There are unmistakable indications in the
Republican party, of its rapid disintegration
and decay. There are various schisms, and
disorganizing elements at work, tending to
such result. The nomination of bad and
base man Ike Mr.. Blaine hastens the de-
movement. The Independent Republican
element is asserting itself powerfully in New
York, New England and elsewhere. The
New York stalwarts, Mr.. Conkling among
them, vigorously repudiate the nomination
of Mr.. Blaine.
Ex-Seeretary Bristow and President Elliott,
of Harvard college, both declare themselves
opposed to Blaine and viii vote for Cleveland.
These are only solitary instances. There are
innumerable other instances of as great or
less prominence.

The Quickest Time on Record.

Hook and Ladder company No. ? gave an
exhibition of raising the Hayes extension
ladder against the north side of the new
Sherman block on Ninth street yesterday
forenoon in presence of Chief Hendricks, of
New Haven, Conn, and Chief McQuade, of
Albany, n. Y, and the Pompier ladder corps
showed what they could, do on the Waba-
shaw front of the structure. The Hayes ex-
tension was raised and a man placed on top
the block in the remarkable quick time of
one minute and thirteen seconds, beating the
time made before our German visitors on the
same building last week by two seconds.
This excels the fast time made in Cincin-
natl with this ladder two years ago by nine
seconds, which has stood as the quickest
time made with the Hayes ladder in this
country. The engineers from abroad said
they had never witnessed such quick and
perfect work anywhere, and besides, very
highly complimented the POmpier corps.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 1s.-Work has been
commenced on new barracks building at
the Soldiers home. The building, which
will be very neat and substantial struc-
ture, will be occupied about November 1. 1t
will cost s17, 900. If the present steady in
crease of the number of inmates in this aud
similar institutions throughout the country
continues, congress will be called upon
to make an appropriation for
more buildings. The recent action
of congress in extending the
privilege Of the national homes to persons
who served in tie late war without being
wounded and were honorably discharged
but who subsequently from any cause what
ever lost the means of earning livelihood
is causing large increase in the number Of
inmates. The Dayton asylum now contains
about 700 in mates, and the Milwaukee home
over 1900. The local branch is terribly
overcrowded.
Ernest Meincke and his attorney have not
yet decided to appeal to the supreme court
from the verdict Of the jury In the
case in which Miss Lizzie d. Phillips, niece
of ex-Mayor Joseph Phillips, sued Jerry
Meincke for breach of promise Of marriage,

BLAINE'S CORRESPONDENCE.
The Mulligan Letters Damaging the
Candidacy Of the Aggressive
Mainpite
Especial Telegram to the Globe.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-The publication
Of the additional letters, showing the rela-
tions existing between Mr. Blaine and
Messrs Caldwell and Fisher in relation to
the Northern Pacific and Little Rock 81 Fort
Smith railroads is evidently having a very
damaging effect upon BIaine's prospects.
Mr.. Blaine at first affected TO treat the matter
lightly, but it is now said at the Republican
headquarters in New York city that ''emi-
nent legal talent" has been employed to pre-
sent the matter IN q more favorable light to
the public than the letters themselves sug-
gest. 1t is doubtful whether lawyers can do
him any good at this stage, and their
employment show the stress OF the situation
is severely felt. The New York Times of to-
day has a crushing editorial on the affair, and
in Mr. Warren Fishers letter Of Oct. "A,
1871, 1t shows that for the 1924, 900 or $685.
600 loaned by Blaine TO Josiah Caldwell he
received and accepted &C. 900 from Caldwell
and $4,000 IN bonds as collateral-which,
it is charged and not denied by him, he sold
for $50, 0OO--and 525, 600 In first mortgage
bonds at par, or a total of SCI, 900. The
Times sums up by saying:
at will be clear to everybody why he suppress
sed the letter of oct q, 1871 1t exposed a
transaction on his part which we are unable to
distinguish from common swindling."
The New York Herald is, if possible, more
severe. 1t says that
''Petverting to the use of speculative schemes
an official authority bestowed in the interests of
the people, he even descended to the infinite
meanness of cheating, right and left, his CON
federate cheats, and TO playing pitifully shurp
games upon those friends in Maine who, having
confidence in him, put their moneys, through
him, into what he praised as good investment
The Herald also gives an insight into Mr..
Elldns reasons for desiring Mr.. Blaine's
election, which bear q marked enblance
to the Little Rock 81 TT. Smith business.

