and inasmuch as four-fifths of the party ar* with these latter spokesmen the com will prefer to believe that the Dem -atic party is in favor of free trade.

all. Yet the free traders in congress at the session before last made a most persistent fight for the redaction of the dnty on lumber. It was claimed that monopolies in Michigan and other northern lumber states were reaping all the benefit from the tariff and the consumer was being compelled to pay tribute to them. There were long span out th'ories on this point yet the fact is beyond dispute that there has been such a decrease in the cost of the manufactured product as instanced by the lumber dealer interviewed by Gath.

Figures taken from official sources and from current quotations showing the comparison in the cost of snbsistance and in wages in England and the United States have been put in pamphlet form for distribution amon& workingmen. Among the prices given are the following: Coal in England/$2.65 to $4.10 per ton injthis country, $3 to $5.25. Roasting beef there, 22 cents per pound here, 12 to 16 cents. Coffee there, 28 to 30 cents here 20 cents to 30 cents. Fresh pork there, 10 to 16 cents here, 8 cents to 10 cents. Bacon there, 12 cents to 16 cents here 8 cents to 14 •cents. Mutton forequarter there, 16 cents to 17 cents here, 9 cents to 10 cents, and so.on. The fact that wages here are from 25 to 50 per cent, higher than in England has been so frequently established that it is no longer denied by those who advocate free trade.

Mr. Lamb found fault with the Republican party because, he said, there had accumulated in the treasury a surplus of $450,000,000, which statement while not at all true, served him to make a point. We desire to call bis attention to two statements, one showing the condition of the treasury July, 1 1861, the condition in which his party left it and the other showing the condition"on July 1,1883.^ Statement of the Condition of the IT. 8. Treasury for the Year ending July 1,1861, Receipts $41,476,299 19 Expenditures by the Government...'. 62,616,055 78 Cash in Treasury 2,862,213 00 Excess of expenditures over receipts.. 21,139,756 28 (or 50 per cent.)

Amount already paid toward extinguishing the Democratic war debt 854,923,179 61

In other words at the end of Democratic rule there had been an excess of expenditure above receipts of 50 per cent. At the end of twenty-two years of Republican rule a war had been fought, peace and prosperty had come to the people, nearly $900,000,000 of the war debt had been paid and there was in the treasury an excess of receipts over expenditures of $243,' 289,520 to apply upon the remainder of that debt.

It is reported from New York that "the Democrats and Independents have prepared to spring on the country on or about Saturday next, through the newspaper channels, so as to affect next Tuesday's election in Ohio, a charge of positive bribery against JameB G. Blaine, with allegations as to receipts, convincing

proofB,

etc. The

Republican national committee have not yet been informed what the charges are specifically, but they imagine they are on a line with the falsehoods that have been circulated about Mr. Blaine ever since the canvass opened." Isn't it patent to every thinking man that if anyone of the many serious charges made against Mr. Blaine could be so well established that a majority of the people believed it to be true there would be no necessity of springing new ones each day of the campaign?- Would not Mr. Blaine's defeat be made so certain that the whole country would realize that it would occur on November 4th. The production of new charges with each day is an admission that those which have gone before have not accom plished their purpose. The extravagant and desperate character of the latest ones gives evidence that this is realized and the baffled fury of men like Beecher, Schurz, Curtis and others who are actuated by personal malice makes them blind even to their own good. Consequently we may expect anything from them, Morey forgeries or what not

•A CalifB# a Mas* Conventtoa at Indianapolis Thursday, October 84—Important Correspondence.

The following correspondence ia self-explanatory: WATSBVUXB, Me., September 25,1884. Hon. B. F. Jonei, Chairman Republican

National Committee, New York City: DXAR

BIB:

TWO thousand Grand

Army Posts have petHioiied1 congress for the enactment of a law granting service pensions to Union soldiers. Through that organization, and in other ways, folly 250,000 veterans have asked for the adoption of that measure. On behalf of these petitioners, I desire to invite the attention of your committee to this subject.

None appreciate more fully or acknowledge more* heartily than do the Union veterans, th&t the United StateB government has most liberally treated our comrades who Buffer from wounds or other manifest physical injury, but the fact remains that a very large percentage of low grade disability pension claims are rejected, because of the impossibility of obtaining the evidence required by the stringent rules of the pension office, and this operates very unfairly to the majority of meritorious claimants whose claims have been rejected, or which are now pending.

The almost universal penalty paid by the veterans who performed arduous field service, marched to exhaustion, exposed to extremes of heat and cold, subjected to malaria in the swamps of the south, where they lay at times for months, was impaired health, broken constitutions, lowered vitality, exhausted energies snd shortened lives. While all this is painfully apparent to themselves, it may not always be manifest to medical examination made at the present day. Such examination cannot determine the physical deterioration of men from what their condition would now be if they had not rendered faithful service in the field.

It is a fact that not one man in a thousand came from the war' uninjured by his service.

This is the main ground upon which our claims for service pensions rest. WIB waive the question of

claims to

the gratitude of the republic, the unfairness in the failure to equalize bounties, the paying of monthly pay mainly in forty-cent dollars, and ask simple jtnstice to those who have given to the country much" for which they have not received an equivalent.

