, emit campaign is to see lot Of chronic sore
head quasi Democrats rushing to the front
of the stage and passing as men of pro-
gressive ideas and declaring they are GO
ing to vote for Blaine, as if anybody
cared. Can it be that BIaine's private

The Ohio State Republican Committee,
having addressed an official letter to L.
M. Morrill,, deceased, of Maine, asking
for campaign contribution" his wife
sent the following reply:
| To BroUn, Chairman, Columbus, OHIO:
I am surprised and shocked to receive
such communication. l thought every
citizen of this country knew my husband
was at rest. [ am in mourning for him.
| but, as much as L mourn his death. |
| thank my Father in heaven that He called
| him home before the party he loved so
well and did so much for had so disgraced
| itself as to nominate SO wicked and cor
rupt man for the highest office within
| tho gift of the American people. as |
know and my husband knew James G..
| Blaine to be. If he were alive he would
not support such man, even at the bid
| ding of his party.
CHARLOTTE MORRILL,.
| The Democrats of the 1st Virginia Dis
trict have nominated Col. Thos. Croxton
of Essex for Congress. He is most
popular gentleman, and will carry his
district by large majority.
A prominent Democratic New York
leader sums up the political situa'
tion as follows: West Virginia and
Ohio are sure for Cleveland in October.
and we will carry New York, New Jer-
sey, Connecticut and the South. Kansas
will certainly add her electoral vote to
| the list, and Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa
| will probably do the same. The reports
from Oregon and Michigan are most
cheering, and last but not least, this State
will 60 for Cleveland by the largest ma
jority she has ever given for a president.
Butler will net get more than $4,000 votes
in this city and county and half as many
in Brooklyn and Kings county. and his
vote will not exceed 25 900 in the entire
State.
Hon. J. Randolph Tucker, who has just
returned from Washington, says that the
committee at Washington are full of hope
of Democratic success in November.
Hon. Samuel j. Randall will speak at
Roanoke, Va, October Sth.
Notwithstanding that Malone has taken
the ST imp for Brady, in the 4th district,
the Indications are that Brady will be left
at home, and that Evans. the colored can
didate, will represent that district in the
next House of Representatives. He will
be the first negro that has ever been sent
to Congress from Virginia.
The news now reaches us, that Elkins
has abandoned West Virginia as hopeless
ly Democratic, and will direct his atJen-
| ton to Ohio. Before October he will reach
| the same conclusion concerning that
| State.
| Arrangements are being made for ''Sun-
set Cox, of New York, and Ex-Governor
| Vance, of North Carolina, to canvass Vir-
ginia this fall for Cleveland and Hen
| bricks.
| The largest Democratic Club in Cincin-
natl, it is said, is composed of colored
men, and they are doing good work for
Cleveland and Hendricks. The colored
men Of the West have found out that the
Republican party keep the word Of prom
| Use to the ear. but break it to the hope.
It IS now said that Buffers candidate
| for Vice President will be stricken from
the ticket, and that Mr.. Hendricks will
| be substituted.
| A rumor from New York is to the
effect that Mr.. S. S. Cox will be the
Democratic candidate for Mayor of that
| city, getting the nomination of Tammany,
| Of which he is member, and also of the
regular Democracy, and thereby securing
I united Democratic vote in that city.
i, A gentleman of Wisconsin has authori-
zed the placing of $3.50 on the election
of Cleveland and Hendricks, so great is
the confidence OF the West that Cleveland
will get some Of the States that hereto
fore have been Republican strongholds.
The Tammany Hall Democrats having
met and determined to support Cleveland.
| the Washington Republican says:
"Tammany has been tardy in taking &C.
| ton upon the matter, but there has never
| been any very good reason to suppose Shat
Its formal course will be other than that
agreed upon. Its members are Democrats.
1t is Democratic organization. 1t could
not afford in Presidential election year
! to take any other course.7'
| This action of Tammany has united the
Democratic vote of New York for Cleve-
land and Hendricks. and with the thou
sands of Republicans who will not vote
| for Blaine on account of his corrupt pub
| lie record, New Y ork's electoral vote is
sure for the Democratic ticket.
| A prominent New York official visiting
! Washington yesterday, says he has been
campaigning IN the northern portion of
his State, and knows that the talk about
Democratic detection there Is nothing but
CANNON, and that Cleveland will carry
the State by perfect sweep About the
Maine election he says that in addition to
the $500, 900 which the National Republi-
can Committee spent in that State, Mr..
Blaine himself, on the Wednesday before
the election, gave $50 600, and if with all
that money his majority was less than half
of that given to Hayes, it will very likely
be overcome in November, when there
will be no more money to spend there and
when the Prohibitionists, now Disguised
with Blaine's lack of moral courage as
evinced by his lodging vote on Monday,
will not. as they were then, be united in
| his favor.
The Republicans, badly frightened, are
trying TO fluid ray Of hope in the result
in Maine Monday. When they put
100000 in pronounced Republican
State, in order to increase its majority,
