A day or tive ago MI. Blaine pal

Ex-Governor Moses has not ye
promised to carry Sonth Carolins
for Blaine and Logan. This, how
ever, is due to the fact that he is not
at liberty. Most Of his compatriots
are.
The Butler demonstration in Con-
necticut day before yesterday was a
decided failure. Evidently the good
people of the nutmeg state are not in
love with the Massachusetts, dema-
gogue.
Affairs in China still remain, like
the great Chinese puzzle, unsolved.
Dispatches from there are contra
dictory and the reader is left to guess
whether wal has been declared
against France Or not.
Blaine must be somewhat alarmed
about his own State. He misses no
opportunity to show himself to pub

According to late dispatches Van
derbilt sold Maud 8. to Bonner, and
he didn't sell her. Vanderbilt owns

"every citizen should enjoy the same
privileges, no matte r where born or
what their complexion may be-"
Right. Republicans have taken

Senator German, chairman of the
Democratic Executive committee,
recently declared that under no cir
cumstances OF provocation whatever
would he be a party to circulating
anything rejecting upon the private
character of Mr.. Blaine. He was
unanimously sustained by the COM
mittee in that position. He said
Governor Cleveland would not be
harmed by the calumnies that had
been heaped upon him, but even
were this otherwise he would resign
his place as member of the National