only fair basis upon which they could act to
secure the greatest benefit to the property
owners on the line of the improvement and
the necessities Of the city at large.
OF the assessment thus placed on these
property owners $S5, 900 has already been
paid and expended on the work now in
progress, and the. 200 directors represent
$50, 900 on the balance Of the assessment,
aud ask that judgment for default of pay
ment may not be entered by the court
against their property. The claims of these
DIRECTORS as presented are not from sponta-
neous uprising on the part of the Dayton
bluff property owners, but were first origina-
ted months ago by F. Willius, one of sthe
largest property owners on the bluff, and
have since his absence from the city been
champloned by q few others, among whom
Capt. Joseph Burger is quite foremost.
The claims on which the counsel for the
directors, whose assessment is from So to
$50 per front foot: asks that judgment shall
not be granted against their property are as
follows:
Because the improvement is general and
not local.
Because no permanent grade has been es-
tablished from the westerly to the easterly
limits of Seventh street.
Because an assessment for grading Sew
enth street and the building of permanent
roadway and iron bridge over Phalen creek
cannot legally be united in one assessment.
Because the making of the roadway and
building of bridge over Phalen creek is not
the grading of the street.
Because the making of the improvement
was never ordered by the common council.
Because of fraudulent and willful confine-
ment of the assessment by the board of pub
lie works to certain property to the exclusion
OF property benefited inside and outside the
city, and in fraud of the rights of said prop
erty holders under the city charter.
Because the board of public works have
wiifully or fraudulently or by mistake omit
ted or left out Hoffman avenue from the as
sessment made by them.
Because said board did not make assess
ment proportionate on the street west of the
fill and below an amount proportionate, and
collectable from the objector's property.
Because it failed to place the assessment
upon all the property benefited.
Because it did not make the assessment
benefits to each particular lot, but laid the
same over vast section of the city arbitra-
rily, regardless of the nature of the owners
interest.
Because no assessment was in fact ever
made or confirmed hereon by the board OF
public works, and which assessment is there
fore fraudulent, illegal and void.

New YORK, Sept. 1S.-It is reported here
that the object of the return of Minister Levi
z. Morton, vino is coming here from France
shortly, is to aid the Republican national
convention to raise money for the campaign.
In the Garfield campaign Mr. Morton proved
a most efficient financial agent for the Re-
publicans among the monyed men, and for
some time, there has been need of
man Of his peculiar ability TO
labor with the downtown capt.
talists who have not UP to the
present time subscribed much money,
1t is said that Mr.. Morton is to be made sec
rotary of the treasury, with the understand
ing that he shall be permitted to retain the
place under Blaine if the latter should be
elected. Otherwise this appointment would
hardly be h temptation to Mr. Morton. No
politician of any importance would care to
accept what would be the mere temporary
filing up of gap without any opportunity to
dictate policy or to make the slightest rep
utation for himself. Mr.. Blaine is friendly
to Mr.. Morton. Morton was originally prom
ised this post under Garfield Certain New
York influences crowded out Morton He
was so much disappointed that he refused
the secretaryship of the navy, which was Of
fered to him at that time.
There has been a good understan ding be-
tween the president and the Republican
managers in New York. He had conf
Dental interview with one of the directing
members of the national committee last
evening, and assured him that he would do
all in his power to aid the success of the Re-
publican ticket. Mr.. Morton is certainly not
Objectionable to the president.
Several influential western Democrats
have called at the Democratic headquarters
here to protest against the policy of stalking
so much upon the October election in Ohio.
These western Democrats say the Republic
cans have set trap for the Democrats in
that state, and they regret that the managers
here do not see it. One Democratic poll
tician, man of great wealth and influence,
says:
''You are making great mistake in claiming
Ohio 1t is also anothe: mistake to make great
struggle for the state. You are raising Demo-
cratic anticipation, so far as Ohio is concerned,

Republican party. 1t would be folly to talk of
carrying New York and lose Ohio" ''If we
could only have aman like Dorsey in Ohio Just
now there would be no doubt as to the result.
The matter is too important for US to take
risks. / would take no risk whatever. I'd
get leading Germans in every town and
county TO indorse Blaine and Logan and

few, perhaps, knew that Mr.. Booth had
two such honored guests beneath his roof,
and it must be confessed that their quiet re-

the majority Of the Massachusetts delegates
at the last three Republican National Con-

was Mr.. Blaine. Why did they make this
