The Poultry Show.
(Springfield Republican

The occasion has been especially rich in
opportunities for that large class of our fel-
low newspapers which do business in The
gainaceous line. We allude to the cam
paign rooster. The Republican brethren
were so permeated with that pride which GO
eth before fall as to prepare their works Of
art in advance, and In many cases brought
them out Wednesday morning, while the
Democrats came little later TO stay longer
aud 10 greater force. The early preparation,
it should be noted, produced some rather
odd results, for a number Of the sheets
found that the result was doubtful oOly
when 1t was too late to change the pages.
and flaming representations of cacking and
growing are followed by dispatches indicat-
ing that the noise should be on the other side.
The leading Blaine paper in Pittsbarg leads
all the rest In this, with triumphant wood
cuts OF great size all across the top Of page
and the news underneath headed "In
Doub" with types an inch high. Upon the
other side of the party fence the Louisville
Conrler-Journal Joined lesser Democratic
sheets in having the courage of its hopes and
appeared Wednesday morning with a collec-
ton of fowls truly remarkable. The repre-
sentation OF game cock can be especially
recommended as giving the true Kentucky
idea of pathological art. Other things re-
maTkable to tie eye bu beyond verbal ex-
planation are abundant, with a rooster COW
ering two whole pages Of a New Hampshire
weekly heading the list. Besides the wood
cut business there are other demonstrations
Of feeling in the same line. Thus, a small
Democratic daily over in York State found
it quite impossible to express itself In black
and white, and was printed one day on pa
per colored bright yellow. The scholar OF
the headline department of course comes In
with some very remarkable work, bat 1t Is
perhaps not worth while TO mention late and
minor performances 10 view of the record
made by the young man in the st. Louis
P0st-Dispatch Office. He is evidently "pre.
vous" young man, and his work was done
Tuesday afternoon when the voting was still
in progress. The first line read, "New
York, the pivotal State, all but a unit for
ClevelandP What followed Kept this effort

A Dearth Of Political News-RHanIy Utter


A Dearth of Political News-HanIy Utter
anres of HHr. Blaine.
AUGUSTA, Nov. 12-There is no political news
in Augusta to-day except that good many
Democrats have gone down to Portland to take
part in the celebration there tonight.
There is good deal of disappointment gen.
orally expressed here at the dearth of news
from New York. A distinguished New York
Democrat writes to Mr.. Blaine with whom he
has been on terms OF frindship for many years.
complaining of the course of the Republican
committee. and expressing the hope that Mr..
Blaine himself is making no attempt TO inhu-
ence the count Of votes In New York. Mr..
Blaine has replied by asking "In what possible
manner he could influence it directly or indi-
rectly?" and then takes occasion to add the
following: SIN the whole controversy I have
had no desire except for fair count and an
honest declaration OF the result. 1 have seen
no ether request made by the Republican
National committee nor by any of its members.
They have acted on their judgments at every
step and need no advics from me. l do not
wish any political Supporters of mine in New
York to take the slightest advantage of mere
technical defects in any returns where the hon.
est intention of the voter is expressed.
would far rather lose than gain by the exclu-
sion of the returns on mere technical arounds.
The presidency is not desirable If there be
the remotest faint on tbs title, as promotion
of that kind, no pore leads to honor than the
possession of forged paper leads to Wealth.
