REPUBLICAN, POLITICS.

signed from the Republican state execu-
tive committee so as not to engage In
raising money for political purposes,
the civil law ~forbidding federal officials
to engage in that work.
/ think there is a greater motive on
the part Of the Republican party to
carry out the principles of cIvil-service
reform than on the part of the Demo
cratic party, because the Republicans
are already in. While / believe
Cleveland to be politically honest, his
election would be putting the Gov
ernment not in the hands OF a man, but
In the hands Of a party which, as Curtis
says, is hungry and thirsty" Think
it would be unfortunate for the condi-
tion Of the country to have such q whole
sale change.-Professor William G.
Morey, Rochester University.
Hooker of Vermont, secretary of the
national committee, said to a cores
pondent: Everything is all one way
in Vermont, and we shall have a very
easy time in that state. Blaine always
was the fayorite there, and every sol
dier is for Logan. There always is
some di~saffection in presidential years,
however, and the present campaign is
no exception to the rule, but there is
less detection In Vermont than in 1880,
and since 1876, for that matter"
Secretary Mcpherson says that re-
ports from New York indicate that the
publication of the "Cleyeland scandal"
has given the Independents a chill, from
which they can never entirely recoyer.
Carl Schurz's efforts are futile. Even
the furnace of the investigation com
mittee cannot restore their normal
warmth" he says. ITO vote with the
democrats would be SO inconsistent with
their high moral character that many of
them are seeking the best means of get
ting out of the difficulty quietly.
Schurz and Curtis, he thinks, will be
soon without a following, and Blaine
will carry New York by rs, 900 majority.
Republicans who voted for Cleveland
for governor, he says, tell him the same
story.
United States Senator Miller, of Cali.
fornia, in an interview with a CORES
pondent said there was rot a shadow OF
doubt that California, Oregon and Ne
vada would cast their electoral votes for
Blaine and Logan. Mr.. Blaine's attitude
on the Chinese question, his solicitude
for the dignity Of American labor and
his intense Americanism made him ex-
ceedingly popular in the Pacific States.

York and vicinity, who have come out

A correspondent from Saratoga writes
the New York Sun urging that Cleve-
land withdraw aud Tilden be substi-
tuted. The SUN prints the communi-
cation double loaded, and at the head
of a column on the editorial page. The
letter says: "A vast majority of his
countrymen wanted Tilden. The con-
vention knew it, sEd should have APP
pealed to Mr.. Til6sn's patriotism. It
would not have been in vain But Ii is
too late now to mend the matter. No
it isn't. 1t never is. Let the Demo
cratic national committee tell Mr.. Cleye-
land that his nomination was o mistake
at any rate, or premature, and he can
not hesitate to retire, for he must see
that would secure success to the ticket
at once, and great credit to himself.
But would Mr.. TiIden in that event be
persuaded to consent to the use OF his
name? Mr.. Tilden is a patriot as we'll
statesman. He would do anything to
serve his country.
Mr.. Murat Halstead, Of the Cincin-
matt Commercial Gazette. telegraphs
from New York as follows: lido not
overstate the matter when Isay that the
best informed here are Of the opinion
that Blaine will come out even with
Cleveland in the city Of New York, and
that he will have an unparalleled ma
jority in the country. Reports from
the strong Republican counties are that
they will all give increased majorities.
