Democratic gains in the latter State are
in reality tho sevcrest blow the Repub-

ocratic gains in that aud the other States
in which elections have already been
held. amounting as they do. to 225, 900
popular votes, indicate q turn in the
popular tide which renders the defeat Of
Hayes absolutely certain. Out OF the

BLAISE's COURSE N TIE CANVASS.
Last evening the fifth Of the series of
mass meetings which have been held in
this c,ty, was largely attended, and the
feature OF the evening was the speech
of Mr.. Abram S. Hewitt. The course
pursued by Mr.. Blaine in this canvass
was the text OF Mr.. Iewitt's speech
lie said that to number OF Mr.. Blaine's
allegations he must apply the good old
Saxon word lie, and that he would ven.
ture to differ with "Harpcr's Heekfy"
rs to the proper use or language in the
campaign. The Journal Of Civilization
says that il is not q very grave offence"
to stigmatize an honorcd ine mber OF the
Supreme Bench as an ':iugrain, hungry

dyed In the wool, and coarse wool NJ
that Mr.. Hewitt said in this lie would
venture 10 differ. 1t is grave ofrense
to apply such language to an honored
and learned Judge ofthe Supreme Court,
and it is much graycr offensc If the
allegations are false. Mr.. Hewitt re-
viewed Mr.. Blainc's conduct during tho
investigation of the Union Pacific and
Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad
Company's, by Congress. which cxhibi.
ted him as false swearcr and bias.
phemcr. Mr.. Blaine's one speech in
this campaign has been tissue OF lies
throughout, and his record ia Congress
was sufficiently damaging to stamp his
every utterance as false. Thus falls TO tie
ground his rebel debt stories and charges
ofpayinS unconstitutional war claims.
Mr. Blainc', conduct is typical OF tie poI
icy pursued by every Radical orator that
has taken part in this campaign. In.
stead OF meeting the charges OF Custom
House frauds, the usurpation in I.ou;si-
ana, the Freedman's Saving Bank swim.
dies. Navy Yard frauds, Post Office
strawbids, Black Friday operations, the
Emma Mine disgrace, Belknap Posttra-
derships, the safe robbery conspiracy,
Boss Shepherds villanics, and the Robe.
son irregularities, they fauut the bloody
shirt and hide themselves bchind a thin
fabric of lying allegations.
TIN; RADICAL II. !. B.s EXPOSED.
The recent exposure OF the Radical
Boys in Blue, which came about by tho
publication Of letters, written by COM
mandcr5 OF Posts OF the Grand Army %
the Repablic, in answer TO General Dix's
circular asking for cooperation in the
movement TO elect Hayes and Wheeler,
is damaging in the extreme. These let.
ters show that. not only are the claims
OF General Dix and 9th RS. that the sol
diers OF the late war will vote as they
shot" arc without foundation. but that
the managers Of the Radical BOYS in
Blue arc Federal Office holders and par.
tzan political managers. The letters
from the commanders OF Posts are cool.
judicious and scathing. They inform
General Dix that political discussions
are debarred from the ordinary business
routine OF tho Posts, and that they dep.
recatc any attempt to bring politics into
their midst. One OF the commanders.
writing from Pennsylvania, says that he
favors tho election Of Hayes and Wheel.
or, but there are rs good men in his
Post as ever shouldcred muskct, who
will vote for Samuel J. Tldcn and
Thomas a. Hendricks.
ANOTHER EEPJBLICAN LIE
The Radical party have invented an.
other lie which, like all others from the
same source, is no sooner uttered than
it is exposed. This latest falsehood is
in tile shape OF dispatch from Wash.
ington. and was published IN the Ecei,.
ing I'oa OF this city. IL is 20 The effect
that the new s per cent. loan is being
damaged by the pending election, and
that the syndicate will make no further
subscription TO that loan or authorize
another cali Of $50 bonds until IL is
definitely known that Hayes or TiIden
