TWO exceptions, they are Tor Blaine, and
have organized a large and aggressive
Blaine and Logan club at Ivesdale, their
trading point. Such a complete revolution
of the political sentiment of a community
has never before been known in this
country.
La Crosse Republican Cleveland, in his
address, thinks one term in the Presidency
would be enough for him. The people of
the United States, by large majority,
think it would be one term too many, and
they will relieve Mr.. Cleveland's appre-
tensions lest he should remain too long in
the White House, by taking care that he
never gets there.
Corporal Tanner, of Brooklyn: Il have
just returned from trip of 1000 miles in
the West, attending the Grand Army en-
campment, and from my close observation
l sum up the political situation in the
statement that the feeling in favor of
Blaine and Logan is simply phenomenal.
There never was such enthusiasm so early
| in the canvass for President.

arraignment of Messrs. Manning, Whitney,
1 Weed, Scott and Chairman Barnum for in
activity in the campaign, winding up with

A Springfield, Ill, special to the Chicago
! Inter- Ocean saws: "Thcre are ten large
| Republican clubs in this city, all hand
somely equipped with uniforms and lamps
| The German Republican Club consists of
565 members. The Irish Republican Club
! has nearly 400 members, all of whom but
! twenty have noted the Democratic ticket
| heretofore The Portuguese Club has 800
! members The remaining clubs are ward
organizations, and each body numbers up
| in the hundreds. Old time Republicans
say they have not witnessed such mani
festation of zeal since the campaign of

Chicago Journal The face of labor is set
in the opposite direction from Mr.. Cleve-
land, and it will not be turned his way in
answer to his cry for help. Beyond the
paragraphs devoted to this topic, the letter
| is absolutely without significance. 1t takes
no sides on any question of public policy.
| 1t is a coarse-grained, inartistic production
in its literary features, is schoolbOylsh IN
its superficial and commonplace ideas, and
is merely read because it is short has been
long delayed, and from curiosity to see
what new evidence of its unfitness and
stupidity the Democratic party might, in
the person of its candidate, offer to the
voters of the country.
New York correspondence: Last night
Twas the witness of q wager of 5000 to
500 that Blaine would carry New York,
and the backer of Blaine at these odds was
lifelong Democrat Outside of New York
city Republican disatfection is spasmOdic
Democratic disaffection is general. In
nearly every assembly district in this city
there is an organization of Blaine Demo-
Gratis, generally laboring men, and the same
is true of nearly every populous county In
the State. From everywhere comes the
same story of Democratic secessions ust
in proportion to the dissemination of the
story of Cleveland's real character and the
removal of false impressions as to Mr.
Blane's policy and purpose.
A short time ago the Wheeling Register,
the Democratic organ of West Virginia,
published dOuble-leaded dispatch claim
ing Republicans were cOlOnizing negroes IN
the State by the carload. Much proml-
nence was given the matter Congressman
Gibson in an interview on the subject in
Washington talked of blood and DEATH"
The Register of the 22d says: Some
days ago a gentleman dispatched the Reg
lister that two carloads of negroes had been
brought into West Virginia to be cOlonized
for voting purposes. He asked on behalf
of the Democratic committee of his county
that we print the dispatch. The story, OF
which this paper was the innocent victim,
is going the rounds of the press. Even
Congressman Gibson predicts terrible
state of affairs if these mystic negroes at
tempt to vote. The story is exploded. No
negroes have been brought into the State
by Republicans. We advise our friends to
calm themselves.
New York Star, 21st: The Independent
Republican County Committee, which was
in existence last year, held meeting at
Lyric Hall last night. Two hundred men
were present John d. Ottiwell presided.
He said he had canvassed nearly all the
districts in the city, and he had found no
Republicans who were unwilling to indOrse
the nomination of Blaine and Logan. The
sO-called Independents consisting OF Carl
Schurz, George William Curtis and their
constituents, amounted to nothing. He
predicted that Blaine and Logan would be
elected by an overwhelming majority. w.
B. Oakley, secretary of the committee, Of
fered resolutions indorsing the nomination
of Blaine and Logan, which were unani-
mously adopted VIM. Whalleran was then
introduced as the war horse" of the Six
teenth district. He characterized George
William Curtis as a traitor, and was loudly
applauded. Peter Stuyvesant said that
Carl Schurz's speech in Brooklyn was sim
ply the wall of chronic Office-hOlder.
Several other speeches were made to the
same effect A resolution was offered that
the committee organize as the Republican
Central Union; call in the old Republicans
who were about at the birth of the party
to act as counselOrs, and bring in the young
men for action. The resolution was adopt

THE good old days are gone when the
southern blacks and the northern Irish
served their Democratic masters with
equal facility and profit. With evident
alarm the Democratic leaders are witness
ing the signs of independent action among
their Irish allies. Men who have left home
because British free trade has destroyed
manufactures in Ireland will not long or
