An ardent republican in Harrisburg, Pa, is
prepared to bet 81 900 that Blaine will be tho
next president, and another s. 900 that he viii
carry New York; 81 600 that he will get more
majority in Pennsylvania than the combined
majorities for Cleveland in New York, New Jer-

General Thomas Ewing says of Mr.. Blaine:
'He is my kinsman and my intimate friend.
In every private relation of life-as son, hus-
band father, friend-I know no kinder, purer
or better man. and among our public men he
stands unsurpassed as an embodiment OF the
spirit and genius of the American people.
don't believe if every letter he ever wrote an6
every word he ever uttered were published to
the world, that they would fssten on him
single act or thought of official corruption. ii
a man be true in all private relations, as from
his boyhood have known him to be, he is no.
likely to be false to the people.
Information has reached the national Repub-
lican committee that the Democratic managers
in Ohio have already begun to import voters
from Kentucky into their state for service al
the October election.
A member of the cabinet who spent day
with Cleveland at the funeral of Judge Folger,
says he was very much disappointed in the
man. He expected to find Mr.. Cleveland person
of broad views, with intelligence and pleasing
presence, but on the contrary discovered him
to be a logy stupid aud beefy individual, with
out energy of character or personal attractions
of any character. He is slow, prosy and phleg-
matte, dull in conversation, and of very ordin-
airy talents. He judges, from his short &C
quaintance, that he is a man of obstinacy, but
of low instincts and without any high purpose
of statesmanlike qualities Would he make
good president, do you Think" was asked
''No: | think he would make better police
man." was the reply.
Mr. Blaine answers the Shoemaker interrog-
atories in detail, telling in the main the same
story he told of his two marriages in Kentucky
and Pennsylvania in letter to William Wal
ter Phelps The story is wholly credible and
explains all the discrepancies of dates which
were the sole basis for the villainous imputa-
tons of the Sentinel. Legal proofs of the first
marriage will doubtless be forthcoming when
the case gets into court, if that ever happens.
Ex-Congressman Thomas F. Potter, "Old
Bowie Knife of East Troy, Wis, denies the
report that he has decided to vote against
Blaine He saws; II have been too many
10, ha N
time of life, TO repudiate the party to which
have been so long attached on account of Q
mistake and blunder which it has made.
Senator Gamer on says the small German de-
lection from Blaine in Wisconsin will be doubly
made up by Irish gains.
The meeting between Mr. Blaine and Mr..
Cameron resulted in a full and free under
standing between the two gentlemen as TO
their relations during the remainder of the
canvass The situation in Ohio, and the ne
cessity for hard, earnest work there was one of
ths principal features of the conversation
Mr. Blame started from New York last We'd
nesday On his visit to the West, passing up the
Hudson River and as far west as Syracuse
Wherever his train made a stop, even for
moment, large crowds were assembled and
the Great Republican was most enthusiastically
welcomed. Evidently Blaine is not so unpopu-
lar in the Empire state as he has been repre-
sented Mr.. Cleveland will be much impressed
with this fact the morning after election
Gen George H. Sharpe, one of the leading
New York stalwarts, says there is no truth in
the stories circulated to the effect that the
stalwarts are lukewarm in their support of the
national Republican candidates. They viii
heartily support Blaine, who will, in Gen.
Shapes opinion, carry New York State by 90.

Young Oliver T. Morton, son of the great
War Governor" is canvassing Indiana fol
Blaine and Logan, and draws largely wherever
billed to speak. His speech is described IS ex-
tremely effective, his method of reasoning he
ing very much like his fathers plain. simple

Senator Harrison. Mr.. Blaine's counsel in the
Indianapolis Sentinel libel suit. says he is con.
vinced that the Sentinel people viii make every
effort to prevent the case coming TO trial until
after the election He last week offered e pro
duee Mr. Blaine within six DAYS in court to an
swer the interrogat0ries filed by the defendants
II the trial would be pushed. This offer was
refused
