A nuftulo Man Who la Conlident that ISlaiue VI ill Carry New York. Washington Special. The situation in Buffalo, as seen by Mr. ' Matthews, of the Express, which paper supported Mr. Cleveland for Governor, is thus tele graphed to the Star; “I am very hopeful that Mr. Blaine will carry tho State, but entirely confident of it I think he will have a majority anywhere from twentyfive thousand to fifty thousand. 1 will be more surprised if it goes below thirty thousand than above fifty thousand. I have no figures on the probable independent vote in Buffalo, but am satisfied it will be small. The claim of the Independent committee that they have sixty thousand names enrolled in the State, is line the declaration of some young men here that they would get four hundred prominent Buffalo Republicans to sign a paper vindicating Cleveland’s character. They got sixteen names. That, I think, will be about the ratio of the independent vote for Cleveland to the claims of the leaders. “Tho independent vote will be more than offset by the Irish defection from ths Democrats. " ave yet to meet an Irishman who is not at 'or Blaine. While Ido not meet many. I have met some very influential ones. I think the Catholic hierarchy is for Blaine. About the Butler movement, I do not know, I be lieve many who who were at first for Butler havo gone back to Cleveland. On the other hand, the same tendency is noticeable among Prohibitionists -who are largely Returning to the Republican ranks. “My opinion is not of greater value than most other men’s. I have, perhaps, hotter means of information than some men, and I think that if enthnsiasm and systematic work count for anything we will carry the State. We will carry Buffalo, which gave Cleveland about 5.000 for Governor, by at least 2,000. The county gave Cleveland 7,000, but Blaine will get it by 3,000. New York, in my opinion, is the only Northern State at all doubtful, and we have just as good a chance to carry West Virginia next Tuesday as the Democrats have to carry New York.” The Blaine Parade In New Y T ork City. •‘Gath’s” Letter. The presidential fight in this Tlcinity is hotter than I ever knew a battle to be. The elections back in Lincoln's time seemed to me extraordinary, and I then lived in the most marching city in the counti*y, Philadelphia. I sat in a room with Stephen A. Douglas one evening when some of the earliest torchlight clubs ever seen in this country came under the window shouting •lor Lincoln. The Prince of Wales was in the city soon afterward, and I thought the torchlight processions he saw for Lincoln must have astonished him. But in our day marching has become everybody’s way of expression. There was a procession in this city yesterday that I supposed was never equaled. George Williams, of Indiana, who organized the Japanese Treasury, made their loans in Europe, and is familiar with almost everything, told me last night that he had never seen such a performance as the business men’s parade for Blaine. It was entirely made in the rain, formed in the rain, and, when it got to where Mr. Blaine stood, the rain was tremendous. Yet there he stood, bareheaded. for nearly three hours, or from near 4 oVock to 7, refusing an umbrella, aud waiting till the last person had gone by in the dark. Think of lawyers like William M. Evarts, who get $25,000 fees, marching in the rain, at near Bixty years of age, the whole length of Broadway. Gray hairs were so plentiful that they ceased to excite remark. Now and then some old chap, who had been middle-aged when Pre mont ran for President, would be pointed out, but the excitement was equal to the numbers.

