.' mdmlt Ma want nf nrnhltv. but swallow
It far tha aatrn nf thnlr nnrtv. That he
jf te Incapable has been indubitably proved
f by bis conduct in the Feru Chill trouble,
rf la which it is believed his unwarranted
v?,:-'4 teterferenee was due te commercial ob-
. - U r Jeew of his own. His incapacity Is also
".W ahewn by bis total neglect of the Irish
Asaerlcan citizens imprisoned in Eng
laad, when one word from him would
hare enabled them te obtain at least
tbe formality of a trial before their in
roeraUen. That he is net faithful te
the constitution is equally clear from
hit surplus distribution scheme, which
would require a violation of the consti censti
tmtiOQ for its enforcement.
Tried In this balance Blaine Is found
lamentably lacking. But it Is en the first
eon that be will be ruthlessly re
pudiated by the honest people of the
country. He has been proved a dishonest
nan. It is for this reason that the
strongest Bepublican organization in this
cenntry, the New Yerk Union League,
at Its meeting Thursday night, te en
dorse Blaine and Legan, could net get
together mere than flve hundred of its
twelve hundred members. And the
temper of the meeting showed that the
resolutions were carried against a nega
tivevete of from thirty three te forty
per cent., the calls for a division being
disregarded by the chairman of the
meeting.
It is because of Blaine's proved dis'
honesty that 100,000 men ventured
abroad en the chilly streets of New Yerk
Thursday night te participate in the
Democratic ratification. There were no
presidential candidates there, curiosity
te see whom is largely responsible ter
the crowds that are drawn te meetings
when they are present. It was simply
n outpouring of the people te hear the
tratli of the situation, and from the
academy of music and the four stands
Democratic sentiments awakened re
sponslve echoes In the hearts of thou
sands. It is because Blaine Is a dishonest man
that 155 of the 256 Uepublican members
of tbe New Yerk stock exchange
have enrolled themselves under the
Cleveland banner. Mr. Dewitt J.
Beligman, of the well known New Yerk
banking firm, who joined the Cleveland
and Hendricks club of the stock ex
change en Wednesday voiced the
thoughts of his fellow members in the
following letter : "Although I retired
from active business some five years age
1 have net yet sold my seat iu the New
Yerk stock exchange. The substantial re
ward for having held tbe seat for se many
years I am about te reap te-day, inas
much as it enables me a lifelong but
disgusted Bepublican te join your
Cleveland and Hendricks club. In tbe
name of pure politics it is te be hoped
that the geed, sound, honest sense of
the American nation will prevent se
indelible a disgrace as the election of
Mr. Blaine from being fastened upon
the country,"
Tbe revolt of tbe business men of the
cenntry from Blaine is one of the most
striking features of the present situation.
The produce, maritime, cotton, mining,
petreleum, mercantile, coffee and ether
exchanges of New Yerk have organized
clubs for Cleveland, and among them all
are found Republicans repudiating
their candidate, while adhering te the
principles of their party.
And it was en this issue chiefly that
Grever Cleveland was chosen te lead
tbe Democratic hosts. His rugged
honesty caused him te shine out as a
beacon light when he rescued from tbe
thraldem of jobbers tbe city of Buffalo.
It was for this reason that tbe people of
New Yerk elected him governor by tbe
magnificent plurality eL 102,000. And
It is because of his honesty that the
people will elect him chief magistrate te
drive from power the Republican
