They Fear the Election of Blaine.

Mr.. N. H. DeYoung, editor of the San Francisco
Chronicle, who has been recently on visit to
England, writes as follows: ~ was talking with
George Jones, of the New York Times, when
was in London, and he says that the Democrats
made great mistake in nominating SO obscure a
man as Cleyelapd. At FIRST he had quite boom
in the East, but he has been steadily running
down, until now his election has become one of
the very remote possibilities. In London, of
course, the politicians are all for Cleveland, not
because he is Cleveland, but because they don't
want Blaine. In the clubs-I mean those clubs
which are political in their nature, such as the
Carlton, the Reform and Golden Clubs-the talk
is very heated on the coming American election,
and they are all for Cleveland, since they fear the
election of Blaine. 1t is thought in England that
the election of Blaine would be severe blow to
England's interests on the continent of America.
His support of the Monroe doctrine and his OK
pressions about tho Clayton Bulwer treaty were
not reished in England"

He Denounces Cleveland.

Mr.. Patrick Egan, President Of the Irish Ma
tional League, has written letter TO the Illinois
State Democrat in which he says:
"Before the late Boston Convention of the Irish
National League 1 had, as the result of close
observation and careful research, made up my
mind that there existed no good grounds why the
Democratic party should hold any mortgage on
my vote because l happened to be an Irishman.
I weighed with care and elaboration the merits
of the two Presidential candidates, and I came to
the conclusion that neither as an Irishman nor as
an adopted citizen of America could Mr.. Grover
Cleveland have my support.
81 objected to him as the author of innumerable
vetoes in the interest of the great monopoies, and
as man who had, as 1 believed, proved himself
the enemy of every just right of the toiling mill
ions. 1 objected to Mr.. Cleveland because felt
proud of the country of my adoption and because
felt that in the words of the Boston Pilot-a
straight out-and- out Democratic organize has
not single quality large enough to fit him for
the Presidency of the United States"
"When, however, at Boston l accepted the
Presidency of the Irish National League l con-
slider that whatever my private opinion might be
I was then precluded from taking any active part
in American politics. Accordingly I have alb
stained from taking any part, nor shall take
any so long as hold the Office"

Tariff and Labor.

FROM JtnyO.
All merchandise is largely the product of labor
not only the labor involved in producing the ar
tcle itself, but the labor that builds the mills the
machinery, the houses for employees, that furn-
ishes the materials from which the specific article
is made, and also the labor performed and en-
ployed by all those who furnish supplies to a
manufacturing or producing community
The father advanced the manufacture of any
material becomes, the moro business has been
furnished to tho community where the goods are
made, and the more labor has been involved in
the value.
Every importation of foreign merchandise
which can be favorably produced in this country,
is so much labor enters into its cost (much the
largest proportion of its value,) supplied by for
eign laborers, and displacng so much of our own
labor.
The national policy should be toward holding
our own markets for our own productions :
that is, our own labor. Home competition will
bring down prices to the lowest possible cost; and
flour producers, that is our laborers protected
from an influx of foreign merchandise by judi
cious tariff, the supply will be regulated by de-
mand. Of the enhanced cost at first caused by
the tariff, the much larger portion is distributed
to the labor employed, and the more any particu-
lar manufacture is developed and established, the
lower the prices become.
Wages of labor are to-day from fifty to one
hundred per cent more than in 1860, before the
Morrill, tariff was enacted but everything the
laboring man or woman eats, drinks, or wears, is
lower in price than in 1860 Our national policy
has encouraged the importation ofpeope who both
produce and consume, rather than to furnish en-
ployment for labor in foreign countries.

