The biml.-n of Mr. tiHiiirJfrini:il ut-H-
fcurpawing Im "ty of the Hepul.li. Mt. party
and the extreme thU'vishnessof tlif I '"
tratic party. Mr. (i. wearied l.U ln-an-rs'
patience with a vnt army of tlirnt the
outcome of which was not however that
he Hepuhlicau party is ani'xlelot h..ii'-ty,
hut that as time has advauceil ami the
means of communication become more per
feet the revenue is more fully collected and
collectors are held to a more strict account.
J'.ut Mr. G. forgot and it is strange that all
the Kepnblienn orators and w riters forget
to note that one per cent, of the present in
romp of the Nation U about live per cent.
of its income prior to the war. There is
nothing more delusive in comparisons than
a (series of percentages, unless the imsis on
which they are calculated are also given.
It is moreover wholly uncertain what the
losses t the revenue hare been for wane
time baek. "We know that Capt. J low-gate
is a defaulter to a considerable amount,
that the Star Route frauds have absorbed
an appreciable part of the national income,
that there have been some frauds in the
navy department, An:. How much more of
this will Investigation reveal? He-sides
muh comparisons show badly for Washing
ton's administration, which would seem to
have been a very dishonest one. Who be
lieves this Who believes that Jackson
was dishonest or connived at dishonesty
Did any president ever curround himself
Vith a more untrustworthy set of men than
(jen. (Jrant 1 Hits any candidate ever kept
more unscrupulous company than Mr.
Hlalne So much for Mr. Ounn's argil
ment. He compared the candidates, gave
a sketch of Mr. Blaine's career and extolled
his genius by attainments, but failed to call
attention to those monuments of toil and
erudition.'hls dispatches while Secrerary of
State. What he has done for the United
States, what measures he has originated of
any importance to any one he did uot say.
It seems he has been so busy In spceulatim.'
and loe rolline that he had no time for any
Ling else. Ills services in waving the
bloody shirt are all that can be shown and
lliey were not particularly spendid. ,
Mr. Cleveland, he stated, had no exper
inr.e In public affairs. The presidency Is,
we believe, an executive office, and where
has Mr. Hlalne had so much of this exjier
lem e f It cannot be said that the Speaker
ship Is in its nature a counterpart to that
of president. Is not the office of iovernor
of New York an executive olllce? Is not
the office of Mayor an executive ollice Is
not that of Sheriff an executive ollice?
Then it seems that Mr. Cleveland's exper
ience Is quite as great, quite as extensive
as Mr. Blaine's. He may not, and we all
hope ho does not wish to knirw us much
about the Little Kock fc Fort Smith and
Northern IVlfic, bonds as Mr. Hlalne, but
in all besides we believe him, in spite of
Mr. Thompson's dulcet utterances, the peer
of Mr. Blaine.
Mr. Thompson neglected, as all Kepubli
cans do, the only means of comparing the
two t audldates, that Is comparing their of
final pairs. Somehow Kepubl leans seem
to dreed Mr. Cleveland's messages and ut
terances, but Mr. Hlaines platitudes and
false generalizations charm them from afar.
He can tell our farmers, who are proteeted
In nothing, how we owe all our prosperity
to a tariff, when the truth Is, aud he knew
it, that we exiHirt scarcely any manufac
tured goods but all raw and unprotected
articles. Hut then Hepubllcanlsiii has been
living for some months In an atmosphere
of misrepresentation and villilication and
of course its stieakers cannot be expected
to deal fairly and honorably w ith any que,
tiou. But these arguments shook no one's
faith. All tlie Democrats we have heard
from are firmer in the faith than before
and we do not learn that any Hepublicans
was strengthened, or one prohibitionist
shaken in his faith.
It seems to us that a good cause is always
made stronger by telling the truth. And
us far as we can Judge the Democratic
leaders have show n much the most fairness
In conducting the campaign. They have
foueht Mr. Blalue with Ills own worus and
rtatements. They have quoted his letters
u,u speeches, letters which he acknowl
edues are his. tor), but the Republican party
has, while assailing Mr. Cleveland for his
official acts carefully, and we think most
dishonestly, refused to give his reasons as
tilted in his veto messages and other '.lxu
meats. Are they at raid to tell the truth
Is it fair to say because a man attends M:n
ilv t hool conventions and religious fmth
erlngs that he does this because lie has a
weakness lor roast chicken and rich cake ?