ley changers who nave for years fut-
pff their ill-gotten gains in the
Mm temple.
-waepebllcans Renouncing Blaine.
Tbe New Yerk Union League under
took te pass resolutions in support of
Blaine and Legan, aud as the organiza
tion has been wholly Republican the
presumption was that they would be
unanimously voted for. Nevertheless,
this proved te be a mistake, as many of
the members voted no, and cheers for
Cleveland and Hendricks were called
for and given in the meeting. The de
velopment is net surprising te these who
are familiar with the undercurrent of
sentimerit among the intelligent business
men of New Yerk. These who have op
portunity te feel the pulse of this class
of New Yerk voters, will find a very
strong feeling of opposition te Blaine.
The sentiment is that he is net fit te bs
elected. It is felt by men who are net
politicians, but business men of respect
ability.
They have no .confidence at all in
Blaine's integrity. They are represented
ia their feeling by the prominent Re
publican journals of the city, who have
renounced Blaine and support Cleveland.
Tha. Times, tun Pest and Harper' t
Wctkl'Ji Bepublican journals of me3t
determined tendency, have revolted
against the infliction of Blaine upon
the party; and they speak for
a class of very influential
people. Tbe same element that elected
Cleveland te be governor of New Yerk
supports him new against Blaine, who
Is infinitely mere objectionable te it
thaa Judge Felger was. In truth, the
latter was unobjectionable in himself,
and. was only carried down by the ob
aexltras elesMBt around him and the be
;UeC that he was fraudulently made tbe
arty aandidata, It is set easy tese
'kaw9tteMHihaT aay beyt at awry-
$P
t
ins; New Yerk against the demonstrated
strength of the decent Independent Re
publican element in that state. The
speeches he Is making for Ohie's use are
net doing him any geed in New Yerk.
Whatever Ohie mar think of the benefits
of a high tariff, it is clear enough that
New Yerk does net appreciate them.
Ner does it ache for a president who
will travel ever the world with a chip en
his bat, begging somebody te knock
it off. New Yerk does net believe
in Blaine's tariff views ; tits for
elgn policy or his honesty, lie is a
red rag te its conservative sentiment,
and cannot possibly get its vote. It he
pins his hopes en Tammany's help, he
will be disappointed. That Democratic
organization has never cheered Blaine
and has declared for Cleveland. It is
led by men of honor, who de net seek
their ends in sneaking ways. They did
net de It nt Chicago, and they will net
de It in New Yerk.
TiiEitK Is one little reform that does
net require the vete of the people te
bring about, and that Is tbe public do de do
pertment of Jehn A. Legan. A pair of
brawny shoulders and hard fists will fill
the bill for this consummation. General
Legan was speaking from the rear plat
form of n car at Hinten, West Virginia,
en Monday evening. During his re
marks a man named Henry West came
up te him and said : " General Legan,
you raised the first rebel flag in the state
of Illinois, and I want te shake with
you." Legan asked the man his author auther author
ltyfertho statement, when he replied
that he could give none, but he was cer
tain Legan did. Then the Republican
candidate for vice president called him
a liar and spat full in the man's up
turned face. In conversation with
friends after the occurrence, Legan re
gretted that he had n:t his mouth full
of tobacco juice at the tlmoet tlie expec
toration. The senator seems te unite
the rowdy with his attainments as a
murderer of the Queen's English.

