AND so 1T seems that the Blaineites are
50 alarmed at the prospect of their defeat
that they have become ratified" and sin
firm of purpose" at first their policy, q
wise one, was to soft sawder the South. But
the increased democratic majority in West
Virginia teaching them the South will re-
main solid, at least until national instead
of a9sectional President shall be elected,
they as wisely determined to let the South
ern States alone, but foolishly resolved to
raise the bloody shirt as means to make a
solid North. Now. however, becoming
aware that abuse of the South and attempt
cd revival of war animosities will not secure
them all the Northern States, they again
turn to the South, and are essaying the vain
task Of buying enough of her one hundred
and fifty three electoral votes to mike up
the deficit in the number they will get in
the North requisite to elect their tattooed
candidate. With this object in view, as first
stated in Yesterdays GAzETTE's Washing
ton correspondence, ex-senator Chaffee,
financial chairman of the national republic
can committee, has just gone to Petersburg,
aud, after comforting with General Malone,
has given him SIS, 900 in new Treasury notes
and . check for as much more as he Chaffee,
not Malone, may have thought necessary to
buy votes enough to carry the State for
Blaine. That there are some purchasable
voters in the State cannot be denied, but it
is impossible to believe there are enough to
secure the success of this nefarious scheme,
this infamous conspiracy, for to do SO would

THE BLAINE newspapers say the "Qusk-
ers, Thinkers and Menonites will vote for
Blaine because Of his attitude in favor of
settling international questions by arbitra-
ton, that peace and not war may prevail
among the nations Of the EARTH" But the
same newspapers say "the Irish will vote
for Blaine because he will force a
war with England and thereby give Ireland
chance to free herself" The newspapers
referred to, like Mr.. Raum, don't even pre-
tend to De consistent.

Elk Gov. ST. JOHN, in his recent speech
at Rochester, told the workiDgmen some
truths about the doubts the Blaineites have
attempted to raise in their minds concerning
The effect upon them of the changes the
democrats would make in the tariff if they
should get the possession of the Govern
ment, which went home, not only to those
who heard him, but to all other working
men, wherever they may be, who have read
his remarks He said
Il have been workingman. I know
what it is to WELD pick in mine, to chop
cord word and to swing a scythe. | have
always been protectionist. see the far
mers without market, see the mills and
manufactures of the country shutting down,
see men out of work and wages low.
What is the trouble? The tariff which the
times has been kept up, but the republican
promise has not been kept. believe now
that the tariff protects the monopolist ten
times more than it does the working man."
The greatest blunder the democrats have
made during the present campaign In some
parts of Virginia, as throughout the rest OF
the country, has been their failure to take
hold of the tariff question and to discuss it
thoroughly on the hastings, for no sensible
man, who is dsinterested, can correctly un-
derstand that question and favor any other
tariff than one that collects just enough, and
no more, revenue than is sufficient for the
expenses Of the Government economically
administered.

imply moral revolution no less radical
than disgraceful in the character OF Vlr'
ginia people. The mere fact that such an
attempt has been made is gross and un-
pardonable insult to the State, and snou'u'
of itself alone, be sufficient to induce every
reputable white man in the State, irrespec'
tive of his political utilization, to resent 1t IN
the most conspicuous manner by Young
against Mshone's Presidential electoral
ticket, composed as it is of scalawags Of
democratic antecedents. Such Infamous
political schemes were foreign to Virgins
until the advent of Mahor eism, and should
with all the other 'malign influences" OF thai
demoralizing ism, be eliminated from he'
borders as speedily as possible.

of Irish detection to the democratic cause,
that the reason of that entirely imaginary
detection is General Bragg's alleged denun-
citation of the Irish at the national democrat
ic convention. In the first place General
Bragg never denounced the Irish at Chica'
90 or any where else. General Bragg is
sensible and ambitious politician; but to
have denounced so large class OF voters
as the Irish, even if he bad cause, which he
did not have, would have manifested de-
gree of foolishness of which no body accus'
es him. The writer of this paragraph heard
the speech referred to, and there was not
word in it to which any reasonable Irish
American could have taken the slightest
execution. A verbatim report Of his speech
was made and published in the official re-
port of the proceedings Of the convention,
and though that report has been critically
examined by the Baineites, they can lind
nothing in it to substantiate the charge
that it was inimical to the Irish. Bat,
granting that it was, and that its author did
denounce the Irish; would that be any rea-
son for Irish democrats to desert their par
ty? Such an idea is an insult to the intel.
ligence of the people referred to. In this
country every man can say what he chooses,
and nobody, Irishmen, Germans or native
born Americans can stop him. But he only
speaks for himself, and no one except him
selfis responsible for what he says. The same
General Bragg, when member of Congress
year or two ago, and when he wanted to
make himself solid with the people of Wis
consin, denounced the members of his own
party in the South but no Southern demo-
GRAFT thinks such denunciation a sufficient
cause, or any cause at all, for him to vote
against Cleveland, though General Bragg
does support him. The Irish are as sensi-
BILE as any other people on the face of the
earth, aud no reasonable man among them
would desert his party because some one
in that party denounced them-which,
however, General Bragg did not do.

The Madness of Andre Gill. the Well

The Madness of Andre Gill, the Well
Known Caricattsrist.
ICor. Philadelphia Times.l
Andre Gill, one of the best-known and
most widely popular of modern French
caricaturists, is now over a twelvemonth
an inmate of the lunatic asylum OF Char
enton, and hear from some of his intimate
friends that but slight hopes are entertained
of his ultimate recovery. Some time ago
change for the better having taken place
in his condition, he was, on medical advice,
allowed to return to his home and resume
his usual occupations; but his liberty
seemed only to have aggravated the pecul-
lar disease of which he is the victim
Scarcely had he set his foot on the boule-
Yards, when he indulged to such an ex-
tent in champagne and in different other in-
toxicating beverages, that he had to be car
ried to hospital, where be battled be-
tween life and death for several days.
When, however, be was able to live he
hired a cab and led bacchanalian life for
several days and nights, spending some
thousands of francs in the widest freaks
and orgies, until finally his friends had
again to interfere, and BE was again dis
patched TO Charenton, a greater lunatic
than ever. ellis madness is what French
medical men call foiie des oraadeurs. War
dens who are brought into daily commune
cation with the unfortunate artist assert
that he is constantly proclaiming himself
in his cell king of the Earth and EN-
peror of the Seas" He is fully convinced
that he has supreme powers over the uni
verse. and is very anxious In exacting
homage from friends who visit him. GiI's
insanity was due principally TO the over
dose OF fattery he had to swallow. He
found himself on giddy eminence that
turned his head, bringing about those &C.
centricities of character which afterwards
terminated so fatally. He was the lion
of caTicaturists in Paris. Political ce-
lebrities sought his acquaintance, and
were kindly disposed towards him
in order that his caricatures OF
themselves should be rather IA
vorable than otherwise. Actors and
actresses. literary men and publicists
throngsd around him and encouraged hi:
