my way to New York"
well, what do you think of 1.-THE
Democratic ticket?''
Well if the Democrats are as well salts
fled as we are, it is happy family all
around was the reply. Il think Cleve-
land is about the easiest man for us to beat
they could have put up
How about Hendricks as Vice-Presi-
dent ?'-
"He strengthens the ticket sufficiently
to carry Indiana. He makes the party
stronger in Indiana than it could possibly
have been without him; but l don't think
he can carry it."
How about the Independent move
ment?"
"Well, they are drawn in line now. and
will give us better chance to take their
measurement They compose men OF dig
nifty and ability, and in New York we will
have to watch what they are going to do.
They have papers, and in that way can
make big showing. 1t is likely, however,
that when it comes to vote they won
have as many as appearances would seem
to indicate. 1t is not likely that they can
control many votes
"Do YOU expect their action will be neu-
tralized by bolt on the part of Tammany?3
81 can't say what they may do. The
New York Star says they will do nothing.
guess we will have to accept that as au-
thority."
''There is a theory suggested said the
reporter, " that while Kelly will not openly
fight Cleveland in the campaign, there will
be stepping out of from 10000 10 o0,O0O
Irish votes, which will go for Blaine"
"That, | think, will be found to be the
case" was the reply.
"What do you expect to do III the
South? }"
ooh, we shall work there. 1t is about
time we should do something there. L do
not want to make any eXtrayagant claims.
We hope to carry some Southern States.
We shall look the States all over, carefully
considering what they have done and what
they are likely to do under certain circum-
stances. Wherever we see that there Is a
chance of success we shall put in strong
ticks. Where there is not we will let it
alone Yes, we shall direct some OF our
attention to the South"
"Do YOU think there is any foundation
for the claim that Blaine can carry Nlr-
ginia?"
Gas said, do not want to make any
extravagant claims, but we are going to
try. We shall endeavor to combine the
and ReadJuSters.
How is it to be effected?"
"Oh. that is what | am trying to find
out"
"Win Mr.. Blaine take the stump was
asked
No; Mr.. Blaine understands the pro-
prieties, probably, as well as any man in
public life, and he will stay i'll Maine.
There are no exigencies requiring such ac-
ton on his part, and there could not be.
He may have occasion to visit some of the
States during the campaign, but not for
political purposes
% 1t is said that the President and some
of the members of the Cabinet are not cor
dial in their support of Blaine. Is that so ?'
g think it is not. | have not seen the
President, but l have reasons to believe
that he and all his Cabinet will give the
ticket their earnest support. ] have per-
sonal assurances from some of the Cabinet
which warrant my saying this"
The Pennsylvania Independents for
Blaine.
PHILADELPHIA, July 14th.-TEc Press
prints an address to the Pennsylvania In
dependent Republicans, signed by Chair
Independent State Committee, also fifty
other prominent citizens. The Press says
the signers are the most influential of the
Pennsylvania Independents. Some of them
were active supporters of the Wolf revolt,
and all were prominent followers of John
Stewart in 1882. The address bases its
claim for confidence on the past acts of the
Independents, which, in 1881 and 1882, re-
ceived the support of $4,000 voters. 1t de-
careS that through the labors of the indie
pendentS the unit rule was overthrown,
direct representation established, and it had
become possible to hold q National Con-
vention that was representative i'll the true
sense. 1t cannot be gainsaid that Blaine is
the choice of the masses of the dominant
party in the United States, and that the
late Convention, better than most of its
gave heed 10 the demands
of its constituents. To oppose his
election would then, seem to be All
attack upon the results of independ-
ent work. Such opposition would not
only be difficult to depend upon in
theory, but would be most disastrous in its
results, since it involves the proposition of
surrendering the control of the country to
the Democracy and to party which has
been on the wrong side of an important
question settled in a most eventful period
of American history. and which has to
achievements, and to the time of Jefferson
for its virtues Nor would such opposition
be justified BY the fact that charges are
made against Blaine. 1t should not be for
gotten that these charges have been met by
the State of Maine, which has since elected
him to the Senate by Gsrlield, by whom
he was made Secretary of State, and by
that great party which has chosen him for
the Presidency. Every presumption IL III
favor of the man who has been SO trusted,
and tc have weight it is not enough that
such charges should be made, but that they
must be conclusively proven. The address
concludes We believe, whether or not
Blaine was our choice for the nomination,
that his election will best serve the interests
of the people, and that to defeat him would
be to aid in the restoration of machine
methods, and to intrust with general
power party which has given every evil
dence of inability to exercise it in such a
way as to promote the common welfare
The New York Independent Republicans.
NEW YORK, July 14th.-The Independ-
ent Republican Committee met this after
noon at the new headquarters, Carl Schurz
presiding. The following call was adopted
unanimously:
Inc underlined lUNllS tHt tpDuD-

The Anti-Monopolists and Cleveland.
NEW YORK. July 14th-F B. Thurber
one of the leaders of the anti-monopoly
party, said this morning: I'VE don't like
Cleveland, nor his friends His whole
course as Governor has been in favor of
monopoly as against the general public
interest. Butler is the only man whom
we can look TO to bring about the reforms
the country needs. The parties in the
country are OH the verge of a very marked
change. The rights of labor and opposi-
ton to monopoly are gaining ground day
by day. and will be the rallying cries OF
the coming campaign
