same stand before the Maine election.
The Cincinnati Enquirer suggests
that "Blaine's appearance IA Ohl" can
not do Foster much good AMI bO1ts
Sherman much HARM" Then il would
appear that the ambitious 5 cTeIary
doesu'r hold u col trolling interest in
the ShermsB-Blsine alliance, S. called
Senator Herman, who has been CLAIM
ed as a strong Kelly mEa, has informed
the Democratic Stat: committee that
alter October 10 be will be ready 10
speak every night until the close OF the
campaign Tor Il ,binson and Potter. A
declaration from HnrstIo yMour in
favor OF G lvernor II )bInson is also ex-
pected.
The canvass 10 the STATE of M,ssis-
sippi is becoming very VAIN, and
promises to advance the prIce of lead
in NJ ssouri. The Houston, Miss, Pa
triot now calls on the Greenbackers TO
''lesrn to shoot" II says: "You
must make up gour minds to kill.
NIthiag will check this spirit of intol-
GRANGE tut lead. Prepare for 1t. Sleep
not on your arms"
Mr.. Hayes exemplifies the beauties of
civil service from day to day. 1t is
now through John NJ. Laugston, Minis:
ter to Hsyti, who is earning his salary
of 5000 q year by stumping OHIO for
Foster, or rather for John Sherman,
who appears to be his fsvoriie for the
Presidency. Although kingston has
he'd the Office of Minister to Hayti for
over two years he has spent but three
months at bis post of duty.
Samuel ]. Tilden had no money to
speak Of for the Memphis yellow fever
sufferers, but he has just seat $40, 900
to the publishers OF the Cincinnati
Enquirer, to be expended in the Ohio
campaign. There are two singular
condolences to be here noted: 1. The
Enquirer thin ks its service in the cam
psIgn to be worth just SO 900. 2.
The Enquirer thinks Tilden good
sort of man to support for the presi-
dency. Shrewd man, Sammy Tilden.
The survivors OF the Federate and
confederate armies of Moth Ca DINA,
agreed to hold reunion at r Ileigh,
on the twenty-third of c'obgr, to
which General Sherman was invited.
He declined to attend, because he ''can-
not assent TO the proposition that the
confederate men and Union men were
alike worthy of celebration for the
terrible history in 61-G5." He says
he would prefer to attend some civic

In the present and future glory of our

Gen. Butler has been nominated for
G verLOr of Massacl ustts by the
Greenback party, and Wendell Philips,
on The same ticket, has been named for
Lieutenant Governor. There is a reso-
luton in the platform declaring that
the soldier and sailor should receive the
difference between the value of green
backs to-day and what they were worth
during the war, or tHat the difference
betwi en- the soldiers dCl'ar and the
bondholder's dollar, with interest frcm
the date of each deficient payment, now
amounting to nearly five hundred dol
lars pr man, should be paid to soldiers
and sailors OF the late war in full legal
tender money.
Tsbulating customs and internal reve-
nue. receipts according to sections, for
the purpose of showing that Demo-
cratic States bear but a small share of
the burdens of the government, is now
fsvorite amusement with treasury Off
Gals. Assistant Secretary Hawley sent
IF h. Al
day as an fiji ;ial It dement,, and on be-
ing spoken to concerning it. SAID the
table had been prepared for r publ
can newspaper and was issued in the
official form, not as a campaign docu-
ment but by mistake. L. is a cheap
mode of electi"neering. But after sll
the figures will deceive no one. The
people cannot be made, for example, to
believe that the receipts of the New
York Custom House come out of the
private fortunes of the merchants of
that city.
Tsmmany has been entirely excluded
from the reOI gan zed State Dem ncratic
committee of New York. This turns
Kelly entirely loose from any political
organization, and makes Tammany en-
tirely an independent body. There
were Democrats from all parts of the
State at the st. james Hotel meeting.
The Tammany members of the old
committee attended, and engaged in
conversation with William Purcell and
others of the committee who opposed
Governor Robinson's denomination.
While they were thus occupied the
leading men in the Robinson wing of
the committee were busy arranging the
programme for the meeting, and the
Irving Hall Democ;acy's committee
were in the Hoffman House preparing
for the presentation of their claims to
the State committee. The secretary
disclosed the intention of the majority
of the committee toward the Tammsny
members at the outset of the meeting
by emitting their names in the roll call.
The crssi soon came. The Tammany
men inquired the reason for 1t all and
were assured that it was In accordance
with resolution of the Syracuse con-
vention. The Tammanyites then with
drew, Peter Mitchell, substitute for II.
A. Gumbleton of the fifth district,
alone remaining on promising to sup
port the Syracuse nominee.