Free-Trade and the Democracy


Since the opening of the campaign the Demo-
cratic marty has hean-n and nrar aeain ui.na
to discuss the tariff question. But the Democrats
remain deaf to these invitations Democratic
orators are ready to speak on all subjects but the
one in which the people are interested. But on
that one they are dumb as oysters, for the very
good reason that they know they have Free
Trader as their candidate who is standing on a
platform in the making of which such pronounced
Free Traders as Morrison had hand. With such
a candidate and such platform no wonder the
Democrats want to fight shy OF an issue about
which they are afreid to express the real senti-
ments of the Democratic party.
The cowardly silence that is maintained on the
tariff question ought not to deceive any one
Every vote cast for Mr. Cleveland is q vote for
Free Trade The Independent Republicans who
dictated Cleveands nomination to the Chicago
convention know this They are, however, afraid
to openly avow that the result of the election next
November will practically decide whether the
policy of Protection or Free Trade shall be tri-
umphant. The ro-English faction are therefore
doing their best to divert the attention of the
voters from the tariff question.
This conspiracy of silence ought not to De al
lowed to succeed. Every workingman in the land
is interested in having American industries pro-
tected against competition with the cheap goods
of England. And, therefore, every workingman
has right to know whether or not the party he
votes for is in favor of policy that aims at i'm
poverishing this country in order that English
manufacturers may be able to add to their profits.

VERY GOLD WAVE FOR DEMOCRACY.
A Blast from Maine that Chilled the
Bourbons to the Bone-Nearly
10000 Majority

The State election in Maine last Monday proved
brilliant victory for the Republicans, who elected
every Congressman, every State Senator and
Governor by upwards of $4,000 majority. The
Legislature is of course overwhelmingly Repub
lican, and the gains made by that party are some
thing wonderful. Referring to this victory the N.
Y. Tribune of Tuesday says:
"The aggressive campaign begins to show re-
suits. The Republicans have hoped to gain eight
or ten thousand in Maine, over the result in the
September before President Garfield was elected
The returns indicate that they have gained at
least twelve thousand, and it is believed that full
returns will raise the majority to fifteen thousand.
On total vote of l47 900 four years ago, this
would be gain of more than ten per cent. of the
entire vote of the State. like gain in New York
would give 100000 majority for Mr.. Blaine; a
much smaller gain would carry every Northern
State and some Southern States, by majorities
too large to be overcome by fraud.
"But'this magnificent victory would yet have
been incomplete had not Augusta, the town in
which Mr., Blaine lives, given the largest majority
| ever given to any candidate. In six towns in
that county the gain is 100, and the majority in
the county appears to be unprecedented. This
victory in Maine will at once be attributed by the
opposition to Mr.. Baine's personal popularity
They will say, 'He runs well in Maine, as natural
Then Mr.. Blaine has popularity where he is best
known, has he Until yesterday we were told that
| the people who knew him best, the voters of New
| England and especially of Maine, were up in
arms to rebuke and defeat him. But, in the State
where the people have known his whole public
and private life for thirty years, they give un-
precedented gains because they know him, in
| Augusta the largest majority ever given, and in
Maine II, 900 or $4,000 more than was given when
the election of President Garfield was thought to
depend upon the result. Will it not be found
that the people elsewhere like him and trust him
1.-THE verdict of Maino puts end TO tho bug
| bear of Republican Revolt The Republicans are
| there, but not the revolt. After all the boasts
and efforts Of the called Independents, tho dis
| trbutiOn of vast numbers of elegant addresses by
persons of superhuman excellence, the speeches
by eminent men, and the promise of an uprising
that should sweep Mr. Blaine and the Republican
party out of sight, it appears that the Indepen-
dent recruits help the Democratic party about
! Is, 600 votes less than nothing. 1t may be in
ferred that in other States this movement will also
be found to consist of wind and not of substance.
"United as it has not been before for many
| years, and more powerful in its cause and the
personal popularity of its candidates, the Repub-
lican party goes forward with confidence that
will not lead to the neglect of any duty"

A Horse Possessed of a Snake.

