The Blaine Men Must Go.
[Watterson in Louisville Courier 5ournal, O
tober 81.

[Watterson in Louisville Courier Journal, Oc-
tober 81
The Blaine men must go, plaintively
remarks the Chicago Tribune. Yes, GER
tainly, and they are directed to go down
the back stairs in order not to soil the
front hall carpet.
They are asked not to stand on the Or
der of their going, but to go at once.
Those who wait for their commissions to
expire are exhausting the patience of Mr..
Conkling. The treasurer at Chicago
was friend of Mr.. 1ngersoll, who was
friend of Mr.. Blaine. who was friend
of Mr.. Garfield, who was no friend of
the machine-so at the earnest request
of Gen. Logan, in order to purify the
civil service of all taint of Ingersollism,
President Arthur named Gen. Beveridge
as the successor of Mr. Gilbert.
These Blaine men have many crimes to
answer for. The made the 306 "go'' at
Chicago, and time makes all things
even. The Burlington Haaokeye seriously
advocates a third term for Grant, and
Hatton, its editor, is first assistant post
master-general.
Next, Mr. Blaine must go himself; he
may go to England, go to Florida, or to a
still hotter climate, but go he must. Mr.
Conkling, with all the machine organs in
tone, with a company of artillery from
Canonchet, is on the road to Washing
ton, and he never turns his back on any
one but Mr.. Sprague.
One reason that Blaine must go is,
President Arthur, Gen. Grant and Mr.
Conkling wish to see the civil service pu-
rified and elevated. They have witnessed
with grief inexpresiible the degrada-
ton which has come upon it during the
administration of Mr.. Hayes, and during
that of Mr.. Garfield So great has been
the change, some Office holders have de-.
clined to contribute to campaign funds,
some have refused to go home and vote,
and some others have cast serious impu-
tation on the administration of Gen
Grant, by lnstituting reforms of their own
and keeping their accounts straight.
The Blaine men must go, because they
are not loyal enough-that is, loyal to the
machine. The Republicans are to be
taught to obey. Gen. Grant insists that
the same rigid discipline for which his
army was distinguished at Shiloh shall be
must go
1uC ulCu dIC uOG WltuOu6 IT.
proach; they are up to some tricks them
selves, but just now all independence is
derided as Blaineism. This is little sur
prising, as many of the strongest oppo-
nents of the machine were also distin-
guished for their opposition to he Plumed
Knight, but persecution is consolidating
them, and name given in derision may
be accepted with enthusiasm. Not only
is the Republican party to be stalwart-
lied, but the process is to be applied to
the whole country. Opposition to the
triunvirate is treason. The wheels of
progress are to turn back. Boutwell,,
Howe, Creswell, and that race, repudiat-
ed, condemned, driven from Office by an
indignant people, are to be vindicated,
this is why the Blaine men must go. The
process of reform is exceedingly interest
ing to the on-looker. What is most re-
markable is the determination of the tri-
umvirate to carry out a clearly defined
policy without being in the least influ-
enced by popular protest.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.

Tne past week has embraced no notable
events Mr.. Denman Thompson in his mimi
table character of Joshua Wltcomb, has had
good though not a large business. The
performance has been appreciated by the pub
lie generally, and is universally pronounced as
the best representation of the typical New
Enela farmer ever presented on the stage
For the present week there is but one at
traction-Rce's Evangeline company. On
Monday and Tuesday evenings the company
will give the extravaganza of Evangeline. On
Wednesday evening Babes in the Woods
will be given, the selection for the matinee not
being as yet determined. OF the performance
the Denver Tribune OF recent date says: Miss
Richardson's Evangeline again captivated her
audience, while her exquisite mezzo soprano
was heard to even better advantage than at
first There is no doubt but Miss Rlchardson's IS
voice is one the purest and most reed-like of
its class at present 10 be found on any stage.
1t is not a strong voice by any means, nor yet
Is the upper register peculiarly good, but its
lower and middle registers are perfect. All
that is needed is further cultivation.
Miss Larkelle's Gabriel was again sprightly
and well acted. Her voice, too, was considera-
bly, fuller and freer, and she sang with less ap-
parent effort, and as was to be expected, was
warmly encored, especial favor being shown to
her in the duets between Gabriel and Evange-
line.
Miss Ella Caldwell as Eulalie, performed her
small part well. She has only single song in
which to show her vocal powers, but her rem
dition of "Sing, Sweet Bird" +" well merited the
encore which was insisted upon.
Miss Weathersby's Catherine was again a
triumph, and kept the eyes of the audience
upon her all through the evening.
Harris, Iona Eisho baforo
made him the central figure in the piece. He
did not put quite SO much action into the in
depreciation of the role as he did on the first
night, but the role lost nothing by this, and
his grotesque oddities kept the audience laugh
ing from the beginning to the end of the per-
formance.
Next week will open Miss Fay Templeton's S
combination, which will produce the new
comic opera, 1.-The Mascott," which has Gre
ated a great furore at the East On the 18th
and 10Th Haverly's New Mastodon minstrels
will appear. OF course they will prove a
great attraction.
The Kellogg concerts, to be given on the
21st and 22d of the month, are looked forward
to with great interest The programme will
arrive during the present week, and lovers of
music may rest assured that they will have
the opportunity of attending entertainments
of rare excellence as all the artists in the COM
pany are of the first-class.
Succeeding Kellogg there will be a success
sion of frst-elass attractions. Frank Mayo
will appear for week in tragic roles, COM
mencing on the 2Sth inst. As this is his first
season in tragedy, great interest will no doubt
be felt in his engagement here.

