MOVEMENTS OF MIR. BLAINE
schemes For the Colonizing of Me-
gro Voters i'm Ohio.

COLUMBUS, Oct 4-Mr. Blaine and his
camp followers left here to-day for Wheel
ing, stopping at few Ohio towns en- route.
He will remain at Wheeling Sunday, will
visit Parkersburg Monday, returning to Ohio
again, at Marietta on Tuesday. The arrange
ment now is that he will continue to exhibit
himself at various points In the State until the
night OF the 18th, when he will go to Detroit
and await there the result OF the election.
The proved connection of Blaine with the
coal syndicate which Is now starving thous.
ands OF poor miners throughout the Hook
ing Valley, has cost the Republicans thous-
ands of votes throughout the valley. Blaine
and his friends continue to assert that he
had no interest In the Standard Coal and
Iron Company, which recently went into the
hands Of receiver, and knew nothing about
its workings.
(0hio) Republican of June 10, 1882. is reprint
ed to refresh his memory: James G..
Blaine and suite were at the Railroad Hotel
last Thursday night and left the valley on
Friday evening. Mr.. Blaine and other gen
tlemen Of his party are interested In the
great Standard Coal and Iron Company,
which Is buying all the furnaces in this re
gion, and also controlling much OF our min-
eral lands. Their purpose at the present
Hooking Valley Railroad, with view OF
getting Its capitalists to go into the syndi-
cate. This Is the corporation OF which we
spoke some time since and Is the one distin-
guished as the $4,000 900 syndicate. II is
said that 1t has actually $25,00o 900 to in-
vest"
In connection with the Hooking Valley
the following ADVERTISEMENT printed in the
daily papers of Richmond, Va, some days
since, have special significance:
Wanted, 100 colOred coal miners to start
10 Ohio Tuesday evening. Sept. 20. Wages
earned, from e 50 10 81 per day J. p. Justis,
employment agent, No. North Fifteenth
WANTED, 200 colored coal miners and la
borers, with or without families, to be ready
to start for Ohio Tuesday. Sept. %; high
wages. J. p. Justis, No North Fifteenth
street"
These men were to be received by alleged
agents OF the company and taken to The
Hooking Valley, Mahoning County mines.
where thousands OF miners are out OF EN-
ployment because OF the reduction in wages
The price promised In these advertisements
Is more than the miners now out can posi-
bly, get. OF course IL is part OF the scheme
10 carry this State at any cost.
T. s, Curlett, of Lancaster, Va, who is EN-
ployed In the Postoffice Department, and
who In his leisure moments carries out the
nefarions schemes mapped out by Senator
Malone, Is supposed TO be the guiding spirit
Of the brilliant colonization schemes. He
left Columbus early this morning for the
mining district to further the details OF the
plan
Among the foreign importations made by the
Republican Corruption Committee are John
B. Askew, of the Baltimore Post Office, and T.
s. Curlett, OF New York. 1t Is difficult to
say how far Askew would go to carry out the
orders of his superiors. He is also interested
Virginia and elsewhere safely through. His
every movement is known to the Democrats
and the chances are that he viii he fired
bodily out of the State before the election.
