SECOND Days PROCEEDINGS.
TorEkA, Aug. e1LThe following res

republican IN L0lS GOnVenJlOO, anu ne
proceeded TO file vigorous protest
against the proceedings, FROM which we
copy:
First The members Of the convcn-
ton are Republicans They feel and
ought to feel just pride in the glorious
history of their party, history which
has been made glorious by steady, con-
slant and uuremiiting warfare upon the
Democratic patty. Iu whatever re-
spect the Republican party may be en-
titled to praise for Its course on the
great questions of the last twenty five
years, the Democratic party Is equally
entitled TO condemnation.
g The question of resubmissloa Is one
which belongs to the legislature and not
to the governor or state officers. A vote
upon the question can only lie ordered
by the state legislature. The Republican
parry has shown itself in the past able to
deal with all questions of public interest
intelIigently aud successfully. Every
member of the convention must know
that the Democrats OF the state are look
ing with longing eyes TO split In the
Republican party, not because they are
solicitous for the public welfare but be-
cause they are consumed with desire
to capture the Officers. They hail with
equal enthusiasm the detection of st
John and the prospective detection of the
resubmIssiOnists- In any alliance which
we make with them, they haYe eVreY-
thing 70 gain. We, the Republicans,
everything TO lose.
3, The Republicans OF Kansas have
haiIed with the greatest enthusiasm the
nomination of Blaine and Logan The
Democrats, with their usual disregard OF
principle, which is but another name for
laundering, have made themselves con-
spicuously ridiculous before the Ameri-
can people by nominating as their can
didate an obscure and unknown iDdivid-
ual whose record, brief as it Is, stamps
him as the enemy OF the p' ope. tue
weak and willing tool OF monopoly, In
short q 1T representative of the party
which placed him In nomination. An
alliance between the Republicans of this
convention and the Democrats would
encourage the supporters OF Cleveland,
and faint Us with sumo of the disgTaces

people.

A FRENCH OPINION OF BLAINE


General Batcheller (Iate Chief Justice
of the International Tribunal of Egypt,
at Cairo, said: "On the 4th of July
last | was in Paris, on my way home for
my vacation visit. The presentation of
the Bartholdi statute to our Government
was the event Of the day to us Americans
who were there and in connection with it
Minister Morton, after receiving the stat
ute, gave dinner and reception in honor
OF the event, at which | was a guest,
and at which | met the most eminent
members of the French administration,
and prominent representatives of the
English and other leading governments
as well. [ enjoyed an after dinner con-
versation upon American institutions
with nj. Brlsson, President of the French
Chamber of Deputies, the regular sue
cessor of Gambetta and the only rival OF
Jules Ferry, present Prime Minister, for
the future Presidency of the French Re-
public The then recent Republican
nominations at Chicago gave a piquant
interest 10 the subject of our National
politics, and in the course of conversation
Monsieur BrissOn said: i am very glad
that the American people have at last
selected one of its greatest statesmen,
(hommes d'etat) as a candidate for the
Presidency. Hitherto, if I have rightly
understood American politics, parties
have usually selected their candidates
rather on account of their negative
qualities than for their established states
manship.' | then asked him if he knew
Mr.. Blaine. He said: i never had the
honor of meeting him, not having been
in America; but l feel acquainted with
him, having had occasion in my character
as legislator, especially as we have been
lately engaged in remodeling our con-
s.itution, to study the history of the
American Republic; and that has Deces-
sarily included the history of your public
men. | feel acquainted with Hamilton,
Jefferson, Calhoun, Seward, and Webster,
and, of course, 1 need not say with
Washington, Franklin, and Lincoln; and
I consider Mr. Blaine as ranking with
these men. Perhaps my predictions are
more favorable because be was so long
Speaker of your Congress, and 1 Occu-
pying the same position in my govern
ment. And, of course, his name became
familiar to every one during the agony OF
Presiuent Garfield While French
statesmen and French newspapers are
not hostile to the triumph of the Repub-
lican party, the reverse is true in regard
to England. In a conversation on the
sane occasion with an eminent English
diplomat whom | had met in Cairo, and
whose name do not feel at liberty to
use, he admitted to me that be considered
/ Mr.. Blaine one of the most, if not the
most, able of our public men, But, he
added, if may be allowed to use the
expression, he is too intensely American
to be made President of your great Re
public. He is not yet educated up tc
the standard of commercial liberty, OF
what we call free trade "-BufalC

