Associated Press report from Evansvilie Wednesday night: "Mr. Blaine *u leave to-morrow for Lafayette, stopping at intermediate points."

Mr. Blaine in his last two or three speeches has referred to the solid south. Mr. Blaine kcows what kind of political faith si uppermost in Indiana.

The man from Maine, the man who knows enough to know that the best interests of the country are subserved by a protective tariff, which policy is threatened by a solid 60utb, is about the kind of a man the Republicans here want to vote for on No7ember4th.

There may be "intermediate points" between Evansville and Lafayette, but we will wager a Blaine and ogan hat there is but one that will surpass either of the places named, or Indianapolis for that matter, in the magnitude or enthusiasm of the demonstration gotten up for an hour's stay.

It was the universal (and unpartisan) opinion that the demonstration yester day went far beyond anything of the kind ever known in western Indiana, There is only one complaint heard, and that is from all sides, regarding the blunder of the state committee in putting Terre Ilaute down as an "intermediate point."

If anyone.was in doubt about the numbers and the enthusiasm of the Republicans in western Indiana and eastern Illinois thaf doubt was removed yesterday. The simple announcement in the Express that Mr. Blaine would be here was sufficient to bring to the city the largest crowd that ever assem bled in Terre Haute.

time allowed Mr. Blaine

for Terre Haute disappointed many many thousand persons hearing him at the depot and they turned back from their march to that locality after the procession was over when they learned that the state committee's schedule had started the distinguished guest toward Brazil and Greencastle.

If there ever was an instances of the greatness of the people in controlling the political fortunes of this country it was manifested yesterday. The general public, the loyal farmer and the hard working candidate, the tireless laborer and the man of wealth ioined in making public expression of their fealty to the party which, more nearly than all others, has in its care their good or bad fortune.

Rejoice and make merry, oh! Republicans but if James G. Blaine is elected president, and there is an attempt within the next four years to curb the power of Jay Gould's Western Union telegraph company, or of any of the giant railroad rings, blame only yourselves when you find that some way or another your efforts are futile.—Gazette.

When the employes of the Western Union Telegraph company were on a strike the Gazette was very halting in joining the general demand of the public against the monopoly. The Gazette is the only daily Democratic newspaper in this part of the state that has been and is conducting its relations with workingmen on the basis of opposition to a labor union, and which pays less than the regulation price for its labor. While it is not warranted in its charge that Mr. Blaine will favor the Western Union Telegraph company or any other monopoly, the Gazette is, considering all circumstances, the last newspaper that should assail Mr. Blaine as one who is not friendly to the workingmen.

The election in Ohio broke the Democratic political slate. A careful observer can see no hope for Grover Cleveland in this campaign. It will not do the Democrats harm to figure on the probable result, and perhaps their minds will flow in the same channef as the Republicans on the out come. There are states that the Democrats will carry without question. They are, with their electoral votes, as fol lows: Alabama 10 Missouri 16 Arkansas 7 North Carolnia 11 Delaware 3 South Carolina 9 Florida 4 Tennessee 12 Georgia 12 Texas 13 Kentucky 13 Virginia. 12 Louisiana 8 West Virginia 6 Maryland 8 Mississippi 9 Total 153

The sure Republican states are: Colorado 3 New Hampshire Illinois 22 Ohio. 28 Iowa 13 Oregon 3 Kansas 9 Pennsylvania 30 Maine 6 Bhode Island 4 Massachusetts 14 Vermont 4 Michigan .18 Wisconsin 11 Minnesota 7 Nebraska 4 Total 174 Nevada 8

The doubtful states are as follows: California. 8 New Jersey 9 Connecticut 6

New York

Tw^inno 15 Total 74

There are 401 votes in the electoral college, requiring 201 to elect. The Democrats have 153 sure votes, 48 less than a majority. The Republicans have 27 to gain to make a majority. If the Republicans carry Indiana, California and Connecticut they will elect Mr. Blaine, or if they carry New York and lose all the other doubtful states they will elect him. California is set down solid for Mr. Blaine. The Democrats acknowledge this. This increases the Republican" vote to 182, requiring 19 more votes. If they carry Indiana or New Jersey, Indiana and Connecticut, or New York, they will be successful. The' Democrats must carry New York and Indiana. But if

they should lose Indiana and carry New York and Connecticut and New Jersey, they would be successful. A cirefnl study of the above figures will xhnw how hopeless the Democratic race is, and if they are successful, what a fight they will have-to make.

JAMES G-BLAISE.

