the whole country, q holder who was

a visitor desired to see him.

In five minutes the messenger
came back with the announcement
that it was very important business

A third time the messenger disap.
peared, but third time returned tc
say: "IIe says it's a case OF life and
death. Sir.

pens that many of then prefer the
cheaper imported contract labor to le-
gitimate home labor and legitimate
wages.
Up in the anthracite coal region the
Republicans seem inclined to go farth-
er than the mere employment of impor-
ted contract labor. Last week they
gathered up $50 Hungarians in the
Hazleton region, shipped them to
Wilkesbarre and naturalized them, free
of cost, to vote the Republican ticket
at the next election.
1t is hardly to be expected that Cal.

TUESDAYS ELECTION.

Next Tuesday the state elections
will be held in Ohio and West Virgin
ia The latter is conceded to the Dem.
ocrats, and in the former the prospects
are daily Frightening. Samuel J. Ran
dali has been making speeches in both
states, and a few days ago, on being
asked his views as to the prospects of
the Democracy in the States he had
visited he said "There has at least
been a material change in them since
the opening of the campaign, when
the Republicans claimed Ohio by any
where from 10000 to 1000 and boast
ed that they would capture West Vir-
ginia. Now they have practically Civ
en- up the latter State and there is no
doubt that it will be carried by the
Democrats by over 5000. AS to Ohio,
the Democratic organization is thor.
ough and efficient-as vigorous and
complete as it was in 1SS8-and ali el-
ements are united and harmonious. The
Democratic managers claim that they
have as good reasons for expecting to
carry the State now as they had then,
and l saw no reason for doubling it.
The desperation of the Republicans is
manisest in the fact that they only
claim 10000, and that to secure even
this Mr.. Blaine had to be recalled to
canvass nearly every town in person.
In their alarm they will resort to ev
erything and with unlimited money
and other resources may accomplish a
small plurality, but there is every good
reason for hope that the Democrats
will win"
Mr.. Randall has seen Mr.. Hendricks
during his Western tour and says the
Vice Presidential candidate has born,
the fatigues of this campaign very
well, though he looks a little thin. HI
has done very effective work, ant
though twice involved in railroad acoi
dents escaped injury and has failed t.
keep no engagement. Mr.. Hendricks
regards Indiana as entirely safe for thu

DR.. w. b. Forrest, one Of the cleo
tors on the Republican ticket for New
York has resigned from his position
beoau Sc he cannot conscientously sup
port James G.. Blaine. Like a thun-
derbolt from clear sky came the fol
lowing letter, addressed to Mr. John
ID. Warren, the Chairman of the Re
publican State Committee
"SlR l wish to tender my resigna-
ton as Republican elector for this
State, / am sorry to say that /
cannot comsciontiously support the
present nominee for President, James
o. Blaine. | remain yours respect
fully, w. T.. FoRREsr"
Since the receipt of this letter few
days ago the members of the State and
National Republican committees have
been at their wits ends what to do
about it. They have carefully hushed
up the matter and have brought every
influence to bear on DR.. Forrest to in.
duce him to withdraw his resignation.
But the Doctor has stood firm to his
convictions and neither threat of pun
ishment nor promise of reward could
induce him to promise TO vote for a
candidate against the dictates of his
conscience.

The Boston Herald says Mr.

ter of April l6, 1876, that certain per-
sons and papers were trying to throw
mud at him to injure his candidacy be-
fore the Cincinnati convention, recalls
what Proctor Knott told him to his
face on that point during the memora-
BILE debate in the House of Represen
tatives on June 2, 1876. The gentle
man insinuates, said Mr.. Knott, that
it is the settled purpose of the Judici-
ary Committee to do something or 9TH
or that may, peradventure, prevent him
from receiving the nomination at the
coming convention at Cincinnati.

that so far as any one Of my colleagues
are concerned, we are perfectly willing
that he shall receive that nomination.
If in the pending campaign we cannot
defeat the gentleman from Maine, God
knows our case is hopeless entirely
so. If he should receive the nomina-
ton and be elected in the face of all
the facts, all we can say is may the
Lord have mercy on the American peo-
pie.
