i stump and did royal service. Both
are natural orators of the period

Toledo contributed very largely to the
defeat of Frank Hurd. These men,
with others whom did not person

erS."
You attribute the close vote in New
York. then, Mr.. Blaine, solely to the
action of the indep, ndents and the
prohibitionists?
No, not solely, replied Blaine. Ac-
cording to numerous letters l have re-
ceiVed from central and Western New
York, it would seem that the rainy
day lessened the republican vote. The
democratic majorities lie in the cities,
where, by few minutes on good
pavement, man reaches his polling
place. The republican maiorities are
in the country, where large number
live three, four, or even five miles
from the polling place, which,
on election day, had to be
reached over muddy roads and
rain-storm. Had the day been
fine, the republican majorities in the
rural counties would have been in
creased, one good judge writes me by
probably 10000, but all agree by from
1000 to 5000. The actual difference be-
tween the two parties in the final
count, whichever way it goes, will
perhaps not exceed 1000 about one
twelfth of l per cent of the total vote,
or one vote in every 1900 for the en-
tire State. So if the democrats real
ly carried New York by this small |
margin, as the latest news indicates,
you see how easy a fair day might |
have reversed the result. But great |
political battles, like military battles, |
are often lost or won by an apparently |
trivial incident or accident which no |
human foresight can guard against.
Mr.. Blaine turned homeward at this |
point. He seemed to be in perfect |
health, and. as far as any one could |
judge, in the best of spirits. He told |
me that his long tour of forty-two |
days on the stump had not in the least |
fatigued him,

Rumored Revolution = Correspondents
Hauled Over the Goals.
LAREDO, November 1S.-RumorS of
a revolution in Mexico have been pre-
valent here for several days, but upon
careful inquiry only prove vague. 1t
is not improbable that something of
more than ordinary Importance is
brewing in the Aztec Republic as your
cores pondent accidentally "caught
on" to the fact that several of the "big
gus" over here have got their heads
very close together, and considerable
hobnobbing is taking place. Cipher
correspondence is being engaged in
extensively, and mode of its
transmission indicates that the
greatest caution is being used
to prevent any of the govern
ment officials ever getting an inkling
of its nature. 1t has been quite a
long time since general insurrection
has taken place in Mexico, and it is
possible that there is quite number
of "pap-seekers" over there who have
become tired of waiting for some OF
the confectionery which is withheld
from them and propose to instigate
measures to help themselves or cause
liberal supply to be forthcoming.
At all events the plans, if any, for a
revolution are only in thsir incipi-
ency and until further developments
all statements regarding the same can
only be conjectural. The present
movement seems to be confined to the
state of Coahuila.
The Times of the 10Th contains a
slight attack on the correspondents at
this place for stating the democrats
beat the reformers at the late election
1t seems that no regular convention
was held here for the nomination of a
democratic ticket, and the Times
claims that as the ticket put forth as
the democratic ticket had the name OF
a republican thereon it was not a
democratic ticket. The question arises
to the general public as to what the
democrats of Laredo are made of?
