A Brooklyn paper, which aoema to bo sllll Buf
fering from the agitation Induced by tho trial of
Air. Beecher, sums up tho political canvass in
Maioo with tho profound Judgment that “ Ex-
Speaker Blaine’s prospects oro quite coriousiy
involved," What those prosjjocts aro, or how
they aro "luvolved," no follow can find out.
Senator Wallace, of Pennsylvania, Id credited
mLUi Bonding tbo following dispatch In duplicate
to the llou. A. 11. Dill aud tho lion. A. C.
Noyes: “Deakßhi: Slick to tho Gubernatorial
field. Your chances at Erie are good." Tho
Democrats aco not need to having a Senator iu
Pennsylvania, and they think tbo ono tboy bavo
ought to bo abovo double-dealing.
Massachusetts politics aro bubbling and boil
ing over just now. Botu tbo State Conventions
bavo boon called, and the “tuontioniug” of
candidates is proceeding at a lively rato. The
interest of Ibo avorago Massachusetts man in
political affairs, and the Intelligent voting that
bo generally docs, form a remarkable contrast
to tbo lethargy that prevails in otbor Stales iu
rospoct to all minor elections.
Tbo Wcslorn Bosorve in Ohio embraces twelve
counties in tho northern part of tbo Blato, which
were mostly settled from Now England. It has
ralways boon a Ilopublican stronghold, and good
things aro expected from it this year, slnco tbo
canvass has boon of a nature to bring out a full
vole. Tbo Ilcacrvo, it has boon estimated, can
poll on a pinch 100,000 votes. Last year a good
many Republicans stayed at homo.
Senator Morton la doing good service in Maine,
,-*nd is warmly thanked for It. Tbo Bangor Whig
diays of blu speech tbero: “The address was
upon a high plane, having no touch of tbo elec
tioneering harangue of a stump speaker, but
'dealing seriously and in a statesmanlike manner
with groat questions affecting tho welfare of tho
whole country. Tho Senator commanded tbo
‘earnest attention of oiro of tbo finest audlooccu
over gathered in Bangor."
The Milwaukee Sentinel shrewdly remarks:
“ Gov. Tildcn might succeed either os a Demo
■oratic politician or as a Reformer, but it is not
in tho nature of things that ho should succeed
«8 both." That is a procUo statement of tho
qnandary In which Qov. Tlldon is now placed.
If bo continues bis career as a Reformer as vig
orously as bo baa begun i», bo will bavo somo
little difficulty in scouring oven his own State
delegation iu tbo National Democratic Conven
tion.
It may as well bo understood at onco t\iot the
failure of tho Bank of California changes the
political aspect in that State, and adds to tho
uncertainty of tbo campaign. Ono of tbo prom
nout issues was tbo question of buying tbo
Spring Valley Water-Works for tbo use of tbo
■City of Ban Francisco, Tbo hank also exerted
-an overshadowing influence upon Htato politics.
Ibis ia now taken oat of the canvass ; and it is

Mr. Woudoll Phillips baa boon writing again
about tho currency. Qo la generally dissatisfied,
ridiculing equally onr present financial system
and tho plan of roe tuning specie payments which
is proposed by tbo Republican party. Hia idea
is tersely put iu this languairo : ‘‘Let tbo Gov
srnmant eland ready to iaauo all tbo currency
any business man wishes and can givo good se
curity for at low interest and convertible into
long bonds," Tbo advocates of anbmited Infla
tion will notice, we hope, that “good security"
is an essential part of Mr. Phillips* scheme.
Business men who bavo tbo means of furnishing
good security aro not, as a rule, suffering for
tnoto money.
Ur. Frederick W. Seward, who will probably
bo nominated by tbe Republicans of Now York
for Secretary of State, has bettor claims to the
cilice than his illustrious descent. Ho has been
for several terms a useful and honorable member
of tho Legislature; and It is believed that bis
nomination on tho Stato ticket would contribute
very materially to tho harmony of tho party.

