The Outlook.
Tho outlook of the Democracy and tho
FREQ Republicans ON the Presidential
campaign is more favorable now than
the prospect ol any other party i'm Au-
gust ever was. which was successful at
the polls, i'm November. If the election
were to ho held to-day, Blaine and Io-
gan would barely carry uino States olrt
OF the thirlNcight Their chance for
any larger number than that is at pros
cnt extremely unlavorablc
Events which have occurred. and
events which assuredly will occur. Justify
the assertion that the Democratic vote.
with substantial soidty. will bc cast
for Cleveland and Hendricks. The eff
fort TO divert to Blaine Il portion of the
Labor vote was no sooner made than il
failed. IL resulted i'm showing that
Blaine was n millionaire, by the gracc
ot corrupt contracts, of paid-for votes,
of marketed rulings, of subsidies from
corporations and of speculation i'm all
the powers of the trusts which he has
betrayed. \ monopolist and rascal
does not commend himself To the mon
who honestly toll The other effort. To
get iorcign-burn citizens To support
Blaine, also failed Neither tho Irish
nor the Germans want a Know uthng
and ProhbItionist, and Blaine denial
that he was either has but illustrated the
versatility of his mcndaClty Every
cndcayor TO divide or reduce the Demo
cratic vote has failed. Leaders or
would be leaders who are hostile or luke
warm 10 Cleveland and Hendricks Will
be run over by the rank and file.
The linc of assault ON Governor Clcye-
land has also collapsed. For weeks 10

they were reduced to particulars, the
particulars were found to be lies The
lies have rocoiled on their authors GOV

them from returning TO the United
States TO vote the Democratic ticket.

On the contrary, che exposure Of the
public record of Blaine has been truth
fully fatal TO him at every point He
was, as Maine politician, lir,ta Know
Nothing and afIorward rascaly AS