Effect of Mr. Blaine's Visit. Hew York Special. Mr Blaine’s two days’ stay in New York has created a remarkable feeling of confidence among the Republicans. Before he came here the managers in this State were, in a measure, demoralized by the loud protests of the sorehead Republicans about the hotels and club headquarters. Mr. Blaine s presence has also done as much as anything to stampede the Democrats. I have talked with a number of Democratic politicians to-day, and I have not found a single man of national experience who has any hope. There are some Democrats who are still betting on Cleveland’s election, but they are bumptious men, ■with nothing but local experience and most limited means of obtaining information. The Despondent Democracy. Hew York Special. Tho Democrats aro blue. You do not hear any of the expressions of confidence which were common enough among Democrats before the Ohio election. It is common enough to meet Democrats who are willing to concede that the fight is ovor, and that they have no chance. One of the most prominent Democrats I have met to-day is Leopold Morse, the veteran Democratic member from Boston. He is one of the most shrewd and successful of business men, and has been here for some time studying the situation. He says that he gives up the fight. “The Democrats have no chance,” said he this morning. “There is no use in going over my reasons. I believe Blaine will be elected.” “Don’t you think Cleveland has a chance of carrying New York?” “No, Ido not If lie had any chance in the Btate it is gone now.” Ex-Congressman Cocbrane.fta prominent St Louis Democrat, said to your correspondent this morning: “The Democrats are beaten. We were beaten in Ohio. That settled it. I bolievo we could carry this State by *IO,OOO majority if our leaders were united; but what is the use of talking about it? The game is up.” “Do you think the Democrats could have succeeded with anybody else?” “No, Ido not. We had one bigchance against Blaine. If the Democratic party could not succeed in its fight against Blaine, with all that could be brought against him and with the revolt of his own party papers against him, then it will never succeed. I do not believe the national Democracy will ever win another victory.” Democratic Charges of Treachery. New York Star. If the Cleveland and Hendricks electoral ticket is to be successful in the Empire State it will need to come down to Harlem Bridge not vory far behind the Blaine and Logan ticket. YVe make this statement reluctantly, but it is well that Democrats throughout the State should know the truth. The word has been passed throughout the County Democracy camp to cut everything else in the hope of saving Grace. We are fully aware that a similar charge is preferred against Tammany, but our assertion can be proved, the other can not Next week, when the figures will be at everybody’s disposal, wo shall be willing to leave the verdict to any and earnest member of tbe national •-•Auttittee— eay to Senator Gorham, of Mary

land. Ts the County Democracy bad been eager to save the presidency, it would have promptly swung into line for tho strong, dean, popular local ticket nominaled by Tammany. THE MISSISSIPPI PLAN. Billiot-Box Stuffing and the Shotgun Openly Advocated as Proper and Neoensary. To tho Editor of the 1 mliauapoli* Journal: At the last term of the federal court held in Aberdeen, Miss., an indictment was found against five young men for ballot-box stuffing, a crime t hat no white jury in this State will punish. The district attorney, seeing that the jury was a packed one, and knowing that all efforts to convict the prisoners would prove futile, and probably not wishing to prosecute a case in which his sympathies were with tho defendants, made a proposition to the defendants that if they would promise to abstain from such questionable proceedings for the future he would dismiss the case. After a consultation with his clients the counsel for the defense arose aud said that three of his clieuts had decided to take advantage of the proposition of the district attorney and make the promise, but that tho other two wished him to say for them that they had practiced this mode of carrying elections so long that they considered it one of their rights (?) which they would suffer for rather than forego ” The district attorney seeing that he could never carry the prosecution to a successful termination, dismissed the case, and the ballot box stulters went unpunished. Is not this a sad state of affairs, when the common practice of fraud renders the law punishing that fraud a dead letter? Can a man of honor cast his vote and interests with a gang of that kind? In Pontotoc countv, in this State, recently, tho Republicans held a primary election, the vote being over 2.400. Soon afterwards, at the general election, the total vote of the county was a trifle over 1,800. Can any one claim that no votes were thrown out here? That this was a square, honest count of the vote that was polled on that day? At Holly Springs, Miss., at tho last.general election, gentleman noticing the large number of negroes in town, remarked to a prominent citizen that from appearances he should judge that the Republicans would carry the election by an overwhelming majority. “Well,” was the laughing response, “they do the voting, bnt we do tho counting; so you need have no fears for this county.” At this same election an entire county (Leflore) was thrown out because there was a dash under the heading of the Republican ticket, and the State law stipulates that tho tickets shall be plain, without signs or marks on them, this law having been passed to prevent the negroes that were unable to read from knowing which ticket they were voting, thus enabling tfc? Democrats to foist their own or spurious fiepublteftu tickets upon them. One county (Yazoo), in IBSO, gave two Republican votes* for Gat-field —the postmaster and one negro—tho shotgun policy being at that time at its zenith. In regard to the use of the shotgun for carrying elections, a gentleman of prominence remarked to your correspondent that he had always condemned ballotbox stuffing as dishonorable; that he wanted every vote that wa9 polled counted, that he always insisted on the use of the shotgun to keep the negro away unless he wanted to vote the right (?) ticket. Now, is not this a demoralized condition of affairs, when a dear headed, high minded man thinks that when he acts as above, he is going according to the dictation of his conscience? A gentleman told me yesterday (thinking that I was a Democrat) that Mississippi hadn't counted their votes at an election for years, that they “fixed it up’ after the closing of the polls. Now, if your unprejudiced voter will read this and think it, he will never think of casting his vote for Cleveland and Hendricks, for should they succeed in gaining sufficient Northern States to apparently elect their men, the Democratic party have a patched up lot of election returns in the South to explain, and no doubt sufficient evidence could bo brought to bear to convince any electoral commission that Mississippi, Alabama, Louisianna, Georgia and Florida were not fairly Democratic, there being no doubt that if the vote was counted as fairly in the South as in tho North, the Democrats would have fewer Southern than they have Northern States, Let them practice what they preach, “a fair count,” and they cease to exist as a party in the South for want of support. p. Aberdeen, Miss., Oct. 20.

