Address INDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL COMPANY, Indianpolia, lud. THE SOLID, N AKED AND UNDENIABLE TRUTH. 'Twenty years of continuous maladministration, under the demoralizing influence of internecine war, and of bad finance, have infetted the whole governmental system of the United States with the cancerous growths ot false construction and corrupt practices. Powerful classes hare acquire! pecuniary interests in official abuses, and the moral standards of the people have been impaired," Samuel J. Tilden's Letter of Declination. "No reform of administration is possible so long as the Government is directed by a party which is under the dominion of false doctrines and animated by enormous pecuniary interests in the perpetuation of existing abuses. "The lirsi effectual step in the reform of Our Government must be a fundamental change in the policy of its administration. The work of reform will be difficult enough j with the whole power of the Government exert?d in accomplishing it." Samuel J. Tiicen's Letter to the Iroquois Club. A ms the Germans "ficrht mit Sigel'' this time for Cle veland and reform. Delimited in June, dejected in August, defeated ia November. Poor Elaine'. Ti;n d eference 1-etween Cleveland and Blaine is the difference between "Tell the truth'' and "Hire an attorney." Thkee are in the United States Treasury at Washington but little short of 5,000 tons of silver dollars, or $1:;0,000,(4). Tin: Canton of Berne, Switzerland, forbids the Salvation Army to hold meetings within its territory, on the ground that the meetings are not of a religious character. S. W. Doe-ey said, in a letter written last June: "S. B. Elkios, Mr. Blaine's first lieutenant, has probably a larger knowledge than any other person oi all the Star-route matters." The Hairsburg Patriot is lei t5 suggest tl at "Mr. B!aine needn't come to want after his defeat, and that's a comfort. A man who can get $100,200 in commissions for selling $23,000 worth of bondi, can worry along as a rn ker." QfEnv: If It reqairea c'i.72 per ton tariff on iron to enable the iron masters to pay iheir workmen ninety two ceuts per day, how much tariff is nece??äry to assure them enough to live upon .' Note There is but .' labcr cost in a ton of iron. Wfpstst: defines hypochondria as a mental liborder, arising ordinarily from digestive tlerangements, in which melancholy and gloomy views torment the affectt-1 person, 1 articularly concerning his own health. Tu. appears to suit Blaine's case exactly. The Cleveland Plain Dealer truthfully says that the very fellows who raise the loudest shrieks about Governor Cleveland's immorality are men who many a time haye got out of windows in their bare feet and run a mile tl rough the snow to prevent "telling the truth.' The Sultan of Turkey has annalle 1 the sale ot tLat portion of the Mount of Olive?, where the graves cf the prophets Hag-ai Zachariah and Ma'.achi are situated, which the Russian priesthood would fain have bought. The place is sacred to the Jews.it being the burial place of their prophets, and is to remain their property for all time. The Oregon arrived from Europe last Saturday evening, having beat her former record nearly an hour. This is now the shortest trip ot the kind on record. The passage was made in six days, nine hours and twenty-two minutes. Passengers who went to church in Europe on the 13 th of August were in New York in abundance of time to get to church SnnCay morning, the 25th. The fiftieth anniversary of the first railroad opened on the Continent of Europe has just been celebrated in Belgium. There was shown the locomotive and coaches of the first train which ran in Belgium, in 1S31, manned by the men then on the line, who still survive. Belgium has at present nearly three thousand miles of railroad in operation, a larger nnmbsr than any other country in proportion to its s'ze. Refbrisg to French interference in Malagascar a French paper says: "It is sad for true patriots to have to confess that under pretext of preserving a doubtful treaty, oar Frenchy Colonial policy should be influenced by the Jesuits, whose expulsion took place about three years ago. It is suflicient to note the energetic intervention of Count Man, President ot the Catholic Workmen's Society, and of Bishop Freppel in the Chamber, to ba convinced that our action against the Hovai is purely anti-Protestant." The cartoon in Ti ck representing Cleveland as "The Eucalyptus" is a stroke of senius. To th?s tree is ascribed the power for dissipaücg poisonous exhalations of maTariat regions. This print represents the Democratic candidate as a political Ecalyptus dispelling all forms of corruption. Cleveland's ofSciul record aptly suggests the werful figure. It has shown that political miasmas are not allowed to live In the same air with him. A great city and a great State affected with political malaria were aujeess-

fully purified by his induction into their executive offices. And now our great Nation calls tor his purifying strength, and on the 4th of next March he will begin the work of driving the foul vapors of Republicanism out of the Republic.

