the man chosen by the republicans for con,
gress.
At the Seventh Iowa district republican con-
vention II. G. Smith and /. Fl. COnger were
dominated for congress, the former fOr the
short and the latter for the long term.
Gen. J. l. Chamberlain, president of Bow
doin college, Me-, who has been claimed as a
Cleveland man, is out In a card saying he shall
vote for Blaine.
Encouraging reports have been received at
/ the Wisconsin republican headquarters at Mil
yankee from the strong German districts.
The detection Of which the democrats speak is
nowhere visible.
Col. P. j. Condor Of Topeka, Ksns., who is
well informed regarding the political feeling
of his countrymen in that state, says that o
large proportion of Irishnen are for Blaine in
all W throughout Kansas.
Ex-senator George e. Spencer OF Alabama,
says of Blaine's chances in the south: ''The
prospect of carrying Louisiana is first-rate,
and there is a strong PROBABILITY OF West Vir-
ginia and North Carolina going Republican
We shall, at any rate, gain some Republican
congressman in the South on the protective is
sue.
The Wisconsin Republicans will have a rally
at Madison, Sept 8, the date of the state con-
vention. Gen. Logan, Gov. Long Of Masschu-
sets, Gov. Dick Oglesby of Illinois are the
speakers who have promised to be present.
This will be the principal meeting OF the cam
paign Of Wisconsin
Cassius M. Clay, of Kentucky, comes out for
Mr.. Blaine, being much moved by the Copiah
outrages, which he thinks a part of the gem
eral policy of I he South: ''This is not q
conflict" he says, between parties, but be-
tween two distinct civilizations which cannot
coexist"
The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette sums
up the argument against Governor Cleveland
very c~oncisely as follows: "Grover Cleve-
land was q professed lawyer who had found
running for the Office OF sheriff more profta-
BILE than the law, and from that had been elect
ed mayor. This in a large city indicates the
managing politician of a lower order, rather
than a man of ability and character"
Secretary Mcpherson has received a let
ter from Buffalo, the home of Cleveland,
which portrayed in glowing colors the pros
poets of Republican success. The Republicans
are thoroughly organized in every ward, there
being also a number of independent Democrat
Blaine and Logan clubs, having a large mem
bership. The writer predicts that Buffalo will
give Blaine fully 5000 majority.
The Wisconsin State Journal will publish a
card tomorrow from James Burke, a promi-
nent Irish-American, who has been a pro-
nounced Democrat for thirty years past, in
which he earnestly advises his fellow Irish cit
liens TO support Blaine and Logan and to re-
pudiate Cleveland, srgom he d%enounces as q
monopolist and gross insulter Of Irishmen-
The Kennebec (Me.) Journal, discussing the
charge that Blaine once belonged to the Know
nothing party, says: 'fMr. Blaine was nevera
member of a K~nownothing organization. The
riotous proceedings against Catholic priests in
Bath and Ellsworth in 1854, which, it was as
serted, were excited, orat least not disapproved
by the Kennebec Journal, of which Mr.. Blaine
was editor, took place months previous to Mr..
Blaine becoming q resident of the state, and
months prior to his becoming the editor OF the
Kennebec Journal"
The papers heretofore Republican that do
notsupport Blaine and Logan are very few in
number. They are the Boston Advertiser, the
Springfield Republican, the New York Times,
Harper's Weekly and the New York Independ-
emit These comprise all of them.
Prof. J. NJ Gregory Of Howard university,
has just returned from Ohio, where he has
spoken at Cleveland and other places. Ia
Ohio, he said, there appeared 10 be better or
ganization and more enthusiasm among the
Republicans than in the Garfield campaign.
The liquor question was not involved IN this
campaign, and the Germans, who are Republic
cans at heart, would support Blaine. Prof.
Gregory had no doubt that Ohio would be
carried for Blaine and Logan. The friends Of
GARFIELD are stronger, he said, and they are
attached to Blame.
In q dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette Murat Halstead says: The fact that
~ Gwa AaAH - A~AA14 - - - "A ~
welfare of the republic depends upon the con-
tinued ascendency Of the republicans party is
testimony Of the integrity Of his Judgment He
has had differences with Mr.. Blaine, but does
not remember them in any narrow and captious
spirit, and while he does not think that he
should go to the frontin the presidential cam
daign, he does not hesitate to make known that
the republican Ncket has his good wishes, and
80 far as his personal influence can 20. his
earnest support John Finerty, the Irish con-
g g,si,;ans m from os, says; Blaine i :
the boldest living representative OF the demo-
cratic Monroe doctrine. / don't believe Blaine
would lead us into war with any nation. He il
too shrewd for that, but / believe he would
make the power OF America felt ant respected
IN 2 proper way everywhere. 1t lie singular
that he has made his greatest reputation by
6xpounding . democratic doctrine
