BATAVIA, N. Y, Sept. lat, 1884,
MIR. A. II. MCCADDEN-Dear Sir.

cd from the quiet and rural life TO one
OF the seethlng political fields. l scarce
ever heard the name OF Cleveland mem
toned In Fulton, while here II is In the
mouth OF even the youngest school boy.

least 1000 or 5000 sitting along the
canal. docks, and different railroad
crossings OF the city. | had In the af-
ternoon q conversation with thirteen
different persons of the laboring class,
and they were with two exceptions
Cleveland men, three OF them being re-

publlcans that the Irish are In favor OF
Blaine, they tell me, 10 gross misrep-
