the political situation says: 'The average
New York men, if they attempt to go into the

democratic kickers, and something depends
upon the hardest kicking, its location and the
bearing thereof. The discontinued republicans
of New York appear more formidable when
viewed ut distance than close at hand The

| How Alvin HouE;ps oovarnor NJ
zee, says that if the Republicans will exert
themselves they can carry the state this fall
In 1880, he says, the Republicans made net
gain in Tennessee of Is, 600 votes over former
| elections and the Democrats lost through the
| Greenbsckers and Republicans about 3 ,UO
votes. The Republican gains. he thinks, can
DO 30 incroasod this time Al to give them the
ELECTORAL vote of this state.
| Judge J. s. OConncr, formerly . resident Of
Washington, and an officer of the old Irish
brigade during the war, writes as follows to
friend here concerning the feeling among the
Irish voters of New York City, where the
judge has been in law business for some time
past:
| Referring to the political situation, to
lookeron it would appear that the backbone of
the Democrat party here is broken The dis
affection among our people from the Democra-
| tic ranks IL something wonderful, and cause
Of much alarm to the old war horses of the
party, which was laid, although enormously,
| to our own people. No matter where l turn
the success of Blaine aud Logan is looked up
on a. o foregone conclusion
| Themeeting in Chickering hall New York of
the Irish American Independents was .
thorough Blaine and Logan rally and must be
regarded rs one of the most pronounced de-
monstrations, SO far, of the Republican
campaign. The building was crowded to over
flowing, and the assemblase, which numbered
three thousand enthusiastic as it was unani-
moua Merchant, middleman and laborer sat
side by side, and applauded every sentiment of
the speakers, Rev. DR.. Pepper, of Wooster,
| O., said they had come together to defeat tho
candidate supported by the London times. He
predicted that in November next Gov. Cleve-
land would be buried so deeply that the sound
Of Gabriers trumpet would never reach him
Not one in ten 1rishmen in Ohio would vote
| for Cleveland Catholics are all opposed to
him. ExJudge Brennan Of Sioux CRY, Iowa,
said he had come fourteen hundred miles to be
present at the meeting The Democrats had
said for forty years because they were Irish
they must vote the Democratic ticket It was
now time to say they would vote the Republi-
can ticket for the same reason
Among the more prominent callers at repub-
lcan headquarters New Yolk was Senator sabin
Of Minnesota He has been for the past few
days making careful examination of the polit-
| ical outlook in the Eastern states, and he said:
II continue more hopeful of republican success
every day live. If the election were to be
| held I think Mr.. Blaines majority in New York
| at least would be surprise to his friends and
foes alike. The feeling Of personal regard for
| him is certainly very wonderful, and the tor
rents of abuse which his enemies have poured
upon him has signally failed of its mission
People, I think, are tired of this sort of cam
paigning. 1t is . method which has sadly out
grown it's usefulness