The following which is from the Gazette of yesterday we commend most heartily to onr readers:

He is one of the most brilliant debaters the American congress ever had upon its floor. He is one of the most companionable and heartiest men according to the testimony of all who ever knew him. He is wonderfully well informed. His memorial address in congress on James A. Garfield, despite some historical inaccuracies is one of the most tender and touching tributes to the memory of a man that ever fell from human lips and is worthy to rank with the classics of the land. His book, the first volume of which has already been published, is a master piece and is worthy of a place in every library. All these things the Gazette bears witness to as cheerfully and with as muoh enthusiasm a) any of the many men who are in town to-day to see him. r•* More than this the Gazette is grateful to him for a matter about which many differ and in which few go the length that this paper does, This paper is deeply grateful to him for going into the Chicago convention four years ago, albeit his motive was a selfish one, and knocking doirn and dragging out by the heels Grant and his insolent third term agents who meant, to our thinking- to destroy the liberties of the people. Tome of those third term conspirators live in Terre Haute. 60 of all the multitude in town to-day James

G. Blaine has none who more thoroughly than the Gazette admire his many brilliant and ex cellent qualities.

We commend the above, coming as it does from a Democratic, newspaper whose unrelrability as an organ is based upon the fact that it has not at times accepted the men put on its ticket by the Democratic bosses. A partisan newspaper that is in the habit of repudiating the candidates of it« own party from a convietion that thev are not the best men for the'places for which they are nominated gives evidence that it will not always be bound by the restraints of a party organ. The above from the Gazette is therefore a frank declaration, and is nothing more than that the "mrst brilliant of debaters," "most companionable and heartiest of men," a man "wonderfully well in formed," one who is capable of evolving "one of the most tender and touching tributes to the memory of man that ever fell from human lips," has demanded by bis attributes and obtained a just recognition from one who is opposed to him in this national con test.

But after bestowing upon Mr. Blaine fully a3 much praise as he ever received from his warmest admirer, and all of his admirers are and ever have been enthusiastic admirers of his great worth, the Gazette yields to its party whip and resorts to the common charge that Mr. Blaine is a tool of the monop oliBts. Beyond the Mulligan letters the Gazette offers no testimony in support of its charge. And these Mulligan letters, well the Gazette has printed them before yesterday, it has them in "plate" no doubt, and, aB on yesterday, occasionally scatters them among the slop-shop stuff it furnishes its readers. It does not believe enough in the Mull'gan letters to pay the printers la its own office for the labor of setting the type for them. They are used as "chuck" in many in stances, and yesterday were "dumped' in for the want of something more convincing, more authoritative and of better effect to meet the enthusiasm of the people for the man whose history of twenty years in congress the Gazette is forced to admit is a "masterpiece," and whose character is eulogized in the language we have quoted above,

BLAINE AND CLEVELAND.

There is no occasion for an apology from a newspaper for failure to quote frequently from Cleveland's state papers or from anything-that he has written, because he has furnished the public nothing from which such quotations could be made. There are those who differ with us in the explanation of this, and who hold that we are prejudiced when we declare that the man's short experience in public affairs, together with# his lack of breadth of statesmanship, render him in capable of forming an opinion, much less giving expression to it, that would be worthy of public remark. In every instance wherein he has made a speech or written a letter for public perusal, sines he became the nominee of his party for the presidency, and nothing previous ever attracted attention, he has, to use the homely but expressive phrase, put his foot in it. He is poverty stricken in the use of the English language, and by each of his effusions he increases the belief that his mind is as wretchedly poor in ideas or sentiment as his words are in the expression of them. His letter to Mrs. Beecher sent out ty telegraph for yesterday morning's paper we reprint for the purpose of calling attention to the mock sentiment in it, to the rasping violations of the most ordinary usageB of the language and to exhibit it as an evidence of the fact that the man does not rise to the occasion which has brought him before the people, a fact, it may be said, that has long since consigned him to the position as being the greatest nonenity of a presidential campaign. The letter is as follows:

