Blaine does not contradict the impTes-
sion that in the event Of his electloh Als
administration viii pursue pollcy lnai
will tend 10 embr0il the country II a "aI
with ENGLAND. This impression was
created in the beginning OF the campaign
BY Blaine's managers with the Lope u
catching a part OF the ITish-AmericanF ote'
Whether this impression has any founda-
ton in truth Is matter Of considerable I'M
portance. If il has no foundation Blaine
is unjust to the Irish-American voters IN
allowing it to remain uncOutradicted. II
II has some foundation, and il the fact
can be shown. Blaine will be certain to
be defeated.
The business men Of the country are
beginning 70 wonder if Blame is a safe
man 70 De placed al the head Of the gov
eminent. II they could satisfy them
selves that be contemplates pursuing an
aggressive policy towards England, Il
elected, with the hope Of bringing about
hostiIities between the two countries,
they would use their utmost efforts 10
defeat him. They know that the country
Is not prepared for war. and that war
with anv strong European power would
be attended with great disasters 70 this
country.
II Blaine has in view an aggressive for
eigu policy. so far as concerns England,
il is certain that he Is not Influenced By
any sympathy for Ireland or the Irish
people. but by a desire to cater 70 the in
terests OF spectators and jobbers. In q
conversation at Deer Park, W. Va, last
Saturday. Senator Bayard, speaking Of
Blaine's effort 10 get a part Of the Irish
vote, said that he had little doubt that
Blaine was quite capable Of embroiling
this country in a war with some one OF If
commercial allies. not from any patriotic
motive. but for the sake Of sensstiOnalism
and a little cheap glory. and 70 serve tie
selfish speculative interests Of himself and
friends
OF course Blaine viii lot say word
respecting his intentions in this matter
L he were 70 say that the impression re
specting his intentions towards England
was false. he would at once lose what
ever hold he has on the Irlsh-AmericsI
vote. and If he were 70 say it was true, be
would array against him the business IN
terests Of the country, which are o. fal
more importance to him than any help h'
can possibly get from the Irish-Ameri
can voters.
The probability Is that by leaving the
impression uncontradicted he hopes Il
draw 10 himself a very considerable mum
Der Of Irish-American voters in the doubt
ful States. and he also hopes, doubtless
that the votes Of this class that he will tak'
from the Democratic party, together witt
i those which Butler will get, Will be sum
| cient % give him the victory.
Its thought by many able politicians
that Buffers vote will be much larger thar
vas at first expected. His demagogica
/ speeches are having an influence that Il
very percepIble. His aim Is, doubtless
and has been from the beginning, to helI
Blaine. Irish-American voters have
nothing TO expect from either Blaine o.
Butler, and they will act wisely by re

Great interest is felt in the State
elections that occur in West Virginia and
Ohio next Tuesday, and this interest will
continue TO increase until the elections
are over.
The Republicans claim West Virginia,
but It is clear that they don't put much
faith in their claim. 1t is about certain
that West Virginia will return a Demo
cratic majority. In 1850 the Democratic
majority was 2.069. There is little doubt
that it will be much larger this year. both
this month and next.
The chief interest is centered in Ohio.
Il is probable that the Republicans viii
carry the state, but it is by no means GER
tain that they viii. The Democrats have
a fighting chance. and they are making a
brave and determined contest. II they do
not get the State. they will so cut down
the Republican majority that 1t viii do
the Republicans very little good.
In 1850. at the October election, the Re-
publican majority for Secretary OF state
was 1900. The Prohibition vote amount
Ell to 2.SJ0 and the Greenback vote to 800.
At the November election, Garfeld's plu-
rality was $4,000. In 1888 the political
complexion Of the State was changed.
Hoadlv. the Democratic candidate for
Governor. carried the State by plurality
Of l.. $50. In that election the Greenback
vote was 1890 and the Prohibition vote
Z. 400.
Tcere were reasons why the State went
Democratic last year that do not exist
this year: still, the Democratic victory
last year inspires a great many Demo
Gratis 10 look for a victory this year.
Even if the Republicans are successful
next Tuesday it doesn't follow that they
will carry the State in November. Wheth-
er or not they viii carry the State in No
vember depends largely upon the result OF
TUESDAYS election. If they get big ma
jority Tuesday they will carry the State
in November, doubtless, but small ma
iority will leave the State in doubt.
The ProhibitiOnists are largely Republi-
cans, but viii not vote for Blaine, and
there are a great many Republicans il
Ohio, who VIII vote the Republican ticket
next Tuesday, who will not vote for Blaine.
Here are two sources Of loss to Blaine,
and they are sources worth considering.