A coim:epoxxext of the Boston Herald asks Sen ater Hoar: "Can you'gWe us one word from the pen of James O. Blaine, or one act of his up to his letter of acceptance, showing him to te in genuine sympathy with civil service reform? Can you show us one word from the pen of Grover Cleveland, or one act of hia as Governor of New York, st owing him to be other than a firm believer and practical supporter of civil service re form?" ANOTHER EXODUS. Yte have information from the most reliable sources that the Southern negroes are being brought into the State from various points that they may get settled down iD time to take part in the November election. They are arriving in squads of ten, fifteen and twenty. Fourteen new arrivals are reported from Kentucky a3 having settled in Sand Creek Township, Bartholomew County. Another lot of eighteen arrived in this city from South Carolina only a few days ago. Our friends will remember that the Sue law requires a bona fide residence of six months in the State be ore a citizen of the United Statescan acquire the right to vote in Indiana. All arrivals of the kind referred to must be noted. A WORD TO THE METHODIST CLERGY. As Brother Marine delivered quite en effective appeal for the Republic in ticket a few Sunday nights az from his pulpit on Central avenue, in this city, we claim that the twoletters written by the Widow Duncan ventilating certain portions of the record of be Republican candidate for Governor of Indiana should be read to the memosrs ot the same church. Our reasons are that Mra. Dnncan is a member of excellent repnte and in good standing in the Methodist Church. She claims that it was through Mr. Calkins that ehe was turned adrift in th9 world with out a home, with two children and a mother over eighty years of ae to support. Upon that heme sh9 had paid -$1,1)0, and as a result ot Mr. Calkins turning her out of the pD3t:iii:e at Westville, Ind., she lost , t,t of Vmt r)0:fi. That is her indictment ina nutshell against the Republican cm lidite for G77- t ernor. There is no politics in this matter. It rises clear above it, and, as Brother Mirina ( made an appeal indirectly wa admit for the election of Mr. Calkins from his patpic, we demand that he undo this great wrong done the Widow Duncan by reading her two letters from his pulpit to-niorroiv nijjht, explaining her charges agiiast the Republican candidate for Governor. The Journal and the Republican orpins hereabouts decline to publish Mr3. Duncan's letters, and as she is a member of the Methodist Church, it loots a3 if the cause of religion and I justice alike demand that the Methodist j clergy throughout Indiana should present j Mrs. Duncan's case to the members of that I Church. This is one of the mo?t outrageous j cases of the kind that ever came under the I notice of this paper. Lt Mrs. Duncan have ; the opportunity to be heard in her own church at least. JO EIN SHERMAN, OF OHIO. Senator Sherman delivered another one ot his great speeches at Ashlaud, (., last Saturday night We are obliged to him for sending us advanced sheets of it. It makes interesting reading, chieily because John Sherman is a man of giant intellect, and is and has been for years one of ths most powerful j and influential leaders of the opposition, and what he says can be relied upon as an unvarnished statement of what the aims and purposes of the Republican par'y are. In his Saturday night speech he frank'y ad- j mitted his contempt for a Government without sovereignty and whose powers and authority are d3legated to it by the people. He said: As our country grows in population and wealth the necessity of a strong Government btcomes more apparent and more beneficial. It does not follow that all these powers stould be exercised, but, in view of possible questions that may arLse, 1 would not surrender any ot them. This is centralization pure, simple and unvarnished. The next ftep will be to transform the Senate into a "House of Lords." Referring to the many differences of opinion between the two great political parties j as to what our theory of government should be, he said: Another practical difference between the two parties is the taritf question, and this prows out of tbe fundamental dilference as to the powers of the National Government. The Republican party believes that taxes on imported goods should b? the chief source of national revenue, and that in levying these taxes, called duties, they should ba levied, rot only to raise revenue, but to foster, protect