MILWAUKEE, Sept. 2s.-Alexander MITCHELL
who has been in New York for some time. is ex-
pected home early in the coming week. The
rumors concerning his possible resignation of
the presidency of the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST.
Paul Railroad company, have attracted much at
tention here during the past few days. Among
the people OF Miwaukee-and, indeed of the
whole state-it would be difficult to
separate the thoughts of 'the st. Paul.
from thoughts of Alex. Mitchell at its
head. In this connection just now the utmos
solictude is felt concerning the condition of the
health of s. S. Merrill, general manager of the
company. The general belief now is that not for
long time, if ever, will he be able TO resume
the duties of his position. Few men in this city
or state are the OBJECTS of more unbounded res
pect and admiration than Mr. Merrill. Judged by
years he cannot be classed as by any
means aged; but for years 1.-THE boYs''

CLoSrARF, Sept. Notwithstanding cloudy
and rainy weather, a large audience assembled
this evening at this place to listen to Hon. Ig-
uatus Donnelly, candidate for congress.
Mr.. Donnelly opened his remarks by quoting
paragraph which appeared in the Pioneer Press
OF st. Paul, giving an account of meeting held
az Vasa, at which General lie Due assaulted him.
Mr.. Donnelly said:
General lie Due has as much claim to the
title of general as General washburn has. One
commanded the fierce onslaught OF the thieves on
the government pine, and the other the onslaught
of our troops on salt pork and harl tack. The
worst charges he ever made were in his ac-
counts against the government. Laughter. /

AMBITIOUS GREEN.
A Colored Gentleman Appointed to a
Position in the Signal Service.
Special Telegram to the Globe.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.--W. Hallett Green,
the colored man whose ambition is to study dry
and wet bulb thermometers and the record of
high and low barometers. and measure the force
of the wind, is to be given position in the sig
nal service. He is very intelligent man and a
college graduate, but when he tried to enlist in
the signal service he was refused on account of
his color. Gen. Hazen says now that he did
not reject him but held the case under
adyisement to get Secretary Lincolns views. AS
a matter of fact Gen. Hazen rejected Green be-
cause the law provided for two colored regiments
of infantry and two colored regiments of cavalry,
and Gen Hazen held that by implication colored
persons excluded from all other departments
of the army. Secretary Lincoln decided
promptly that Green had right to enlist in the
signal corps, and he has enlisted. Something
has been said about the liability
of his being badly treated at Fl. Myers,
whittier he has gone, for instructions, but Gen.
Hazen anticipates nothing of the kind. One of
the first appointments Secretary Lincoln made
in the war department was that of colored man,
aud one two colored men are likely to be ap-
pointed to the newly created position of post
quartermaster sergeant, and Secretary Lincoln
says they certainly shall be if they prove them
selves on examination and by their records in the
army to be worthy of the promotion.

HEADQUARTERS GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC.
TOLEDO. Ohio Sentemher IL 1891

HEADQUARTERS GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC,
TOLEDO, Ohio, September 10, 1884.
GENERAL ORDERS No. 4.-The country at this
time is being agitated by great political contest
and while it must be conceded by all that no class
of citizens have higher right to freely express
their political opinions and take part in the cam
paign as their convictions shall dictate than those
who through unselfsh patriotism went forth to
save the Nation, yet the commander-in- chief
deems it his duty to remind comrades that the
Grand Army of the Republic is strictly nOn-par-
asan. Our law upon this subject is plain and
emphatic, as follows:
''No officer or comrade of the Grand Army of
the Republic shall in any manner use the organi-
cation for pdftisdR purposes, and no discussion
OF partisan questions shall be permitted at any of
It's meetings, nor shall any nomination for poll
teal office be made. See chap. 5, Ayf. XII r..
and r.
1t is therefore earnestly hoped that no Post
will violate this fundamental law of our associs.
ton by participating in any political demonstra-
ton whatever
The wearing of q Grand Army badge or uni
form at political meeting is in the highest de-
gree improper, and comrades should refrain from
so offending against the spirit OF our rules and
regulations. By command of

COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 2S.-In conversation
with an intelligent member of the state execu-
tive committee, he summarized his views as fol-
lows:
"If we can carry Hamilton and Cuyohoga,
(Cinncinnati and Cleveland), by the usual Demo-
cratic majorities, we shall carry the state sure.
However, we have one advantage over the Re
publicans. They must have Ohio, while we can
get along without it. 1t is vital to them to win
the October election on account of its
moral influence in the November election.
We are hopeful, although not
certain, for we do not know what the Republi-
may do before election day, how much
money they may throw into the state, or what
else they may resort to- That they are alarmed
is seen by the importation of Blaine to stir up
enthusiasm. They have pleanty of money
which they are spending in every direction. An
instance of their methods of using money is
shown in the reception given Logan at Akron,
scores of the outside clubs which we're present
were literally, bought each man who attended be-
ing given uniform, free ride to and from the
city and Two meal tickets. This is also an evil
dence of the desperate straits to which the
Republicans are reduced. No complete poll of
the state has been made. 1 was afforded access
tions of the state, and the aggregate shows that
the Democratic strength that is, new voters, has
increased more rapidly than that of the Republi.
cans; in fact ratio of nearly two to one.''
The same partial returns show that there is q
good deal of apathy among the Republicans,
much more than among their opponents. Still
another point, on which the Democrats place
some reliance, is that the western reserve has
not increased in Republicans, and that they
reached their maximum strength in 1880 A
great immigration has been steadily flowing into
that region which is mainly Democratic in its
tendencies. These are some of the foundations
which the Democrats of Ohio are rearing
hopes of success. That there is some Irish dis
affection is true. but there will be a substantial
loss of German votes to the Republicans which viii
probably more than compensate for the Irish Sc
cession.

The acquaintance ripened into love, at least on
her part, and three nights ago an attempt was
made by the prisoner, assisted by outsiders, to

company in view of my valuable services, in a

Boston, Sept. 2S.-The recent statements
about the health, or i'll health, of Hon. James G..
Blaine, have much more basis In fact than the
Republican papers are willing TO admit. A very
prominent candidate at Maranacook last month,
watched him with professional eye for an hour
or more, and on his return to Boston said to his
friends: ''Mr. Blaine is a sufferer from brights
disease, if any judge. He has that com
paint, and not in any incipient stage either
similar diagnoses have been made by other
physicians without, however, the perquisite to
absolute accuracy of personal examination. The
friends of Mr.. Blaine, while general princi-
pies they holly deny these reports for campaign
purposes, insist that nothing in his appearance
leads those intimate with him to believe that he
is ill. A gentleman who passed the day
in the mansion at Augusta, pos
itiyely states that the candidates movements
were active as they ever were, and that his
spirits were buoyant. Indeed said this gen
tleman, ''if Blaine is a sick man, I never saw
well one' There is, however, trustworthy evil
dence that on several recent occasions persons
who have been passengers on railroads with Mr..
Blaine have noticed and spoken Of his careworn
and pallid appearance, and of his apparent
fatigue, which led him to lay his head on the
seat in 'front.' rest it upon his hand.