Hew workingmen must relish the policy
of Blaine who would distribute tbe enor

states, while they find It hard te get work
at ten eents an hour. There are 1100,
000,000 of idle money in the treasury
vaults amassed under Republican rule as

poliey is te keep the surplus in tbe

TUE COUNTY DEMOCRACY'S l'AKADE.
In the evening there was a tremendous
meeting In Union Square. If it takes

Four spsakers' stands, draped with
bunting, at tbe corners or the square,
were islands in the sea or hats. The pa
rade iUelf was bewildering. There were
felly 20,000 men in line, many of them
uniformed. They could net mass about
the square, as was originally Intended,
beoause the square was as full as it would
bold an hour before the first battalion get

It was 8:50 o'elock when the band of the
Eighth distriet battalion filled the square

blaring bands kept the square In such a
rear that the crowd couldn't hear the
speaking at the open air stands, and the

a tremendous time was going en outside.

"With the ether reforms se well de
clared upon in our platform of principles
I am In full aoeord and deem it unneoos unneeos unneoes
saty te add anything further here in regard
te them. Indeed success of many, If net
all or them, would be best secured by the
suppression or the liquor trafiie and can
never be otherwise. In the drink demon

Oen. R. A. Alger Detroit, JJeft
Dear Silt : I have just read your letter
of Ojtebar 0, exhorting me " publlely te
retract your my statements, as you hate
in your zeal ler the Democratic party and
tbe Demoeratio nominee spread them be
fore tbe whole country." When tbe beat
of this canvass has passed,yea will think
that such language bordered tee near
upon insult te ba either just or
wise. I beg you te understand
that I have nothing te de with the
truth or otherwise of Mr. Jey's statements
te me respecting Mr. Blaine. The only
qncsten Is. Did Mr. Jey make these
statements? The tracsaotiens between
him and Mr. Blaine, through aa luterme
diary, may all be mythical ; or the inter
mediary may nave been au imposter: or
Mr. Blaine's feelings may never have been
hurt by any sueh requests ; aud Mr. Jey
may cover have Deen snoeicea at uiame's
imputed answer ; acd Mr. Jey's artless
feelings, beiug praotieed npen by
this intermediary, be may have ex
pressed himself tee severely about Mr.
Blaine. Let Mr. Jey and Mr. Blaine settle
that between themselves, I have nothing
te de with all that. Did Mr. Jey makt the
remark in mypretencs uhkh I hav pub
ithedt If tie did net. I have lied.
If he did, Jey baa lied. There Is
no middle ground. There shall be cone.
Either I beard it, or iuveuted it.
Mr. Jey's second telegram te you makes
a languid acd foolish denial wbieh I at
tribute te bis net having seen or under,
steed my statement. Bat if Mr. Jey has
snsn my statement and denied it, or if,
when he lands in New Yerk, be shall de
clue that no sueh oeaversalm was had
lu my presence, then I bave only te say
that, whereas I did nut imagine that there
oeuld be mere than one continental liar, I
am compelled te think that there are two.
Please accept this as the only retraction
and apology that I am prepared te make
te you, te Mr. Jey, Mr. Blaine, and te
the Republican party.

Te see the reports or the Rupubltean

as published lit their psperH, It would be
supiiosed they were great both in quantity
and enthusiasm. Their old time fire is
gene. Speakers or the uallbre of Ceck
Gatehcll are appreciated In their proner
light. Statesman Lsudia and Candidate
Weaver are known te be after the leavea
and fishes only. Beys like Apple, Mo Me
Michael and Sauders Collin, are tee fresh
and besides all this the workers of the
party have no particular leve for Blaine.
The Stalwarts have never forgiven
the klekers (and they mistly boss
the meeting). Lancaster county, with her
big majority, has jealousies that crtep out
often. The Camargo meeting was te have
bfceu the great one of the lewer end, and
was gotten up under thn supervision of 4
Samuel Bpreeher, te make n big impres
sion en his workmen lu Ctboen's mines ;
but unfortunately the men wure discharged
and the mluca closed a few days before
Se that the meeting be far was a failure.
Olubs wero expected from all parts, but

his hosts he oeuld net count fifty men aud
boys te tuareh te the excellent munle of
the Quarry vllle Uolleou band, the mett
creditable portieu of the meetlng Tbe
whele crowd nt thn meeting would net
reach three hundred, and of that uumbar
net ene third heard tin world reuewued
orators who beat tbe air aud cried tariff
until the empty rulues echoed the lie baek
lu their teeth.
Tuesday's meeting was presided ever by
that war worn veteran James C illitH, of
Colerain, who upon taking tbe chair tnade
the same epeech he has m.tde at several
tneetlugs he has bassed this Beasjn. Uy
the way, Jim has gotten te be a profes

for that line. Just suits thorn, and they
should get theraselves piteutt-d, or at least
salted. All the enthusiasm of tin meet
ing was ctsily handled. Every cheer was
sraotberud by tha idle works around the
village, which for years Ins been giving
employment te a large nuiuher of peeple,
and in Democratic tlni?s was a greit
thing for tbonelghberhood.
While there Is no hotel at Cam-xrge
the usual amount of bid behavior was
there, aud a geed eliare of druuken men

A disgraceful fight occurred, which col cel col
leoted the greater part of thn cretvd. Te

that tbe better class or Repubticans

he will speak about nu one is able te tell.
But be knows enough en several points
it he will tell it Twe meetings will

both landlords want the "stuff."