and diversify American labor and productions. The Democratic party favor dnties for revenue only, or exclusively they are very touchy abotit words and their leaders try" all sorts of phrases to conceal their meaning. This issue i? getting clearly defined, and is to-day the chief immediate Lssue between the two parties. The Democratic party is opposed to protective tariS laws because their working are hurtful to the best Interests of the people; besides, they foster and encourage the idea of centralized government, based upon monopolies and individual wealth. After years of protection we find that (from the census figures of 1SS0) the aggregate capital employed in manufactures in the United States in that year was 2,790,000,000; the total number of hands employed was 2,737,000; the total wages paid was $917,000,000; the total value of materia's used was f 3,300, 0C 0,000, and the total value of finished products was .SOOOO.OOO. Now, let us divide the wages paid (SilT.OOO.OOOj among the wageearners (2.737.C0D), and we shall see that the average annual earnings of each wage-worker was only $310, which Is less than ?l a day. If we add together the amount the manufacturers paid out to the wage-earner3 (1047,000,000) and the amount paid out for materials (3,308,000,000), we shall have a total outlay of ? 1,3 13,000,000; and if we subtract this sum from the total receipts for finished products (5,309,000,000), a net profit of $1,020,000,000 will appear, which is equal to 30 per cent, on the capital invested (2,7t0,000,000). This shows that the protective system allowed the manufacturers to make moie tet money than the sum of the total that was paid out in wages to their employes. Tbc

amount paid out in wages was ?9 17,000,000, and the net profit to the manufacturers was 91,026,000,000, which is equal to a profit of 51.03 on every dollar's worth of labor employed. The wage-workers received on an average of ?3G4 a year, and the profit that accrued to the manufacturers on each wageman's labor in the same period was $373. For these and many other reasons the Democracy are and ever will be opposed to the Republican system of protection. As the burden of Mr. Sherman's speech was the idea of a stronger form of government and its twin brother, a law to encourage the founding and building up of gigantic monopolies on the energies of the wae class, we think the figures given above will suffice for a full and complete answer.

WHO THEY ARE. It Is simply amusing to see the Republican organs of this city squirm under the address issued by the Independent Republican Association of this ity last Saturday. Having no way in the world to meet the clear and forcible arguments advanced in their address giving their reasons for supporting Cleveland, the organs are endeavoring to create the impression tnat the organization amounts to but little, and the committee who signed the address are men of no particular prominence. Let us see who the men are. It should be remembered tbey have heretofore been true and tried Republicans, and speak for an organized club of over two hundred In this city alone. Lucius C. Swift, r the Chairman, for many years has been alavyer of this city, standing well in his profession and as a citizen. George W. Evans, the Secretary, is a wellknown teacher in the Classical School ot this city. Louis Howland. the Treasurer, is a son of the late John D. Howland, for many years Chancellor of the United States Circuit Court, and by profession is a lawyer. James G. Blythe is at present the cashier of one of the leading banks of Fern, Ind. He was for many years the cashier of the Indiana National Bank of this city. Charles E. Brooks is a well-known citizen, being connected with the Malleable Iron Works of this-citj-, which position he has held for several years. Charles E. Ferguson is the well-known writer on tartir reform, and is connected with a large wholesale dry goods house in this city, and Lindley Vinton is the President of the Vinton Iron Works, of this city, work ing several hundred men. So much for the character of the men signing the address, representing the Independent Republicans of Indianapolis. Th2ir language in regard to the unfitness of Blaine is strong. They strike sledge-hammer blows. No wonder it makes the Republican oiViceholders aud organs wince. Another able member ot the club, Mr. John T. Dye, will address the citizens of Indianapolis on next Thursday evening at English Opera House, when Mr. Blaine will be shown np in