Belford, of Coiorado-His Views on the
Political Outlook.
WASHINGTON, August Ist.-" Blaine is
going TO be elected said Belford, of Col
orado Without a doubt he will carry
New York, West Virginia and Ohio"
. What are your reasons for thinking
that Cleveland will be defeated ?"
=" He is political accident, nominated
by alliances with the political rings of New
York, Albany and Brooklyn. He is identi-
fed with the great corporations that have
been trying TO dominate this country for a
year. The people will tolerate them no
| longer We expect TO defeat him because he
is free-trader. A majority of the people
of this country are in favor of protection
The thirty-eight States do not propose that
two of them-New York and Ohio-shail
furnish us with constant Presidential can
didates upon the theory that nobody can
be elected without their consent We will
elect Blaine, because he has ideas as to
|
| think that Cleveland has any ideas on any
| subject. The idea,' continued Judge Bel
ford, of comparing a Copperhead of the
| Tom. Hendricks caiber-a man who re
| signed his pew in q churcn because the
! pastor preached a loyal sermon, who op-
| posed the war at every step, who fought
! every amendment to the Constitution. who
declared in a speech in the Senate that
Lincoln should be driven out Of the White
| House with Switches-to a man like Logan,
| who fought nobly through the war, and
| who is regarded on all sides as the greatest
| volunteer General of that war, is utterly
| ridiculous"
How about the dudes and mugwumps ?"
Even political dudes like George Will
lam Curtis, who part their hair in the
| middle, dare not announce their resolution
to support Hendricks. They are attempt
ing to promote friendship among the people
by proposing to vote for Cleveland and not
for Hendricks. Now every intelligent man
knows that one class of electors represent
both the President and Vice President, and
that when they vote for Cleveland they will
| also vote at the same time for Hendricks
Carl SchurZ, instead of being moral Re
publican, is like Captain Dalgetty, who
always drew his sword for the side he
thought had the most provisions. | can't
made speech for or a voluntary contribu-
| ton to his party. His tariff rates per night
were exceedingly large. Such herd of
political eunuchS can't resist the coming
cyclone. 1t would be a godsend to the peo-
pie OF this country if these bandbox states
men had the courage to announce publicly
what they are Northumberland is, mem
bers of the Democratic party, and nothing
more We are better off without them 1t
would be a good thing for the Republican
party if it was wholly rid of Them
What kind Of campaign is it going to
be?"
" We will have spirited campaign, and
one of b0undleSs enthusiasm for Blaine
and Logan. They will certainly be elect
ed. Their election is as certain as the fact
that God loves virtue and manliness, and
hates eunuchs and hypocrites."
