party has nominated the strongest man in their
organization. Blaine is brave, brilliant, auda-
cious, and will draw the fire of enemy and
force the fighting until the sun sets on the ides
of November"
"What effect will Puck's tattoo of Blaine have
on the ticket"
Sensible people pay more attention to prin-
ciple than they do to pictures While Puck is
tattooing Blaine, it would be we'll to tattoo him
properly-place on his forehead Union forever
place on his right arm Men and money to con
quer rebellion;' place on his left arm Re
construction and loyalty place on his right leg
Civil rights place on his left leg
American labor against Oriental paupers;"
place on both of his feet the Constitution and
Union, one and inseparable, and standing
platform of American protection, he will knock
out the English tree traders il the first round
"What about independent opposition to
Blaine9"
"There are always lot of man-milliners and
tailors of Tooley street, who imagine that
time and the wheels of trade revolve around
their balmorals and breeches They are like
the fly on the bulls horn, who thinks he does
the mischief, when the china shop is invaded, but
the crockery is smashed by the bull. Blaine
can lose New York, and still be elected He can
carry the Pacific slope, Indiana and Connecticut
on protection to American interests"
MDoNALD AND VOORHEES,.
Ex-senator Mcdonald arrived to-day from In
diana, and will remain until to morrow morning
OF the Republican ticket he said 81 know
Blaine personally. He is very clever, whole
souled man. He is brainy man. full of vim
he is an aggressive man, and always has poll
cy. Politically he represents the very worst
element in our American politics. He is not
in my opinion, strong man, but the rank and
file of the people who are his friends think he is.
He will make the campaign very lively
one. One can see his policy marked out instant
ly. He will endeavor to create the impression
among the Irish voters that, if elected President,
he will get up war with England In fact, he
will leave no stone unturned to win the fight"
'Can he carry Indianal"
mo, sir, he cannot. Arthur and Gresham
would have given us trouble in Indiana. Blaine
is not strong in Indiana"
Senator Voorhees, said it was the weakest nom
ination the Republicans could have made. Con
tnuing, he said: "Arthur and Gresham would
Blaine and Logan will not In my day, 1
have never known nomination to fall so
fiat among the members of its own party.
Blaine is an aggressive man. and he
will make things lively for us. There is a very
large element of the Republican party who will
not take to the ticket, and. by the by, 1 have
not seen any telegram from st. Jerome Mr..
Edmunds yet, congratulating him his sue
cess; nor from Conkling, nor from Grant All
we have to do is to put up good ticket, and we
will win the fight sure,7
REPRESENTATIVE oALKINs.
Mr.. Calkns said: ''It is good ticket. 1t is
not as strong in the East as Arthur would have
been but it IS much stronger West"
-''How woI.Ad the ticket run in Indiana if Joe
Mcdonald was nominated by the Democratsl"
ut would be very close if Mcdonald is put on
the tail of the ticket but it won't make much
difference; people never think or care much
for the tail of the ticket"
"How would the old ticket-Tiden and Hen
dricks-run with Blaine in Indiana"
Il think Blaine would beat the ticket People
have an idea that Tilden is in vel. poor health
and has to be fed with spoon and. whether
true or not, that is the impression. Bayard and
Mcdonald would be the strongest ticket the
Democrats can nominate"
This morning Senator Logan entered the Sen
ate chamber while prayer being delivered.
AS soon as it was over the Republican senators
present advanced and extended their congratua
tions TO the vice presidential candidate.
The Democrats are preparing to formulate
campaign documents. They are at work upon
different branches of Rlaine's record and will
bring up the whole of his past career with all
possible coloring against him. They will have
cuts of the Blaine mansion, near Dupont circle
made, and will circulate them all over the coun-
try, together with number of interrogation
points The 'tattooed man" picture is to be
widely circulated and every other thing that can
bring ridicule upon the "Plumed Knight will be
scattered broadcast.
