A PROPHETIC roLirIcIAN-Busy WORK

PROPHETIC PoLITICIAN-BUsY WORK
ING OF THE REPUBLICAN, CAMPAIGN.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-Mr. VIM. 4
Chambers last letter, of date the 14th in
stant has caused fresh Consideration
among the faithful Mr.. Chandler Is verJ
candid in confessing his bslief that The
Maine experience will bs repeated IL
New Hampshire, that there will be nc
choice of Governor by the people, and
no republican majority in the Legisla-
ture. 1t is said by the friends of the ad-
ministration that Mr.. Chandler is doing
what he can TO defeat the republican
party in New Hampshire, ON account OF
his hostility to the President. Whether
this may be so or not, II is generally be-
lieved that Mr.. Chandler's forebodings
will be verified.
THE REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN.
Both the democratic and republican
campaign committees Will IN short
time finish up the distribution of cam
paign documents. Tie whole country
has been pretty well provided with this
stuff by the two committees, and the
III ost of it probably serves no better pur-
pose than the kindhng of fires. Through
October the much more effective aid OF
stump speaking will be actively availed
of by both parties. There are many
more applications for speakers at the re-
publican committees room than at the
democratic, Mr. Blaine is by odds the
man most in demand at the republican
Headquarters, and his engagement to
speak IN different parts of tue country
will occupy most of his time until the
election.
The chairman of the North Carolina
republican committee was very anxious
t. have Mr. Blaine make series OF
speeches in that state, but Mr.. Gorham
informed him that the most he could
promise for Mr.. Blaine would be one
speech.
The republican majority in the first
New Jersey district at the last congress
sonsl election was about 800. i his
Uorlty Is large enough TO give Mr.
RobeSon a reasonable hope of election.
1t is expected, however, that "A consider
able portion of 1t will melt away, as Mr.
Robe>ou takes the nomination with the
distinct understanding that hlS election
will be regarded by himself as a complete
vndication of hi, administration of the
Navy department There are many re-
publcaus in the district who will he 10th
TO say by their votes that they consider
it right TO squander millions of the pub
lie money upon tavorite contractors and
Othets who were not entitled to IT,
SECRETARY sCHURZ.
DrtIr'dIS HtuuII Stdleu lO-udy tllaI ne
had not the slightest idea of being IA can
ddate for United States Senator from
Missouri, He thought it queer that any
one could imagine him to be so verdant
a, to have such aspirations when those
who were opposed to his political and
financial views had II majority of sixty
to seventy thousand in Missouri.
ELIZA PINKsToN.
A rumor was floating around the ho-
tr,a. O-tay, which could not be verified,
that Eliza pinkston had been recently
brought to Washington, and would be
tept hidden till the next meeting of the
Potter committee, when she is to appear
hetore 1t az witness. If the Potter
a,mmittee can catch Eliza she would be
greater "star" than Mrs. jerks.
EUTLER's RESOLUTIONS.
II Is said here that the resolut ons pass
ed by the s0-called democratic conveu-
ton Of Massachusetts, which nominated
Gen. Butler We're inspired directly by
that gentleman himself, and that the
r-soluu0n attacking the title of the
President wa, word tor word from his
diCta'iOu.