DXAB MBS. BKBCHXB—Your

you may well suppose, has affected me deeply. What shall I say to ens who write* so like my mother. I say so like my mother, but I don't altogether mean that, for she died in the belief that her son was as true and noble as she knew he was dutiful and kind. I am shocked and dumbfounded by the clipping that yon send me, because it purports to give what a man actually knows and not mere report as the other four or five lies do which 1 have heard about my life in Albany. I have never seen any living woman whom I have any Teason to suspect waa in any way bad. I do not know where any such woman lives in Albany. I have not been in a house except the executive mansion, the executive chamber, the first Orange club home, twice at receptions given, and on, I think, two other occasions, and the residences of perhaps fifteen or twenty of the

beat citizcoa to din^M Of course I haven't besD to i*""* There never was a man wtm baa worked harder or more hours in the day. Almost all my time has been spent in the executive chamber, and I hardly think there has been twenty nights in the twenty-one months that I have lived in Albany, trnleu I vrM oat of town, that I have left my work earlier thaa midnight to find my bed at the mansion. I am at a loss to know how it is raok terrible, wicked and utterly baseless liee can be invented. The oontemptible oieataree who coin and pass these thing* appear to think that the affair whichVI have not denied, make* me defenseless against any and all slanderers. As to my outward life in Buffalo, the manifestation of confidence and attachment which was there tendered me must be proof that I have not lead a disgraceful life in that city, and as to my life in Albany, all statements that tend to show that it has been other than laborious and correct are utterly and in every shadow untrue.

In contrasting tho two candidates it is with a sense of pride that one recalls the volumes, in speeches, pamphlets, books, etc., which have come from Mr. Blaine. In the public life of no national man have we had so much as from him and in all of his utterances no flaw is found. In fact his opponents and bitterest enemies turn from his public utterances in dispair and rage, finding that he

In his eulogy of Garfield, Mr. Blaine in 1881, unwittingly, but most aptly described his own relations to the campaign of 1884 as follows: Ne might nor greatness in immortality Can censure 'scape backwounding calumny The whitest virtue strikes. What king so strong Can tie the gall up in the slanderous tongue.

In this connection it will be interesting to call to mind one passage from Blaine's matchless eulogy on GarfieH. Mr. Blaine said:

One aspect of Garfield's oandidacy was unDrecedented. Never before in the history of partisan contests in this oonntry had a successful presidential candidate spoken freely on passing events and current issues. To attempt anything of the kind seemed novel, rash, and even desperate. The older class of voters recalled the unfortunate Alabama letter, in which Mr. Clay was supposed to have signed his political death-warrant. They remembered also the hot-tempered effusion by which Gen. Scott lost a large share of his popularity before his nomination and the unfortunate speeohea which rapidly consumed the remainder. The younger voters had seen Mr. Greeley, in a series of vigorous and original addresses, preparing the pathway for his own defeat. Unmindful of these warnings, unheeding the advice of friends Garfield spoke to large crowds as he journeyed to and from New York in August, to the great multitude in that city, to delegations and deputations of every kind that called at Mentor during the summer and autumn. With innumerable critics, watchful and eager to catch a phrase that might be turned into odium or ridicule, or a sentence that might be distorted to his own or his party's injury, Garfield did not trip or halt in any of his seventy speeches.

SECRETARY ORES HAM.

Abstract of Bis Speech at tbe Meeting of the New York Baslaea* Mea.v. Haw York Special.

Secretary Gresham was enthusiastically cbeerec when he advanced to the front of the platform. He read hiB speech from manuscript He stated at the outset that Oct 1, 1884, there was a balance in the government treas ury of $454,475,155, exclusive of minor Coin, but after deducting the amounts required to be set aside by constitutional provisions, there remained a balance in the clear of onyl $143,234,041. The present prosperous condition of the government was due to Republican management. Mr. Gresham then said: "Honest, industrious, debt-paying persons do not favor a currency of fluctuating and uncertain value. [Applause.] They wish that the United States notes and the national bank notes'should be kept to coin standard. It'is worthy of comment that many who are now clamorous against keeping this leserve for the redemption of

