The Campaign In Maine.

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
New York. Aug. 22.-Among the
visitors at the headquarters of the
republican national committee yes
terday was Senator Logan, who has
been speaking in Maine. He was
asked what was the prospect for re-
publican success in the old Pine
Tree state. He replied:
eve have no doubt of republican
victory in September. The meetings
held have been very enthusiastic,
and more largely attended than for
years past. Many of those who have
acted with the greenback party are
back in the republican ranks. The
trouble last year when the democrats
attempted to seize the state govern
ment has had the effect of aiding the
republicans. Many independents
have declared their intention of sup
porting the republican ticket. The
canvass in Maine has been exceed
ingly active, and its result will be
shown at the approaching election.
Senator Logan leaves New York
for Illinois this evening. In q few
days he will go to Indiana, where he
will speak at several important points
before the October election.

IRELAND.

LONDON, Aug. 23.-Hon. VIM. E.
Foster, chief secretary for Ireland,
replying to an inquiry in the house
of commons to-day, stated: The
government does not think it neces-
sary to ask for exceptional powers
Or the preservation of peace and the
protection of life and property in Ire
land. They do not know, he said,
whether they can rely during the
coming autumn and winter upon the
common law. They do not fear an
uprising but the condition of the
country is precarious, and should
the necessity arise the government
would not hesitate to summon par
lament in order to obtain additional
powers, but they do not think the
occasion likely to arise.

SINGULAR CONDUCT.

New York, Aug. 24.-The police
are making a search for John M.
Benson, a young hat merchant of
Montgomery, Ala. He arrived here
on the 10th inst. to purchase a stock
and his singular conduct attracted
much attention. He appeared to be
out of his mind at times, grief at
the death of favorite sister being
the cause assigned. He went with
friends to Cony Island Sunday and
suddenly disappeared. A sister OF
the missing man arrived from Mont
gomery last night and has prompted
a vigorous search, which thus far has
proved unsuccessful.

which state that Reyes, with his
band, left Sonora on Thursday, and
while marching toward Tubutama

It is asserted that eighteen of Reyes

fight with the federal troops at Alta,
and were routed and were pursued
into Arizona. They also had fight
at Alsass Flat and four rebels were
killed. They were pursued to Viii
burs rancho, two miles
from Arivacca, where they
took refuge. The government
troops surrounded the house and de.
manded the surrender of the rebels,
but the employees on the ranch re-
fused to give them up. The govern
ment troops returned to the border
for instructions, saying they would
return. In the meantime word had
been sent to Arivacca and Deputy
Sheriff Elliott, with thirty citizens,
went to Wilburs' and took the rebels,

Republican Prospects I'm Indian.
Especial to the Chicago Tribune

Especial to the Chicago Tribune
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-A private
letter has been received here from
VIM. W. Dudley, United States mar
shal for Indiana, which shows a very
substantial foundation for the conf
dence of republicans in their ability
to carry that state. Mr.. Dudley is
known as one of the best political
organizers in the west. His infor-
nation is based on thorough knowl-
edge, and may be considered as an
authoritative exposition of the re-
publican position in that state. The
disclosure to which Mr.. Dudley re-
fers was an estimate of the present
strength of the two parties in that
state, based upon elections for
series of years, and revised in &C
CO dance with recent canvasses of
the counties giving a republican
plurality of 1890. The following is
the text Of the letter, which was
written to a private person. When
Mr.. Dudley speaks of the complete
machinery for
THE PREVENTION OF IMPORTED VOTERS
on the Kentucky border, he doubt
less speaks of that which he knows,
as he is the officer whose duty it
will be to prevent fraudulent voting !:
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 16, 1851. j.
Hawkins, Esq, Washington, D. c.
Dear Friend: Your favor of the
14th I have, and send you inclosed a
statement of pluralities which 1 had
printed previous to our visit to
Chicago to the convention. It's OBJ
ject was to convince delegates that
we had a good fighting chance for
the state. 1t was based upon my re-
ports from the various precincts as
received up to April /, and was toll
erably reliable at that time. If ]
were making it to-day I should
change it considerably, and in our ia
vor, and against us in a few counties
Though I should not estimate the to
tai votes of the two parties as high
as I did then, and the total of the
national vote larger, still the increase
of the national vote will only serve
to swell our popularity. l should
not estimate the result of any hon
est vote of the state, as it stands to
day az less than 5000 majority. We
have complete machinery to prevent
imported woes, and the enemy art
not holding their ground with accus
toned tenacity. The fact is, we hav'
the ''bulge" on them in every way
and intend to keep it. Mr.. Porter i
making q splendid canvass. and i
standing it first rate. He will b.
elected as sure as election day comes
Every eye is open, every tentacle out
Mr.. Englishs every wink is notet
and analyzed, and you may set i
down that we mean to earn and de
serve victory this time. Yours, truly
WILLIAM W. DUDLEY.