THE KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS, How they Raise Money to Help the Indiana Democracy Carry tho State. Louisville Commercial. All day loug yesterday the working Democrats of Louisville were actively engaged in soliciting subscriptions to be used in Indiana next Tuesday. A committee of Democrats, with John Whallen at the head, started out early in the morning, and before night several thousand dollars had been collected. Not a Democrat with a spare cent about his clothes was excused on any condition. Whallen showed the gang how to hustle for money. He didn't beg a cent from any man. With a little pass book in one band and a lead pencil m the other he would walk up to a well known Democrat, wherever he met him, and say: “Here, put your name down here for five dollars.” Instinctively the pencil was seized by the patiiot and without a word down weut his name in the little book and out came his roll of greenbacks. Every body approached contributed something according to their means. On Fifth street, between Market and Jefferson, Colonel Whallen struck a crowd of Democrats, and in less than three minutes he had several hundred dollars of their money. The contributions were made willingly and without a murmur of dis&p provftl. The rest of the gang, not accustomed to soliciting contributions, looked upon the work of Colonol Whallen with astonishment and admiration. “Did you ever see the likef* said “Governor Jim” Givens. “It just beats anything I ever saw in iny life. I’ll bet in less than three days he could raise SIOO,OOO himself.” Two gentlemen, known to be Democrats, were seen coming up the street. “You sound the on& on the inside and I’ll tackle the outside one,” said Colonel Whallen to a brother solicitor. “Let me see you a minute?” s&id Colonel Whallen, as his victim came up. He was led to one side, and in less than ten seconds he had his wad out and taking off the S2O wrapper, handed to tho Colonel. “That’s the way to catch them,” said the Colonel gleefully as he spotted another victim and hurried off to tackle him. Even Charley Godshaw, who is no slouch of a hustler himself in times of politics, was surprised at Whaliens active work. The money realized will be forwarded to Indiana at once to be placed wherever it will do the most good. If the carrying of the State for the Democracy depended upon Johu Whallen he would carry it or die in tho attempt. II ENDKICKS’S PATKIOTISM. Sworn Statement Concerning His Treatment of Young Blythe. Greene (Iowa) Special. I, S, G. Blylhe, of Nora Springs.

