Pittsburgh Telegraph: A few bal
lots should determine the chances OF
the gentlemen now prominently
named as candidates, and if the con
vention is hopelessly divided upon
them, then the delegates should be
free to combine upon some man sat
lsiactory to all and acceptable to the
country. The Blaine men in Penn
sylvania opposed the idea OF tying
to instructions four years ago, they
cannot object if their own ritual is
followed this year.

New York Tribune (Rep.): 1t has
been wisely said that the Republi-
can National Convention ought to be
a deliberative body. As rule, Ma
tional Conventions are something
else. But it would not be well this
year to have the Republican nOmi-
nation made either at hap hazard, OF
By the grinding of any machine, or
in any mere gush of personal enthu-
siasm. 1t is pre-eminently an occa-
sion which calls for deliberation-
for candid recognition and careful
weighing OF facts and reasons.

A correspondent of the Baltimore Ameri-
can presents some interesting estimates of
the number of voters, based upon the actual
number, as shown by the census, but in
creased by the rate of growth which the CEN
sus Office estimates has taken place since
that time. The number of male inhabitants
twenty-one years of age and more, in the
United States, emitting the Territories, is in
round numbers 100000. OF this number,
100000 are native born white, 1,5o0, 900
colored, and 100000 foreign born. New
York has 100000 foregn-born males over
twenty one years of age, and next come
Illinois and Pennsylvania with 100000 each.
Ohio stands fourth in the list, having 2O0,-
600 foreign-born male citizens over twenty
one years of age, and Wisconsin fraction
below 100000, while Massachusetts and
Michigan have nearly 100000 each, and
California, Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri
about 100, 900 each. Connecticut has &c.
900 foreign-born voters, in voting popula-
ton of 100000 and probably fifty per cent
of the foreign-born voters in Connecticut
are of Irish origin. Illinois has over $780,
600 voters, including the 100000 foreig n-born
and $4,000 colored. The Germans and the
Irish are about equal in numbers in this
State. Ia Massachusetts the majority of
the 10000 foreign-born are Irish. New
Jersey includes 100000 foreigners, probably
fifty per cent. of them from Ireland, in
its total of 100000 voters. The ma
jority of New York's foreign-born
voters are also Irish, and the State
contains over 10000 colored voters. The
large majority of the 100000 foreign-born
voters in Ohio are of German origin, the to-
tai number of voters in that State being
about 100000. Pennsylvania has 1000, 900
votes, inclu1ing the 100000 foreign born and
$4,000 colored. Of the 100000 foreign born
voters of Wisconsin, large proportion are
Germans, and considerable number Scan
dinaVians. The total vote of the State is
about 100000. The solid South contains
but very small proportion of foreign-born
voters, although it is TO the foreign born
vote in the North that the solid South looks
to be helped into power at Washington.

COMMITTEE,
New York, Sept. /, 1884
General Order No. II premature Proof
To the end that the campaign against
Blaine and Logan may be as effective as pos.
sible the following disposition is made Of
the forces under my command:
The Louisville Courier Journal will devote
its energies to the preparation of articles
and the accumulation of interviews and cor
respondence demonsira that Cleveland
is freetrader and approved the Morrison
bill.
The Albany Argus will continue until fur
Their notice, to print at the head of its edi.
torial columns the fraudulent Democratic
tariff plank, which it now has standing there
and to argue, as it is now inferentially argu-
ing, that Cleveland is protectionist.
Harper's Weekly will go on demonstrating
its devotion to civilization by printing
cartoons designed to commend Cleveland to
the sample-rooms.
The Evening Post will focus it's clarified
conscience on sermons designed to show
that respect for the seventh commandment
not being "one of the virtues that bind So
ciety together" Cleveland ought to be the
first choice of those who believe that the
issues involved in this canvass are moral
rather than political"
The New York Times, having first care
fully burned its files of last year, in which
Cleveland is frequently pillored as an incom-
petent and untrustworthy public servant,
and having carefully ignored all the current
religious newspapers, will keep repeating
and simplifying its assertion that cleveland
is in fact man who needs no defence, and
no one feels called upon to defend him.
The New York Herald will nurse its
scheme to precipitate Cleveland conflict of
races, taking for its rallying cry the refrain
"Give us color line at the north as well as
the south"
The Springfield Republican will recon.
struct the intellectual pantheon of the ages,
so that M. F. Upper, M. A., may have the
chief niche, and having performed this feat
1t will again and yet again assure its readers
that Cleveland's letter of acceptance was ga
model letter.
Carl Schurz, G. o. D., having fallen a
victim to severe hoar-frost, is relieved from
active duty until further notice.
The commander-in-chief recommends that
the late Morey forgery disclosures be treated
with silent contempt He has the best OF
reasons for knowing that the disclosures are
loaded.
Democratic stump speakers who NAV be
interrupted in their remarks with the lead
ing question chow do the candidates stand
on the tariff?' have two courses open to
them. First, they can insist upon having
the interrupter put out. Second, they can
recall the story of the school-teacher who told
the trustees that he would teach that the
earth was round or fat according to their
wishes.