nothing to help our people, and wrote enig

by Secretary Marcy, and carried out by
Commodore Ingraham at the cannon's

the Knglish doctrine, that she had the right

THE OUTLOOK IN INDIANA.
An Indianapolis correspondent of the
New York World, referring to the recently
published estimate of John C. New, the
chief Hepublican manager in Indiana,
claiming the state for the Hepublicans by
from :t,0K) to 5,000, says:
Mr. New's estimates are manifestly not
intended to apply to the relative strength of
the parties as they stand to-day, but merely
represent what lie hopes to accomplish by
Ohio methods between now and November.
Discussing this subject ( iov. Hendricks said
this morning:
" I cannot conceive of anything the He
publicans can do during the next teu days
to get the state away from us. I have been
through many exciting campaigns in Indi
ana, so that 1 know her people well and
every foot of her territory. But I assert
most emphatically that 1 have never seen
the Democratic party in better shape for a
fight than now. They have never been so
thoroughly organized or more perfectly
united, and never manifested the same en
thuslasm I have witnessed during the past
few weeks. We will surely carry the state."
( iov. Hendricks certainly speaks from an
honest conviction, as does (Jov. Cray.
Moreover, the argument is all with them.
In the first place, lndiaua has never failed
to honor Thomas A. Hendricks when tike
opportunity offered, and both parties con
cede him to be the most jxipular man In
the state to-day. It is really an imposing
sight to witness one of the monster recep
tions which the people are giving him
wherever he goes. The characteristic spirit
of these receptions Is not ordinary xlitieal
enthusiasm, but it is real love for the man
who lias had their confidence and admira
tion almost since his boyhotxl, and who has
never done anything to even suggest the
forfeiture of either. This feeling Is exem
plified In the fact that at Sullivan and
Princeton yesterday w ere delegations w hich
came by wagons twenty-eight find thirty
miles to" see him and hear him sneak for a
few moments. That means seven long
hours of riding In the raw air of the morn
lng aud seven more on a drizzly night, all
on account of a man w hose face and voice
have been familiar to them for years.
One young man who had no ersonal ac
quaintanee with the (iovernor drove eight
een miles before daylight, in order to ask
the great honor of "hitching his splendid
team of Norman grays to "Tom Hen
(fricks's karrldge." He was accorded the
privilege and was the proudest man in the
state. Again was this spirit exemplified at
Kvansville, when more eople assembled
to greet the man whom they had probably
seen a hundred times be fore 'than could be
gathered to see the greatest curiosity now
traveling, the most "magnetic" statesman
of the age. Such enthusiasm as this surely
augurs well.
In 1HN) (iartleld secured but B.OtH) plural
ity In Indiana, w hen the man w ho then held
Ilendrlck's place on the ticket was greatly
lacking In popularity in this state. The
state has been showing steady Democratic
gains ever since. Again, In 1H.H0, the ISreeu
back vote was nearly 14,000 In the state,
while the indlcatioiware that this year it
w ill amount to little or nothing. It Is stated
here that the larger part of that vote has
reverted to the Democracy. In Ihhu there
was no iVuhlbition vote, while very few
estimates place that vote under X,KX) this
vear, most, if not all. will come from the
Itenubllcau ranks. Finally, of the 15.000
liennan Hepublican voters of the state, it
would appear a very moderate, claim that
000 will favor the Democracy this time.
As against these estimates the offsets ap
pear to be very few.