THE HAUNTED HILL.
A Missouri Countryside Panic-Strieken
Over Many Mysterious Accidents.

A Missouri Countryside Panic cken
Over Many Mysterious Accidents.
Out in what is known as the ''ghOst dis
trict," says a Mexico, No, special, there
is a fated hill, over which passes the main
country road. a well-known farmer, who
resides in the vicinity, states that within
the past year there have been no less than
fifty disastrous runaWays on this particu-
lar hill. and that old fragments of wagons
and buggies could be seen lying around
in all directions. People are beginning
to think strangely Of so many accidents
occurring at one place, and many 90 a
great distance out OF their way to avoid
what is beginning TO be familiarity known
as the haunted hill" OF late it is rare
thing that any traveller passes this road
by night, and then only on horseback. In
nearly every instance when the hill IS
reached the animal becomes unmanage-
able and makes franctic efforts TO unhorse
his rider.
AS Mr.. Anton Bradshaw and family
were returning home by this route, their
team. pair of sturdy old work horses,
took fright and ran away, luckily injuring
no one, but literally demOlishing the We
hicle. These horses were never known TO
run before. Last week two young ladies
the Misses Steyens-were thrown out OF
their buggy at the same place, one Of them
sustaining a severe fracture Of the ankle.
In this instance the buggy was smashe 4
into smithereens. Countless other
accidents of like character
were named, all happening at
this particular spot. The ''fatal
hill'' is situated two miles west OF town,
just in the rear of Philip Brownies
residence, in what is known as the ''ghOst
district" which latter derived its name
last fall from a strange creature roaming
at large, it is said, through the woods of
the locality, frightening the inhabitants
nearly out of their wits. This mystery
never was fathOmed, although day after
day and night after night hunting parties
were out securing the thickly-woOded,
sparsely-settled neighbOrhOOd.

FUNNY LITTLE ELECTION.

How the Northwestern Indians are
Classed Politically as Republicans and
Democrats.
Monday was election day at the Puyal-
lup reservation, says the Tocoma Ledger.
The officers to be chosen were a head chief
to succeed Tommy Lane, the present IN
cumbent. and four sub-chiefs or members
of the reservation council. Persons I'M
acquainted with the customs and laws
governing Indian affairs have but little
comprehension of the extent and power
of this council. 1t sits as a court, and
from its decisions there seems to be
no appeal. 1t would be hard
to define the limit OF its
legal powers. 1t can and does afflX penal
ties which the laws and courts oil wash
ingtOn Territory do not warrant, ana they
are scrupulOusly applied. rOr instance,
a Frenchman was brought before the
council for Ieafing about the agency and
dishonOring a squaw. He was sentenced
RI receive fifty Iashes and have his head
shaved and decorated with tar and feath-
ers. He was tied to the flag staff and the
fifty lashes vigorously applied. after
which the head-shaying and tar and feath-
ers came off.
The Indians had previously held eau
Gus, made speeches, nominated candl-
dates and made a canvass of the tribe.
Singular to say, the issue was Democrats
VS.. Republicans, the tribes having divided
into parties bearing these names. The Re
publicans had decorated the Flagstaff with
banners on which were inscribed: ''Hur-
rah for Blaine and Logan" Republican
victory" "Our country must be free for
ever" At the top of the stan hoated the
stars and stripes, and PATRIOTISM was
everywhere manifest. The Republicans
gained the victory by the election of Louis
Napoleon as head chief.

