OF Calling upon various religious bodies to assist in
taking care OF the Indians could have been con-

but some OF those who have succeeded him In office

Changing from Blaine TO Cleveland.

The change of the Catholic Telegraph,
of Albany, and of the vicar general of
the district, from Blaine to Cleveland,
Insignificant of the strong current that
is coalescing Democratic sentiment into
the support of the national ticket.
There was some feeling among the Dem
ocratic Catholics of New York against
Governor Cleveland, because of miscon
ception of his action upon some legisla-
tion, and it had q tendency to ALLEVIATE
some of their support from him i'll his
present candidacy. But under the pres
sure of the approaching decision at the
polls all this feeling has faded away,
and there is no possible occasion
for doubling that Cleveland and Hen
bricks will poll every Democratic vote in
New York.
Judge Thurman, who has just returned
from participation in the great Tammany
meeting, declares that there is a positive
union of every Democratic element in
the support of the ticket The Tammany.
ties are as heartily engaged in the effort
to elect it as any of the original friends
of Cleveland's nomination. The refusal
by Blaine and Lowell to extend to the
naturaiized citizens of America the pro
lection of her nationality has fixed tie
votes of this class firmly to the Demo
cratic standard. They had an utter mis-
conception of international law, Judge
Thurman declares, as its most ordinary
student knows in their treatment Of the
McSweeney case.
1t may be that, in the evident des-
peration of the Republican canvass IN
New York, it is the purpose OF the
leaders to abandon the struggle in that
state and put their resources into Con-
necticut and New jersey. Quite proba
bly, it is the plan to keep up a hurrah in
New York and spend the money aud dc
the work elsewhere. Between Republi-
can disaffection aud Democratic unity
In the Empire state the Republican boat
is sure to be wrecked.

The Boston Herald few days ago
printed as an item of news the statement
that General Butler would be rotten-egged
at his meeting in South Boston Friday
night on account Of an alleged insult given
by him TO WaId Thirteen in a previous
meeting. 4 very hostile feeling was ex.
cited il the ward. II is alleged by But
ler's followers that, by reason Of this
item, q crowd of rOughs gathered 10 the
hall with several baskets of very ripe eggs,
which they had proc lred in shops in the
vicinity. The able strategist, however,
outgeneraled his opponents By having on
hand a large body OF policemen and But
Ter adherents. The latter were packed
in six rows desp around the platform,
and, at the first show OF disorder,
made demonstration which proved to the
disturbers that serious trouble would en-
sue il an egg was thrown. Butler said he
{ had faced bullets, and could fa-e softer
missiles. He then made terribly bitter
! attack upon the Herald and It's proprietors,
whom no stigmatized as liars, slauderers,
perjuTers and disturbers Of the peace. He
charged Mr. PuIsifer with hiring convict
labor and never paying for it, and chal
lenged the proprietors 10 bring suit fol
libsl against him in the courts for what
he said.
The scene in the hall. where his friends
were in the majority, beggars description
during the time occupied in the delivery OF
the sclthing attack At the close Butler
got into hack, slept until he reached
| Faneuil hall, and then delivered another
address. Still later he spoke at considera
| bic length in East Boston
