signed from the Republican state execu'
tive committee so as not TO engage in
raising money for political purposes,
the civil law forbidding federal officials
to engage in that work.
7 think there is a greater motive On
the part of the Republican party to
carry out the principles of clvil-service
reform than on the part of the Demo
cratic party, because the Republicans
are already in. While l believe
Cleveland to be politically honest, his
election would be putting the Gov
eminent not In the hands of a man, but
in the hands of a party which, as Curtis
says, is hungry and thirsty" Think
il would be unfortunate for the condi-
ton of the country to have such a whole
sale change.-Professor William G..
Morey, Rochester University.
Hooker of Vermont, secretary of the
national committee, said to O cores
pondent: Everything is all one way
in Vermont, and we shall have a very
easy time in that state. Blaine always
was the favorite there, and every sol
der is for Logan. There always is
some disaffection in presidential years,
however, and the present campaign is
no exception to the rule, but there is
less detection in Vermont than in 1880,
and since 1876, for that matter"
Secretary Mcpherson says that re-
ports from New York indicate that the
publication of the Cleveland scandal"
has given the Independents a chill, from
which they can never entirely recover
Carl Schurz's efforts are futile. Even
the furnace of the investigation com
mittee cannot restore their normal
warmth" he says. ''To vote with the
democrats would be so inconsistent with
their high moral character that many of
them are seeking the best means of get
ting out of the difficulty quietly.
Schurz and Curtis, he thinks, will be
o without a following, and Blaine
will carry New York by 70, 900 majority.
Republicans who voted for Cleveland
for governor. he says, tell him the same
story.
United States Senator Miller, of Cali.
fornia, in an interview with a cores
pondent said there was not a shadow OF
doubt that California, Oregon and Ne.
vada would cast their electoral votes for
Blaine and Logan. Mr.. Blaine's attitude
on the Chinese question, his solicitude
for the dignity of American labor and
his intense A~mericanism made him ex-
ceedingly popular in the Pacific States.

A correspondent from Saratoga writes
the New York Sun urging that Cleve-
land withdraw aud Tilden be substi-
tuted. The Sun prints the communi-
cation double loaded, and at the head
of a column on the editorial page. The
letter says: "a vast majority of his
countrymen wanted Tilden. The con-
vention knew it, and should have APP
to Mr.. Tilden's patriotism. It
would not have been III vain But it is
too late now to mend the matter. No
it isn't. 1t never is. Let the Demo
cratic national committee tell Mr.. Oeve-
land that his nomination was a mistake
at any rate, or premature, and he can
not hesitate to retire, for he must see
that would secure success to the ticket
1t once, and great credit to himself.
But would Mr.. Tilden in that event be
persuaded to consent to the use of his
name? Mr.. Tilden is a patriot as well
statesman. He would do anything to
serve his country.
