Blame and the Catholics.

A friend has called our attention to the
following significant language of Blaine
and the comments Of the New York Sun
in January, 1879. The Sun says: "Mr.
Blaine took occasion, in his anti-amnesty
speech, to indulge in coarse fling at the
Catholic Church which will not materially
improve his position as candidate. He
said, referring to the testimony OF the
Rev. W. j. Hamilton about the sufferings
at Andersonville:
SHE is Southern man and Demo-
crat and a Catholic priest. And when
you unite these three qualities IN one man
you would not find much testimony that
would be strained in favor Of the Repub-
lican party Laughter.]
"Considering that Mr.. Blaine himself
was raised by an exemplary Catholic
mother, some of whose teachings he seems
to have forgotten, these attempts to ex-
cite sectarian prejudice come with little
grace from such source. Like many 9TH
or politicians. religion of any kind does
not much trouble histhoughts, except
when it may be turned to profitable &C
count. But his lips at least ought to be
the last to ridicule and falsify the faith in
which his mother Worshipped, believed
and died.
1t is manifest from the above that
Blaine was not overwhelmed with love or
respect for our priesthood in the early
part of the centennial year. He even
doubted their truthfplness when under
oath. Has he changed his views since
them Connecticut Catholic.

POLITICAL NOTES AND
COMMENTS.

Reports received from Mr.. Barbour Is
headquarters show that large numbers of
heretofore prominent supporters of Ma
hone are working hard for Democratic
success. While this state OF affairs exists
to larger extent in Southwest Virginia
than any other locality, the movement is
not confined alone to that section, but en-
braces nearly every county in the State.
The revolt against Malone has reached
such proportions that he is now left with
out sufficient following to guarantee his
success in any district in the State.
A letter received at National Demo.
cratic headquarters says that the fusion
of all opponents to Blaine in Michigan is
complete, and that the electoral vote of
that State will be cast against him.
Ex-Congressman Pound, an old an in
fuential Republican of Wisconsin, has an.
nounced that he will support the Demo-
cratic ticket for the Presidency. Mr..
Pound was at one time the Republican
Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin, and is
one of the most discerning politicians in
the Northwest.
The tide of public opinion seems so
firmly set against the Republicans that
the Department clerks and subordinate
Offices of the Government decline to re-
spond to the appeals Of Committees for
funds.
The Republicans of this State have
made the following congressional nominal
tions:
First District. Robt. Mayo, MA

rison's seat for short period in the last

FATHER BAPBsT's EXPERIENCE IN
MAINE.-In the course of his speech at
the Irish demonstration in New York sew
eral evenings ago Hon. P. A. Collins, of
Boston, stated that many years ago
Father John Baptist was tarred and feath-
cred in Maine, and the Kennebec Jour
nal," Mr.. Blaine's paper, instead of de-
nounelng the outrage said there was great
provocation for it. The Father Baptist
referred to by Mr.. Collins is living at pre-
sent at the novitiate in Frederick city,
Md. He is on the superannuated list,
being over so years of age. He is tall,
misunderstanding man, and very genial
in his manner. About 80 years ago he was
pastor of church at Bangor, Me-, and
had charge of a chapel also at Ellsworth,
Me- For advising Catholics to send their
children to parochial in preference to the
public schools he was warned not to go to
Ellsworth. His duty requiring his pre-
Rence there, however, he did go, and at
night was taken from his bed by mob.
and after being coated with tar was rolled
in feathers and set astride of a rail and
carried around the town. Towards morn
ing he was released in field outside of
the town. The weather at the time was
very cold. Such was the effect upon him
that even yet when he hears knock at
the door of his room he Immediately clasps
his hands and asks piteOusly Are they
coming for me again ?"

How One Blaine Boom Collapsed.