his true light, as Mr. Dye will turn an electric light upon him, so that he who runs may read his record. Mr. Dye stands in the front rank at the Indianapolis bar and among the very ablest lawyers of the State. MR. NEW INTERVIEWED. While tbe Secretary of the Republican State Central Committee stays at home to instruct the rural Rad to put up in heavy black type Elaine's dispatch to sue the Sentinel, the Chairman of the committee is giving taffy to Ihe Chicagonese in relation to tbe condition of the State canvass. Mr. New says: "I have an abiding faith that we will carrv the State for B'.aine and L'jgan. N t a doubt of that result in my mind." "Un what do you base your confidence?" "On observation and reports recpivsd from all over the State. There are no dissensions in the rarty, no wounds to heal, and tbe R.publicans are enthusiastic." "No dissensions ia the party," says Mr. New. Well, the Sentinel has witnessed many Indiana campaigns, but it certainly never saw the "g. o. p' so effectually split up into kindling wood as at this time. Let us take account of stock. The party organs ard snatching each other baldheaJed; the Independent Republicans are in open revolt; the temperance wing is broken into two factions; the decent German element has kicked clear out of the harness, and propose to vote for Cleveland; the Lafayette Courier and the Indianapolis News have "gone back"' on Doxey; the Times wants the Chairmonship of the State Central Com mittee-and yet Mr. Chairman New says "there are no dissensions in the party, no wounds to heal." Taffy! Taffy! thy other name is John C. New. Mr. New continues: The tariff Issue is more prominent than it was in ISnO, and as much in our favor in the influences the question exerts as it was then. I do not think the I'rohibitionists.as a party, will cast more than 1,000 or 1,500. votes, and the Geenbackers less than in 1-S2, when their total strength was 11,000. The leaders of the Prohibition party, its brains and force, as well as their organ the Prohibitionist are strongly against the policy of running a separate ticket, and will heartily support the Republican nominees. It is only a few impracticable fanatics who insisted on putting a ticket in the field, and they will figure very lightly in the result Then there is an Irish defection of at least 10,000 which comes to the Republicans for the first time. This accession is no wild rhino, but materializes and can be counted. With all of these factors working, the confidence ot the Republicans Is founded on a solid basis, and we have eyery reason to believe that We will win. "Impracticable fanatics" is tbe name he gives the Prohibitionists. Terhaps they will take kindly to the name. This is quite as kind &3 Senator Harrison, when he exclaimed, in deferring to the Greenbackers, "Why, the idiots!" The "idiots" always remembered this cheerful way of patting it. The Prohibitionists will probably remember that the Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee called them "Impracticable lanatics." There are a good many of them in Indiana say 33,00). . Mr. New thinks that an Ohio defeat in October for the Republican party will be "dangerous;" yes, he added ' fatal." Right you are, Mr. New, and the indications are that the October election in Ohio will settle the case. There are many reasons for the opinion that it will go Democratic. The West Virginia diversion on the part of Elkins is simply to attract the Democratic attention from tbe importance of the Ohio election. Elkins is evidently afraid of Ohio this year. Mr. New claims the Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Districts, al of which are

now represented by Democrats. The humor 0! the interview is in its conclusion: "Is Blaine's libel suit making much progress?" "All that is possible. It can not be hurried any faster in the ctyil court?" "Would not an action for criminal libel have reached the merits of the case more promptly?" "I suppose it would, and I hare every r3ason to believe that such an action will be brought. It is more than probable." A criminal libel would necessitate Blaine's presence. This was all gone over by the Republican managers hereabouts, and they were of raid to risk its c.icyoicr. Perhaps there is lime yet to change the programme. Something desperate must be done by the Republican bosses p. d. q. or Blaine will be the worst defeated man that ever ran for the Presidency. The only chance for success now is to take him from the ticket and put a new man on.