A Letter In Response to Air. Beecher’s Recent Statement. New York Special. The following letter has been written by tho Hon. J. F. Joy in reply to Mr. Beecher. ‘ Norfolk, Conn., Oct. 29, 1884. “Mr. Beecher: Sir—l have read your note in the Tribune of yesterday. I was fully aware of what I stated in my letter to that paper, and who sat at my table with vou, and c&uuot ouly look Governor Baldwin, but Elijah Smith, or any other party in tho face, wheu I say that I never said at my table or elsewhere that Mr. Blaine offered to form a committee as I dosired if I would take certain bonds of his at par, and that he never sent a friend to mo to make such an offer at any tint e. Neither they nor any other man who recollects correctly my statements, whorover I have spoken with regard to the conversation reported to me by a third party, and which I alone mentioned at my table, can truthfully say that I made pueh a statement, or that, such a statement even was in the conversation which I narrated. “I do not care to comment upon the rest of your letter, or its questions, or suggestions. I will simply add that there was no intermediary between myself and Mr. Blaine to discuss any such matter—there was simply no discussion about it, and. thorcfore.no intermediary. On all thia my memory is clear aud distinct and yours is as clearly wtong. I think if ourfates are to be settled at the awful day to which yen allude by the accuracy of our respective memories of my tabletalk, I shall surely be the winner. J. F. Joy.” POLITICAL BULLDOZING. How the Democrats Are Succeeding with Their Intimidation Tactics. F. It. M., in Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. The bulldozing business appears to b© doing well m Indiana. Blaine was successfully howled down at Fort Wayne, and that infamous outrage duly condoned and applauded by the Democratic papers. In Evansville a committee of Democrats went about just before the Blaine demonstration and notified merchants, etc., not to decorate their houses and places of business, accompanying their requests with sentiments of significance implying the application of the gentle arts of the boycotter ia case of overt acts in the way of recognizing by decorations the presence of the arch-Republican enemy. Again, over at Cloverdale violence was threatened a Republican speaker and speakeress— General VandervooH and Miss Nellie Holbrook —and the eouple had to be taken to the depot at 2:30 a. m. under guard of an escort, armed with revolvers, Last Saturday night, at the groat Hendrick* meeting in Vincennes, the glee elub sang “Bonnie Blue Flag,” “Maryland, My Maryland” and “Dixie,” arousing hearty and repeated cheers for Jeff Davis. That is the kind of community old Vincennes is, where they marched Mr. Blaine over a barbed- wire fence, which captured a piece of his pantaloons and the toe of one shoe. At Lafayette, track has been obtained of some big jobs in colonizing of repeaters and illegal voters, and many of them are spotted and watched, after the manner iu which that job was attended to in Ohio. Down in southern Indiana the Republicans entered into a compact with the Democracy not to appoint any deputy marshals if tho Democrats would not appoint any deputy sheriffs or extra police, etc. The Republicans who eutered into this compact are idiots. They must be of the ilk of those who go up to the cage and undertake to pat the sleeping tiger upon the nose. The animal looks so kind aud gentle, and, beside, is sleeping so soundly. If the good and trusting Republicans who made this agreement find themselves after election in the usual predicament of the unlucky wights who go to tho hospital after their interviews with the tiger, they have only themselves to blame for it Whero would the Republicans of Hamilton county, Ohio, be to-day had they entered into some such loving and peaceable agreement with the bloody Democracy of Cincinnati? They fought the devil with his own fire. To obtain a fair and honest election they stole from the Democracy some of the tools they had used to debauch the ballot-box and hoist them with their own petard. Thev quit the nonsenso of appointing white-handed clerks and high toned gentlemen to be deputy United States marshals to obtain a fair vote In the slum and scum wards of Cincinnati, and used there instead appropriate material, believing that in desperate occasions the end justifies the means. This move was unexpected, and it settled the matter, and if kept on will everlastingly prevent the accustomed frauds, and box stuffing, and repeating in the bad wards and precincts, and hence this yell of rage aud horror that goes up from the outgeneraled rascals.

MR. HENDRICKS ANSWERED. A Man Who Will Both Vote and Work Replies to that Begging Circular. The Journal has already printed the begging personal circular sent out by Mr. Hendvieks, asking for the especial work of his friends on election day. One of these came to Mr. A. C. Antrim, of Mier, Grant county, in this State, who replies as follows: “lion. T. A. Hendricks: “In reply to yours of 28th inst., will say that your suggestions are proper and timely. I shall ‘personally make an earnest and determined struggle for success at the approaching election.’ I am doing everything in my power W effect a thorough organization before election day, and shall be present at my precinct early on the 4th of November and devote a full day to the cause, believing that the best interests of tho country are deeply involved in that day’s struggle. “I will seejto it as far as I possibly can that every Democrat vote in my precinct is deposited for Blaine and Logan. “And sir, whenever I become so low as to degrade my country, as well as myself and family by voting for a libertine and a copperhead, for President and Vice-president of the United States I will inform you of that fact. In my estimation Blaine and Ijogan are as far above Cleveland and yourself us heaven is above helL “Yours &c., “A. C. LET CLEVELAND BE DEFEATED. A Great Religious Journal Utters Its Last Words of Advice. Now York Independent. It was the duty of the Democratic party, the moment the uneleanness in. Mr. Cleveland's private character was made known, to withdraw him from the field