Campaign Notes.
At republican senatorial convention held ct !
marshheld, Wis, Hon. c. NJ, G. King, Of Neills- !
vile was nominated fer state senator
New York Tribune: The great fact which |
he New letters establish is that Mr. Blaine was |
the victim of Warren Fisher, deceived by him |
from the start induced to involve himself and
friends in an undertaking in which they All
suffered crippled by the refusal OF FISHER 70
keep his word persuaded when disaster came
to borrow money for the enterprise upon his
personal credit, and finally left In the iurch by
his profossed friend, who reasoned that Mr.
Blaine, being public man, could never AFFORD
10 demand what ~as justly due hum, 1or rear
Of scandal.
Augusta Special to Chicago Tribune: is
well known that the letters have beer hawked
about for some time with view Of getting Nj
Blaine's friends to stop their publication, out
they have refused to take any NOTICE OF these
offers and are congratulatlng themselves now
that ha democrats have published the letters
Eycrybod hers agrees that tho letters are the
best ii,ld Of tribute to Nj. Blaine's honesty and
fidelity to his friends. His distress, because he
was unable to raise S25,Oo0 to pay loan he
had secured for the railroad company, proves
conciusiyaly the falschood about his being
millionaire while his strenuous efforts TO keep
the railroad company out of financial difficulty
isyegar!ed as proof that he was rightin saying
that he would be no deadhead in. the enterprise.
Secretary MCPHERSON says, with relation to
the new Mniligan letters, that it soe,ns to him
as if Mr. Blame and Fisher had had a misun-
derstanding about their business transactions
each claiming money was duo him, and that
was al! there was i'll the whole matter
"Ihe people wont be influenced by small
matter Of that kind" he says ''and I would
not be surprised if the publication would be
used as vas the 359in Garfelds campaign.
Secretary Mcpherson asserts very conf
dentially that the Republicans will carry Ohio
He gets q large mail every morning, and says
be finds in il every reason for encouragement
Most Of the letters received are requests for
anti ;arif talk, and are accompanied with the
assertion that this question is exciting the ut
most interest The result in Maine, they say,
had an electrical effect upon the state, and
where was idleness before there is great ac-
l!vity now Maine having been disposed Of,
this Inns became the battlefield, and about the
same tactics will be followed there as in the
September states. The Republicans CLAIM
that whatever the result III October may be,
Ohio will go Republican i'll November, az
b!sine is at leant $4,000 stronger than bis
ticket IN tho state.
Mr Paul WeHt prominent lawyer Of Bos-
ton in a letter to the Boston Journal, says he
made the acquaintance Of J. f. Mulligan, OF
Mulligan- letter notorioty in 1879, while be was
acting in law case with Loheir i WEIGH,
Mulligan'5 lawyers Mr.. West says he was
4 grant man at the time, and asked Mulllgans
opinion about Nj Blaine Mullisan said he
did not consider MI Blaine corrupt man;
also, that he believed he never sold his vote,
nor did he eyer useh his intluence as speaker or
congressman 10 Influence legislation in whichh
might be personally Interested
New York Tribune: We have high authority
for stating that Secretary, Fish has never an
nou,ced his intention OF supporting Gov.
Cleveaud aud good rcasons that he will vote
for Mr.. Blaine We call npon tho World to
prove it's assertion TO the contrary.
Prot Lewis Boss the distinguished nstrono-
mer and director OF the Dudley observatory,
at Albany n y, will make several campaign
speeches for Blaine and Logan. Prof Boss
has been for many years intimate friend Of
Mr.. Blaine. During his visit to Chill on tho
transit Of Venus expedition he became thor
oughly familiar with the benefcent results Of
Mr. Bl&ine's South American policy.
Prohibition St John now feels how aharper
th.un tllankless tooth it is to have eerpent
chnJ His boy il. the land Office sweags he
vii! vote for Blaine.
The Kenebec, Me, journal contains the fol-
lowing: "Mr. Blaine, accompanied by his wife,
arrived at Bar Harbor. In answer to reporter
who called at his residences to ascertain if he
wished to gay anything i'll regard TO the letters
given the public by Fisher and Mnlligan, Mr.
Blaine replied his only desire was that every vot
Or in the United States might read the letters for
himself and NOT form his judgment from edAt0
rial missre preseIt&tiOn in partisan Journals
There WAS MOI word in the letters, Mr. Blaine
added, which was not entirely consistent with
the most scrnpulous integrity and honor He
hoped every Republican paper III tho United
States would publish the letters in full
Washington Special The grist OF letters
daily received Ivy the repu bljcan congressional
committee may be considered true reflex OF
the general feeling throughout the country.
From every section comes the word that the
Maine election has had wonderfully encour-
aging effect Two or three letters received re-
Gently from the northwest give the strongest
possible sssnrnnces as to Wisconsin,. They
say it will give Blaine q larger ma ority than
it gave Garfield, notwithstanding the objects Of
Carl Schultz among the Germans.
John Finneriy, congressman from the Irish
American district of Chicago, in an article ia
his paper to the Citizen, dsclarcs very en-
physically for Blaine and Logan He says the
election Of Cleveland would be misfortune
and a curse.
Judge Severance: The people of this country,
IL order to do Justice by Themselves, ought TO
call two new conventions and nominate two new
tickets Judge Severance is ono Of the most
prominent Den,oeGuts in Minnesota and is
without peer in the Rtate as an eloquent aid
effective campaign speaker. His utte1ances
are signih can't as showing the feeling Of dis
gust among the better elements OF the Demo-
cratic party over the nomination Of man who
has no claims % craftsmanship and whoss
moral character is badly snlirched.
The charge that Mr. Blaine approved the t4,,
ring and feathering of tho Catholic priest, Faith
er Bapst IN Maine years nso, is promptly dis
proved by the Jesuit priest, Father Dealy, wha
was present at tho affair.
Stephen D. Elkins says with regard to cam
paign prospects,: '"Ilae labor of the last two
months is beginning 10 blossom. We see the
fruits of it daily, and feel the effects from every
source. / don't have the shghtest doubts Of
Ohio I rode all day on the cars with demo-
4 crat, recently, who said he had got tired of the
everlasting talk about carrying Ohio. He said
the Democrats had claimed Ohio In every presi.-
DENTAL election during the past ten years, but
they had newer carried it AMI newer would" p
'sPor every German the Democrats secure
4 from the Republicans in Wisconsin" said Uni
Aed States Senator Angus Cameron Of La Crosse,
ssthe Republicans will gain two Irishrnen from
ahe Democrats With the exception Of Mil
Maukee, perhaps, the detection in the German
Republican ranks will not be z per cent. The
irish detection from the Democrats, on the con-
t,ary, is Is, Il not 20. per cent In La Crosse
u I don't know y single German Republican who
4 win vote for Cleveland. This iiberality Of the
Germans, which leads them to attend opposi-
ton meetings, is gazing to fool the Democrats

vote, hut fiey will net get it in Wisconsin,
