TAe Bishop of 4lbany on Cleveland.

The truth works to the surface at last and
confounds the falsehood. The Blaine man
ayers have for months been at work spread
ing reports that Governor Cleveland was a
bigot, and that he was at heart a bitter
enemy of the Catholic church A few weeks
ago, General Charles Tracey, of Albany.
leading Catholic representative, wrote to the
Pilot refutation of this charge. Certain
Catholic papers have attacked Gen. Tracey,
and have reiterated the Blaine SANDER. A
Republican circular has been issued to the
same effect, asking Catholics to ''write to
any Catholic bishop or priest in the state OF
New York for the confederation of these
statements
A number of prominent New York gentle.
men took the rascals at their word and wrote
to the Catholic bishop who must know most
about Governor Cleveland's character,
namely, the Rt. Rev. DIR. McNierny, bishoE
OF Albany. They asked the bishop this di
rect question:
''By your residence at the capital and in thu
ne1ghborhood of the executive mansion the of
fetal residence of the Governor, and by your &C
qualntance with him, you possess peculiar faciI
tiles for observation as to his course We there
fore, would ask you if the charge of bigotry
against Governor Cleveland be true, aud whether
or not he has exhibited it or anything akin to il
during his administration or shown that he was
lnlmical or unfriendly to the religious denom-
lnation OF which you are q respectable prelate,
or to its institutions?'
Bishop McNeirny's answer is full and
emphatic. 1t substantiates every word of
General Tracy's letter, and ought to silence
those Catholic organs that work for Blaine by
attacking the character of the Democratic
candidate. The bishop says:
''ln answer would beg leave to say that I
have followed with some interest the COVER
nor since his assumption of the duties of the
chief executive of state, and relying solely
on my resources of personal llBowle9ge, an
aware of no act of his administration which
would argue narrow, antolerant spirit OF
hostility to the Catholic church or her insti-
tutions. On the contrary, from what has
come under my observation, 1 am led to be-
ieve that he is free from bias and enmity
against Catholics and actuated by spirit of
fair dealing toward the Catholic church and
her interests
twill be interesting to observe what new
form of reputation murder the Blaine agents
will resort to now.

Trial of MAJORS Hired Men.

Especial Correspondence of the Globe.
MoNTEvIDEo, Oct. 27.-Last weeks issue
Of the Montevideo Leader, fairly eclipses the
Pioneer Press, in advocating Major Strait,
and denouncing Donnelly. 1 undertook to
clip all the items both for Major Strait and
against Donnelly, and paste them in my scrap
book.
continued the process of clipping and
FASTING, until there was not piece of paper
left large enough to past over ''knot hole"
If all the county papers in the district, are
as ardent in their support of the major, their
influence together with all the postmasters,
and political nuisances, canvassing and
speaking in this district for him, surely
should be able to defeat Mr.. Donnelly, if he
is one tenth part as mean q man as they try
make him out to be. The trouble is they
have overdone the thing, just as the priest
did when trying to convert the
Indian, he told him of very
many miracles, all about Jonah and the
whale, and finally about the casting into the
frey furnace, when the Indian exclaimed,
''that is a ID big lie, don't believe the
fish story now" So the farmers are entirely
disguised with the multitude of false state
ments, and refuse to believe any of them.
They say that it is impossible that three
different conventions of men, all acquainted
with Mr.. Donnelly and his record for years,
should nominate him if he was such dis
honest scamp. Farmers are not such terri
BILE fools after all. They have been fooled
for some years into supporting the present
Republican political machine, but it is played
out. The present low prices on all their pro-
duce has caused them to study more closely
into the laws OF cause and effect, and they
conclude that the ratio of their proportion is
a minus quantity.
In very fact they realize it, and
know it, and Donnelly's ringing
speeches have struck like an olive
branch upon their torlorn ark.
They are solid for him, and all the continen-
tai liars on earth, all the money, all the Blaine
and Logan clubs with noisy drums and far
ing torches, cannot induce them to swerve
from their course. In the history of nations
whenever the people have come to be thor
onghly aroused, oppression has always been
compelled to get down and out, and in these
later days of liberty and equality, the present
oppressive principles of the Republican party
leaders and manipulators must, like Bel
shazzer, hear interpreted the handwriting on

AIarshals for North Carolina.