A MEMORY OF WILD FRUIT. The season of the ripening of grapes has come, and arbors and trellises and porches are dotted thickly with porple and amber and black, where the clustets glow through the fast withering leaves. The bejt vines of the Garonne or the Cote tt'Or yield no more grateful or healthful fruit thanourCatawbas or Concords or Delawares, but no baldheaded boy who fbrty years or more a;o fiihed on the "big drift" or hunted pawpaws down either bank of the river to the mouth of Pleasant Run, can be made to believe that any of your modern grapes, your fancy varieties, your daintily-named products, can approach the appetizing fragrance of a hatful of "coon grapes," just after the first frost has struck them. There are none now. At least the Sentinel's wood-ranger has seen none in many a long ramble down the river bottom and along the banks of the tributary creeks. Once in a while he has found a vine, as lonely as the "Ancient Mariner," with something of the same weird fascination for the memory of "long ago," but as barren as the condemned fig tree, and as full of melancholy suggestions as a tombstone. Where be now your clinging tendrils, your plaited vines, that boys could climb us readily a3 a squirrel; your black bunches that were wont to set the robins in a twitter? All gone with the red berried ginfeng, the luscious black-haw, the wild-plum,;1 the purple mulberry, sweetest of all thty grove. The tender taste of a fruit that ii gone shall never come back to those thatf would have taken a licking twice a day for coon grape was never a big grape, though it sometimes got up to the size of an Isabella, and it had no pulp. Like the Herbemout it was juice aed sott seeds inside the skin, and that was thin as the skin of a new candidate, and the flavor was no insipid sweetness. It had an acid tinge that made it piquant, and a peculiar "smack" or "gout" or suggestion of aromatic intensity that made it as different from the average grape of to day's market as a frolicsome "tomboy" from a parlor doll. It maie better preserves by all odds than the bsst of cultured grapes, and for pies language as far as it has advanced this side of the Alleghanies is incompetent to describe its superiority. Who would think of making a pie of Concords or Isabellas, and who would hot hurry with eager hands to gather the saucy, piquant, sharply sweet wild grape for the pies of a Queen's banquet? The ! old time hunter and fisher along the j depths of the neighboring "bottoms" has ; often found the coon grape blackening a nat- ! ural arbor of elms in a thicket of iron weed3, ; with pawpaws paving the grata within arm's i length, and ginseng crushed under every i footfall and the Garden of Eden had noth- j iDg that a school-boy of that day, or any day, ; would take more delight in. The only cul- j tured grape of that remote period that the j Sentinel's idler recalls was the fox grape, a ; thick-skinned thing, with a pulp as tough as i a lump of India rubber, and not greatly more ! relishable. Being carefully protected, how- ; ever, it was an irresistible provocation to the 1 schcol-boy and the street Arab, such as he j was forty-five years ago. And there was now 1 and then a sporadic growth of him sprouted I from some of tbe main stalks of i the "chain gang." Dr. Isaac Coe J had a fox grape vine growing ' in his garden, where the late Bishop Tal- j bott's residence is, on Circle street, and it ' was raided from the alley in the rear of the I old primitive Presbyterian Church, whenever the Sunday-school scholars saw a chance in the Doctor's absence in the school. Of course tbe grapes were especially esteemed, though they were not half as good as the big blue wild grape that lined the trees on the west bank of the river, about where the "abbatoir" is. That "bottom" on both sides of the river was a marvel of wild fruit productiveness. There is nothing like it now in the county, probably nothing equal to it in the State, or any State of the Northwest. OCEAN DEPTHS. .The average depth of the ocean is 1",000 feet, or 2.500 fathoms, nearly three miles, says a recent scientific item. This is a good deal more than the'average elevation of the land above the sea level, though the extreme ocean depth seems to he just about equal to the extreme hight of land elevation. A short distance south of the Newfoundland banis a depth of 4,30 fathoms Las been sounded. This is a little over 29,000 feet, and but a few hundred feet less than the highest peak of the Bimalayas. There is a very marked difference, however, in the certainty of tbe process- of measurement in the two cases. In the measurement of a mountain