and put a decent, pare, and competent candidate in his place. Tho continuance of his candidacy with this knowk edge is a disgrace to the the party, and his election would be a burning disgrace to the whole country. The example of his success would be a moral calamity. His defeat is an imperative duty. The wriggling casuistry of the] Democrats and the independent Republicans to pull him out of the mire into which his own immorality has plunged him is a barefaced violation of common sense and a gross and monstrous heresy in morals. This remarkable campaign is now near its close: and as this will be our last word before the actual voting takes place, we call upon our readers, each and all —ministers, church members, citizens who have the right to vote, and those, young and old and of both sexes, who do not possess the right—to do what they can to secure the defeat of Mr. Cleveland, and for the reason that, while he is not intellectually fitted to be President, the infamy attach in" to his moral character utterly and absolutely disqualifies him for this high office. Whatever eise they do, or omit to do, let them do this, and thereby

serve their country, and teach all unprincipled politicians and party managers a lesson in respect to tho claims of morality that they will not speedily forget, and that those who are ambitions for public honors will not fail to remember in their private lives. May God save the country from the disgrace of having Grover Cleveland for its President BLAINE AND THE WOUNDED SOLDIER. TUe Reason Why Solon Chase Is Working for the Election of Air. Blaine. At the charge before Petersburg, after the firing of the mine, a young lieutenant in one of the Maine regiments was severely wounded, being shot through the eye. lie, with thousands of others, was sent around to Washington on a government transport, and thore placed in a hospital. The boy had just strength enough to direct that a telegram bo sent to his father, who immediately responded to the summons. On his arrival in Washington, he found his boy apparently at death’s door. The surgeon in charge told him if he could get the boy home alive he might possibly save him, but the chances were he would die on his way home; but, worse than that, it would take several days to get a permit to send him home, and the poor fellow was sure to die on their hands during that time. Although tho father had several acquaintances in Washington, there was but one man to whom he felt ho could to turn in his trouble. Telling his apparently dying boy he would be back in a short time, he started for the house of James G. Blaine. On his arrival there early in the evening, the servant at the door informed him that Mr. Blaine was engaged, that he was at dinner with company and could not be disturbed. The old gentleman in his agony, replied, “Tell Mr. Blaine that a gentleman from Maine wishes to see him—a case of life or death.” The servant immediately delivered the message, and in a moment Mr. Blame appeared. He listened attentively to the father's brief recital of his trouble, and in response to the anxious inquiry. “Can you help raer” replied, “I think I can. Come with me,” and seizing hia liat he started out on the street Mr. Blaine’s first inquiry was. “When does the next train start for New York?” and when he was told that it would leave in about three hours, he said: “You go to the hospital, tell the surgeon to make any preparations that may bo necessary for the removal of “the boy, and I will attend to the rest” The surgeon was hardly inclined to accept the father’s statement that the boy was going to start for New York on the next train, but was forced to do so when, in less than an hour, Mr. Blaine appeared with a permit for the boy's removal home, accompany by couple of sol diers with a stretcher to convey him to tho railroad station. On their arrival there, the attend ants at first refused to receive the wounded officer in the sleeping-car, saying that they did not carry dead men there, that the place for them was ahead In the express car; but a few vigorous words from Mr. Blaine satisfied them that they had better change their minds. After tho sufferer was laid in his berth, Mr. Blaine turned to the father, with the remark, “Trips like this always cost a man more than he realizes they are going to when he leaves home. Shan’t I let you have some monoyff Tho offer being declined. Mr. Blaine bade them good bye, wished them a safe journey home, and left the train. It was yt ‘ about an hour before it was time for the train to leave Washington. About half an hour later, while the father was sitting on the edge of the berth fanning the young sufferer, he heard the car-door open and someone say: “Porter, show me to Lieutenant C——’s berth.” The father at once stepped forward and said: “I am Lieutenant C ’s father. What can Ido for you?” Tne stranger introduced himself as a surgeon, stating that ha was there at the request of Mr. Blaine, to accompany him and his son to New York city and see them safely on tho train for Boston. During the long, tedious hours of the night this surgeon cared for the wounded officer, and on their arrival in New York he made the necessary arrangements for their transfer across the city, and saw them comfortably settled on the Boston express. The time oi parting had arrived. The father said: “Well, sir, permit me to settle with you for this trip.” “No, sir,” responded the surgeon, “there is no charge for this. “But, at least, I must pay for the expense of 3’our journey here and your return to Washington. ” “No, sir; Mr. Blaine has arranged for all that.” The boy reached homo alive, and after months of suffering recovered sufficiently to enter the Maine State Const-defone** Service, where the young one-eyed lieutenant was the pet aad pride of bis company. About ten years ago the siehfc of his remaining eye failed him, and now the blind soldier tells his children how James G. Blaine saved his life. Since the close of tho war the father has at times been somewhat prominent before the pub l lie, and it is not surprising that the present campaign finds Solon Chase earnestly working for the election of James G. Blaine to the presidency of the United Jetates.

