by the veto were powerful instruments of

CHARLES A. DANA INTERVIEW.

New YORK, Aug. 26.-Charles A.
Dana was interviewed on the political
situation to-day to the following effect:
Glow will New York State 90 next
fall?'' asked the reporter.
81 don't know replied Mr.. Dana
"What are the weak points in Cleve-
lands fitness for the Presidency"
"The weak points in Cleveland are his
ignorance, his dullness and narrowness of
mind, his inability to deal with questions
that require enlarged intelligence, his
coarse personal tastes and habits, his
indifference to the usages of cultivated
and refined society, and his bad record in
private life. Besides he has hanged men,
and while that is useful function
perhaps, one does not like to have had it
performed by man who is running for
President"
"Do you look for heavy detection of
the Irish voters in favor of Blaine?"
81 don't know. 1t is so reported, but
| have no personal knowledge of it,"
(Which of the heretofore considered
doubtful states will give their electoral
votes for Blaine?"
"Ask me an easier one. | am not a
prophet"
"Will Cleveland suffer serious loss OF
votes by the exposure of the Maria Hap
lin scandal?"
81 have no doubt he will"
"What great question should guide
voters in voting for presidential candi-
dates?"
every man must judge for himself /
shall be guided first of all by the wish to
protest against the folly of nominating a
man like Mr.. Cleveland "
."Why do you favor the election oi
General Butler in preference to Cleveland
or Blaine?"
Because he is more capable, and a
cleaner man than either. He is Dem
ocIat."
"What will be the result of Buffers
candidacy upon the chances of Blaine
and CleYeland?'
81 decline to guess"
In which states will Buffers strength
be most decidedly felt?"
''In New York, Connecticut, New
Jersey, and Massachusetts, suppose"
"What strength will st. John develop.
81 can't tell. His friends claim $4,000
votes in New York State"
"What of the probabilities of the vote
for President being thrown into tbs
House of Representatives"
ut is not to be expected, but it may
happen. That will form az interesting
complication if it happens"

THE POOR INDEPENDENTS.

The independent" movement, which
was Instituted by a select number OF
anti-Blaine Republicans, is undergoing
the experience of all similar movements
since the Republican party has been in
existence. Republican "kickers, " boilers
and sore.heads have never had credita
BILE or successful public history after
their revolt against the Republican
masses, and all politicians of this char
acter have subsided into defeat and
obscurity, except in rare instances in
Democratic districts, where they have
made themselves noisy and aggressive
Democrats, and have succeeded in secur-
ing some of the spoils of Office as reward
for perfide and dishonor. In the past no
politician who has attempted to betray
the Republican party has had any
following in his transit to the Democratic
ranks, and this experience is being
repeated in the present campaign. The
"Independents," who made their appear
ance in opposition to the Republican
candidates with more than the ordinary
amount of bluster and braggadocio, have
fulfilled none of the promises or menaces
with which they amused themselves and
others in the earlier days of the canvass.
None of the reinforcements which they
expected have arrived. Their number is
less now than it was at the beginning.
Those who early precipitated themselves
into the vortex of 'Independent"
political activity have been without
imitators; the crowds whom they ex-
pected to follow them remained behind !;
they are alone in their self-exile from
the Republican party, or are so few in
numbers as hardly to be company for
each other. The "Independent" press is
as badly off as the Independent
politicians, haying lost in circulation,
influence and profits far beyond any
estimate which has been made of the
facts.
1t is the old story over again. While
trusted Republican leaders and popular
Republican newspapers have remained
within the Republican party, and true to
its faith and practice, they have possessed
great power and influence But they
| have possessed power and influence as
Republicans. The Republican party
made them, clothed them with leader
ship, and promoted them in It's councils.
When they left the Republican party
they left behind all that it had given
them. They carried out of the Repub
lican party none of Its trust, none of its
confidence, none of the influence which
they had derived from the trust and
confidence they were so unwise as to
betray. The independent element in
this campaign will not amount to enough
10 entitle it to be counted when the votes
are canvassed. Chicago Journal.

STOLEN FY GYPsIEs Thomas Schlai,
a Bohemian residing near Medford, Wiz,
whose two little children were stolen by
gypsies on the 25th of April last, an &C
count of which was published in the
Pioneer Press shortly after the occurrence,
was in St. Paul yesterday, and left for
Fairbault in the evening. He was in
formed by letter from Fairbault that a
band of gypsies camped near there mad a
little girl answering the description of
the one stolen, and he goes there with
the hope of finding his child. The child
in the camp is about years old. has
light hair and is evidently not gypsy.
About month ago it was reported to the
St. Paul police that a band of gypsies
camped about three miles from the city
had two children answering the descrip-
ton of those stolen, but an investigation
proved the report to be untrue. The
father has so far been unable to find any
reliable trace of his children and goes to
Fairbault with little hope of succeeding
in his search. Annie, the little girl, was
about years old. and Frank, the boy,
was about 6. Each had light hair, blue
eyes and could speak some Engllsh.-H

BLAINE IN KENTUCKY.

The Hon. Wallace Gruelle, the leading
Democratic editor of the Breckenridge
(Ky.) Democrat, and who lived in Mil.
lersburg when Mr.. Blaine taught school
there, has published the following editor
ial in his paper:
If there has been anything in the
story of Mr. Blaine's having wronged a
young inmate, either teacher or pupil, of
a seminary at Georgetown, KY, at the
time he was engaged as tutor in the
Western Institution, we, who were born
and reared in that country, would have
heard something of it, particularly if the
scandal had reached the dimensions of
breaking up the school. We always
heard the three Misses Stanwood, one of
whom is now the wife of Mr. Blaine,
spoken OF in terms of the greatest affec-
ton by their pupils, and we know that
they were held in high esteem by the
entire community of George own and
Millersville. We meyer heard of this
scandal until 1876, and then we branded
it, as we do now, as an atrocious calumny.
No man in America will oppose Mr..
Blaine for the Presidency with more
persistency than ourself, but we base our
opposition on his record as public man,
and not on falsehoods hatched up by his
enemies: falsehoods involving the reputa-
tion of a pure, good woman; falsehoods
any gentleman would hesitate 10 read in
PRINT, and scorn to repeat with his own
tongue, even though they were true,
instead of false. Let us, men and
brethren, either fight fairly and decently,
or back out of the contest.
