Murat Halstead, in a dispatch from New
York to the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette on
the political situation says: ''The average
New York men, if they attempt to go into the
political situation, say that tho results qucs-
ton of k~iokers-there arc republican md
democratic kickers, and something depends
upon the hardest kicking, its location and the
bearing thereof. The discoatcntel republicans
of New York appear more formidable when
viewed at q distance than closes at hand. Tho
five or six well known news papers arc against
Blaine, thouSh they would naturally take part
against the democratic party, make an impress
sion of public sentiment that is not justified.

fering for its pains, i'll business, with the ex-
cnption of the Evening Post, which has q pecu-
liarly solid constituency, and has been for
publication i'll the United States.
Ex-Auditor Gen. Mccarthy, of New York, q
local democratic leader who bolted Clcveland's
nomination, received Il personal letter from
Nh. Blaine thanking him for his Pledge ofsup-
port, Blaine's letter is as follows:
Augusta, Me-, July 14.-Io Edward Nc
Curthy-My. Dear Sir: Accept my sin
core thanks for your kind letter of
this informal acknowledgement iustnow. l
canno question the right OF any man or body
to vote as they elect, but I will say that l am
grateful to have found a new friend in
your beautiful city. With the best wishes be-
lieve me to be very truly yours,
Hon. Alvin Hawkins, ex-governor of Tennes-
see, says that if the Republicans will exert
themselves they can carry the state this fall.
In 1880, he says, the Republicans made q net
gain in Tennessee of $1,000 votes over former
elections, and the Democrats lost through the
.Greenbackers and Republicans about 23,UOO
votes. The Republican gains. he thinks, can
be so increased this time as to give them the
ELECTORAL vote OF this state.
Judge j. S. O'Connor, formerly Il resident of
Washington, and an officer of the old Irish
brigade during the Wal, writes as follows to a
friend here concerning the feeling among the
Irish voters of New York City, where the
judge has been in law business for some time
past:
Referring to the political situation, to u
lookeron it would appear that the backbone Of
the Democrat party hero is broken. The dis
affection among our people from the Democra-
tic anks1 IL something wonderful, and IL cause

to our own people. No matter where | turn
the success of Blaine and Logan is looked up
on as o foregono conclusion.
Themceting in Chickering hall New York of
tho Irish American Independents was q
thorough Blaine and Logan rally and must be
regarded as one of the most pronounced de-
monstrations, so far, of the Republican
campaign. Tho building was crowded to over
flowing, and the assemblase, which numbered
three thousand, enthusiastic as it was unani-
nous. Merchant, middlcman and laborer sat
by side, and applauled every sentiment of
the speakers, Rev. DR.. Pepper, of Wooster,
O., said they had come together to defeat the
candidate supported by the London times. He
land would be buried so deeply that the sound
Of Gabriol's trumpet would never reach linn.
Not one i'll ten Irislmen in Ohio would vote
for Cleveland. Catholics arc all opposed to
him. Ex-Judge Brennan of Sioux City, Iowa,
said he had come fourteen hundred miles to be
said for forty years because they. were Irish
they must vote the Democratic ticket. 1t was
now time to say they would vote the Republi-
can ticket for the same reason.
Among the more prominent callers at repub-
lican headquarters New York was Senator Sabin
of Minnesota. He has been for the past few
days making careful examination of the polit-
ical outlook in the Eastern states, and he said:
81 continue moro hopefulo of republican success
every day 1 live. If the election were to be
held I think Mr.. Blaines majority in New Iori
at least would be q surprise to his friends and
foes alike. TIL feeling of personal regard fol
him is certainly very wonderful, and the tor
rents of abuse which his enomies have poured

People, l think, are tired of this sort of cam
paigning. 1t is a method which has sadly out.
grown its usefulness.
Ex-Gov. Stone of Iowa says: In my walks
about New York city 1 find that there is no mis-
taking the drift of the ~workingmen towarl the
Republican party. I stop in crowds to be a
silent listener to their talks among themselves.
1t is all in our favor, distinct, unmlstakable,
pronounced. They have onlyto be well organ
lied to make the greatest force ever known il
politics. They are enthusiastic too.
Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, says;
1 intend to vote the Republican presidential
ticket. A man cannot act both without and
within the party; he can do either, but he can
not possibly do both. l went in with.my eyes
open to do what I could within the party; ]
did my best to get beaten, and l propose t.
stand by the result.
Mr.. MCPHERSON, secretary of tho Republican
campaign committee, says he is much pleased
with the political outlook in New York. The
detection among w%orkingmen, he says ii
simply bewildering to tho Democratic party
He had q talk with Frank Hiscock at tho
Republican headquarters at New York just
before his departure and Hiscock told him tina,
the Democrats in the western part of the state
were confused and disheartencd, and that il
tho election could be held now Cleveland woult
be buried under a Republican majority of 75,-