POLITICAL NOTES. The Federal Courts Povrerte** to Protect tho Ballot in Louisiana. New urbeanb, Oct 31.—Judge Pardee, of the United States Circuit Court, to day heard argument on a petition of the United States supervisor of elections, George L. Morton, that State Registrar Brewster show cause why 7,205 names of illegal, dead and other disfranchised voters, found on the registration polls, should not be erased and canceled. Tho Judge, in de ciding the case, 6aid: “So far ns this matter is concerned, I do not know of any statute that confers jurisdiction to this court outside of what the court has "> to guard in the interest of United Spates supervisors of election and other federal officers. Under the nets of 1875. the civil courts should have jurisdiction. If there was reference in this case to any direct statute of the United States, this court might be of competent jurisdiction, but this is a matter upon which this court can not pass. The motion that the State Registrar shall show cause why those names should not be stricken off is denied Mr. Blaine as a Politician. “GathV 1 New York Letter. His speech at the dinner at Delraonieo*s, last night, which you have read, is his best perform ance, and brings, out clearly his shrewdness and address as a master politician laying for tbe votes of an uncertain and rather sullen metropolis. The courtesy of this address is almost princely, and well adapted to disarm the dude idea that Blaine would not be quite as finely be liaved as Arthur or anybody. Then the figures, not numerous, but in great aggregates and effective, are rather calculated to open the eyes of the business class here, who are not much on local knowledge. Next, his complete renuncia tion of any idea of foreign hostilities, but rather a forward policy against the wars which desolate the earth and keep progress back, carried a weight among these cautious bankers and investers no mere newspaper articles in New York can dislodge. In short, Blaine is a bigger man than auy of the editors in this city. None of them can touch him, even in the newspaper argument. Beginning as a school master, proceeding into tho newspaper occupation, thenco into legislative life and parliamentary control, and knowing the people remarkably well, which few editors in this country do, he is far, in general statement of the situation as he chooses to see it, the best editor in the United States. Tildeu and Cleveland. New York Bun. In the presidential contest of 187d, Samuel J. Tilden carried New York, New Jersey and Connecticut by haiidnome majorities. . There i scarcely a doubt that Grover Cleveland wild lose these three States. Why this difference? The answer is obvious. Samuel J. Tilden is a reformer, Grover Cleveland is not Tilden is a man of brains; Cleveland is a man of beef. Tildeu openly and clearly expressed llis opinions on all the leading questions involved in tho campaign when ho was

running. If Cleveland has any ideas whatever on the main issues involved in the present canvass. he keeps them to himself. Not less im portant than this is tho fact that every body knows that if Mr. Tilden had entered the White House he himself would have been the real President. On the coutrarv. no one doubts that if Mr. Cleveland were to be the Presidenthe would be a mere puppet in the hands of somebody else; and the one thing ascertained in regard to his future course is that the free-traders would be his masters. Tnese by no means embrace all the salient points of difference between Samuel J. Tilden and Grover Cleveland, but they are sufficient to show why the Democrats of New York. New Jersey and Connecticut who accepted the one will reject the other. St. John as a Democratic Ally. Fort Wayne, Oct 31.—Governor St John addressed large meetings at the Academy of Music this afternoon and in the court room tonight In each speech he arraigned the Repub lican party as a foe to temperance principles as compared with the Democrats party. He charged the Republicans with being responsible for the stagnation of business, and severely criticized civil-service reform. No comfort for the Republican party could be deduced from any of his remarks; ou the other hand, the Democratic party could take no exceptions to his al lusioDa to it. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN.