The Milwaukee Germania of Sept. 2!

says concerning our state officers:
1t is refreshing during the present
campaign to see the unanimity shown by
the people of our state for the reelection
of our present state officers. Even the
democratic press, in regard to our state
ticket is:respeciful and decent And so we
see, during the hot and sometimes even
dlscreditable national campaign, that the
ship Of our state officers enters, with full
sail and fair wind, the harbor of re cleo
ton. And whom have we to thank for
this? In the first place, ii is due those
sturdy, honest men who have administer
ed for the last three years the affairs of
our state, without even as much as a
shadow of dissatisfaction. We citizens
of the state of Wisconsin have right to
be proud Of our state administration.
Each department rests in the very best
hands Look first at our Governor Rusk:
He is a man in the fullest sense of the
word, from the top of his head to the
bottom of his feet (and with him there is
considerable distance between those ex-
tremes). Then there is our Secretary of
State Tlmme, vino every time has shown
himself true ond steadfast, like the oaks
of his native land-a man who is to-day
looked upon as the ideal of German
American citizen, and so respected.
There is our State Treasurer McF Fetridge:
A business man full Of vim and vigor,
conscientious and strict, amiable with all,
and beloved by everybody who has the
good fortune TO know him, and respected
and honored by his political opponents.
Need we especially name the learned
Attorney General Frisby, or State Super
intendent Graham, one of the best and
most practical educators in the land, who
at the last election was endorsed and
voted fer by all parties in the state
Within our state everybody knows them
and respects them for their sagaclty and
strict application to their duties The
same must be said of our Railroad Com
missioner Haugen. and of p. L. Spooner,
Jr., our insurance commissioner.
To these men we are indebted for the
excellent state of affairs in our state
government. We have no debts but
have 100000 in the general fund, so
that we-if the next state Legislature
does not appropriate extraordinary sums
of money, for which there seems no
occasion-need not levy state tax at ali.
This is a state of affairs upon which
weather. states even look with envy, and
for this we ought to expsess our ackno~-
Judgement and thanks, without making
much fuss about it-simply by leaving
them at the head of their respective |
departments in the state government for
the next two years May we fight and
dispute about our national ticket, may
we argue about free trade and tariff as
much as we please; our state officers we
simply re-elect. That is undoubtedly
public opinion in Wisconsin, and SO the
people will decide in November next. /

CLEVELAND AND MARIA HALPIN.

The Journal tomorrow will print the
following special from Logansport, which
it took the trouble to verify by telegraph:
Mr.. Simon Talbot, a travelling man in
the employ of Henry Arthur & Co.,
wholesale leather dealers in New York,
is in this city, and being approached on
the subject of New York politics said:
Yes, | know Cleveland, perhaps, bet
ter.than any man living Maria Halpin
is my sister-in law The story told in
the newspapers is literally true, and the
half has not been told. Grover Cleveland
did seduce my sister-in-law, under a pos
tive promise of marriage, while she was
living liz Buffalo. This | know to be
true, and Cleveland afterward paid the
$500 to me for Maria Halpin, when legal
proceedings were about to Instituted
against him. Cleveland now has posses
sion of the child Soon after the pub
lication of this matter, and about SIX
weeks ago, Cleveland wrote me letter
urging me to make a statement showing
that he had always treated Mrs. Halpln
WE'LL and promised me anything L could
wish in case he was elected. A friend OF
his, prominent judge in New York,
also came to me and wanted a similar
statement. refused to make such a
statement, ard Mrs Halpin said she
would die before she would make state
meHt for him. He also stated in the let
ter that the published statements IN the
press that two other men were intimate
with Mrs. Hal pin were wholly unauthor-
lied by him, and were not true, and that
in the event of making the required
statement he would have that corrected.
After Mrs Halpin's trouble we learned
that Cleveland was a notorious llbertine,
and kept regular harem in Buffalo

The Logansport Journal Of yesterday
reporting a talk with Mr. Talbot, says
maria is now living at small town IL
New York state, and will continue t
remain away from the eyes of the public
until after the campaign. Mr.. Talbot
undoubtedly has it in his power to place
the scandal before the public with mum
ber of variations, but he stu obornl,
refuses to do it.-Indianapolis special