A DEMONIAC USE OF CHURCH
.r TUNES.
The Democratic Campaign Song
Book Filled with Bad
Words TO Good Music.
cincinnati Gazstte.

cincinnati Gazettel
Among the recent publications of
John Church & Co. is Hancock and
English campaign songster. It is
neat little paper covered pamphlet,
conveniently shaped for the pocket,
and uniform with the Garfield and
Arthur songster, published by the
same firm a month or two ago. Cam
paign poetry at the best is little else
than amusing, but this collection is
a marvellous monument to the as
founding taste of the political poet
aster.
Not only have a large number of
the loyal old songs that cheered the
hearts of the union soldiers during
the rebellion been parodied, but even
the hymnology of the church and
Sunday school has been conscripted.
Here are few specimens:
Tune-"Coronation."
All hail the power of Hancock's name,
Let that of Garfield fall;
Well crown our leader president
With freemen's votes this fall.
We're bound to beat the RAIDS this fall,
Oh, won't it be SO nice,
To have Hancock for president
And Bill English for vice.
Tune-"Hold the fort"
Hail we now our gallant chieftains.
Hancock, brave and bold,
English, too, whose deeds in story
Rank with those of old.
Tune-"Sweet by and by"
Freemen. spread forth your flag to the
breeze,
Let it float FER valley and dells,
From the mountains to the broad rolling
seas,
While each bosom with loyalty swells.
CHORUS.
While we shout, voices free,
For our leaders, both loyal and true,
While we shout, voices free,
For brave Hancock sId pure English,
too.
The shout for "pure English" is a
proper one for the poetaster to send
up.

REPUBLICANS IN COUNCIL.

New YORK, Aug. 24.-At an early
hour this morning groups Of repub-
hcan politicians were discussing the
situation in the state committee
rooms. Among the first on hand
were Senator w. H. Robertson and
Gen. Arthur. When asked as to the
probable action of the state commit
tee Senator Robertson said: eve
have been called together to decide
about holding the state convention.
am opposed to it, as I deem it un-
necessary, but the committee may
decide otherwise. We also meet to
discuss the situation in this state
and compare notes.
Shortly before noon the republi-
can state committee went into ses-
sion in the gentleman's parlor, at the
Fifth avenue hotel. The meeting
was called to order by Gen. Chester
A. Arthur.
DIR. P. G. Vanwick, who nominated
General Arthur in the caucus at
Chicago, was appointed to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation OF
Michael W. Barnes in the 9Th dis
trict. At 1890 o'clock a recess of
ten minutes was taken to enable the
committee to prepare resolution IN
relation to holding the convention.
The members of the committee, with
the exception of three or four, are
strongly opposed to holding the con-
vention. A candidate for chief u.s.
tice will probably be nominated at
once.
ALI the members of the commit tee
were present except two. The CON-
mittee unanimously decided not to
hold a convention. Chief Justice
Folger was renominated by the unan-
imous adoption of the following reso-
luton:
"Whereas, the general sense of
the republican party is opposed to
state conventions, for reasons, among
others, that The time occupied in the
selection of delegates to a state
convention would disturb and retard
the work of the campaign already
auspiciously begun; and that the
character of Chief Justice Folgel
dictates his nomination for the high
place he now occupies, and no other
name would be SO acceptable to the
republican party; therefore,
Resolved, That in compliance with
the sentiment of the republican
party the state committee places in
nomination for chief justice Of the
court of appeals G. J. Folger, Of
Ontario. The committee adjourned
to the call of the chair.

The best promise of the Southern
road is that it runs through East
Tennessee, region always loyal to

is that which brings Tom Hughes

promising because freed from the
curse of servitude that General Ban

From the Memphis Ledger.

Judge John V. Wright is third in
the race; Wilson is first, Hawkins
second and Wright last. Edwards is
running just for fun or glory. We
do not count him in the race. This
is one time where Wright is wrong,
for advices from the ranks of the
people are that they are for Wilson.
The peoples candidate will sweep
the state. A low tax legislature will
be elecyed; steps will be taken to
settle as much of the state debt as
people ought in equity to pay, and
the world will see who are the real
repudiators.

CoRIsTH.-During the rain storm that occurred
upon the evening of Friday, October 22d, about
one hundred and ten persons ofdifferent ages and
sexes sought shelter at the residence Of George A.
Jewell of Corinth, Among the number were old
men and maidens; young men and children. The
occasion OF the gathering seems to be that at
Manchester, New Hampshire, October 22d, 1855,
Rev. b. NJ Tillotson, now of ST. JohnsbuTy, Yer,
mont, united Mr. and Mrs Jewell In matrimony
Those present brought gifts OF silyerware and va
rious articles amounting in value to about $40
Rev. Mr.. button presented the gifts, making re-
marks and taking retrospect of the last quarter
of a century. Response for Mr. and Mrs Jewell
was made by A. L, Kinney; prayer by the Rev.
Mr. Dean, About nine r. NJ, the guests were in
vited TO the tables for refreshments Upon the
tables we're things pleasant to the eye and good
for food large Garfield cake graced the table
and another, labeled 'syer wedding" One article
upon the table OF which all the guests partooll
would make them think OF the solution of Sam
sons riddle. All present seemed to enjoy the
visit, and the only regret seemed To be that the
storm should have kept 30 many away that other
wise would have been present Rev. c. S,
Smith supplied at Corinth, October oath At pres
ent they have no stated supply at the Congrega-
tional church. The Pike Hill mines have sus-
pended for the present, only about twenty men
being employed now, enough to keep the mine
clear and save property 1t seems question
whether the mine will or can be worked success
fully. The first snow storm of the season came
