IT is expected that Mr. Blaine will visit Chica-
go before he returns to Maine, and already prep
arations are being made to accord him hearty
reception.
"GATH, in letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer
gays "Carl Schurz has used the Germans of
the United States as if they were copper or brass
COINS and with them he has bought remarkable
honors in this country
WASHINGTON Critic: They're not letting the
''blanked Irish gon as much as they were, the
Democrats amt. No, indeed. They are even
putting salt and sugar on Pats shirt-tail to keep
him from going. But he goes all the same.
DURINe Mr.. Blaines recent visit to New York
he lost his hat in the great crowd and the excite
ment occasioned thereby. Mr.. G. E. fuller now
offers $25 for the recovery of the hat the money
to be paid to the chairman of the finance com
mittee of New York and to be applied for the
advancement of Mr. Blaine's candidacy for Pres

THE New York Star is authority for the state
ment that Ex-Governor Seymour has consented
to 60 to Ohio and speak for Cleveland It was
considered that something had to be done to
offset the Western tour of Mr.. Blaine, and it was
only after great persuasion that the aged and
distinguished Democrat yielded to the wishes
of his friends.
NEW YORK Sun: The defeat of Grover Cleve-
land is the most important service that can now
be rendered to the Democracy The election Of
Grover Cleveland would be the greatest injury
that the Democracy could now be called upon to
endure Fortunately, it is now probable that
the service will be efficiently rendered and the
injury prevented.
THE Democratic managers claim that Mr. Til
denis silence concerning the campaign is soon to
be broken. The Sage is said to be busy prepar.
ing his address in response to the committee
from the national convention, task which a
severe illness that overlook him five weeks ago
has heretofore prevented It is supposed the
document will not be written in cipher.
PHILADELPHIA Press: Mr.. Blaine long ago
won the popular heart, and his presence is so
inspiring that men respond to its influence at
once. Wherever he may choose to go he will
proceed as in a triumphal procession, the peo-
pie everywhere delighting to do him honor. In
his presence even party lines are forgotten. and
the voice of detraction for the moment is
hushed.
NEW YORK Sun: For once Henry Ward
Beecher is entirely right When Blaine was
nominated people said Beecher ought to support
him because they are both tattooed men; yet
Beecher went for Cleveland. But now it turns
out that Cleveland is worse tattooed than Blaine
and with Beecher's own kind of tattooing The
Plymouth preacher is logical in supporting
Cleveland
q. D. CUNNINGHAM, the veteran correspond
ent Of the New York Evening Post, has been
given vacation till after election. because.
when sent to find the independent voter in the
interior Of the State he could not report him as
found in large numbers when he had no exist
ence whatever. Mr. Cunningham was too con-
scientious to report the situation falsely even to
please the Post, which has become a rsbid Cleye-
land organ. Someone else with less scruples
than Mr.. Cunningham will be sent by the Post
through the State to figure up the size of the in
dependent vote.

speech, said: II have now for thirty years occu-

SENATOR INGALLS,, in speech at Parsons
Kan, said; don't know anything about the
stories that have been told with regard to M.
Grover Cleveand's history, and am NOT nre

more or less fit for the discharge of the execl-
