MILWAUKEE, WIS.,, September TO-
Hon. Carl Schurz arrived in this city
) on Yesterday afternoon, direct from
Greenwich, Conn.,, and was given a
complimentary dinner by number of
his German friends at the st. Charles
Hotel. The party was informal and
Included o number of gentlemen of all
parties, while hundreds of citizens
called in the course of tho day to pay
their respects to the distinguished visi-
tor.
In the evening he addressed an audi
ence of fully 10000 people aC Schlitz
Park, one of tho most delightful sum-
mer gardens in the West. Mr.. Her.
man Sigel, editor of the FTeie Presse,
the German Republican paper which
bolted Blaine tho day after he was
nominated, was president of the meet
ing. Mr.. Schurz's appearance on the
stage was the signal for applause that
luSjCu tCIl vi llllCCIl las SOOI
as quiet was restored he briefly stated
the circumstances that caused him to
visit the city. Then he stated at some
canvass and his objections to Mr..
Blaine. He reiterated many of the
telling points which he made i'm his
Brooklyn speech and every point he
made was responded TO by the hearth
est applause. AT the conclusion of his
address Mr.. Schurz was warmly con-
graduated. His speech was frequently
interrupted by applause and it's effect
on the audience was most magical. At
late hour the large gathering dis
persed. The meeting was altogether
one of the finest ever held in the city.
This afternoon Mr.. Schurz will leave
for La Crosse, in which he will speak
tomorrow evening. He will return
to Milwaukee early on Tuesday and
on the same evening will deliver an
address at the West Side Turner Hall,
in English, under the auspices of the
English Independent Republicans.
This meeting will be presided over by
John p. McGregor, one of the most
prominent Republicans in Wisconsin,
vino recently holted Mr.. Blaine and is
now W 0rking like beaver for Mr..
Clevelahd's election.
The nma5er of Independents in Mil
waukee alone is va"iously estimated at
from 5000 to 5000. This class COM
priscs local Republican "kickcrs."
They must be considered entirely apart
from those who have been driven in
the Democratic RANKS body and
brcechcs. John p. MciHregor said to-
daP9hat it was hard to give an esti-
mate of the strength of tic Independ-
.ents. There were many who had
F secretly resolved to support Cleveland
who would not avow their intention
oEenly. Another leading Independent,
OF German extraction, said that 5000
would not be too high an estimate to
= place on the Jrdependent votes of Mil
waukec. Th;re are very few of this
- number who will not vote the Repub-
lican State ticket, but they will scratch
Blaine for Cleveland. 1t was announce
cd at the meeting tonight that Judge
Cole, of the Snpremc Court, and Judge
Stewart, prominent Republican, had
just announced their intention of
boiling and voting for Cleveland and
Hendricks.
Tho Situation In Michigan.
CHICAGO, September 10.-Thc situa-
tion in Michigan is very Interesting,
both from State and q national point
of view. There is every probability
that twelve of the thirteen electoral
votes of Michigan will be lost to Mr..
Blaine, and that the State election will
go against the Republicans. In their
recent State conventions the Demo-
cratic and GreenbaclI parties formed q
very harmonious union, and placed in
the field an electoral and State ticket
The union upon the electoral ticket is
unique. 1t is supposed to be after the
plan suggested by General Butler; but
his letter suggests no definite plan,
and it is in truth original with Michi-
gan.
Wisconsin nnd Michigan Doubtful.

United States Senator Plumb, of Kan
sas, has come to Ohio to take part in the
campaign, and was to-day registered
at the Gibson House, in this city. In
an interview he said: "Thcre is much
depending on the result of the October
election in Ohio. | fear that there is
too much confidence. Old-time Re-
,publicanS say that the State has always
been Republican in Presidential years,

ing themselves with this feeling they
do not or rganizc. Many Of these Re-
publicans are like Indians; they like
to hold counGil. and do a heap taIkce'
but forget to orgAnizc. / am not con-
fident about this State, but 1 am not
alarmed"
"But the news fr9 9m Maine is cheer

eyes, but am aff raid that it will do
harm by creating riorc confidence; it
may encourage, brG it may encourage
tho wrong way. '}es, the Maine ma
jority was fully uS TO expectations ;
Republicans figure Non about 10000"
"How is the si4dation in your own

ooh, we had pme littlc prohibition

the RepublicaH party. We are all

"How abot 8 Iowa?"