WARRINGTON, Oct. 2S.-The departure
from this city of ex-senator Chaffee and
Mr.. R. C. Kerns, of st. Louis, for North
Carolina, means some sort of election devil

the day of the Ohio election, was stationed

The Gail Hamilton Editorial.

WASHINGTON, Oct 2S.-The Star says the
Gail Hamilton article against the Stalwarts,
Endorsed by Blaine, is looked on as ga great
find" by the Democrats, and some Republic
cans speak Of it as likely to have bad af-
feet upon Blaine's cause in New York. A
very prominent Republican said to Star
reporter:
Don't you think that is likely to arouse
the ire of the stalwartsa fear it will. The
shaking of Conkling out of the senate and
the manner of Folger's defeat are all fresh
in their minds, and the republishing of that
editorial at this time is unfortunate. Don't
you think so? I understand from the TIL
bu'se's staff that the reproduced Gail
Hamilton manuscript is genuine, but
that Blaine's endorsement is forgery.
If they can only prove that it will be all
right, but the handwriting is certainly like
Blaine's. 1t may be another Morey frsud,
but one certainly can't tell that from Blaine's
writing and signature. 1t is serious. 1t
may bring Conkling out 1t gives the
friends of Folger an opportunity to knife
Blaine and revenge themselves. They need
never be found out. 1t is serious. Don't
you think so9"

NTelyiIle,s Miseries

APhiladclphia, Pa, dispatch says: When
Chief Engineer George w. Melville returned
from his Jeanette cruise, about two years
ago, he was confronted with bills to the
amount of 50, 900 or $4,000, contracted by
his wife during his absence. These bills he
refused to pay. One of them, that of Z. p.
Howell d. Co. for $3.50 for paper-hanging in
the engineers house tSharon hill, was sued
upon, and this morning the case came up
for trial before Judge Gerkes. The plaintiffs
proved that the work was ordered by Mrs
Melville; that the paper was hung, and that
upto that time there had never been any pa
per upon the walls. Engineer Melville testi-
fed that he had never intended to have the
walls papered, that on leaving the country in
April, 1879, his salary was $50 so a month,
of which he allotted 800 to his wife, and 500
towards the eXtinguishment Of a mortgage
on his house; that his salary was afterward
increased $50 q month, all of which increase

to bis wife, so that for thirteen months sh3
had an income OF $40 month on which to
support herself and three children, but that
upon his return he found that she had moi
paid the taxes on the house and had contrac.
ted bills to an amount greater than he was
able 10 pay. The ease went to the jury upon
the question of the necessity of the paper
hanging to preserve the house in proper con-
dition and the verdict was for the defendant.

multiplying words make the issue any
palmer than that. believe when
/ look into your faces that leave that issue in

will show that she is not to be diverted by any
side issue, especially by questions which cannot
be settled this year, and which will only tend to

ent Importance.
How does that kind of talk strike such
men as Gen. Sanborn and Gordon e. Cole,
for instance, here in Minnesota. How does
it strike such tariff dodgers as Milo White, j..
B.Wakefeld, H. B. Strait, and Knute Nelson,
who endeavored to carry free trade on
one shoulder and the Republican party on
the otherl How does it strike the valiant
Pioneer Press which has been blowing hot and
cold for free trade and the Republican party,
and just now is very hot for Blaine?
Here is direct slap in the face to all of
these gentlemen. If they cannot accept the
dogma of protection in all its length and
breadth, they are invited to step over into
the Democratic party. This frankness
on the part of Mr.. Blaine
is born of desperation and feeling that de-
feat is inevitable. The defiant Salamanca
speech was made for the purpose of forming
a basis of new party organization and also
for dying appeal to the manufacturers to
come down with their ''soap."
1t will not avail. The die is cast, and in
the speech quoted, as read between the
lines, Mr.. Blaine surrenders all hope of vic
tory next Tuesday and casts an anchor to
the windward for new enterprise, in which
he hopes not to prove dead head.

