The letter of ]. N. Hagar, the sAipbuilder
of Richmond, printed elsewhere, lets in some
more light Cd Mr.. Blaine's transactions in
Little Rock and Fort Smith bonds in Maine.
Mr.. Hagar agrees with Judge Hersey of Bel
fast, another gentleman who like Mr.. Hagar
invested in those securities on MI. Blaine's
representation, that Mr.. Blaines actions, in
that matter were not only honorable but
generous as well. 1t is doubtful, indeed it
is almost certain, that none of the Maine
gentlemen who subscribed for those bonds
had any legal claim upon Mr.. Blaine, yet
the latter without hesitation when the
d allied to pay its coupons took back the
bonds and refunded the holders the purchase
money. Mr.. Hagar is doubtless right in
saying that not one man in 100000 would
have done as Mr.. Blaine did.

The Stalwarts are apparently all in line and
heartily supporting the Republican ticket.
How many Independent Republicans there
are is uncertain, but 1t is generally admitted
that the most of them are to be found in
New York and Brooklyn. In the country
they sare as scarce as hens teeth, and re-
cent events tend to show that in those two
cities their number has been greatly over
estimated. The Brooklyn Young Mems
Republican Club, which was supposed to be
thoroughly tinctured with Independent-ism.
last week endorsed Blaine and Logan by a
large majority. 1t certainly looks now as if
the Independents in these two cities would
be far too few to counterbalance the Demo
cratic losses by reason of the detection
among the Irish and laboring men. The
hearty receptions rendered Mr.. Blaine at
every step of his progress through the State
shows that the Republicans in the country
are enthusiastic for the ticket, and that the
party will poll its full strength in November.
All the Republican leaders agree that the
outlook at present is most cheering, and that
the chances are largely in favor of the Re-
publican ticket.
The Portland daily press., 1884-09-29
The Outlook in New York.

Some attempt to break the force of the
enthusiastic reception given to Mr.. Blaine
in New York State was apparently thought
to be necessary by the Democratic managers
and SO the New York World in pursuance of
this object on Friday morning announced
that the electoral vote of the Empire State
was absolutely certain to be given to Cleve-
land. A positive declaration of this kind in
regard to the electoral vote of a State the
size of New York even on the day before
election would be extremely hazardous; a
month before election it is simply ridiculous.
Nobody at this time can foresee with abso-
late certainty what is to be the result of the
voting in New York State on the fourth of
November. TIE campaign in that State has
not yet begun in earnest, and will not until
after the Ohio election. Even if it were
known to which candidate the vote of the
State would be given if the election occurred
tomorrow, that would be no sufficient basis
for predicting that the State would vote the
same way month hence. But not even
so much is known.
The fact is New York is doubtful State.
At the present time neither party can claim
1t with certainty. The probabilities, how
ever, are in favor of Blaine Cleveland has
awakened very little enthusiasm among the
Democratic masses. There is no doubt
that his nomination aroused hostility among
the laboring men on account of his acts
while Governor, and that many of them who
have heretofore voted the Democratic ticket
will this year vote for Blaine and Logan.
There is no doubt also that there is serious
detection among the Irish, and that the old
boast of the Democracy that it owns the
Irish vote cannot be repeated after the
fourth of November KelIy's attitude also
is source of anxiety to Cleveland's friends.
for while he has publicly avowed his sup
port of the Democratic ticket he allows his
organ, the Star, to daily stab it 10 the back.
To offset this detection there is nothing but
the vote of the Independent Republicans.

The New York World undertook to cheer
up the respondent Democracy the other day
by declaring that the Empire State was sure
to give its electoral votes to Cleveland. I'm
fortunately Democratic papers have been so
reckless in their political assertions for the
last quarter of century that nobody takes
any stock in them. Every Democratic sandi-
date since Buchanan's day has been elected
by Democratic newspapers but not one of
them by the people.

The Democratic papers assert that the
contest in the Buckeye State is between the
officeholders on the one hand and the peo-
pie on the other; and in the next breath
they assert that if the oficeholders succeed,
and they evidently think they will, it will be
on account of an immense corruption fund.
That is rather rough on the peonle.

Mr.. Blaine's western tour still continues
to give the Democratic press a good deal of
anxiety. The enthusiasm with which he is
greeted in every town and hamlet is convinc
ing proof that their ISLANDERS have not pro-
dueed the effect they expected. Hence they
are unhappy.