I trust the reasons adduced will warrant your committee, representing the great national party which has stood as our friend in the past, in extending your aid to the Union veterans in their efforts to secure a recognition of their claim to justice. Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

F. W. HASKELL.

COMM'TEE,242

NEW YOKK

AVE.,

CITY, Sept. 27, 1884.

Major F. W. Haskell, Waterville, Me. DEAR SIB:

The Republican national

committee have directed us to say, in reply to vour letter of the 25th

inBt.

that the Republican party favors to-day as in the past, full and substantial justice and liberality to the men who by their sufferings and sacrifices saved the Union, and we point with pride to the fact that it was the Republican party which sustained you while in the fieild, and which has provided liberally for the families of those who fell. The national committee is not able to say that the party will favor the indiscriminate pensioning of all the survivors on tne same basis, without regard to the character of the service rendered, time of Bervice, or its effect upon them. But we do feel authorized to say that whenever the authorized representatives of tne soldiers Bhall have matured a plan by which pensions may be given to all who rendered adequate service, or are now in need, the past record of the'Reptiblican party is ample assurance that such a measure will have its unqualified support. Respectfully,

B. F. JONES, Chairman

SAMUEL

FESSENDEN, Secretary.

NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 1, 1884

To My Comradcf, the Unoin Veterans of the Late War: In your behalf, authorized by the Boston Veteran's committee, I have brought the Bubject of service pensions to the notice of the national committees of both of the great political parties.

Gen. Butler, the candidate of the people'r parly, has already publicly ex pressed himself as strongly favorable to a most generous policy in this di rection.

I found the Democratic national committee unwilling to make an offi cial declaration on this subject, al though, bearing a very kind intro ductory letter from Gen. Collins, of Boston, I received the utmost personal courtesy.

I have no doubt, however, that my brother war Democrats of the Union forces, in whose brave hands the flag was always safe, will speak as a unit on this subject, and to their especial attention 1 address my. words, asking their zealous co-operation in the work in hand.

The Republican national committee desired to make an expression, and it is herewith presented to you.

I place this correspondence and statement of facts before my comradfes, and address them not as one in authority, but simply as a comrade, exercising the unquestioned ri^ht which every man has, to speak to his fellows upon subjects of common concern.

Knowing that every veteran in the land we love and which we saved from disunion, shares with me the deepest solicitude for the best interests of our brother soldiers, and feeling that this subject of just pensions to those who sorely need add richly deserve them is, to us, a principle as hit above and beyond partisan politics as the stars above the earth, I suggest that we assemb'e together in mass convention at Indianapolis, Indiana, (a central I leographical point), on Thursday, October 24th, at 12 o'clock, m., and them discuss this question in a self-respect-ing, temperate and patriotic spirif, and choose a representative committee, into whose hands may be authoritatively given the Subject of pensions, With instructions to urge" before congress, by all honorable means, such measures as may be deemed jost. Recognizing in our deliberations the fact that all public measures must depend for success upon a favorable public opinion—it will be our duty to present our reasons and arguments, to listen thoughtfully to suggestions from the press and people, to weigh well all facts and take such action concerning an amended pension law as will appeal to the fair, candid and generous judgment of the country at large, and secure for it popular support Let this convention be, in the broadest sense, representative of all Union veterans, regardless of party, creed, color, rank or soldier society organizations, none

of which latter contain a majoQ&y of the Union soldiers and sailors. To this meeting all comrades, whether members of the G. A. R., Union Veteran Army, Boys in Blue, Loyal Legion, or kindred organizations, and those belonging to none, are most fraternally invited.

Observation and experience has taught us that at such a time as the present—shortly before important elections, the public sense is alert, sympathetic ana responsive. It is, of all times, the fittest to test the merits of any public measure.

It nas been usual for sach a call as this to bear the names of many distinguished generals, but the present occasion seems so clearly to demand and expression from the great body of veterans themselves, not from a few leaders, that I put forth this call, confident that my comrades, influenced by the idea involved, more than the signatures of any men, however £ninent, will respond, and themselves direst and control this, their own movement, and their own convention.

All who approve this movement are requested to immediately communicate the fact to me at the Sturtevant bouse, New York City, that a roll of names may be prepared and published which shall command the respect of the entire country. F. W, HASKELL.

Mugwump and Gosh.

In the language of the Indians of Massachusetts and Connecticut, "mugquomp" (or, as now written "mugwump") means, literally, "great man." It was the title of a captain or superior officer. In Elliot's Indian Bible it stands for "captain," and in one passage (Gen. xxxvi. 40-43], for "duke" of the authorized version. ^'Gosh" is the Indian word used by Elliot to represent the Deity hence the use of this word as an exclamation or oath by the the pious Puritans.

A POSITIVE CURE For Every Form of Skin and Blood Disease,from Pimples to Scrofula.

I have bad the Psoriasis for nine months. Abont five months ago I applied to a doetor near Boston, who helped me, but unfortunately I had to leave, but continued taking his medicine for nearly three, months, but the disease did not leave. I saw Mr. Carpenter's letter In the Philadelphia Reoord, and his ease perfectly deibed mine. 1 tried the CtrrictraA RKXEss, using two bottles of RESOLVKKT, and CCTICURA and CCMCURA SOAP in proportion, and call myself completely cured.
