WARRINGTON, II. u, Oct. "a, 1919.
An interesting little item of information
comes from Maine, bearing on the late CAM
Maign there. The greenback orators and the
committee men made their headquarters at
certain Greenback- Democratic hotel at
the Capital, the proprietor of which was
very lenient towards them. While Rcpub.
licans were expected to promptly pay their
bills, the Greenbackers gave fiat promises
TO pay, and the good landlord and all OF
them were so confident ol fiat success that
they ran up pretty big bills. Everybody
who had the remotest connection with that
Greenback campaign made ii n point 10
stop at that hotel. But it turned out that
the fiat people were overwhelmed, and the
GreenLack committees are not hasty in pay
ing debts Of that kind, so the board bills OF
the Greenback worthies, from the Rev. De
La Matyr down 10 the smallest claquer are
unpaid still, and the landlord is probably
FALLING to scale that indebtedness soon in
order to get anything. This incident is a
pretty good illustration Of iatism, and will
serve to put others on guard against run
ming the concern OIL tick.
1t is reported here that Prest. Hayes has
offered the English Mission TO Secretary
Evarts. The subject is kept "sIric ly pri-
vate," but the report is not Improbable.
Mr.. Evarts would make a good representa-
tive abroad, and it has been suspected for
some time that he aspired to some distinc.
Non Of that kind. lie has just returned
from his speech making tour in New York
where he was grandly received and spoke
well for the Republican party.
Speaking OF New York reminds me that
our news IRON the campaign there grows
better and better, and there are many here
now who think the Republican ticket will
have clear majority over all factions as
we did in Ohio. Tie same report holds
good with Massachusetts and Pennsylvania
The farther We get along in the campaign
the brighter the prospect becomes. Sema.
tor Blaine has recovered his voice, and will
speak in New York and Massachusetts
probably. So will Senators Allison and
Chandler. In fact all the great Republican
leaders are doing yeoman's service thi'
year.
The Senatorial contest in Ohio ia narrow
ing down, as we view II here. Sec'y Sher.
man having announced that lie snot can
didats for Senator, Gov. Foster sends sim
liar word. The conspicuous names about
equally mentioned here for Thurman's sue
cessor are Garfield and Taft, either of whom
would be acceptable.
The overwhelming Democratic defeat IL
Ohio has efectuaily buried the rag baby
so far as the Democratic party is concerned
That is the judgement OF semi- Democratic
organ here. The fact is apparent from th'
tone Of the organs OF that party, especial,
those Of the South. II has had the eficc
Of strengthening Senator Bayardi
prospects for the Democratic Presi
Dental nomination. Southern paper
ard because of his financial principles
aud even calling for hiA retirement iron
the head OF the Senate committee on Fl
nance, now admit that he was right an'
call him the basL candidate for President
Bayard and Palmer, (ex,(ioverpor Of Hi
nOis) have been nominated by North Cal
olina paper, and Democratic papers iron
that State to Texas are Joining In tI
"boom." But Mr.. Tilden is also Prohtin
by the daughter OF the rag baby as repre-
Senled by Thurman and Ewing.
Th0rs is an emphatic Republican revlva
In the South. II seems that our friend
there have taken courage from Republica
victories in the North. and from the col
sequsnt Encouragement OF the Democrat
K.ouisiGna In particular sends us good RI
ports, and the excellent Republican tick,
will poll large vote. and some Republ
cans are predicting that we will carry III
Legislature and thHs head olf the plot
unseat SenStor Kellogg. The Republican
Of Maryland are also making good hgl

to the National campaign With flying color
