the political situation says: 1.-The average
New York men, if they attempt to go into the
political situation, say that the result is ques-

democratic kickers, and something depends
upon the hardest kicking, its location and the
bearing thereof The discontinued republicans

JAMES G. BLAINE,
Hon. Alvin Hawkins, ex- ex-governor ofTennes-
see, says that if the Republicans will exert
themselves they can carry the state this fall
In 1880, he says, the Republicans made net
gain in Tennessee of Is, 600 votes over former

Greenbackers and Republicans about 23,OUO
votes The Republican gains he thinks, can
be so increased this time as to give them the
ELECTORAL vote of this state

Washington, and an officer of the old Irish

Themeeting in Chickering hall New York OF
the Irish American Independents was

regarded as one of the most pronounced de-
monstrations, so far, of the Republican
campaign. The building was crowded to over