LWJ, Ftetu ana FuTM.
The green horse James H., that trotted good
race in the fast $40 class at the Bay District
Course, San Francisco, on Aug. 8, has been the
subject Of o sensational story in the California
papers to which we gave no credence, but now
comes the Breeder and Sportsman with the follow
ing corroborative testimony: "There is such a
remarkable circumstance in connection with this
horse that we are determined to await full per-
sonal examination before commenting, though
there is not the least doubt of tho accuracy of the
statements. Heretofore he has been wild horse,

jury to another He was almost ungovernabe
in any position, and in races as unreliable as a
wild zebra. vermifuge being administered,
there came away snake sixteen inches long and
as thick as the butt of riding whip. This was
only short time ago, and the race of Wednesday
was his first appearance in public since. At our
first leisure time we will obtain full history of
the horse and the viper that was gnawing at his
interior and present it to our readers. We under
stand that Colonel Dickey has the snake pre-
served in alcohol and that there is abundant
proof"

MR.. HOLTON ACCEPTS.

Hon. II. B. Holton has finally concluded to ac-
cept the Republican nomination for Congress in
the Fifth Maryland district and has written the
following letter to the committee appointed to
notify him of his nomination
PowHATAN, Nd, SEPT. Q, 1884.
Hon. SIDNEY E. MUDD-Dear r;-Allow me,
through you as chairman of the committee APP.
pointed by the Republican convention of the
Fifth Congressional district to notify me of my
nomination, to return my sincere thanks for The
kind and complimentary manner in which they
performed their duty. 1 would at the same
time express my deep sense of gratitude and
thanks to the voters of the district for this
renewed evidence of their confidence and trust
After days of elaboration, and having care
fully considered the condition of the party in
this State, have concluded that I would be
derelict in my duty to my party, my State
and myself to decline the high honor so fiat
teringy rendered. I therefore cast aside all
considerations of any personal sacrifice may
make, and accept with the full intention of doing
all in my power to keep the banner of Repub-
licanism aaoat in the Fifth district of Mary land
Yours Truly, HART B. HoLToN."

EE~The EoHld-be Democratic boss of this
county will persist in thrusting himself before
the public through the columps of his organ, the
Journal, and in doing so invariably Injuries the
carse be effects to spouse. Sensible Democrats
know this and are frank enough to admit it.
Some astute politicians of that party assert that
tho present little futter was only gotten up to
feel the pulse of the people for next falls cam
paign and the real object of those who are at the
bottom of the opposition to Talbot is simply to
further their own selfish ends by getting matters
we'll in hand in order to control the primaries
next fall, when sill the county Offices are to be
filed. Judge Grason's real friends-those who
are honestly for him-are being hoodwinked By
this scurvy coterie, who have been living oil the
taxpayers of Baltimore county so long that the
snemory of man runneth not to the contrary, and
are now pushing themselves to the front hoping
4hat they may thereby gain new lease of power,
with the accompanying "loaves and fishes"
which have caused them to wax fat and kick for
10. these many, many years.

~Last week the sanity Democracy commit
ted another forgery, this time duplicating dead
o. s. Senator and his wife. The Republican State
Committee of Ohio, through some mistake, sent
circular to the late Lot M. Morrill,, of Maine, ask
ing him to come to that State and do some can
wasting. This was an opportunity that the DEM
ocratic forgers could not miss and they at once
seized upon it, writing reply, purporting to be
from Mrs. Morrill,, in which that lady was made
to say the most outrageous things about Mr..
Blaine. ButthefOrgery was soon exposed, though
not before it was published in nearly all the Dem
oerasic newspapers of the country. Did these
same newspapers afterwards attempt to set them
selves right on this base scheme? Not much.

MS-A little over a year ago the New York
Times said of Gov. Cleveland: "In other words,
Gov. Cleveland is willing to swindle the architects
of the Capitol out of money which the State owes
them for work done for the State, in order to gain
a reputation as o reformer. This is about the
cheapest and scurviest trick of this very low
priced statesman" And now this same New
York Times supports Cleveland, low priced states
man that he is.

and we feel very confident they will-they will
