Many members of the Renuhlipnn State Committee who were in town yes terday expressed fears of the conse quence of the Prohibition vote. Mavor Parsons of Rochester said that the Prohibitionists were very strong in the western part of the state. Thev exist ed to poll 1,500 votes in Monroe coun ty, and made even larger estimates in other counties. While he would not admit that anv of their nrpriir.tions ironic! be verified, he believed they would poll a large vote, utner members oi tue committee agreed with Mr. Parsons, and advised the committee not to be too sanguine of carrying the state. The Democrats were working industriously, and the Independent Republicans were busy. It would require hard work to make Republican success sure. Mem bers of the committee from northern ew 1 ork also snoke of the Prohibition strength in that section of the State. inueeu, man tue reports except those irom tue river counties the danger irom the prohibition movement was spoken of. Some of the Kings county members said that both the German newspapers in Brooklyn had gone over to Cleveland and that there was danger of losing much of the German vote in that city, because the German Republicans had no organ there. A suggestion that Elaine ought to come here and stump the State was made at the committee's meeting. John J. O'Brien, Bernard Biglin, Solon B. Smith, and John R. Lydecker, who rep resents the Xew York machine on the committee, hoped that Mr. Blaine would visit Xew York, saying that they would like to talk with him. Charles J. Folger. In speaking of the death of this emi nent and distinguished citizen, which sad event occurred at his home in Gene va last Thursday afternoon, the Xew lork bun says, man of ambition, "ri -Fnlrro- -.., -ZU. i VIS" DOOI1 of honorable aims. and of probity and integrity in the vari ous relations of his life, but he was more energetic than strong, moreas piring than dominant, and by tempera ment wholly unfitted to bear the strain of political adversity. As a lawyer his career was credita ble and successful. He was a good Judge, and, had he been elected Govern or of this State, he would have made a good Governor, if it be possible that any man springing from his political condi tions could have been a good Execcu tive, which it is difficult to believe. His defeat, the conditions under which it occurred, and the consequences that it entailed was more than he could bear. He never recovered from the shock and 1 disappointment of that disaster. It 5 was to him the completest of sliip wrecks, and not even the distinguished preferment that President Arthur had bestowed upon him when he called him to the national Treasury could alleviate his overwhelming sense of it. He did his duties vpU n Kpprotnnr of the Treasury, and leaves an honora- uie recoru Deninu him. lake Horace Greelev. he furnislips nnntlipr onil linf instructive, example of the dangers iimo men run wnen they yield to the temptation Which nhannptlirntvsin tlioir path, and grasp at high places that they were never uestineu to nil.

It seems, then, that this promise on the part of the republican leaders and politicians, to settle this question in favor of resubmission within the party lines, is a delusion nnd qnnrp nsol fn influence anti-prohibitionists to vote for ounx j. iUAirrur. voters would do well to watch all of these specious ar guments. The fact of the matter is, party lines do not rest so heavily upon the intelligent voters as they once did, and to a large number of men principle is worth more than party. A man who is an anti-proliibitionist because he hon estly believes that prohibition is a fail ure, cannot vote his principle and for John A. Maktin at the same time. Either principle or party must be sur rendered in this contest. Which shall it be? Coming Events. The Clifford Dramatic Co. will hold the fort at Bonebrake's Opera House, Sept. 18, 19 and 20th.

WPPt nr mnrt. lookmg up evidence in the Blaine libel stui. j.ne points winch he wished to establish were -whom nml wlion tin marriage took place, who performed the ceremony and what records existed nf the fact. It is asserted that the .Sciifi- nel representative discovered that the marriage took nlace in tin ('uinliprl.imi Presbyterian Church on Sixth avenue, opposite Trinity Church. The cere mony was performed in the church at uusiv uy tue iev. nr. uryan, me pastor of the church, who died a number of years ago. There were two witnesses. Une of them was the Hon. John Le- moyne, formerly of Washington, Pa., and now a member of Congress from Illinois. The nume. nf thp. nfhpr wit ness has not been disclosed. Mr. Le- moyne was a college classmate of Blaine and knew him intimately. It is said that he will swear Mr. Blaine asked him to witness the nerammiv. Aftpr it. wn performed Mr. Lemoyne was swoni to seuw) iuratA muiiiiis anu at me enu of that time was enjoined to a longer period of secrecy. The records of the marriage here are said to have disap peared. There is no public record of it. It took place in 1851. in the early part of the year, and the Sentinel will claim that the marriage preceded the death of the child only a few months. It will also claim that the tombstone itself and the date of the child's birth Is the record of the fact. N. Y. Sun. Will virtuous Jimmy Hart please dopy V Automatic Tension.
