A Rright Outlook.

We had the pleasure OF call to-day from
Mr.. A. J. Bliss, of Westminster county,
New York, who has always been Repub-
lean in politics, but who now, with thou.
sands OF other Republicans in the North,
proposes to vote for Cleveland and Hen
bricks. Mr.. Bliss assures us that the senti-
ment in favor Of Cleveland in his State il
simply overwhelming, and that he will
carry New York by very large majority.
lie said the drm with which he is connect
ed-tbe Gorham Manufacturing COMPANY
employs fiity-three workmcn, nearly all Of
whom are Republicans, butstity OF them
Will vote for Hendricks and only three Of
them for Blame. This, he says, i a fair
sample Of how the wOrkingmen in his
county stand. We asked him what pro-
portion Of Republicans will vote for Cleye-
land. and be said one half or one third.
certainly. lie was satisfied that this IS so
hy his personal observation IN different
sections and bv information received from
reliable Republican sources. There l., he
say, general revolt among the Republic
cans against Blaine on account Of his bad
political record.
Mr.. Bliss said he was personally ac-
quaintcd with large number OF the bosses

and tli1i tlGN are. almost MilupNb tN'tp-
ton. in favor Of Cleveland. They inform
cd him that their workmen are about even
" divided between the Democratic aud
Republican parties, but that Cleveland VIII
get The votes OF all the Democrats and
about half the Republicans.
In response to an inquiry he sud that
the scandals that were started shout Clevc-
land not only would not lniure him. but no
thought they would make votes Tor him.
People understand that they were started
20 iniure his political prospects, ana they
will resent the Introduction OF that low
mode OF political warfare. At first some
who profess to live up to high standard
Of morality were disposed 20 refuse 10 sup
port Cleveland, but when the true inward
ness OF the charges was exposed they
quickly declared that they would have no
part in the scheme TO break him down IN
that way.
Mr.. Bliss informed Us that he has recent
~ taken a trip through New England and
New jersey, where he found a similar state
Of disaffection existing among Republicans.
lie thinks that Cleveland will be elected by
a larger majority than any President has
received since Abraham Lincoln.
Our tOwnSman, Mr.. James Fricker, has
Just returned from trip North, and he
confirms the report given by Mr.. Bliss,
whom be vouches for ~ an honorable and

Further Particulars OF the Indiana

EVANSVILLE. IND., August 30.-fhe nor
ror Of Yesterdays calamity continues 10
throw a gloom over the city. II happened
that most OF the through passengers on their
way from here 10 Henderson were ~ the
car, on the barge. while those on the steamer
Belmont were mostly Evansville and Hen
dcrson people. The fury Of the storm va,
incOnceiVable. and it. work was done
swiftly. Three times the cables lashlng the
bar re to the boat were snapped. and the
last time the barge iloated out OF reach.
Then il was that the boat with sudden
lurch. too sudden 10 permit the escape OF
her passengers, turned over in fifteen feet
Of water, about the deepest between here
and Henderson.
During the fercene,S Of the storm Cap
tain smith ordered the cabin doors locked
TO keep out the drenching rain. When the
last attack OF wind came the pilot was
heading the vessel for sand-bar 10 run her
aground. The captain ordered him 10
keep in the channel, TO back her and keep
her steady. When"the boat stopped the
wind seemed literally TO take hold OF her
and turn her over. Mr. Mitchell. OF Evans
Vile, was in the cabin. and thinking OF the
danger OF capsizing, had, with the
Evansville. forced open the front door
OF the cabin. They got out on deck just
"a the boat began 10 carcen, and by unusual
effort managed to hold on while the boat
went over, and in holding on TO her up
turned keel. Pilot James hay, Engineer
Robert Redding, aud Milton Long, OF
Evansville, and another person whose name
is not known. also succeeded in holding on
10 the wreck until taken off by the skiil.
Mitchell says the screams Of the helpless
women and children in the cabin a. the
boat went over rang above the fury OF the
storm. Hehaw Mr.. kooch, one OF the lost,
try TO get out. but the boat had turned 30
far over that be fell heplessly against the
lowest side OF thc cabin.
There vert many narrow escapes beside,
those above named. Joseph W. Reid, OF
Evansville, jumped 10 the barge, but he
was almost blown into the river. Dorsey
