ONE of Mr.. BLAINE's objects in visit
ing tho West Mt this time is to influence,
II possible, tho Prohibitionists to with
draw ST.. JouN from the canvas. The
principal one, however, is to look out tor
tho election in Ohio. Tho Republican
managers are doubtful about the result
there, as well thoy may be, and arc en-
deavoring to bolster up their cause by
having both BLAINE and LOGAN TO
swing around tho circle in that State.
There can be no doubt tho German vote
in Ohio will influence the election either
way, and oven if they should not sup
port the Democratic State ticket their
votes will be given against BLAINE.

THE following, taken from the

tells the tale. 1t don't indicate that the
HERALD is suppressing any important
news Of general interest: "The foolish
policy of Saving at the spigot and vast
ing at tho bung' Is oxemplilied by tho
Gazette in cutting short and emitting
much interesting matter from its full
Associated Press dispatches. Itreceiyes
tho same report az the Dallas HERALD,
but publishes it in greatly abridged
form. This fact is "A subject of no little
comment among our citizens, many of
whom are transferring their patronage
from the Gazette TO the HERALD" The

idly in Fort Worth.

WHY THEY ARE EoR FREE GRASS.

II tho inquisitiv0 will look closely TO
the free grass sections of tho State, as
Indicated by the presence of free grass
organs, they will find that these organs
are located either in an Overwhelmingly
cattle district or in very poor agrlcul-
tural section. Tho fact is significant.
Under lease law whore 1t il possible
for the actual settler to locate ON any
public lands no may find, and whore the
power of the state il pledged to his pro-
lection, the counties that have the best
agricultural lands will naturally obtain
the immigration.
Under n FREQ grass regime, whore tho
stock men take their herders and line
riders and appropriate the bottom lands
To themselves and maintain their occu-
pancy Ivy force, there il but little chance
for the small agriculturalist and actual
settler. If he obtains a foothold, Unjust
be In some locality too poor TO tempt the
syndicatos, and whore their min
ions do not rulo tho range Mt tho mouth

The Strikes Endorsed.

Columns, o., Sept. GA citizens
meeting was held this evening to ex-
press sympathy with the locked out
miners Of Hearking Valley. A long
letter was read from w. p. Rend, of
Chicago, which endorsed the course of
the miners in refusing to accept the re-
duction, and dououncing the arbitrary
course of the operators. A letter
expressing sympathy was also
read from j. T. Fitzpatrick, of Cincin-
natl, President Of the Iron Moulders'
Union, aud Others. Addresses wero de-
livered by the President of the Ohio
Miners Association and tho miners
from the strike. Resolutions were
adopted condemning the course of the
operators, the placing of troops in the
valley and endorsing the strikers in
their movements so far.

The Mail says: at is now openly
limited that the programme mapped out
by the free grass men at tho Houston
convention was to make certain de-
mands, and in the event that they we're
rejected by the majority, TO withdraw
from the body and set up a separate
State ticket, with the Hon. PETER
SMITH at its head. The further infor-
nation Is vouchsaled that nothing but
our worthy Mayors absence from the
scene prevented its being carried into
execution" There may be smatter-
ing Of truth In the above, but the proba-
bilities are that "PETER the Propaga-
tor" would not consent to the arrange
ment. He has aspirations it is said to
be tho Governor of Texas some day, and
he would not consent TO throw away his
chances on tho single, puny free grass
policy. Resides PETER is a sound, con
slstent Democrat, whatever else may be
said about him. BY staying away from
the convention he can still hold with the
free grassers and did not compromise
himself with the lease law advocates.