Here is scrap of history reproduced by
the Pittsburg Post concerning the Cincin-
natl Convention of 1875. 1t did not
amount to much then, but makes very in
teresting reading now After the sixth
ballot had been cast, the Pennsylvania
delegation, which had been voting for
Hartranft, retired for consultation, and it
was apparent that a crisis had arrived.
Morton McMitchael and General Bing-
ham applied themselves with fiery zeal to
urging the delegation to decide the con-
test at once by casting the vote of Penn
sylvania for James G.. Blaine. This argu-
ment was about to prevail when w. M.
Kemble, delegate from the Fourth ward
Philadelphia, produced two receipted
checks. One check for $4,000 Mr.. Kemble
explained that he had drawn to pay MI.
Blaine, while Speaker of the House of
Representatives, for favorable ruling in
respect to some pending legislation In
which Kemble was interest, this being the
amount previously agreed upon by the
parties. The other check, which was for
$500, was paid to Mr.. Blaine, because,
as he argued, the services he had rendered
Kemble were richly worth $500. Both
checks were drawn payable to Mr.. Blaine,
and came back in due course to the pos
session of Mr.. Kemble, who claimed to be
able to prove thaS he never before or since
had any transactions of any nature with
that magnetic statesman. Kemble stated
very coolly that he had no scruple about
buying useful man, but he felt that the
subsequent demand of Mr.. Blaine for 80
per cent. more hire than had been stipula-
lated was extortionate and In the nature
of grievance. He finally threatened. if
the delegation secured Blaine's nomina-
zion, to publish the whole transaction
The result was the collapse of the Blaine
boom of 1875.

Death of Col. Jas, A. Garrison.

Col. James A. Clarkson, for many years
a resident of Baltimore, and mason in
high standing, died very suddenly at
Charleston, W. Va, last week, where he
had gone on business visit. Previous to
the late war Col. Clarkson resided at
Charlotte G. H. Va. where he owned a
fine estate and dispensed hospitality in the
style of the true Virginia gentleman of
former days. When his State seceeded he
enlisted in the Confederate Army, and was
appointed colonel Of Virginia regiment.
He subsequently participated in many of
the battles fought by the Army of North
ern Virginia. During the unhappy con-
fiict Col. Clarkson lost large part of his
fortune. He was for some years since the
war member of the firm of Penniman
Bros, hardware merchants, North How.

The Ohio Mining Troubles.
GOV. HOADLY INVESTIGATING THE MAT
TER-THE CAUSE OF THE OUTBREAK.


TER-THE CAUSE OF THE OUTBREAK.
LOGAN, o., Sept. 1.-Gov. Hoadly ar
rived here this morning and had con.
sultation with Sheriff Mccarthy. The
Governor said he had nine companies of
militia in readiness, but he would not
order out the troops until he had investi-
gated matters personally. as he had been
told that the trouble with the miners was
in a great degree political affair. After
a consultation with Judge Friesner and
others the Governor determined to make
circuit Of the mines. and left Logan for
this purpose accompanied by the sheriff
and others.
NEW STRAITsvILLE, o., Sept. L.
Gov. Hoadly and party arrived here
from Logan to-day. He was met by a
large number of miners at all the stations.
and OF this place by about 500, and at
once began holding private consultations
with representative miners. The miners
here claim that there is no necessity for
troops. They charge that the hopper at
mine No. was burned by the guards. who
were dissatisfied with their wages. Some
of the miners say that the Governors trip
is only political scheme.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Sept 1st.-The sit
uation in the Hooking Valley is most dan
gerous. Nearly 10000 men have been
idle for months owing to a disagreement
with employers as to the rate OF wages.
The dissatisfaction has been intensified by
the employment of Italians and other for
eigners in the places of the strikers at
lower wages and by the use of machinery.
The mine owners have been compelled to
hire guards to protect the "blacklegs," as
the foreign laporers are called, and the
latter have been virtually imprisoned in
the mines. The strikers have threatened
for some time to drive the "blacklegs''
away, and these threats eliminated about
1:30 Sunday morning in az attack on the
guards by IS or 100 strikers.
Until recently tssnake Hollow" has been
guarded by thirty-fve Pinkerton Guards.
but few days ago they were transferred
TO other points and their places filled by
guards from Logan and that neighbor-
hood. twenty-five in number, armed with
breech-loading shot-gqns and brace Of
revolvers apiece. At the time of the at
tack but seven guards were on duty. They
gave the alarm and opened fire. The rest
of the guards rallied, and for ten minutes
a continuous fire was kept up. More than
10000 shots we're exchanged, and the
strikers were at last driven back.
VIM. O'Hara, of Logan, veteran of
the late war, was doing guard duty at the
time. The strikers no doubt knew his po-
stion, as he was taken by surprise. He
was heard to say, "For Gods sake, gen
tlemen, have mercyl" and was instantly
shot dead
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 1st.-The min
era in the Ohio General region along Sun
day creek went out to-day on the pretext
of not getting the September advance. It
is expected that they will join the Hook
ing Valley strike, being adjacent to that
region.

