WHERE THE BUSINESS MEN
STAN ID.

Mr.. Blaine not only wrote strong
Kuow.Nothing Anti.Irish editorials and
advocated the making it q felony to
manufacture. sell or drink spirits. wine
or beer, but he also in a burst of inspira.
ton wrote to Charles Emory Smith, at
Pittsburg. in 1876. speaking Of the Cam.
srons and their Scotch ancestry and how
much better the country would be of
without them. With the Irish, Ger.
mans and Scotch against him in self.de-
Tense, the brewers against him ON bust.
ness principles, and the native American
Democracy opposed in the public inter.
est, Mr.. Blaine's election is more than
ever pr~oblematical. The detection OF
De Witt Seligman, whose letter is pub.

committee and saying that he by no
means renowned his Republicanism, but
would vote the whole ticket next No.
vember with the sole exception OF sub.

Blaine is the direst blow they have yet
received. and they are stabbed in the
house of their friends.
The action Of the junior Seligman
means that Chester A. Arthur and the
better class of Republicans whom he rep
resented SO long in New York politics
have lost their hold, or, more likely.

Bile FOR BLAINE.


Conceding the Empire State to Cieve
land, the Republicans are able to hgurt
out = majority of two electoral votes iol
Blaine. But in order to do this, they
are compelled to sieze the Is votes of In
diana, where the chances are more thai
ten to one in favor OF the Democracy
and to put down as undoubtedly Repub-
lican the doubtful States of Connecticut,
Ohio and California with their aggregate
of 81 electoral votes.
The chances of democratic success in
Indiana were strong enough before the
nomination of Mr.. Hendricks TO amount
to almost a positive certainty. That
nomination is generally regarded as hav-
ing removed the last vestige OF doubt.
The Republican party has never sue
ceeded in carrying Indiana without the
hearty support Of its large German con-
tingent. Mr.. Blaine's Prohibition record
sfectuaIly shuts out that support. The
candidate who is . good enough Prohi-
bitionist to satisfy Neal Dow, and who
is now supporting . prohibition amend
ment in his own State, cannot get the
liberal German vote which has given the
Republican party all the victories it has
ever won in Indiana. Then, too. there
are q few Republicans in every township
in Indiana who will vote for st. John,
because the Republican party declined
to put 3 Prohibition plank in its plat
form, and because both Blaine and Logan
are in favor Of continuing the liquor
taxes as a ~permanency, the proceeds to
be used for State purposes.
We do not very confidently expect
a Democratic victory in Ohio this
year, but such an occurrence would not
surprise any w~ell-informed politician Of
either party-no. even Mr.. Blaine or
Chairman Jones. The indications are
that the German revolt OF 1882 and 1883
is still q substantial fact Of the situation.
The temperance question is kept alive by
hundreds Of suits in she courts, and the
same causes that are operating in Indiana
are demoralizing and disheartening the
Ohio Republicans. Until the votes are
counted in October the % electoral votes
OF Ohio will not be eliminated from the
doubtful" list. And ever then there
may be q well-founded doubt of the No
vember result. The Republican State
ticket is much stronger than DIR. Blaine,
and he will very likely lose the State in
November if his party does not roll up a
0,0O0 majority in October.
It is not only the liberal German Re-
publicans in Connecticut bu. a formid-
able array OF the best native American
Republicans who are opposing Blaine and
will vote for Cleveland. As the case
stands to-day, the Democratic out look
is good. 1t is SO good, in fact, that the
probabilities are strongly ON the Demo
cratic side. Much of the learning, wealth
and social influence of that State has
changed sides in the pending canvass,
and the change is all in one direction.
inuring entirely to the advantage Of the
Democracy.
The attempt to figure out a Republi-
can victory without New York is q sad
failure. On the other hand, the chances
are that the Democrats might spare New
York-which they do not by any means
expect to-and still have a majority Of
the electoral votes.