The New Blaine Letters.

The Massachusetts Independents have
been giving mysterious hints for some weeks
that they were going soon to make an ex-
posure of Mr.. Blaine that would confound
both him and his supporters. The exposure
was made yesterday and is given elsewhere
1t consists of lot of letters written by Mr..
Blaine to Mr.. Warren Fisher in regard to
the business transactions between them grow
ing out of the Little Rock and Fort Smith
railroad. 1t will be remembered that when
Mr.. James Mulligan was summoned in 1915
to Washington to testify before the Con-
gressonal committee which was investiga-
ting Mr.. Blaine's railroad transactions he Sc
lected out of the correspondence between
Mr.. Fisher and Mr.. Blaine what he no doubt
considered the most damaging to Mr.. Blaine
of the letters that passed between them.
Those letters Mr.. Blaine read on the floor of
the House, and the public mas long since
passed judgment upon them. The letters
elsewhere published constitute the whole or
a part of the remainder of that correspou-
dence.
Many of them are of an inconsequential
nature and contain nothing which can be
construed by his bitterest enemy so as to re-
fleet discredit on Mr.. Blaine. These were
printed probably, simply to make the array
as imposing to the eye as possible. The con-
Guiding letter in which Mr.. Blaine asks Mr..
Fisher for statement in relation to the Lit
tie Rock business to answer his slanderers
is the one which doubtless is calculated to
make the greatest impression. But il will
be seen that Mr.. Blaine asks for statement
that sis strictly true and honorable to you
The Portland daily press., 1884-09-16

The Hon. Neal Dow is mistaken in saying
that the PRESS is antagonizing the friends
of temperance. The PRESS is doing no such
thing. The PRESS believes with Mr.. Sho-
rey, who is recognized we think as sincere
temperance worker, that there is al present
law enough to close up every grog shop if it
were thoroughly enforced, and it would like
to see it enforced. Whose fault it is that
the law is not enforced we do not pretend
to say, but it is a notorious fact that bar
rooms are open to-day in Portland in viola
ton of law. If the present law is not suf-
ficient to shut them up, strengthen it, but
first demonstrate that it is not sufficient.
When the officers enforce the law against
liquor selling as vigorously as the law
against larceny and it fails to extiuguish the
rum shop then will be time enough to con-
slider whether more law is needed. 1t makes
no difference how severe the law is, if it is
not enforced it will accomplish nothing,

Here is specimen of the stuff the Demo-

mansions of tidal wave" The Herald ap-
parently believes that all its readers are

and me-" His purpose was to stop the
mouths of his sanderers. He knew what
his slanderers were urging against him bet
ter than Mr.. Fisher and therefore to better
cover their points he wrote out the form of
statement needed. No inference therefore
unfavorable to Mr.. Blaine can be drawn
from the fact that he prepared the draft of
the letter himself. Probably ninety-nine
men out of hundred under the same cir
cumstances would have taken the same pre-
caution.
The effect of these new letters will, we
anticipate, be very slight. Those who be-
lieved that the letters published in 1875 con-
victed Mr.. Blaine of dishonest transactions
will see in these new ones cumulative
proof, but the majority of the public, who
with William Walter Phelps and Senator
Hoar, saw nothing in those letters inconsist-
ent with Mr.. Blaine's declaration of inno-
cence will see nothing in these to change
their views. The fact is the foes of Mr..
Blaine did their worst in this Little Rock
business in 1876. If they had deemed these
letters now made public of much Importance
they would not have kept them secret until
now. All these letters were marked conf
Dental, but that did not prevent the high
toned gentlemen who are running the indie
pendent campaign in Massachusetts from
conniving at their publication.

The Louisville Courier-Journal and the
New York World are still quarreling over
the tariff question. The former says that
there can be no doubt ia the mind of any
obseTVant man that the election of Cleveland
means the revision of the tariff. The latter
retorts that the editor of the Journal is a
crank

The very next morning after Tsmmany
endorsed Cleveland Tammany's organ, the
New York Star, described him as lump of
putty and said he seemed to have no idea of

which prevails against him in the Demo-
cratic party"
The Portland daily press., 1884-09-16

The insinua;ion of the New York Herald,
which was copied by the Argus, that Father
Murphy of Augusta voted for Blaine because
he had brother in the Portland custom
house, is disposed of pretty effectually by
the fact that Father Murphy has no brother
in the Portland custom house or in the civil
or military service of the United States.
The Kennebec Journal says "his friendship
for Mr.. Blaine is well known" in Augusta,
and she does not hesitate to avow it and to
endorse Mr.. Blaine on every proper occa-
siop.''
