The gum-heads in congress are still
anxious to say something for publica-
ton about the action of Bismarck on the
Lasker resolutions, 1t would be wiser to
be quieter. The government of the
United States should attend to its own
affairs-at least it should let the affairs
of other governments alone. Congress
has nothing to do with the political clubs
of foreign countries-whether they be
"home rulers" and ''Iand leaguers' in
Ireland, "Bonapartists' in France, or
the Liberal unions" in Germany-and
no outgivings of such organizations
should be received by our government.

a banker of large means, of irreproach-

he will get the support of the New York
delegation at Chicago. and that being
entirely acceptable to the financial inter
ests of the north, he can carry the state

The Cleveland Scandal.


New York. Aug. ll-Ever uince the
publication of the story about the illicit
relations between Gov. Cleveland and
Maria Halpin, the woman has been an
object of unusual interest both to demo.
Gratis and republicans, the former hoping
to secure statement from her refutipg
the story, the latter hoping to prevent
any such action. For the last FIVE years
she has been living with an adopted
father, j. A. Seacord, at New Rochelle,
Westchester county. That town has
since been full of detectives, politicians
and lawyers OF both parties. Last
Thursday the woman disappeared, and
both parties claim to have her in hand
and know her whereabouts, and both
claim to have statement from her to be
used at the proper time if necessary. A

depot, just in time to catch the train for
New York. A detective guard under
the leadership of Officer Kane, was at
the depot and saw the lady pass down
the steps and enter a car unmolested,
and in fact unoticed by any of the
republican emergency men," lmme.
diately behind her three or four gentle
men who had been waiting on the plat.
form, entered the same car and quietly
took seats. They passed the time in
conversation on casual subjects until
the train arrived at the Grand Central
depot. Here Mrs. Halpin entered q
coach in waiting, and two of the gen.
tlemen stepped in after her. The coach
ratified away along Forty. y.second street
towards the west side. and was soon lost
to sight.
REPUBLICAN, srATEMENT: Widow Hal.
pin has arrived in New York. She has
been captured bv an agent of the state
republican committee here. The dem.
ocratlc national committee thought they
had her under control, but they were
not vigllant enough, and SO she has
escaped them. She arrived heie last
evening, and is now in secure place
1t is not proposed to use the widows
evidence in any way unless Gov
Cleveland attempts to deny the charges
Mrs. Halpin has made complete state

certain the promised defense OF Cleve

alone depends upon the sllepcing o.

A New York special says that among
Tuesdays earliest visitors at the republi.
can headquarters was Emmons Blaine,
the oldestson of the republican candidate.
He was the bearer of several important
messages from his father to the campaign
managers tbere,and after delivering them
to Chairman Jones he remained in con-
ference with Mr.. Elkins and Mr.. Fessen-
den for some time. Young Blaine takes
hopeful view of the campaign and says
that his father feels equally sanguine in
regard to the result. In conversation
he stated also that Mr.. Blaine was in
excellent health and spirit. "There is
not the slightest foundation OF truth in
the sensational story about my fathers
despondency." he continued. HE has
the most sangulne views about the cam.
paign, and is thoroughly satisfied with
the outlook. My father is not the man
to get discouraged, even is there was any
cause for it, but it so happens in this
case that he seems to think he has every
reason to feel in very good spirits over
his prospects,"