bight nearly as great exactitude is attainable as in measuring tbe hight of a tree or a house." IQ the ascertainment of great ocean depths it is very doubtful If any exact measurement has ever been made. There are many currents in the ocean, and some of them run in stories, as it were, one above another, in contrary or cross directions. A lias carrying a fifty or hundred-pound Weight WOnM be bent out of a direct course by !hese currents a half do2.en times possibly in as-many thousand feet, swayed back and forth, to' the right and left, in long loops that might easily make double the length of line going straight to the bottom. But the persons managing it on chipboard could know nothing of these misleading vagaries. Two thousand fathoms of liDe would mean, so far as they could tell, 2,000 fathoms of water, when halt of it was made of curves, and loops swept "hither and yon" by currents. Ee that as it may, there iff a- sort of "fitness

of things," a natural harmony of proportion, in making the mountain nights and sea depths' equal, aad a natural inclination of the human intellect to the "unities" will be likely to accept that conclusion in spite of the vagaries and uncertainties of methods of measurement. One thing only is absolutely certain, and tb&t is that man can rise to the highest elevation, and live and return to tell it, but he will never get down to the lowest depths and come back dead or alive. That awful mystery at the bottom of five miles of water will never be revealed except in driblets brought up by the spoonful in sounding leads.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT ACCESSION. Hon. Thaddens C. Pound, of Wisconsin, repudiates Blaine. The Madison (Wis.) Democrat says: Hon. Thaddeus ('. Pound, of Chippewa Fall, Vi lt., bas written to a personal friend, giving his reatona, es an independent Republican, for opposing Mr. Bjaine and supporting Grover Cleveland. Governor Pound has been for years an unwavering leader In the Republican party, always sudpertlng its entire ticsets, and bas been very prominent in its councils for twenty year. Ilewasa let dins ; member of the State Legislature ia lSOl, IScO, ix: and 1 '.'.. lie was elected Lieutenant Governor iu 1359, and was in 1S76 elected to Congress from tbe Eighth District, tnen embracing ever ball the area of W isconsin. He served three terms in CoDsress, taking a prominent part. Ho was Chairman of tbe Committee 0:1 lub.ic Lanls in tbe Koriy -seven in Con res. At the end of bis third term ne voluntarily retired from puollulitc to devote himself to private enterprise. His repudiation of Mr. H aine proceeds from no personal grievance or disappointment, but f rum a firm conviction that the Kc-publiiun nominee is iut the man for lb place. Mr. i'ound ba thoimadsof friends In Wisconsin, and Is well known tnrauiaout tbe Noithwest as a prominent Kepnolicaa leader and thorough. y representative man. Mr. Pound in his long and admirable letter says: After much earnest and solicitous deliberation, I deem it to be my duty, while abating iiaaht of loyalty to tbe Republican party, but ru;h,er to promote its true purpose and strengthen it f r future good work, to support the Democratic nomiupe. Governor Cleveland, for President at the approaching election My judgment disagree vvitn, and my conscience rcboli against, the action of the Hopublican Convintioa in the nomination of Mr. B'.aine, and without arrogating for mylf wisdom tuperlor to a majority of rpr s ja'at.ve Republicans, convened to voice tbe determination of my rarty, am compelled to obey my own bct judgment and sense of duty in this single and extraordinary instance. c 0 f Hi. Blaine Is objectionable, furthermore, for the comrany he keeps, -for the "friends' be hai mbde." Will tbe chief promoters of hin noaiinatio le bis chief advisers If elected ? There's the rub. I need luentiou no names, but will augaest that the least objtctiouabie of bis pet supporic 8 are the Tribune's supporters of Greeley iu ls."2, aiid accusers of I'.laine in charging him with bribery aud other penitentiary crimes. With no pronounced issues between the two cjeat patties, we can safely arlord to rield tempoiry üxeu live control at this time to an honest man, mougn ne m a uemocrau ana K grave questions of public policy were at issue, they cau not be determined by the Executive. This is the prerogative of Congress, the la w-makln? branch; heretofore, for a lime and now, under Democratic control. It is vastly more important to good government that tbe Republican party be restored to supremacy in Congress than that the administration of law be Intrusted to an unworthy partisan, surrounded