REP UBLICAN EMISSIONS.


In an article headed democratic Fal-
lacies," the Valley Varqinian of last week
criticised at considerable length an edi-
torial entitled 1.-THE Laboring Man"
which appeared in this paper week before
last. Our esteemed contemporary tried to
explain away the charge preferred by the
VINDICAToR that Republican Congresses
had donated three hundred million Of
acres of the public lands to railroad cor
porations, thus depriving the laboring
man of the East from securing cheap
homes in the West.
But as usual our neighbor strayed off
into the boundless field of theory and lost
its reckoning in wilderness of words.
But, strange to say, the astute editor of
the VSrginaan was silent on the question
of contract labor, which was also men
toned in our editorial.
And now please tell US, Major, why the
Republican party, which in this campaign
is preaching the doctrine of protection to
laboring men and women, declaring that
the Democratic party is in favor Of free
trade and hostile to every interest of the
poor-tell lis why your party ref used to
unite with ours in putting an end to this
odious practice of importing the low and
bestial of every race to compete with the
honest labor of our native and naturalized
citizens. Tell US what party opposed so
bitterly the enactment Of laws to prevent
the influx of heather Cinnamon to cur
shores. If we have erred in chargin g
these things upon the Republican party
our columns shall make the correction.
The Irishman finds his place on the rail-
roads and internal improvements Of the
country filed by the imported Italian; the
worker 10 our mines of coal and iron is
forced out of job by the Dane and Hun
garian.
And yet, when the Democratic party
tried to put an end forever to this grevious
wrong against American labor, strange TO
relate the Republican party, which loves
the laboring man SO NELL, refused to lend it's
aid.
We shall wait with patience to hear
from the Valley Virqiniam what motive
actuated the Republican party when it's
assent was given to the contract labor
sy stem.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS.

Only eight weeks remain of the Presi-
Dental campaign, and then the American
people will calmly declare through the
medium of the ballot-box which of the
two great parties shall rule the destinies
of the country for four years to come. 1t
is matter of congratulation to every
true patriot that the signs of Democratic
success are 80 bright and promising.
When the standard was placed in the
hands of Mr.. Blaine, the Republican
party at once asserted that the campaign
would be conducted with brilliancy and
dash hitherto unknown in contests for
the Presidency, But the "dash' seems
to have dropped out of the Blaine cam
paign, and in more than one doubtful
State the Republicans find themselves on
the defensive. Maine elects State officers
next Tuesday, and the Blaine managers
are straining every nerve to keep up their
usual majority in that State. The Demo-
Gratis have no hopes of carrying Maine,
but they are making such a plucky fight
that the corruption fund intended for
other States has been transferred to Mr..
Blaine's own State. Ohio and West Vir-
ginia vote on the 14th of October,
and the result in those two States
will be awaited with the keenest interest
by both parties. West Virginia is reliably
Democratic, and so far as her vote is con-
cerned it is only question of majority.
To Ohio, then, all eyes are turned, and the
news that comes to US from the Buckeye
State is almost, too good to be true. Ohio
is generally Republican State, but has
gone Democratic two years in succession,
and now the gallant Democracy Of this
daughter of the Old Dominion promise
that her voice shall speak for Cleveland,
Hendricks, and Reform, We would not
advise any Democrat to lay too much hope
on our carrying Ohio; but the indications
point to an exceedingly close vote with
chances seem ingly in favor of the Demo
Gratis.
Michigan and Wisconsin are good fight
ing ground for the Democracy. and with
proper effort, may be carried for Cleve-
land. In New York the party is once
more reunited, Tammany Hall having
sgnifed it's intention to ratify the nomi--
patton CT Cleveland in few days. This
sounds the knell Of Republican hopes iu
New York, and that great State is certain
to cast thirty-six votes for its great reform
Governor, Grover Cleveland.
Everywhere the Democracy is ready to
meet the foe, and conscious that the right
is on it's side, it strikes with an absolute
assurance of victory. Virginia will vote
for Cleveland, but the contest will be no
dress parade. Malone is smarting under
bis defeat of last fall, and will leave no
stone unturned to regain his lost prestige.
We cannot urge too often the necessity of
thorough organization. Great battles are
won by close attention to small details;
and when the roll Of the States that have
placed Cleveland in the White House is
called, Virginia's voice must not be
silent.
