POLITICAL POINTS.

In his painful and labored defense Of Mr..
Blaine, Gov. Robinson said at Springfield
that If every Republican would carefully
consider the charges against Mr.. Blaine, his
name would not be taken from the flag; in
other words, that Mr.. Blaine could not be
compelled to withdraw. This does not speak
very well for the moral perceptions Of either
Gov. Robinson or the Republicans generally.
The charges referred to are in the letters
written and signed by Mr.. Blaine himself.
He there convicts himself of falsehood, Of
what is very like subOrnation Of perjury, Of
using his official position for private gain,
and OF calling attention TO his use of the
speakers position to benefit railroad cor
porations, in language which even he thought
might be ''indelicate." II Gov. Robinson
is satisfied that a man self convicted Of
these charges ought not to have his name
staken from the flag" well and good.
When, however, so partisan a man as the
governor turns out to be intimates that it
NAV be necessary to take the candidates. 8

The name seems familiar and calls up misty
recollectiops clad in half forgetfulness.
Come to think Of it Rutherford 3. Hayes ran
for president in 1876, was defeated By a
quarter million majority, but accepted a
stolen presidential title, cheated the men
who cheated him in, served through presi-
Dental term, saved most Of his salary, and
then retired to forgetfulness to enjoy life.
The country heartily tried 70 forget Hayes
and his history, and had succeeded pretty
well: but now and then he turns himself

that Rutherford B. Hayes still lives, how

Counter Demonstrations.


COLUMBUS, Oct. 6.-Members of county
committee from points along Blaine's second
route were at the Democratic state head
quarters to-day and arrangements are COM
pleted to give Mr. Blaine warm reception.
The Democrats wiz hold meetings at all the
stops made by the opposition party, and
strive to outdo the Republicans in demon
strations, attendance and enthusiasm. AS
Blaine goes this time in the close
districts and to many Democratic
counties, it is thought that he will be over
Swallowed. Great efforts will be made TO do
it. The leading Democratic speakers OF the
country have been summoned to address the
Democracy as the hippodrome passes by,
There will be millions of documents strew n
along the way, such as Brooks letter charg-
ing Blaine with being connected with
companies in the Hooking valley,
where the strikers are up in arms,
the Mulligan letters and other papers.
Carl Schurz will be the speaker in this city
when Blaine is here this week. Most of the
Cleveland and Hendricks clubs of the
state are arranging to concentrate at Lancas-
ter Saturday night, where Blaine stops for
the Sabbath, and on which occasion the
Republicans are trying to get up a grand
final demonstration. As the feeling is now
high there may be trouble, especially at Ian
caster, where the professions of the two par
ties will pass on the same street.

All Want to be Senator.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. |


WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 6.-There is
more friction in the New Yofk Republican
state committee than Mr. Blaine's friends
enjoy, and the trouble is that there are too
many candidates for the United States sena-
torship, which Mr.. Lapham gives up. There
are Tom Platt, ex-Gov. Cornell, Whitelaw
Reid, Chauncey NJ. Depew, Frank Hiscock,
Collector Robertson and Chairman James D.
Warren, all aching for it and working
against one another. Warner Miller, too
is taking an active part in the fight, although
efforts have thus far been directed toward
beating Platt.
Now, NJ. Platt Is doing the best sort of
work for Blaine by raising the cash neees-
sary to conduct the campaign. He is Wall
street man and is daily with Gould and
Dillon and Huntington and the men whose
schemes will be aided by Blaine's election.
He has wrong contributions out of men
whom other Republicans could not approach,
and, in fact, he has done all of the
successful work in this direction yet
accom- plshed. The Warner-Miller crowd
are consequently jealous of him. They have
no especial abilities themselves either for
running a canvas or begging the cash that
keeps it going. They fear that Platt is doing
Mr. Blaine's cause so much good that in the
i event of Mr.. Blaine's election, results favor
able to Platt may follow. IN Platts every
move and suggestion they see only one
motive-Platts return to the senate. So
they are an lighting Platt and Platt naturally
is fighting back. This and the quarreling
between the others is seriously hurting Mr..
Blaine in New York state.

The Election In Co,.nectfcut.

Hartford, Conn, Oct. o. The town
elections of Connecticut occurred to-day.
The principal political interest in the cleo
ton was town officers, and vote upon the
constitutional amendment, providing for
biennial sessions Of the legislature, the cleo
tions for state officers being already biennial.
Five years ago similar amendment was
voted down by the people. 1t will be of no
party or political significance whatever it
may be, both parties being divided upon It,
The towns also voted upon the question of
liquor license.
Returns as far as received indicate that
the constitutional amendment is carried by u
large majority. Many towns that voted
against the amendment five years ago voted
for it this year. The result of the election
for town directors, so far as heard from, does
not indicate any material political change.
The constitutional amendment providing
for blenuial elections of members of the
legislature and biennial sessions carried by
majority likely, judging from present re-
turns, to reach and perhaps exceed 1900.
The vote against it five years ago was over

amendment, and other corporate interests
have favored it, as they desire to be less fire.
quently exposed to hostile legislation. There
was no organized effort to defeat the amend
ment. The compensation of members of
the legislature will be $500 and mileage of
twenty-five cents per mile. There
was no party significance in
the vote on the amendment. In
the elections for town officers the Repub-
licans fully held their own in the
state generally, compared with last year.
In Hartford the Republicans and Democrats
united on candidates for town clerk and
register The Democrats elected majority OF
the seectmen, which with the town clerk
comprise the board of registration of cleo
ton. The vote in this city is about two
thirds registered, and that will probably be
about the ratio throughout the state. Hart
ford voted for lower license by majority OF
1850. The cities generally vote for license,
while many of the smaller towns vote against
it. These will probably number considera
bly, more than half the towns in the state

