package OF Boston Journals containing
the details OF the "Cleveland scandal" !"
which suppose you expect me, ss Re-
publican town COMMITTEES, to distribute.
The aforesaid package is at my Office SUBJ

as town committee or otherwise, to assist
in political warfare so mean and con.
temptible. II, after the nomination OF
James G Blaine, anything we're wanting
to disgust Massachusetts Republicans
who are not offlce-holders. Office seekers
or blind partisans with the present meth
ods, tendencies and leadership of the
party, the detestable business 10 which
your committee is now engaged should
supply the want. II the "grand old
party" can not be saved from defeat
without resorting to methods corrupting
to the morals ss we'll as the politics OF
the country. the question whether It IL

Gould and Blaine.
N. Y. Herald.

The relations of those two worthless
evidently continue to be intimate. When
Mr.. Blaine was nominated MIR. Gould
was reported in the papers as expi essing
himself perfectly satisfied with the
nomination. Blaine is live man and
will be a live President. There is moth
ing dead about him. He is abreast OF the
times and never allows himself to fall
behind single step. Arthur has done
very we'll in the Office, and worse candi.
dates might be selected; but Blaine is
the man for the place."
On Wednesday last Mr.. Gould resign.
ed the presidency OF Wabash Railroad
Company and put into the place Mr.. J
Joy, formerly of the Michigan Central
Railroad Company. Mr.. Joy is the in
innate friend of Mr.. Blaine and nomina
ted him at Chicago in 1880.
So it's all in the family.

LONDON, August % The Pail NAL
Gazette this afternoon says: China will
not issue declaration Of war, but will in.
form France and the neutral powers that
she will regard repetition Of the Keeling
incident or an attack on Chinese territory
as ipso facto, declaration of war. China
will ask other powers and especially
England to be strictly neutral. China
expects that in case French attack is
renewed the English colonists will be
warned of their duties as neutral. 1t is
quite certain the Chinese will immedi-
ately cross the southern frontier and in.
wade Topquin.

warning: "When buying fruit cans, see
that they are not made out OF roofing

made OF bright tin, which is harmless,

Mr.. Blaine,s Imported Labor.

From Labor Interview in the Pittsburg Post
We have abundant evidence Of how
Mr.. Blaine feels towards rs here. He is
one of the heaviest stockholders in the
coal and ore mines in Elk Garden, W.
Va, and within the past two years the
company has imported the majority OF
their laborers. and their mines to-day
are filed with foreigners, principally
Italians. This is the policy in which we
are interested, and if Mr. Blaine expects
to get the labor vote Of this country be
must do better than employ foreign tai
ent in the works in which be is interes
ted.
