The opening meeting of the Illinois
campaign which was also designed as a
reception to Gen. Logan, was one of the
largest and most enthusiastic meetings
ever held in Chicago. The attendance
was thousands in excess of the number
expected and composed of class rarely
seen at a political meeting. If the at
tendance and enthusiasm are in any way
Indicative of the feeling in the state at
large it need surprise no one to see a
majority for Blaine, Logan and Oglesby
any where in the neighborhood of 81, 900.

The Congregationalist, which at first
supported Grover Cleveland, now views
his case as follows: IF it were true
that Gov. Cleveland could be shown 70
have abandoned evil courses seven or
eight years ago, and to have lived since,
and to be living at present, an upright
life, very many people, while not failing
to condemn that last sin and to regret
that any candidate who has such dark
fact in his history should have been
nominated for the presidency, would
refuse to bring it up against him now.
The question whether he is a man of
correct life at present, therefore, has
the utmost Importance. Upon this
point testimony differs, but the weight
of it certainly is adverse to Gov. Cieve-
land. The authors Of the various refu-
tatlons declare that he is not corrupt,
and, of course, believe so. But their
testimony is neither more sincere nor
more weighty than that-even leaving
out of account The Buffalo Evening
Telegraph and the Rev. DR.. Ball, whose
evidence has not been discredited-of
numerous other gentlemen, ministers
and laymen, in Buffalo and elsewhere,
who contradict them squarely. We
should be more than glad if we could see
our way to believe the refutations, but
we are constantly receiving new evidence
on the matter, and the better opportuni
ties our informants seem to have had of
knowing the actual facts the more en-
phatic is their testimony aginst Gov.
Cleveland.

One Of the effects Of permitting large
tracts Of western lands to be taken u,
by nonresident foreign capitalists has
already begun to make itself felt. The
Republican referred some time ago tt
the effort which was made by a large
number of Englishmen to obtain per
mission from the English authorities tc
ship cattle from Wyoming and Montana
into Canada and England, and noticed
that apparently their zeal was not en-.
tirely disinterested' The scheme as
proposed by Messrs. Liugham and Frew-
han is to ship the live stock owned by
the English companies here by the
Canada Pacific railway, thence down the
lakes to Montreal to the British mar
kets. The object is not only to avoid
the payment of freight to American
railroads, but also to divert the cattle
trade in all its branches from points like
Omaha, Kansas City, St. Louis and
Chicago. The detriment of this scheme
to the live stock business interests of
the country would be incalculable, while
railroads owned and controlled by Amer
lean capital, which to some extent are
dependent upon cattle shipments for
their prosperity, would find their invest
ments rapidly depreciating. The first
check which the project has received
has come from Canada. Sir John A.
Mcdonald, Canadian premier, has ex-
pressed unqualified condemnation of it,
regarding it Gas detrimental to the best
''intcrests of the dominion, and fraught
with the greatest danger to Canadian
Farmers and cattle raisers." He intends
to oppose the measure to the utmost,
and perhaps in this indirect manner will
benefit America and undo what short
sighted system of legislation in this coun-
try has made possible.-Republican.

A FLEET of 80 steam vessels owned
by the China navigation company, and
dong business on the Chinese coast and
rivers, has been sold to a New York
firm of China merchants. This has been
done to prevent interruption in the large
trade, which the fleet is engaged in, by
the impending war between France and
China. Under the transfer the vessels
have been given the protection of the
American flag. We should not be sur
prised to see this sale followed by num-
erous other similar transfers, and while
the war lasts the Stars and Stripes will
float pretty numerously in Chinese wa
tiers, and play an important part as a
protector Of Chinese commerce.-Bee.

The campaign is a little dull, that's &
fact. We don't know what Is the, mat
ter with the old machine, but there
isn't as much buzz and hum about it as
usual. 1t will doubtless liven up some
as the weeks go by, but the present in.
dications are for small vote. IF the
Ohio election should be unexpectedly
close in October, the caldron will in
stantly begin to boil over, but just now
it doesn't even simmer. Ben Butler S
sensational plunge into the theater of
war has excited no interest. He will
apparently cut a small figure. The
army Of workingmen that he was to call
from the vastly deep do not seem to
materialize the enthusiasm that he was
to create is absolutely wanting, and out
side of Michigan, where the greenback-
ers and democrats have fused, there is
not even languid curiosity as to his
action and effect. 1t is dull. The DEM
ocratic obsequles will take place in
November as usual, but they will be
very quiet and orderly, with few spec
tators and no mourners. Topics.

FRANCIS MURPHY said in Chicago.

FRANCIS MURPHY said in Chicago, a
few days ago, 81 have never known,
during my whole experience as tenn
perance lecturer, where the organiza-
ton of third party has ever helped
the cause of temperance, but it has al
ways injured it. This is true in the
state of Maine, and it is true in the
state of Massachusetts, The organiza-
ton of third party has injured the
cause there, and has been the means of
repeating the prohibition law. 1t was a
third party that injured it in the state
of New Hampshire. Every vote that is
cast for a third party will strengthen
the rum power" The above is sub
stantially our position, in regard to the
prohibition movement now in progress
in different parts of the nation. While
we favor any agitation that will prescribe
intemperance and ameliorate the condi-
ton of an outraged people, the move
ment will have to be productive of bet
ter results than have marked it hereto
fore, to engage our active sympathies.