Mi.ssK l'nnons: The poor laboring
man has become an object of much solid
fude and great consideration of late at the
hands of the dominant party. Their hearts
bleed when they contemplate the sufferings
of the laboring masses should the priiu i
pics of the Democratic platform prevail.
Now let us take a laboring man's view ol
the situation. How are we situated in the
matter of wages? Taking the average
throughout the entire country, we are con
vinceo that Hie lowest limit lias been
readied; ii"t another reduction can be
niad" and affoid th" poor laborer a coin,
i fortabl" existence; and yet we call see in
the near future t:i" time when further re
ductions must be made. When we look
about and see the L'.-ncral financial depre
sion and the utter ruin f so intuit manu
facturing illdustiies, we can but realize
that farther red m ?i"iis must be made, aud
that soon. How shall the threatened trou
ble be remedied V The Hepublican say,
"(Jive us more protection." Let us reflect:
We have had Hepublican protection for
twenty years, ami during that time we have
seen a steady decline in wa.'es, until they
reached the lowet jsissiblu limit consistent
with a comfortable living. We have seeu
nearly one half of our mill property go to
ruin, and the remainder working on nan
time. If twenty years of protection has
done so mwh for the poor laboring man,
what must be the result if wh protection
is given him twenty years longer ? My la
boring friend, do your own Making do
not let others paralyze you with figures. If
protection is good it Is good for all, In
whatever 'ailing they may labor-there
should be no class protection. There should
not be a tax to protect the sheep owner and
not the herder; there should not be a tax
to protect the mill operatives and not the
operator with the pick and spade: every
class should be protected front foreign com.
petition. To Illustrate: A has a contract
tn build a street railway and employs one
thousand laborers thereat. Directly 5,000
em yrants arrive, (not an unusual numoer,)
all poor and seeking employment. They
call on A and agree to work for wages 20
per cent, less than those already at work
receive. A sees bis opportunity and dis
charges ids American laborers and hires
fresh emigrants, thereby making 20 per
cent. Now that is go.xl protection for A,
but how are the American laborers protect
ed V The protection idea would say, "Lay
an import tax on the poor emigrant sufli
cient to remunerate the laboring American
and secure him a permanent situation ai
fair wages." Such a state of affairs would
irlve some L'lass blowers and millionaires
r
trouble, but we will let them w iggle out.