sad Scene in a Louisville COURTROOM
AfIuence to Poverty and Dissipation.
When the name of w. II. Cardwell was
called in the City Court Thursday NOR
ming, says a Louisville special, a cripple
came limping forward. He was ragged
and dirty, and his unshaven face, with its
matted beard, was so flushed that it at
once showed he was deeply under the in
luence Of liquor.
'Mr. CardweIl, you are disgracing your
occupation as a veteran by getting
drunk" remarked the Court. ''Mr. Mar
shall, take that man back to Jail till he
gets SOBER"
The man started to expOstulate, but he
was led away such helpless cripple that
he would have been pitiful if he had not
been so drunk.
Cardweli is a native OF Meckleuburg
county. Va, and on his mothers side is a
direct descendant of Patrick Henry. She
was the daughter Of one Of the orators
sons. Her illustrious grandfather died
before she was born, but she early mar
ried a CardWell, one of the prOudest Of
the old Virginia families.
When the war came young Cardwen
enlisted in Pickett's brigade. and fought
in some of Longstreet's hardest battles.
The war swept away all the family's
wealth, and when it closed they were as
poor as they were proud. Young Card
well went to clerking, but was too intelli-
gent to remain in such position long,
and finally secured employment on
Richmond newspaper as reporter. With
rare intervals he claims to have followed
the profession ever since. At one time he
was the editor of the leading paper in
Danville, and held different positions
afterward on other journals. He is now
on his way South.

Jay Gould's yacht ATLANTA, with Gould
and about twenty friends on board, came
very near being wrecked on He'll Gate
rocks, New York harbOr, on Sunday af-
ternOon. The yacht was forced out OF the
Long Island channel by a tug with a tow
Of barges, and started for what is known
as the middle channel. An effort was
made to stop the vessel when it was dis
covered that she was in danger, but that
was found to be impossible. Her bow
struck the rocks and stuck fast. She
heeled over to such an extent that her
port rail nearly touched the water. The
passengers screamed with terror. Gould
chung to the wheel in the pilot house. In
a little while the powerful screw pulled
the vessel eff and she proceeded on her
way. 1t was found that several Of the
plates had been loosened and that the
paint had been SCARED.

There isn't so much betting on the re-
suit OF the election now as there was q
week or ten days ago, and it isn't expect
ed that there viii be many more large
bets made until after the October cleo
tons. Reports from the principal cities
show that among betting men Cleveland
Is regarded as having rather the best
chance Of success.
In New York 500 TO $50 is offered that
Cleveland will carry New York and that
be will be elected. Quite a number OF
bets of several thousand dollars each has
been made recently. all Of which indicate
a growing confidence in Cleyeland's pros
meets. At nearly al the leading New
York hotels from 900 TO $4,000 has
been bet. A month ago Blaine was the IA
vorite. For some reason or other the i'm
preston seems 10 be that he is losing
ground.
In Philadelphia the Blaine sentiment is
still very strong. That city, however, is
q Republican stronghold. The betting
shows that Blaine's chances are regarded
as about 10 per cent. better than Cleye-
lands.
There hasn't been much betting in Bal
timore, but what there has been indicates
that Cleveland's prospects are regarded
as the better.
There isr't a great deal Of betting in
Washington, because the government
clerks, who compose a large part Of the
population, haven't the money to BET.
The bets that have been made, however,
are even.
At Buffalo, Cleveland's home, the bet
ting is even, with Cleveland as the
favorite. Between SIS, Oo0 and $4,000 has
been wagered.
Boston does not appear to have
done much betting. The newspa-
per reporters have been unable TO learn
Of any bets. In Cincinnati there
il a good deal Of bluffing talk by both
sides. But few large bets have been
made. Those where the money has been
staked are even. This does not show
that confidence in the West in Blaine's
success is very great.
At Detroit the largest bet Of which any
thing is known is 800 TO $50 that Blaine
will be elected.
At the pool rooms in Chicago the bet
ting is even on the general result and
even that Cleveland viii carry New York.
There are also bets Of 5000 to $3.50 that
Cleveland will carry New York.
At Milwaukee large amount has been
wagered and nearly all the bets favor
Cleveland by considerable odds. The
Blaine men do a great deal Of talking,
but are slow about putting up their
money.
At st. Louis the betting is $1,000 to $500
that Cleveland Will carry New York. He
also has the call on the general result.
At Kansas City Blaine was the favOrite
in the early part Of the campaign, but the
betting Is now about even. In large bets
about So, 900 has been wagered.
At Nashville 81, COO to 500 is bet that
Cleveland will carry New York.
At New Orleans the betting is now de-
cidedly in favor Of Cleveland. Several
who had large sums wagered on Blaine,
after a visit to New York last month, sue
ceeded in Withdrawing their bets.
If there is any satisfaction to be drawn
from the betting throughout the country
Cleveland's friends are certainly entitled
70 it.
