their heartless work to hawk at and. tear in
shreds personal character, and no consider
alton for the family or relatives of the nom
inees or for the nominees themselves re-
strain their viperous assaults-assaults per-
tanning to mere personalities, scarcely wor-
thy of note or thought.
Why cannot the campaign be fought out
on public grounds. 1t is legitimate to criti-
cize and condemn, or sustain and commend
the official acts of public men, and to dis
cuss principles and issues pertaining to gen.
eral pu blic interest. But to descend into
purlieus of private life, and carry dismay,
CONSERVATION, distress and unhappiness into
private circles and into the families and groups
OF relatives of candidates by false and lying
vituperation, discloses a spirit not of this
world but rather of the pit beneath.
If Mr.. Blaine would bravely withdraw his
libel suit, where a verdict would seem to be
and admissions, and treat his personal cal
umniators, and their calumnies as does Gov
ernor Cleveland, with silent scorn and coz
tempt, better would it be for his own peace
and that of his family, and none the less for
his party.
These reflections are proposed in the spir-
1t OF judicial fairness and impartiali.y, and
as such they are commended to the reader
thoughtful consideration. To rescue the
campaign as far as may be, from mere per-
son al abuse, and foul gutter filth, is work
OF manliness, not of partisan impulse or
hate

BLAINE'S RECORD.
A Libel Suit Growing Out of a Charge
OF Bribery on the Gentle James.
Special Telegram to the Globe


HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 24.-The truthful
ness of statement in the Harrisburg Patriot,
charging bribery, on the alleged authority of
Charles H. Bergner, former editor and pro-
prietor of the Harrisburg Telegraph, on
James G.. Blaine while speaker
of the house of representatives, hav-
ing been questioned by a number
of journals, suit for libel was instituted yes
terday against George D. Herbert, the
author of the article, with the view of estab-
fishing its truth or falsity. A. D. Seller and
Eldridge McConkey, secretaries of the State
Agricultural society; Samuel Kunkel, teller
in the Mechanics bank of Harrisburg, and
F. A. Boehmer, business man of this city,
were subpenaed to appear at hearing
this afternoon at Alderman Fager's
office. All were present, but no
one had any opportunity of testifying owing
to the action of District Attorney McCarrell,
who assumed control of the case. Samuel
j. Anderson, detective, entered the suit, but
the district attorney, in the interest of
Bergnez, claimed Jurisdiction. He objected
to any testimony, except to establish the
proof of publication, and the alderman do
clined to take action on the case until he had
further informed himself as to his authority
in the premises. The hearing was therefore
continued until Monday afternoon.
The article whose truth it is sought to es-
tablish by sworn testimony disclosed that
Charles II. Bergner stated few mouths ago
to a number of persons that Blaine was de-
feated for nomination for president in 1876
because of a revelation made by VIM. H.
Kemble, one of the delegates to the Cincin-
natl convention from Philadelphia.
Bergner's alleged story was substantially
as follows: Indications pointed to Blaine's
nomination. The Pennsylvania delegates
returned for consultation. Kemble said 1t
would not do to nominate Blaine because of
his corrupt official record. He Kemble)
himself had some relations with Blaine as
speaker, which was represented by two
cancelled checks. He exhibited one
for $4,000 and the other for $4,000,
which amounts he had given to Blaine for
ruling on a measure in which he (Kemble) was
interested. These checks Bergner is alleged
to have said were in his hands during the
sitting of the convention. According to
Kemble's statement both checks were pay
able to Blaine's order, or signed by Kemble
and endorsed by Blaine.

The Sc. Paul Team,

A ST. Paul morning paper heard rumor
about the home team making trip, and not
being able to elicit any facts regarding the
matter, manufactured a ridiculous story to
the effect that the boys were invited to play
sixteen games with the Cincinnati Amer
leans, getting 500 guaranteed in each, the
games to begin sometime after Sept. u,
the date OF the close of the Amer
lean association season. The Cincinnati
American team is scheduled to play regular
championship game in Philadelphia Sept. 81,
and will go from there to Baltimore, Rich
mond, Pittsburg, New York and Brooklyn,
closing the season i the latter city Oct. 15
From Brooklyn the team will go to Boston
and play exhibition games on Oct. 16 and II.
The Union association teams, however, will
begin playing in the west in few days, and
it is understood that the st. Paul team has
secured dates for games with several of these
and will leave for the trip tonight. The
cities to be visited are Cincinnati, St. Louis,
Kansas City and Milwaukee. The team goes
on its own hook, as 1t was regularly dis
banded on Saturday last. It is believed no
losses win be incurred, the guarantees being
sufficient, it is said, to cover ordinary ex-
penses. The club will be under the manage
ment of Hengle. second baseman.

Democrats Hopeful of Success on the
State and Presidential Tickets.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. /

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 24.-Messrs. Fratt,
Parkinson and Gallagher, of the Democratic
state ticket, made Milwaukee short visit,
arriving last night and departing at noon to-
day. During the forenoon they paid their
respects to DR.. Anderson, at the Democratic
headquarters, and held a private conference,
at which the prospects of success at the COM
ing election were carefully discussed. The
gentlemen expressed themselves as very
well pleased at the outlook.
The center of interest to local politicians is
the county ticket, for the selection of which
a convention is called for Saturday, the 4th
of next month. Candidates are multiplying
on every hand, and the bushes have not all
been shaken. From appearances it seems
that the contest is likely to prove prolific of
much bitterness.
Some establishment was caused to-day by
he announcement that John Black had
Withdrawn from the fight for the congress-
ional nomination. Although it has been
openly denied that Mr.. Black was candidate
the initiated understand that the wires were
being carefully worked in his
interest by his numerous friends
This work was so thorough that
Deuster's friends set up an indignant pro-
test. The prospect ahead showed split
would occur unless one or the
other of the gentlemen withdrew. Know
ing that the hope of the Democratic party tor
success in the district is in maintaining a
perfect harmony and union of interest, Mr..
Black decided to withdraw. To-day his in
tention was publicly announced; this leaves
the field open to Deuster. Republicans are
engaged in discussing the probability that
Blaine will pay visit to this state, for
the necessity of a little magnetism
In the canvass is plainly apparent. Hence
the effor to secure Blaine's presence. 1t is
said that if he visits Chicago, Blaine will
certainly come to Milwaukee. When he
may be expected if he comes at all has not
been decided. 1t was reported at hide
pendent headquarters this evening that
Judge C. NJ. Butt, of Vernon county, has
| declared for Cleveland. The in
formation was given on advice received from
! Virginia. This information is important, in
that Judge Butt is man of much influence
in his section. He was the Republican can
didate for congress against Woodward in the
Seventh district two years ago. The judge
served as senator from his district in the
legislature of 1S69-7O, and is now serving as
county judge of Vernon county. The defec-
| ton of so prominent a leader it is claimed,
will be bad blow to the Republicans in that
county.

CLEVELAND, Sept. 23.-Frequent hard

The judges, satisfied that Baby Mine was
not driven to win, put another driver behind
her to-day. The race was protested by the
owner of Lena Swallow, who claimed that
Baby Mine is a ringer and has a record
barring her from that class, The judges
called up the man who entered Baby Mine,
and ne claimed not to know the name or
residence of her owner. The judges, salts
fed of fraud, expelled the mare after the