Hlalne' Treachery to Morrill.
It was noticed that Blaine's personal or
gin In Maine, the Kennebec Journal, after
opening furiously on Mrs. Lot Morrill for
a few days suddenly changed Its tune and
became quite respectful in its language to
wards that lady. The secret of it is that
the editors discovered Mrs. Morrill was loa
ded She has in her jwissessiou letters from
Mr. Hlalne and Anson 1'. Morrill to her hus
band that badly compromise Mr. Hlaine.
Being asked In regard to them by an agent
of the Boston Jeruld, she said there were
certain phases about the corresM)iidence
that would render it very unpleasant for her
to be dragged into publicity in connection,
with it, and she had Intimated that she
would forego her repugnance only If neces
sary to put a stop to the assaults ujxin her
character. She added, however, "If I were
a man I would light and defeat James (.
Blaine, and if the American people knew
the vileness of his character they would
never think of electing him president;"
and she told the follow lug story concerning
the treacheiy of Mr. Blaine to her husband
when he was a candidate for re election to
the I'nlted States senate:
( n the day before the election Mr. Blaine
came to her husband and placing Ixjth arms
on bis shoulder affectionately said : "Sena
tor, everything is fixed. You w ill go through
all right. I am suddenly called to Wash
ington by a telegram or would stay and see
It through. You need give yourself no un
easim however, for I have arranged eve
rything with all my friends." The senator
said he w ished Blaine would stay aud help
him, but the latter said his business was
imjierative. The next day Senator Morrill's
friendscame to him in great alarm, saying
"Hlaine has sold you out and you will be
defeated." The senator said it was impos
sible, but It proved to be true. Investlga
tlon at the telegraph office showed that
Hlalne had received no dispatch from Wa
shington, and it was found that he had not
hastened on there but had gone only to
Boston, where he had stopjied over night.
Washington Letter.
('irntiir C'irri'ieinli'iire.
I The Ic'ni'i''i'i- ''unp'iign organization
1 here has completed it work aud is await
ing the great and decisive event of the 4th
of Novomber. It is too near the deciding
hour to indulge in predictions, for, by the
time this is In the hands of your Pacific
slope readers the retrospect of a
fool will be worth more than the pros
pect of all the wise men of the Kast. "A
calm survey of the field justifies us In the
most hopeful anticipations as to the re.
suit," is what the Democratic committee
says, and it is certain that the outlook in
New York Is now very favorable to Cleve
land, but those who rememlier that the last
election was txiught, and that the previous
one was stolen regard w ith alarm a battle
that promises to lie very close and may not
lie decisive.
The probability of Cleveland's election j
has caused a great many here to think ofj
the Mlitical, social and ilnancial effect In j
this city. The change in W ashlngtoiuto a
Democritlc regime would be almost as
heavily felt as was the re-instatenient of
the Republic in France, after twenty
years of Napoleon III. 1
The majority of men in business here!
predict that the election of Cleveland will (
be fatal, or at least hurtful, to business.
The reason that they think so is because
they are doing well now, and dread any
change that will even tcmiorarHy unsettle
things. They say that government em
ployes will cease to spend money and be
gin to hoard It in order to have enough to
begin life elsewhere; that those who own
houses will try immediately to sell them,
and the market will be glutted. The re
sult will be a great depreciation of real
estate. But there are a few who insist that
Cleveland's election will imjirove business,
that it will bring a greater number of stran
gers to the inauguration than were ever
seen before in Washington, and that many
will remain seeking office and spending
money.
A large real estate owner here says he
nelieves Cleveland will be the next presi
dent, but Is not at all uneasy nlxiiit his
property, and has refused several good
offers for It In the last week. Much of this
gentleman's real estate Is on l)uiont circle,
contiguous to the immense and splendid
house that Blaine has built. He argues
that although government clerks may be
discharged and have to sell their homes,
their successors will be quite as ready to
buy.
After all it seems to me that the fear of
a Democratic invasion is a good deal like
the alarm of the cricket when the plow
turned over his miserable abode In the
field. The jnjor Insect thought the end of
the world had come. If he had been a
patriot and a philosopher he would have
rejoiced in the husbandry and the prospect
of a good harvest. There is beneficence
even In the fire that lays waste to a squalid
and dilapidated quarter of a town, and if
the conflagration is wide and destructive,
it is because there is much trash that
should be burned. In plain English Wash
ington is full of the drift and rubbish ac
cumulated during the last twenty-five
years of uninterrupted Republican rule.
It is high time that it should be burned
out, washed out and fumigated. This was
ordered eight years ago, but the thieves,
liars and robbers that are now trying to
place Blaine in the presidential chair,
heated popular suffrage of its grea'te st vic
tory. Never before did a people fight so
fair and fail so foul.
After the Democratic party shall have
been In office twenty-five years it will prob
ably be time to bid them vacate In turn, for
another general cleaning, health Inspection
aud fumigation. But it is a national and
a human shame to allow the Republican
party to hold on to the government In this
way, and by the means it employed In the
two last two elections and is now employ,
ing.
The Democratic congressional commit
tee has nearly finished a poll of the con
gressional districts and has reached the
conclusion that the party majority In the
House of Representatives w ill remain about
as it is at present. The conclusion is a sur
prise to Democrats, the most enthusiastic
of w hom have been accustomed to concede
that the majority would probabiy be cut
down from thirty to thirty -five. Secretary
Host Insists, however, that his estimate is
borne out by the probabilities.

vote the Republican ticket.
Mr. Matthew Hale, of Albany, Is one of
the lest known Republicans of the state,
a man of honor and ablll ty, formerly pres
ident of the State Bar Association, and al
ways a stanch Republican. He writes of
governor Cleveland :

said and written of late, and "all this read

These two Republican opinions deserve
the consideration of hesitating voters.
