An Epoch in the Canvass.
ALBANY Journal

The speech of senator Edmunds marks
an epoch in the canvass. Up to the pres
ent, much has been said for and against
Mr., Blaine and Governor Cleveland. In
the main, it has served to obscure rather
than to illuminate the questions on which
the voters of the country wish light. If
what Senator Edmunds has tersely and
vigorously said shall bring distracted and
confused attention back to the greater
issues of the campaign, it will give di
rection and impetus to the struggle, Ger
