Blaine Wayes the Bloody Shirt.


II seems that the results of the elections
in Ohio and West Virginia have completely
upset Mr.. BLAINE. He has at last dropped
all disguise, and is waving the bloody shirt
in q manner calculated 10 make even Lo-
GAN fear for his laurels. A few weeks ago
Mr. BLAINE was engaged in trying 10 ca
jole the South, and in measure left the
dirty work Of arousing sectional feeling to
bis lieutenant and his organs. Now he is
out-Hercding HERoD. Monday night at
Fort Wayne, Indiana, he attempted TO make
a speech from the balcony OF the Avcline
House, out the hurrabing for CLEVELAND
was 30 deafening that he had TO retire. He
then left the hotel, entered q hack, and,
having been driven TO point opposite
Liberty Hall, addressed the crowd from the
drivers seat. Here is paragraph from his
speech:
The October elections in Ohio and West
Virginia have put a new phase on tae M
tional contest, or rather they have repro
duced an old phase. The Democratic
party. as OF old, consider now that they
have a solid South again. They believe
that they will surely get l53 electoral
votes from sixteen southern States,
and then they expect. or they
hope, or they dream. that they may
secure New York and Indiana, and
that With New York aud Indiana added
10 the solid South they will seize the Gov
ernment OF the nation. They can't do il.
j do not believe that farmers, business
men, manufacturers, merchants, mechan-
les, and last OF all and most Of sill. don't
believe that the soldiers OF Indiana can be
put TO that usc. do not believe tat the
mtn who added lustre aud renown TO the
name OF your State through four years OF
bloody war can be used to cali into
the administration of the Government

the Senate OF the United States the Demo-
cratic party baye 81 members, OF which
number 81 come from tie South. OF their

the majority comes from the South, and
now the intention is. with an absolutely
solldified electoral vote from the South.
