didates are working as hard as il the
election was to occur tomorrow. In
this state we have the fun of an election
every year, however.

The Drummers' Candidate.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Oct 5.-'The committee ap
pointed by the drummers national convention
waited on Hon, Joseph Mulhatton last evening
and notified him officially of his nomination for
President of the United States. Mr.. Mulhat
tons letter of acceptance appears in the Courier
Journal tomorrow. The principal points of in
terest in it are that the uprising of the drum
mer fraternity means new era, when
business men shall prevent professional
politicians and the lower classes from ruling the
business interests of the country; it favors pro
hibition because no drummer or business man
can drink liquors and be successful it opposes
convict labor because it is a system of slavery is
unconstitutional, and interferes with honest
workingmen, is brutal and cruel and relic of
barbarisn the letter favors retrcnchment and
reform, abolition of war taxes, the surplus in
the treasury to be applied at once to iquidating
the public debt and for public improyements.

COLONIZING AFRICA.

Germany's Movements Exciting Apprehen-
sion Among English Merchants.
LONDON Oct 4-The activity of the German
movements for colonizing the west coast of
Africa is exciting grave alarm among English
merchants. Several influential chambers of
commerce have sent strongly worded petitions
to Lord Granville the Foreign Secretary. de-
claring that the interests of British shippers and
traders doing business in Africa are seriously
menaeed by the German invasion, and praying
the government to take energetic measures to
protect this important trade The petitioners
take the ground that the Germans, if allowed
to establish themselves firmly in the
Comerooons district and the other
places they seek to occupy, would
be certain to levy dltferential duties, dis
eliminating against British and III favor of Ger
man products, and thus crushing out fair COM
petition. 1T is known, however that Lord
Granville is disposed to favor German colonial
tion, as a counterpOise to that OF France. He
has recently expressed the belief that the Ger
mans would prove more kindly ncighbors than
the French, and would do less than the latter to
hamper British trade.
The eminent African explorer Herr Hege is
expected to arrive in Hamburg shortly. 1t is
said that Prince Bismarck has expressed a de-
sire to meet and confer with him relative to the
position recently taken by Germany in connec-
ton with her anneXatious Of territory on the
west coast of Africa.

ttGath'sr New York Letter

The Blindness of the Brewers in Rushing
the Liquor Question the Country.
"Gath's'' New York Letter.
The simple fact about the beer question, con-
sdered from an American standpoint, is that it
has long refused to consider any general or out
side opinion. 1t had good thing, fat thing, a
profitable thing and it found that American pol
itcs being bottomed on votes, was afraid of it.
l am an old beer-drnker. Nothing suits me bet
ter when my stomach is in good condition than
to go to a saloon and get some fresh beer, pro-
provided [ know it to be pure, aud have some
sausage or sardines, and take a cheap cigar, and
hear my friends or declaim to them But | new
er expected that institution would sit down on
me and mine in the great controversies which
keep nations afloat and make them tremendous
to their foreign enemies The time may come
when the United States, which has cost several
generations to bring into existence and maintain
it, will be thrown away by some brewer refusing
to consider anything but his lot of swash Re
member that both the Germans and the Amer
leans began in revolutionary and free conditions
and no tyranny has ever been found which can
suppress either. The brewer may have clear
head, but suspect him of being a little mud

the conclusion that he is big enough to defy the
United States. He has the superstition that
some prohibitory liquor law overhangs him, and
he must stick everything around him with the
idea that he is killing that question.
l draw a strong distinction between the
brewers monopoly and the respectable saloon
keeper and the German. 1t may be that in the
providence of God we will be called upon this
autumn to forget all past differences in the
American race, and ask which is the next tyrant

our picking. When it is picked there is but one

Columns to the Enemies of Mr.. Blaine.

The Republicans of Cincinnati are very much
torn up to-day about the Commercial Gazette

advertising rates to the independent Repubh
cans to attack Blaine Mr. Blaine himself left
here feeling very sore over the matter 1t is
said numerous kilograms were sent by leading
Republicans to Hastead in New York to-day
protesting against this. 1t appears that the
column is sold as an advertising column with
reading matter. 1t has not been announc ed
who furnished the money to the so-called inde-
pendent Republicans for this enterprise but it
has been intmated that they are included in the
list of names signed to the call to Carl Schurz
purporting to come from independent Republi-
cans. Lawrence Maxwell disappointed as
prant for nomination by the Republicans, is
supposed to be the prime mover in this enter
prise. There is but very small handful of in
dependent Republicans here, and the fact that
none of them are overstocked with money gives
ground for the inference that they have re
ceived financial help from the outside, probably
from New York

THE CHARGES AGAINST BLAINE.
Prof. G. +. Wright, of OberIn College, De
clares They Are Not Proven.

Letter in Cleveland Leader.
The conclusions to which my investigations
have led me are briefly these:
The charges against Mr.. Blaine are far from
being proved Many of them we can clearly
show to be erroneous, and the worst of them
admit of an explanation, unless we go upon the
principal that with public men the worst posi-
BILE construction should always be put upon their
actions and words
But in our opinion, the position of Mr. Blaine
is such--he has been so long open to public criti
cism, he is confded in so largely by the best of
men of the Republican party who have had am
pie opportunities to know him, among others by
President Garfeld-that his dubious actions are
entitled to a generous construction. 1t is as
serted, / know, that Edmunds distrusts Mr.
Blaine, and that he has repeatedly said in pub
lie that Blaine in the Senate was the tool of Jay
Gould But Mr.. Edmunds has presided at a
Blaine meeting since the nomination, a nd now
states that he never said any such thing as that
Blaine was the tool of Gould in the Senate and
that he could not have said it, because he never
thought it.
If there is one discouraging thing in the
present political campaign it is that the Demo
Gratis and the independent Republicans are both
50 TeduH 10 HOlu III dUeydnce JHelf pOlllcdl pfln-
ciples, under the hopes of sailing into office on
the strength of the personal prejudces they
hope to rouse against Mr.. Blaine by their own
misrepresentation. Misrepresentation is all
the stock they have in trade. l have had this
consideration forced upon me during the exten.
sive trip made this summer through Missouri,
southern Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, and
western Pennsylvania. In the guise of geolo-
gst have been permitted incidentally to ascer-
tain the sentiment prevailing in the saloons and
kindred places where the rank and file of
Democracy spend their leisure hours. SO far as
have read this public sentiment the main
reasons urged for the triumph of the Democratic
party are two: First, to get the Republicans
out of office; second, to rebuke the tenn
perance sentiment which so manifestly
prevails among the Republicans. The
opposition of the Democratic party to sumptu
airy laws tells the whole story. The Democratic
party is opposed to all positive legislation in
favor of morality They are opposed to temper
ance laws and to Sunday legislation, and for
this reason | cannot believe that the Prohibi
tionists will thoughtlessly throw the power into
their hands And how the civservice reform
ers should hope to promote their cause by inau-
gurating party whose first move logically and
necessarily, will be to make q clean sweep of all
the officers from the clerk at Washington to
the hght-housekeeper at Alaska, is more than
can comprehend