Tho arrest of Mr. Qcorgo D. Lord, one of tbe
famous Canal Hi tig, on a charge of bribery, is
pronounced by tho Buffalo Courier “ decidedly
the most statlliug incident of tbo Reform war."
The press of Now York eoom to agree in this
opinion. George Lord is a member of (bo Lord
family at tho head of which is Jarvis D. Lord.
Their residence is Rochester, and they aro tm
• dorstood to bo deeper In tho mire than any other
of tbo canal contractors. It was supposed that
Qov. Tildeu would touch thorn last of all,
Inasmuch ss they have groat wealth and
political influence. This summary procedure
shows that the Governor has determined to

(or bribery, it being charged that the defendant,
while a member of tbo Legislature lu 1671, was
paid for bis vote and influence to secure tho
passage of a bill awarding extra compensation
to John I. Hand. The amount of tho extra
compensation was SBO,OOO, of which sum, it la

tho house of Hiram Bummers. Ho gavo the

ho was tried. Tho Jury returned tho allowing

ord of tho former trial. To this defendant de
murred, and which demurrer was argued
before Judgo Bomiott, before whom
tho case was brought on a change
of venue, on the ground of the
prejudice of Judgo Shannon mid tho people of

rer on which tins defendant stands.

BALTIMORE AND MARYLAND*
/Special DievaUh to Tlu Chicago Tribune,
Baltimohe, Ud., Ang. 30.—The Itoform party
made a grand demonstration to-night. Over
6,000 wore present, and thousands wore turned
away unable to gain admittance in tbo halL The
movement began as a small secret organization
directed against sectarian appropriation and tax
exemptions, but the popular disgust for Demo
cratic ring rule gathered about it as a nucleus,
and, sweeping away its narrow limits, formed a
citizens’ party. From an average annual es
pouse of a little over 84,000,000 under Repub
lican administration, tbo expenses of tbo
City Government bavo boon swelled to
over $0,000,000 per annum. Tbo city
riug has fastened an tbo State
Treasury also, and the increase of State expen
ditures has boon in corresponding ratio. Tbo
reform movement is independent and popular in
its character, and the nominations are almost
entirely Democratic citizens of character and
standing. Henry M. Warfield, a well-known
merchant, was nominated for Mayor; H. V. D.
Johns, a leading lawyer, and son of Bishop
Johns, for Htate l s Attorney. The nominations
ou tbo State ticket are yet to be made. The
success of tbo reform movement in tbo city is
certain with proper management, and the
chances of success m carrying tbo State are very
good.

HANO-BALU
CQAStrroNnuip or aubiuca.
Tho gsmo of hand-ball, which is to Ireland
what base-ball Is to America and cricket to En
gland, has never been naturalized, and hence
draws comparatively little attention from any
hut Irishmen, and only threo alleys, or places
for playing, are maintained in Chicago.
Despite tho lack of interest in the
game outride tho few who play, or
have played It, there are several good,
even very good, players in the city, and the ques
tion of superiority between this and other cities
has never been entirely nettled. Some timo ago
a match for the championship of America and
41,000 was arranged between two players from
Brooklyn and two from Chicago, and Uio con
ditions wore that fifteen games should bo played •
hero, the winners of eight to take the stakes.
Five games were to ho played yoetoeday, Aye to

The first series of gamca wore announced to bo

street, sud accordingly, about 3 o'clock, the
limited galleries allotted to spectators wore filled
to overflowing with persons who took an interest
in the contest, among them being several Aider
men and other local dignitaries.
To tho uninitiated it may he told that tho alloy
is qu empty wooden building, perhaps 25x60 foot
on tho ground, and 2<> feet high, or thereabouts.
The object of the gqmo is to fait a small and
haul ball with tho hand against one cud of tho
building iu such a way that the players opposita
tho striker may not -et at it on the 11 y or first
bound. There are numerous regulations con
nected with the game, hut the main object is tbs
one fisted.
Tbo players who came on from Brooklyn wore
Messrs. I'hil Caecy aud Daniel Murphy, and tbo
Chicago representatives were Aid. James O’Brioa
and James Forron. Mr. Murphy, of the visit
ors, was attacked with dysentery after bis ar
rival hero, and was yesterday too unwell to play*
ins place being taken by John Carmody, of tbla
citr.
i'iio players mado tboir appearance in the al-
ley. habited only in red drawers and light ahoos,
the rest of tbo clothing being dispensed with.
The umpire for Brooklyn was Aid. Michael Cof
