Dear Sir-I was a delegate with you to the

opposed the nomination of Blaine.
MY opposition was based upon the idea that
you and other Republicans in New York and
Massachusetts were unfriendly to him, and I
feared this might endanger his election. You
voted for Edmunds, voted for sherman We
could not defeat Blaine, because he was the sec

Columbus Special.
The Hon. Joseph / Irwin chairman of the
Republican central committee, was delegate
from this district to the Chicago convention
Before the convention Mr.. Irwin was opposed to
Blaine, and voted for John Sherman but after
Blaine had been nominated, like all true Repub-
licans should do, he bowed in submission to the
will of the people, and is now, as he has always
been, an ardent and Jealous Republican, lending
his every aid for the success of the Republican
ticket. On July II, Mr.. Irwin wrote to George
VIM Curtis the following letter, supposing Of
course. that Mr. Curtis could explain why he
has pursued the course he has in boiling the
Republican ticket but after waiting this long
for an answer and having received none, Mr.
Irwin has come to the conclusion that Mr.. Curtis
can not answer the questions propounded there
in, and we herewith give it to the public.

looked for immensely, and we expect that vote
to result in the formation Of party with Butler
at its head that will sweep the country in 1888.
SIS that the absolute belief Of ali the leaders
who support Butlerf
at is Do you suppose for moment that
Butler is going to spend his money and give all
his time to canvass or that we are going to de-
vote our time, money and energy to a cause from
which no practical results are to be achievedf
No, sir. Butler is not that kind of a politician.
He knows he cannot be elected this time, he
left the Republican party for good: now after
receiving honors at the hands Of the Democratic
party, he is deliberately going to leave 1t Tor
ever. Practical man that he is, do you suppose
that he wants to throw away all his chances to
follow an elusive shadow in the presidential
path9 Do you suppose that such bralny man
would sacrifice his eminence in the DemocraIlc
party to make an unsuccessful light for the
presidency if he did not foresee some great ana
tangible results to folow9"
What results, may askY
eSimply these Four years from now there
will be four great parties in the presidential
field. Strange as my assertion may seem, one
of the most dangerous of the parties will be the
Prohibition party It will make great fight
and take many solid votes from the Republican
and Democratic ranks Then there will be the
great party which the vote of this election will
show Butler to have behind him. Several great
men in the Democratic party will give their adj
herence to it after election. Among them will
be John Kelly, Harrison of Illinois, Blackburn
of Kentucky, Hurd of Ohio, Belmont of New
York, and Lamar Of Mississippi Then there
will be the two old parties considerably weak
ened by the loss of membership from their
ranks With the labor vote, the anti-monopoly
vote, the socialist vote and the floating never
to-be-satisfed VOTE Ben Butler expects to win

Marvellous Horsemanship.

[St. Petersburg Cor London Standard
This morning witnessed wonderful
display Of horsemanship. 1t took place in
the Petrofsly Park. Here, in the pres.
euce Of the Grand Duke Nicholas, and
most OF the foreign officers an guests, the
regiment Of Cossack Guards went through
an extraordinary series Of exercises which
threw the most daring feats Of tho circus
into the shade. The entire regiment passed
at full galop, in loose order, wit many
OF the mrn standing upright in their sad.

heads and picking up stones from the
ground, and yet regainins their seat
While performing these feats all were
brandlshing their sabers and firing pistols
throwing their carbines into tho air and
catching them again, and yelling lik,
maniAcs. Some men went past In
pairs, standing with leg on each
others horses-one wild fellow carried
Off another dressed as woman. The eff
feet Of the scene was absolutely bswilder
ing, and IL seemed as IL tho whole regi
ment had gone mad. Upon a signal being
given, the regiment divided into two
parts. One rode of; then halted and
made their horses lie down on the ground
lie beside them,Iwaitlng as In war the ap-
proach Of the enemy. The other section
OF the regiment then charged down, and
In an instant every horse was on his feet
every rider In his saddle, and with wilt
yell they rode at their supposed enemy
When the maneuvers were over, the rrgi
mont rode past, singing, and uncom nonly
well together, military chorus. Alto
gether, II was q marvellous exhibition oi
daring horsemanship, and one hardly
knew whether to admire the docility nnt
mettle of the steeds or che skill and cour
age of the riders. All the foreign officers
and guests were no less astonishsd thai

allow, and, unlike most little girls OF
her aga, When she came home she did
not, care to run out in the street and
play at 'tag" or 'hide-and-seek," but
instead staid at home and relieved her
mother of the care of her younger
brothers and sisters. and acted the part
Of small housewife.
The other evening, about half past
nine, little Julie sat in room on one OF
the lower floors patiently waiting for
her mother to come in that she might
go to bed. She had just put her little
baby sister to sleep in the back room,
and as Julie sat waiting so quietly, her
half-closed eyes and frequent yawns
told only too well that the "dustman"
was on his rounds.
Suddenly, as she sat there, some
bright sparks fell from the ceiling and
smouldered on the floor. Almost ut the
same instant number of the tenants
who lived upstairs ran wildly through
the hall and past the door, screaming:
"Firel fre!' at the top of their voices.
In another moment the flames appeared
in the very room in which little Julia
sat. She heard the cries of fire
and the people rushing madly
into the street. But there was
no one to to tell her what to do, or even
to think OF her, in that moment OF ex-
element.
Perhaps good many Of the little
girl readers of Young People, II they
had been in Julia's place, would have
screamed and run out of the house as
quickly as they could. But that was
not what brave little Julia thought Of
as she saw the sparks falling about her,
and the red glare of the fast approach
lug .'ames.
No, indeed: for she knew that In the
back room her baby sister slept uncon-
scious of any danger, and the brave lit.
tie girl thought first of her duty to that
helpless infant. So, without thinking
twice. she dashed forward, and CROPPED
through the smoke and falling sparks
until she reached the baby's crib. Then,
snatching out the little two-year-old,
sleeping peacefully as it was in its lit
tie night dress-a pretty heavy burden,
too, for 80 small girl-and clasping it
tightly in her arms, she ran out Of the
room, struggling through the smoke Of
the hall, until at last she reached the
open air.
She did not stop even then, but ran
on until she had reached the opposite
side of the street. There she sat down
on convenient rock and watched the
fire, still holding her little sister tightly
to her breast to protect her from the
cold. And in this position, after hunt
ing all over, and almost concluding
that Julie had perished in the aames,
her mamma and the neighbors found
her.
Brave little girl! Though only eight
years old, when danger threatened she
did not have TO be told what was right
for her to do, nor did she for moment
lose her presence of mind, but brayely
rescued her baby sister.
So, little' girl readers, think what q
brave little girl Julie Brohmer was, and
try to learn from her brave act lesson
OF courage and self-coutrol.-Hdrper'

A Little Heroine.

Just between the towns of Hobokeu
and Weehawken, in New New Jersey,
lies the little hamlet OF Union Hill, an
old-fashioned village, peopled mostly
by Germans, and in this village has
stood for many years a great frame
building, used principally as a hotel,
and known 10 all the towns-people by
the name Of "The Old Swan"
In years gone by this place was
quite famous resort, but IL gradually
ran down until il became at length a
cheap boarding house.
Among the many inmates OF the
building were Julie Brohmer, little
