name with the celebrated "Mulligau
doctrine that no man has right to
publish letters compromising Mr.. Blaine
and he has complained that tho press
and "other persoDs' in Washington have

James G. Blaine is orce more swim
ming in his native ether, close to the
edges Of Il row. All who know him knew
that it was merely Il matter OF timo his
attainment of i grievance. The first
stake 80 be driven in his coming cam
paign was al open issue with the president
an;l his new administration. Before he
lett the state department lie knew one of
two ends must be gained. Either he
must entail upon the Arthur administra
ton "a policy that would rebound to
the glory Of Blaine through the coming
presidential struggle, or he must reas-
sumo the role of "thc plumed knight ''and
fight the administration.
Il thought had things fixed SO they
would stay" he declared. before he vacated
the state department but when he found
that, upon further investigation, the presi-
dent proceeded to "uniix" them de-
c;dedly from the Blaine standard of arro-
eance and ambition, with his high per-
soaai stakes in peril. what remained for
the ex-premicv to do but to call in his
friends for consultation and to burst into
the newspapers?
/; is very horrifying to read Ill the clab-
crate and evidently pre-prepared para
graphs, three newspaper columns long,
which Mr. Blaine gave in response to the
question of his interviewer" CD that

II some boroughs it has been the GUS
tom to treat the several wards as consti-
tuting one election district ard allow
voters vino remove from one to the other
within sixty days to vote, on the ground
that they have not changed their resi-
dence or removed from one district to the
other. There can be no doubt that this
is an infraction Of the election law of
this state as laid down in the new
constitution. The main purpose Of
that clause was to prevent repeating
from one ward to another in the
towns and cities. Any voter changing
his residence within sixty days of the
election loses his vote. It is not the in
tention of the law to disqualify any
voter, but those who disqualify them
selves must lose their franchises to Sc
cure a proper protection of the purity Of
elections.

LAWRENCE, MASS, November ct has
lust leaked out that General Butler came
near being drowned last Friday evening.
He came up the river on the c. l.. Mather,
and Just at the upper edge OF the rapids,
four miles below this place, the steamer ran
upon a rock and stuck there. 1t was indis-
pensable that General Butler should be at
Lawrence at an early hour, and small
boat carried by the steamer was brought
alongside, and General Butler, Mayor
Breen, Hon. Caleb Saunders, and Captain
Homans took places in it. The WATERWAYS
running very swiftly, and as soon as the
Boat wes loaded the current began to suck
il under the counter of the steamer. In
endeavoring to push it clear the' boat was
partially swamped, and each effort to right
matters only made them worse. The cur
rent was so swift that only an eXtraordina-
rily strong swimmer could escape being
drawn into the rapids and whirled down
the river a mile or two before still water
could be reached. Fortunately the deck
hands after much effort succeeded IN haul
ing each man on board. The General
escaped with banged up hat and thor
ouph wetting.

ship owners refuse to concede. A large

The cotton weavers, with the exception
of forty, who resume work to test the mill

but their own scale of remuneration. The
company is greatly embarrassed, as it has

Republican, will be elected. He has a ma
iority of 1000 to back him, but John Cad
walsder, his Democratic opponent, is max

nsjority Will fall off some. In the Second

iortty TO fall back on, and is safe. Randall

Iron" Kelly has walk.oyer in the Fourth
District, and will have 1000 or 5000 majori
~. The Fifth District Is ordinarily Repub-
lican by 5000 or 1000 but the Independent
movement there is strong, and as the DEM
ocrats Gave made no nomination, intend
ing to
Unite ON the Anti-Cameron Candidate,
Harmer, the Straightout will probably
get left. The Sixth district is sure Repub-
lcan, and likewise the Seventh. The
Eighth is reliably Democratic, the Ninth
Republican, the Tenth Democratic. and the
Eleventh also, while the Twelfth goes
down in the doubtful list, as does the Thir-
teenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth,
Seventeenth and Eighteenth. The Twen-
ty-second is probably Republican, and the
so. The Twenty-fifth is doubtful, with a
leaning to the Democratic side, and the
Twenty sixth and Twenty-seventh will un-
doubtedly elect the Republican nominees.
Just what effect the Republi-
can split will have on the
chances of Brosius, the Republican
candidate for that position, is hard TO fore
tell, but he will probably pull through by
a scratch. This estimate will make the del
egation from this State stand: Democrats,
Is; Republicans, 13; as compared with 19
Republicans and Democrats as at pres
ent. But some of the districts are so close
that like was the case in Ohio, the result
may hinge upon a very few votes. 1t is
safe, however, to count on gain of five
Democrats. r.-.