United StateB notes earnestly opposed the issuing of them as unauthorized by the constitution—and that, too, when the life of the nation was in imminent peril. Bearing in mind tbe various claims upon the treasury, what becomes of the charge made by the Democratic candidate for vice-president and others of imposing taxation and th«unnecessary holding of $450,000,000 or $500,000,000? The reserve is less than one-third of the apparent balance on hand. I have too much respect for the intelligence of Governor Hendricks to believe he does not know that this apparent balance is not available for paying off the public debt or for general purposes. The leaders of the Democratic party, with some exceptions, protested "againBt the issue of United States notes, and when in the opinion of congress the necessities of the war required them to be issued and clothed with the legal tender quality, the utter collapse of the public credit was predicted. Instead of these predictions, being verified, the greenbacks through the wise and conservative management of Republican adminis trations, are at a par with gold. Those who.are familiar with the action of the Democratic leaders during and after the war on questions affecting the public cred't are not surprised to see them now at work by speech and vote to get rid of the reserve, without which we might be obliged to suspend specie payments. "The war for the preservation of the Union entailed upon us a debt of nearly $3,000,000,600. This debt, less cash in the treasury, is now little more than $1,400,000,000. The vast difference between these enormous sums has been paid and extinguished under Republican administrations, dollar for dollar, in good money. [Applause., That is where the surplus revenue, the excess of receipts over expenditures, has gone, year by year. During the present year the reduction wiiljprob ably be $100,000,000. During the last year of the last Democratic ad ministration the treasury was empt] and our floating indebtedness exceeded $20,000,000. The ci editors were clamorous for their money, and the admin' istration was greatly embarrassed keeping the machinery of the government running. Congress came to its relief by authoiizing a loan and so low had the public credit fallen that the secretary sold 6 per cent, bonds, having twenty years to run, at less than ninety cents on the dollar. In contrast with these Democratic achievements Republicans can point with pride to a 4 per cent, bond 20 per cent, above par in the markets of the world, and even a 3 per cent bond above par. [Applause.] The achievements of Republican administration, in the management of our finances and in the reduction of the public debt, are perhaps without a par allel in the history of the world. [Great applause.] No one at home or abroad doubts that our war debt will be fully and honorably paid if the Re-

fCheers.]partyeredit

tublican is continued in power.

"The public has been BO firmly established and the public debt so largely reduced that we can now safely reduce taxation within the demands of the law creating the sinking fund. That law requires the purchase or payment of 1 per cent, of the entire debt within each fiscal year, and an additional amount equal to the interest upon all bonds previously purchased for the sinking fund. The government entered into a solemn obligation with its creditors to use in this manner a certain proportion of the revenue derived from duties on imports. This engagement was entered into, it is to be borne in mind, at a time when the public credit was distrusted by many, and the bonds were worth much less than now. In some years the debt has been reduced beyond the requirements of this fund. A liberal estimate will not require more than $50,000,000 for the sinking fund for the current year, and we will have a surplus over this of, say $40,000,000 or $50,000,000. The steady development of the country and the growth of its trade and commerce will increase the revenues under existing laws. There is therefore, no necessity for maintaining our present rate of taxation, but in view of the recordB of the two parties, is it not safer to trust the Republicans to manAge our finances and to reduce taxation within reasonable limits? [Applause.] Why should the Democratic party be trusted to accomplish this or any other good result in legislation or administration? It must not be forgotten that this party would have involved us in untold embarrassment if its leaders had been permitted to carry out their unsound financial views, not to say heresies. "In revising our tariff laws and reducing our customs revenues, home interests should not be neglected. [Applause.] Indeed, protection to our manufacturers and laborers can and should be afforded by taxing only such imports as come- into real competition with them, and admitting others free. No one disputes that the Republican party is in favor of thus affording protection to our domestic industries. .Cheers.] Revenue laws should be enacted with reference to our local conditions and wants. We should legislate in the interest of our own people rather than in the interest of mankind at large. Not until we are able to control the markets of the world can we afford to adopt free trade. No intelligent man need to be told that the weight of opinion in the Democratic party is decidedly opposed to tbe protective principle, but that once in fnll possession of the government it would refuse to enact or maintain protective tariff laws. But it is not now my purpose to enter into an extended discussion of the tariff question. "A Republican congress lias enacted

a law for the better administration the civil service. It has been faithfully carried into effect by a Republican administration, and has already worked a marked improvement in that service. [Cheers.] Mr. Blaine has given satisfactory assurance of bis fixed determination to execute it, should he be elected, and be wi 1 have the aid and influence ef his party. On the other hand, should Governor Cleveland be elected, his party with great unanimity will insist upon sweeping changes in the civil service. However good his intentions might be, he would not successfully withstand this demand. The leading men in the Democratic party repeatedly declared their opposition to any reform in the civil service. It was this party that, departiag from the teachings ana habits of their fathers, adopted and enforced the spoils system in the administration of the government This system is a legacy from tbe Democratic party, and it has not lost its appetite for official plunder. Our can didates for president and vice-presi-dent have been conspicuous in public life for more than a quarter of a centurv. They are men of acknowledged ability. [Cheers] No man in the country is better equipped than Mr.

Blaine to discharge the duties of the highest office in the gift of the people, and General Logan [renewed applause] is no less eminent as a statesman than as a soldier." [Cheers.]
