A Fresh Democratic Forgerz.

A despatch to the Boston Advertiser of
yesterday announced that the Democrats
were preparing to circulate in Ohio letter
alleged to have been written by Gen. Neal
Dow to a friend in Philadelphia, in which it
was alleged that Mr.. Blaine had stated to
Gen. Dow that he refrained from voting on
the prohibitory amendment at the request of
prominent Ohio politicians, son account of
the bigoted Germans" Gen. Dow on being
shown the letter yesterday pronounced it
forgery, and the statement that Mr.. Blaine
had made any such remark to him as alleged
he declared to be Gan unmitigated lie."
This is the second Democratic forgery of the
campaign, the first being an alleged letter
from Gen. Raum threatening department
clerks unless they contributed to the Repub-
can campaign fund. Yet the Democrats tell
us that this is ''reform' campaign and
that they are laboring to ''purify the poll
tics of the country" This last forgery was
a very stupid one; but it serves to make one
thing clear, that they have no hope of sue
cess in Ohio by honorable means.

The Louisville Courier-Journal still con-
tlnues to lend only deaf ear to the piteous
appeals of its Democratic contemporaries to
drop the tariff issue. 1t keeps iterating
day after day in its columns that "men who
favor continuance of protection will vote
for Butler or for Blaine,'' and that "the only
hope of electing Mr.. Cleveland is in getting
for him the votes of those who favor reve-
nue. REFORM" "The tariff issue" it says
"ought to be put to the front, and the fight
made on the line laid down by Mr.. Morri

Ever since the camnaion bocnr tho De

Ever since the campaign begun the Demo-
cratic and Independent press have been pub
fishing what purported to be letter from
Senator Edmunds, in which the Senator was
represented as saying, in speaking of legisla-
tisn in regard TO the Union Pacific railroad,
that Mr.. Blaine acted as attorney for Jay
Gould. Senator Edmunds declares that he
never wrote or said any such thing, and fur
thermore that no such thought ever entered
his head. As the Independent press pro-
fesses great respect for Mr., Edmunds it may
not be too much to expect that they will be-
lieve his statement and withdraw the charge
they have been making against Mr.. Blaine.
That the Democratic press will withdraw
charge simply because it has been shown to
be false is of course too much to expect.

Gen. Daniel F. Burke of New York tells
the New York Mail and Express that large
number of Irish American voters who in
tend to vote for Blaine and Logan have
made no declaration of that intention in or
der to avoid bounding by the Democrats
which would be certain to follow. He be-
lieves that ten Irish-Americans who have
been Democrats will vote for Blaine for
every Republican who will vote for Cleve-
land

The Democrats find Blaine's speeches on
his Western trip, stale, fat and improbable.
at the same time they profess to see in
Cleveland's recent letter, in which he de-

craftsmanship.

The Wisconsin brewers, as the price of their
support, have recently compelled the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor to write letter
denouncing prohibition. And now it is an
nounced that the Ohio brewers are combin-
ing to support the Democratic ticket. What
they are to receive in return is not definitely
known, but that they are to receive some
thing is beyond question. Thus the rum
element all over the West is combining to
assist the Democracy into power. By voting
for St. John the Prohibitionists simply
play into the rumsellers' hands.

1t having been stated that the Hon. Neal
Dow, of Maine, who was candidate for
the Presidency on the Probation ticket
four years ago, would refuse to support the
National Prohibition nominations this year,
and work for the success of the Republican
ticket, Russell j. Hazlet, of this city, who,
is the Grand Worthy Secretary of the ILL.,
nois Good Templars Grand Lodge, wrote to-
him for his views on the question of third
party. The following reply was received
this afternoon:
PORTLAND, Me-, June %, 1884.
r. J. Hazlett, Grand Worthy Secretary, Good
Templars, FreepOrt, ILL.,.
DEAR SIR: Your note of the oath is re-
ceived. The newspaper slip you send me
correctly reports my views rs to the wise
action OF the temperance men of Maine,
Kansas and Iowa. The Republican party in
those States has steadily favored prohibi-
ton and has afforded the people an oppor-
tunity to put their will as to the liquor traffic
into the constitution. / think it is
for the interest of the temperance
cause to show the country that the
party has lost nothing in those States by
such action. As to Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsyl-
vania New York, New Jersey, Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut,
the temperance men owe the Republican
party nothing, and il has no just claim
whatever on them for help in any election
You ask me if it is really true that hook
on the third purity action with disfavor. So
far from that, am sure We can never win
in any other way. The sooner we come to
that the sooner we shall accomplish our
purpose. Respectfully. NEAL Dow.
