Some of the Republican papers are
beginning to perceive that they cannot
let Mr.. Blaine's record 90 without dis.
cussion and defense, and they are vary
reluctantly examining the "Mulliean let
ters" with the faint hope OF taking the
sling out of them by a sort of q lxseed
poultice treatment. The Boston Jour-
nal, after displaying the letter in which
Mr.. Blame took such pains to let War
rem Fisher understand that he didn't
mean to he deadhead, and to post him
with arguments to prove as much tc Mr..
Caldwell by showing how valuable SER
vice he had done that persons railroad
by ruling as speaker,-after this the
Journal is constrained to admit that s.is

anxious ito obtain the interest which
Caldwell had promised" "Over-anx-
ious" is a wel-chosen word; it is much
better to allow that he was over anxious
than TO suppress all consideration OF the
matter, as the New York Tribune does.
Gen Hawley undertook, in his Brook.
lyn speech, the other evening, 10 make
defense of Mr.. Blaine, and used Mr..
Blaine as a guide in his line OF treat
ment, but whether his success was too
perfect, or whether the Tribune couldn't
spend time to explain the particulars to
its readers-who know nothing about 1t
except what they can remember, unless
they read the full account from the Con-
gressional Record which the wicked
Democrats published as campaign doc
ument-wha'ever the cause may have
been. the Tribune did not contain word
of Gen. HawleY's plea. This is Blaine
journalism.

Taylor's Speech in Congress.

laylOrS Spoecu III OOnSTeSSs
The Washington Post, of the morning
after Taylor delivered his speech iuthe
House, on the tariff question. says:
"The House held a session last even.
ing to hear tariff speeches. When Mr..
] D. Taylor exuded his effort in behalf
of protection for protec,ion's sake, he
had only the Chairman of the Commit
tee of the Whole and Speaker Carlisle
for auditors. This is keen insult to the
Cambridge stateemau. He cannot help
seeing that Speaker Carlisle only remain
ed so that the committee might rise. II
The Speaker had left, the Hall Of Repre-
sentatves would have presented scene
of desolation this morning. Mr. Bagely
would have been stretched lifeless on The
Speakers chair, talked 10 death, and Mr..
Taylor would, according to parliamentary
exigencies of the record, still have heen
addressing the Committee Of the Whole
House on tho State of the Union, and
having under consideration the bill { q
B. 5S93) to reduce impor, duties and
war tariff taxes"

w Governor Plaisted says in the
New Age:
That Mr.. Blaine is directly and solely
responsible for the scandalous publica-
ton against Mr.. Cleveland in both the
Boston Journal and Buffalo Telegraph
no intelligent person can have a reason
able doubt. What could be more in
credible than that such an attack should
be made upon Presidential candidate
without consultation with ard the con-
sent of the opposing candidate or his
responsible managers The infamous
course of the Boston journal, which
was followed by all the Republican or
gans Ia Maine except the Press, stirred
up Governor Clevelaud's friends, and he
was consulted and inquired OF whether
he would consent to a relaliatory attack
on Mr.. Blaine's private character, Gov.
ernor Cleveland replied to the sugg. 8.
tion, Indignantly, "No." Such was the
conduct OF James G. Blaine; such was
the conduct Of Grover Cleveland. Wha

Gen. Warner, who is now prominent
as q candidate for Congress but com
parative stranger to Belm ,nt County
people, won his title by hard service in
the Union army. When the war broke
out he was tescher in the college at
Mercer, Pa, and assisted in raising q
company from that town, composed large
ly of students. He entered the service
as private, but soon became csptain
and afterw wards lieutenant colonel The
regiment arrived at Washington just
when the demoralizsd forces from Bull
Run were making, as Artemus Ward
said, their "masterly advance on WASH
ington." At the battle Of Antietam Col
Warner was wounded by ball in the
thigh. At Gettysburg, he had not re-
covered and was obliged to use canes.
The officers of bis brigade were compel
led to dismount on account of the terrific
fire, but owing 20 bis wounds Gen. War
ner remained in the saddle, and during
the engagement the horse fell upon him
and injured his wounded thigh. This
him from further active SER
vice and he was sent to Indianapolis,
where he continued on duty in more
quiet capacity.

Washington Dispatch to the Public Ledger.
The real information received here
from the West and South In regard to
the political situation Is very different
from the statements daily given to the
public by those Republican journals
which are strictly partisan. Within a
fortnight those who have access 10 the
private information which comes here to
Republicans have been surprised at the
unanimity Of opinion that, instead Of the
old-time Republican majorities In the
leading Western states, there sre I!!sin
indication that every one Of them is rap
idly becoming uncomiortably CLOSE
This Information, which comes by letter
and has been brought also In person by
men 9romiuent in The contest which is
opening, is from supporters Of the Re.
publican ticket. In all cases a want Of
money is noted. In no single Western
state are Republicans giving as they
have In other campaigns. From sections
like the Western Reserve in Ohio, which
have been heralded to the country as
ION fire for the Republican ticket" re-
ports come from leading men of an apa-
thy which indicate large stay.at home
vote. The truth about Ohio to-day is
that many of the Republican workers
who are recognized as those who should
be correctly informed regard that state
as exceedingly close with the present
chances in favor Of the Democrats. The
same is undoubtedly true of Wisconsin,
and within the last week Republicans are
beginning to admit that Michigan is no
longer by any means sure state Un-
less the inside information coming here
both to Republicans and Democrats Is
altogether at fault there is no longer any
chance of the Blame ticket carrying that
state. There are even reports from Iowa
that give the Republicans uneasiness
with respect to the congressional vote.
Public men as prominent as any among
the Republicans have written here prsc.
tically conceding another district to the
Democrats and saying that the Rspubli-
cans must be prepared TO see that state
go for Blaine only by a reduced major
itv. A German who has been observing
the conditions 10 that state and report
ing here, says that he did not find sim
gle one Of his countrymen who would
vote the Republican ticket. In brief the
Republican situation, as recognized by
those managing the campaign, is that
the states Of the Central West. with the
possible exception of illinois. are to day
debatable ground The National Com
mittee, instead Of being able to conaue
it's efforts, as heretofore, to Ohio and
Indiana, has suddenly been aroused to
the fact that both Michigan and Wiscon
sin are both slipping away from them,
aud that it may vet he possible for the
Democrats to succeed without single
Eastern state.