Defending Steele.
Especial Telegram to the Globe |

Especial telegram 10 the GlOOe.
JAMESTOWN, OAK, Oct. 2S.-At a Repub-
lican mass meeting at the court house to-
night, called by the county central commit
tee, preamble and resolutions were adopted
depreciating the action of the central Repub-
lican committee of Barnes county, in endors-
ing three Democrats on the legislative ticket
for the Ninth district, instead of three of the
candidates, Richardson, Steele and
Stevens, and the daily Capital of
this city in its refusal to
support Mr.. Steele, and resolving that the
Republicans of Stutsman county will use their
best endeavors to secure the election of
Johnson Nicllens and Chas. Richardson for
the council, and Steele, Stevens and Will
liams to the lower house, and that it is the
opinion of this convention that the daily
Capital does not express the sentiments of
the community and certainly not of the Re-
publicans of this county when it attacks the
character of w. F. Steele as it has heretofore
done.

other states. The greater portion of the
money has been placed in this city and
Brooklyn, in the hopes of drawing away
some of the workingmen from Cleveland
The money has been spent in the formation
of clubs, expenses of speeches at meet
ings, in printing and paying the
usual crowd of strikers, who are very noisy
for liquor. The money was received from
the Republicans in amounts of SO, 900, So
600 and $4,000 at time as fast as it was re-
quested. About week ago the money ran
short and there was about SIS, 900 to be
paid. This amount has since been liqudated
by the Republican committee, and now there
is another large sum necessary for
the past weeks expenses. Besides
this large amount expended, upward
of 800, 900 will be required from now until
election is over to do any good. The Repub-
lican committee claims to be short of funds,
and whether it can raise this amount is
doubtful. If they do not the Butler vote on
election day will sink out of sight. The
managers of the Butler campaign appear
very much disappointed at the prospects, and
now claim only one-half the votes they ex
pected to get month ago.
1t is more than likely that the collapse is a
part of the trick is beat Cleveland. Having
got lot of the Peoples party thoroughly i'm
bued with the idea that Cleveland mnst be
beaten because he is the foe of
the workingmen, the plan is
now to place the vote for Blaine
instead of throwing it away on Butler.
Whether the plan will work remains to be
seen. The workingmen may permit them
selves to be used as cats paws with which to
pull the Blaine chestnuts out of the fire, but
if is rather doubtful. They may, however,
have the pleasure Of being burned for their
pains.

Sam paid no attention to them, however, but
went on the even tenor of his way and turned
out better than any Of them. His father was
Ezekiel L. Cox, one of the officeholding
politicians Of the county, who, though not
rich, possessed enough means to give Sam
college education. After he graduated he
went back 70 GAINESVILLE and studied law, and
tnen made grand stroke by marrying into
the rich Buckingham family of GAINESVILLE.
This gave him a start and the influence Of
one of the most powerful families of southern
Ohio helped him along. He soon ranked

BLAINE. THE KNOW NOrHING

Blaine has grown so Injured to the habit of
capable Of discriminating between the truth
and falsehood. Blaine has denied that he
was a Know Nothing in 1856, but it has
been proved he lied. AS if to more fully en-
tangle himself he has declared he was dele
gate to the Republican convention of 1856
that nominated Fremont, and to verify that
falsehood he took the driveling old man
along on his ''tour," to clinch the lie. But
how does Fremont know of his own personal
knowledge that Blaine was at the conven-
ton. Fremont was not there himself. With
the foolishness of imbecility he takes the
false statement of Blaine and upon it pre-
dicates false statement of his own. But
even two distinguished Presidential candi-
dates, (neither of them elected) cap not turn
a lie into the truth.
But here comes the truth of the matter.
following statement in the Free Press of that
citys
Well, have looked up the files of the New
York Semi-Weekly Tribune of June 20, 1856,
in which a very full report is given of the pro-
ceedings of that convention. 1t mentions every
motion, every officer, every speech, every COM
mittee, every report. every debate. The con-
vention lasted parts of three days, commencing
June II and ending June 10, at p. m. Mark
Il. Drennel (DunneD was the Maine committee
man on credentials. Henry Carter was the
Maine committeeman on platform. George NJ.
Weston was the Maine committeeman on perma-
nent organization. A. p. Morrow (Morrill
the Maine vice president, and Joseph Bartlett
was the Maine executive committeeman.
Ex-Gov. Kent, OF Maine, made motion, and the
same gentleman made a speech. But James G.
Blaine is not mentioned delegate, and his
name appears nowhere in the proceedings.
In this case, as in all others where Blaine
undertakes statement of fact, the record is
against him.