by bad counsel. While Mr. W tine is known to be unwortby. Governor Cleveland has demonstrated hi Ihne? and worthiness for the position by the fidelity, ability and integrity ia the discharge of h:a executive duties as Mayor of ÜurTalo aad Governor of the great State of New York, and, in my opinion, a verv lare majority of intelligent and unprejudiced voters believe he should be ejected. If one-half of the Republican voters who arce in this opinion have tne courage of their convictions and vote conscientiously, he will be triumphantly elected. The New York Herald, after having made careful inquiries of well-informed persons in several important States, sums up a resume ot the present status of the canvass as follows: A survey of the field at this moment gives promhe oi a ' tidal wave" in November against the ilair.e ticket. From all Quarters reports come to us of very large aud Increasing Republican opposition to the liiaine ticket and much smaller uclection from the Democratic rauks than was at one time .'eared. There is, according to our reports, a spirit and determination this fall amon? the voters everywhere which promise very important results a determination to "make a change" and 10 see whether the people still control or whether the "mai'nine" politicians really have the country by the thront, a correspondent from Illinois writes us: "if people in the Kat could sea vhat a revolution is toing on la this S-.ate au.l in Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa, the frieudsof Cleveland everywhere would bo greatly encjuragpd." one of the phenomena of the canvass, according to all the reports we receive, is ihe lutewarui way in which Blaine Repubilcins are a-tin.'. Thy "will vole for Maiue, but will not work for him." th:-y say: aud this lack of eaihusiatie support is sure to teil on the canvas?. Is lookinz over the political field, especially Indiana and Ohio, the New Yjrk Herald says: Concerning Indiana, we bave the most positive assurance that the S ate will certainly so for Cleveland by at least 10,0t 0. In both Ohio and Ind.aua the number of Kepublicans who will vote against Blp.ine is found to be astonishingly l.irre, and sutlicient in itself to turn the scale ia those sta'cs. Our reports show also that there is nowhere any considerable or marked defection from the Democ ratic ranks, although both la Ohio and Indiana the Blaine people are reported to be courting and ecking the. Irish vole. roLit'icALi sores. The Butler banner should be embellished with twoi's a big I and a cock-eye. Savannah News. Blaine missed a great chance. If he had beed on board the Tallapoosa it would have been better than a sunstroke or a libel suit. Chicago Herald. U Ben BrTLEii must be slandered. There ought to be editors in Buffalo or Indianapolis who will undertake to rob him of every virtue. New Orleans Ticayune. The fact that they could not find a muzzle to fit him seems to be the only plausible explanation why "Clack Jack" is still permitted to make speeches. Utica Observer. The English papers are takinc: back all the good they ever said in favor of Grover Cleveland. They have found out that he once volunteered his leal services in behalf of the Fenian raiders. Some miserable villain has mutilated the tombstone of one of Mr. Blaine's children. While we can not vote for the Maine man, we will help him catch and hang the scoundrel. Doylestown (Pa.) Democrat. K-CONGRKSSMAN THAU C. l'OCNP, Of Wisconsin, a leading Republican, and one of the best known of Western men, writes along letter in explanation of his desertion ot Blaine and support of Cleveland. He believes that Blaine is a dishonest man, and thinks the only way to save the Republican party is to beat him. Tuet want rain out West. But even if they don't get it there is still much comfort ahead. Tbat tidal wave in November, which will make Cleveland President, will give the country all the refreshing it needs for some time to come, and it will be more than big enough to float Messrs. Blaine and Logan Mlf way up Elver to their final restingplace Puck. The Republicans hSf heen 0 In habit of sneering at the Irish Äat they CJÜ Jiv.t abandon the practice even fcr'fbe pnrpow of catching votes for Blaine. Judge Horace Russell, of Saratoga, in warning Mr fellowRepublicans not to be too confident cf the Irish vote, tells them: 4-They may come cut with some cock-and-bull story that Blaine once discharged an Irish girl for going to mass belore breakfast, or something of that sort, andere shall find ourselves minus the

Irbh vote." A charming tribute to the intelligence of the Irish-American citizens. Clevelaad Plaindealer.
