POLITICAL NOTES.

Blaine made an address at Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, last Saturday.
The New York World thinks that St.
John will get 10000 votes in New York,
mainly from the Republicans.
The usually humorous Mark Twain is
quite serious when he'says that his "opin-
ion of Mr.. Blaine is attributable entirely
to the Republican press" which seems to
him to say that "Mr. Blaine is not a proper
person to be President"
- Illinois Democrats say they do not eX-
pect to carry the electoral vote of that State
for Cleveland, but they have high hopes of
electing majority ofthe Legislature, which
will choose successor in the United States
Senate to Senator Logan.
A Cincinnati paper states that the num-
Der of Deputy Marshals in the service of the
Republicans in that city, on the occasion of
the recent election, was about 5000, and
that two thirds of them were ignorant and
brutal negroes remarkable for their utter
depravity. Not one-fourth of these Depu-
ty Marshals, it says, were able to read or
write, and a very large proportion of them
were not citizens of the State, but came
from over the Ohio river.
In recent interview with John Kelly,
that New York politician said: "Cleveland
will be the next President beyond a doubt.
Blaine is already defeated. The Ohio elec-
ton was a dismal failure for the Republi-
cans, and now they are out with begging
letter from the National Committee asking
for funds with which to carry Indiana and
New York. They need not waste money
in New York, for twill do no good"
The Tammany Democracy had grand
Cleveland and Hendricks ratification meet
ing in New York on Tuesday night of last
week. The hall was packed to suffocation.
There were stands for speakers erected at
several points on Fourteenth and Fifteenth
streets, and at Irvington Place, where i'm
mense crowds were addressed by prominent
speakers. A torchlight procession of 10000
men paraded the streets, and kept up con-
tinuous cheer. Among the speakers were
Resolutions were unanimously adopted en-
dorsing Cleveland and Hendricks, and
pledging the hearty support of Tammany.
A New York letter to the Cincinnati
Enquirer says: "It seems now probable that
all attempts to carry the Southern States
will be abandoned. Evidence accumulates
that if West Virginia had been let alone the
Democratic ma jority in some places might
have been wiped out. The issues in West
VIRGINIA are now seen to have been chiefly
local and State, and consequently Mr..
Blaine's visit to that State only awakened
the latent Democratic patriotism. The Re-
publicans of West Virginia were absurdly
confident, even in the places where they ac-
complished the least. The Louisiana Re-
publicans and their allies have been refused
any more money in New York. About
$4,000 had been given them and they came
here wanting more. After West Virginia
they were told definitely that they could
have nothing more"
At Greencastle, Indiana, last Friday, eX-
Governor Hendricks addressed an audience
of 10000 persons. In his speech he discuss
ed the tariff, arguing that duties should be
levied only for the purpose of defraying the
expenses of the Government. He said Mr..
Cleveland receives support from the best
elements of the Republican party, including
ministers, scientists, college professors, stu
dents, editors and laborers. He emphasiz-
ed the fact that the Democrats looked for
strong support from the Independent Re-
publicans. In closing, he euloglzed the
Democratic party, saying it espoused the
cause of the weak against the strong, of the
poor man against the rich, of the oppressed
against the Oppressor. He also paid tri--
butte to Mr.. Lincoln, saying he was the best
Republican President ever elected. His
speech was frequently interrupted by ap-
plause.