DEs MONIES, Oct. 6.--Solon Chase, of
Maine. the man who several years ago be-
came famous as owner of ''Them Steers"
is now stumping Iowa. In an interview he
denounced the obscene literature of the
present campaign as unjustifable. Blaine's
financial cancer he apologized for on the
ground that other statesmen had done
equally as bad.
"Have you not well defined suspicion,
Mr.. Chase, that you have been brought to
Iowa for the express purpose Of helping
the Republicans defeat Gen. Weaver and
Congressman Wellerl'
''No, can't agree with you on that point,
since It has not yet been made known to me
where l shall work in the campaign"
care you not aware that you are posted
all over the Sixth (Gen. Weaver's) dis
trictr'
''Yes, know have been posted for sew
eral speeches in that district, and probably
also in the Fourth
''what is your opinion of Gen. Weaver as
a congressman"
she is an able man, aud, by the way, am
told by the Republican committee that he is the
man most feared in the state by them. He
is considered the shrewest politician in the
state. He was a prominent figure in con-
gress while there and was then proud OF
him."
''Have you not stated in private conver-
sation since comiug here to Des Moines that
the Republicans had imposed on you. Did
you Lot state in that conversation that or
leaving Des Moines you did not wish tC
oppose Gen. Weaver, as you desired to see
him re-electedl''
81 viii not say as to that"
At this time Capt Twombly, Roam and
other Republicans interrupted the interview
There is no probability that Chase's visi
here viii have the desired effect. Fusion il
Iowa is too strongly cemented to be broker
by anything not of an extraordinary char
acter.

KALAMAZOO, Mich, Oct. 6.-General But
Ter arrived here from Jackson this after
noon. He was met at the depot BY band
and citizens who escorted him to the park,
where he spoke thirty minutes from a plat
form on the Indian mound. He appealed
to the voters to stand together, and de-
nounced the civil service law as taking
away the privilege Of the people and creating
PRIVILEGED class. bis other point was
that if the soldiers could have

stadt to-day received a telegram from New
York from the secretary of the club saying
that Butler was losing strength daily in New
York, and that Tammany would not give
its strength to any other than Butler from
Cleveland, and that New York state is sure
for Cleveland. Mr.. Neustadt left for Mime

change there, as they have already fallen in
with the New York club and stretched a

FARGO, Oak, Oct. 6.-The boiling conven-

to-day at HiEshoro. There were twelve per-
sons present from Grand Forks county, and
the eastern half of Trail. The nominations
for council we're: George E. Bowers, editor
of the Hillsboro Banner, ond DR.. W. 7. Col
Inns, of Grand Forks. For representatives,
A. Steenson, ,iof Trail; Theodore Holton, Of
Grand Forks; E. P. Day, of Nelson, and the
Steele county nomination was referred to the
committee. Major Hamilton, who was
regular delegate in the Hillsboro conven
ton, refused to participate in it, and says it
was SO far from a representative body he
would not recognize it. This leaves the field
clear for the nominees of the Larimore con-
Vention.

JACKSON, Miss, Oct. 6.-At meeting of

ers four. The committee refused. The

undoubted integrity. In the present cam
paign, according to my judgment, the Re-
publican party seeks to retain power by a
complete abandonment OF principle, by an
attempt to match the masses with equivocal
generalities that are not intended to receive
practical execution, and by pressing for elec-
ton to the presidency person whose integ-
rity, to say the least, is not undoubted. Sue
cess under such circumstances would neces-
sarily impair the usefulness of the Republican
party, if not entirely obliterate it. and would
not, as you profess to believe, be of benefit to
the community at large. You will pardon
me, therefore, If 1 prefer to withhold my sup
port from the Republican state committee

shall again represent, as it has frequently
done in the past, the right side of the ques.
tions that most concern the welfare of the
people of the United States. Yours, very re-

A Republican Eteotor Opposes Blaine.
IN. Y. Times. Rep.1


The insult and dishonor of James G.
Blaine's nomination is resented not only by
the voters of the Republican party, but by
the very electors who have been appointed
to give expression and effect to their will as
as indicated at the polls. In another column
we print letter from Republican elector
in one of the congressional districts of this
state in which he makes it very clear that his
feeling toward the candidate for whom he is
expected to vote as presidential elector is one
OF utter contempt He asks if we can show
him how he can vote the Republican ticket
and still retain his self respect, and to that
question there can be but one answer. To
those whom partisanship blinds or native
dullness robs of the power to distinguish any
OF the grades of wrong doing below arson
and highway robbery, it may seem that the
act of voting for Blaine involves no question
of self-respect. The elector whose letter We
print is evidently of another opinion, and
while there is but very remote probability
that he will ever be called upon to exercise
the function Of his Office, We see no course
open to him but to resign from the ticket
and plainly give his reasons.
