My Dear Sir: You have always answered
promptly ard fully all the questions when an
opinion was wanted from one highly esteem
ed throughout the nation, have asked of you
upon political or other subjects. Here is a
'gpRph that has been published and re-.
published in every bourbon organ in the
West -
Senator Edmunds Of Yerm ont, in letter, 1880: 1t s
my deliberate opinion that Mr. Blaine acts the at
torney Of Jay Gould. Whenever Mr.. Thurman and |
have settled upon legislation to bring the Pacific rail-
roads to terms Of equity with the government up has
jumped James G, Blaine, musket in hand, from be-
hind the breastworks of Gouds lobby to fire in our
backs.
Is this a true extract from any letter of yours?
If So did Mr.. Blaine, as such attorney, ever
do anything wrong or disreputable or con-
tTary to public iuterestsI When, and for
what purpose, did Gould engage Blaine as his
Attorney What salary did be receive from
Gould Has his term of service for Gould
terminated II so, when did it terminate ?
If Mr.. Blaine was Gould's attorney, when did
he fire into the backs" of yourself and Mr.
Thurmau-giying dates and subject matter
under consideration when the firing was
done II Mr.. Blaine WAS ever the attorney
of Gould, is that sufficient reason why the
Republican party should be defeated in the
present contestY Did Mr.. Blaine, to your
knowledge aud belief, ever do anything that
would render it advisable for old Republicans
TO turn back on their lives and their records
and make Grover Cleveland, with all that i'm,
plies, president of the United States With
the highest respect, am truly your obediell
servant. FRANK A. FLOWER

summer Is Going.


Summer ia fading; the broad leaves that grew
SO freshly green when June was young falling
Aud all the whisper-hauuted forest through
The restless birds in saddened tones are calling
From rustling hazel oopae and tangled dell,
Farewell, sweet summer,
Fragrant fruity summer,
Sweet farewellin
Upon the windy hill, in many a held,
The honey bees hum SLOW above the clover,
Cleaning the latest sweets its bloom yield,
And, knowing that their harvest time Is over,
Sing half lullaby and half knell,
Farewell, sweet summer
Honey-laden summer,
Sweet FAREWELL"
The little brook that bubbles mid the ferns,
Der twisted roots and sandy Swallows playing,
Seems fain to linger in It's eddied turns,
And with plaintive, purring voice is saying,
Sadder and aweeter than my song can tell,
Farewell, sweet summer,
Warm and dreamy summer,
Sweet farewellln
The htful breeze sweeps down the winding lane,
With gold aud crimson leaves before It flying;
Its guBty laughter has no sign Of pain,
But in the lull It sinks In gentle signing,
Aud mOurns the summers early broken spell,
FAREWELL sweet summer,
Rosy, blooming summer,
Sweet FAREWELL"
SO bird aud bee and brook and breeze make moan
with melancholy song their loss complainant
], too must Join them as walk alone
Among the sights and sounds Of summers wan ing
I, too, have loved the summer passing we'll
So farewell, summer,
Fair but faded, summer,
Sweet FAREWELL -George Arnold

JUDGE LOCHRANE.
The Political situation in Georgia.

Inc Iohtlcal SITUATION IN Georgia.
Judge Lochrane, says the Chicago
Tribune Of March 1, has just returned
from visit to Georgia, and he said Fri
day at the Grand Pacific that from all
he could learn while in Atlanta Arthur
would get the bulk of the Georgia delega-
tion. The Federal Ofice-hOlders were all
for him, and they had the money to carry
their point. The other fellows were for
anybody who, in their opinion, could
carry the country. Both Blaine and
Logan had advocates. This talk about
bad feeling between the white and colored
Republicans amounts TO just this: The
blacks cast the Republican vote of the
State, which was numerically large, but
potentially amounted to nothing, because
it could not even elect Constable or a
Justice of the Peace. For this reason.
the claim of the negroes that they do ali
the voting and the white Republicans get
all the offices has no significance. When
the State Convention met there might be
some pickering, but the Federal office
holders would control the delegation.
Speaking of the Democrats, the Judge
said: Il find nearly everybody in Georgia
is for Tilden. That is, they are for him if
he has legs to stand on, but the impression
is general that his physical condition is
such as to render his candidacy an i'm
possibility. All this talk about Tilden in
various parts Of the country means simply
that the Tilden people are using the old
mans name TO keep their strength to-
gether and so go inte the National Con-
vention with a compact organization,
which they can unite on some man of
their faction, be it Hewitt, Randall.
Hoadly, or Payne. Thus only can they
control the nomination, for Tilden is the
only man on whom they can now unite.
and for that reason they are using his
name. No other man seems to have
strong following in Georgia. Joe Nc
Donald has some friends, but they are not
numerous enough to control the Georgia
delegation to the National Convention ,,

OTTAWA, ONT. March "A Cabinet

That will give an outlet for the pro-