Indian Fight in Arizona .

Tucson, Nov. 5.---The Cftizen's special
from Fort Apache says: Lieut.. DeRavo
who left this post Oct 25 with troops of
the Sixth cavalry and Gatewood's Indian
scouts, has just returned. They secuted
over the Cihien country. On Oct. 80
they struck small trail, followed it
nearly all day and overlook a party of
hostiles, six OF eight in member, who made
running fight IN which two hostiles
were killed and their bodies left behind.
The balance fled. Three days afterwards,
returning through the same country, the
command again struck trail, and over
took and killed two more hostlles sup
posed to be the ones who escaped from
the fight No casualties on our side.

Fast Trostins at Bay District Pack, San
Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5.-There was large
attendance at the Bay District park to-day, and
great interest was manifested, The track
was in the best possible condition, and the
weather was all that could be desired The
first event was an attempt to beat the year
ling trotting record of the Kentucky horse
Memento, 1864. D. Wicks, OF Oakland,
entered the bay colt Pride and Gov. Stamford's
filly Hindoo Rosa. This race was for the
special medal of the association
and set of harness. The horses trotted
separately, each having a running mate and
both beating the record, Pride trotting a mile
in 2:44H and Hindoo Rosa in 2:43, and on
second trial in 2:43H. The performance Gre
ated the greatest enthusiasm. McKees 3-year
old, Sweepstake, made three attempts to wipe
out the Kentucky horse, Phil Thompson IS
three-year time of 2:21. but failed, returning
without finishing the first heat making the
second in 2:22, beating her own record half a
second, and making the third heat in 2:24H
L. j. Roses -year-old filly Eva, tried to
beat her own record of 2:26, but failed in
2:26H. The two-year-old FLY, Wild
Flower, with q record of 2:21, next
trotted a quarter of mile in O:32 Next
event was mile heats, three in five. for purse
and stake of S4OO, between Clay, Starr King,
Hancock and Susie. Clay won in three
straight heats; time, 2:27, 2:2SH and 2:25L
Hancock took second and Starr King third
money; Susie distanced in first heat.
The quarter mile heats by Palo
Alto 2-year olds, developed remark
able speed in the Boneta, brown filly,
by Electioneer, out of May Fly. She made
her quarter In 1924 seconds, only three-qua
ters behind Wild Flowers time. The Palo
Alto yearling, Aral, trotted a quarter in Az
seconds, and two-year-olds, Bertha Bonnie and
Fay, made quarters IN thirty-six seconds each.
Owing to the length of the programme a
portion was of necessity dropped.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 5.-The schooner,
Golden Fleece, jacobson, master, which left
here July us, with Lieut.. Ray and signal
service party to.establish a meteorological sta
tion at Point Barrow, returned this evening.
Capt. jacobson reports that on October Z
he spoke to the whaling bark, Dawn, in Behe-
ring sea, and learned that in the latter part of
September the Dawn spoke to the United States
relief steamer Rogers in the Arctic. Capt.
Berry reported in brief that he had completely
circumnavigated the so-called Wrangell Land,
and had landed In several places, but failed 10
find any trace of the Jeanette. be intended TO
winter either on WraDgell Land or on the
neighboring Siberian coast; Beyond estab,
fishing the insular character of Wrangel
Land, the cruise of the Rogers had so far bee
barren of results. Capt. Jacobson reports
that he left Lieut.. Ray and party Sept. II, at a
new station called Ooglalamie, five
miles west of Point Barrow. All
were In the best of health and spirits, and the
observatory was up before the schooner left,
and the construction of the main building wa 3
begun. The natives manifested o friendly dis
position. AS early as possible next spring
Lieut.. Ray will begin an exploration of
the valley Of the Copper Mine river, which he
believed to haye some connection with the
Yukon river. He expects to make circuit
from the Copper Mine south and
west, coming out at Catsbue sound,
where the vessel will be awaiting.
him. Capt. Jacobson expresses entire unbe-
lief in the story of wreck and whitemen
having been seen by natives eastward near the
Mackenzie river He heard nothing of the
kind while at Point Barrow, and is positive
that if any such information had existed
among the natives of the northern coast ii
would have come to his knowledge His
theory is that the story referred to the whaler
Vigilant, on the Siberian coast. He confirms
previous reports of an open but very stormy
season in the Arctic.
