A Western Cyclone.

There seems TO be genuine breakup
in the Republican party In Wisconsin
First comes the ringing letter of ex.
Congressman Thad Pound, apd now We
are Informed that two other Republican
leaders. Col. S B Boynton and John H
McGreRor, have publicly declared ,ba,
they cannot suppor, Blaine. Mr.. Nc.

There Is sensation in Wisconsin
over these important departures from The
Blaine forces. and General Logan has
heen sent for in the hope of staying the
rising Cleveland tile. But we predict
that General Lrean's efforts will he fu-
Tile. Those who are deser,i"g Blaine l.,

lean party there, and they probably
think they know nearly ss much about
men aud things as G. neral L gan.
Wisconsin has the largest German
population OF any State in the Union in
proportion 10 the whole number OF l..
hah'tsnts, and the secret Of this revolt is
to be partially discovered in that fact.
There Is no longer any doubt about the
attitude the great bulk Of the Germans
are going TO assume in this contest.
They are naturally a conservative peo-
pie, and they are afraid of the pyrotech-
nical Mr.. Blaine The very plan that he
and his over-san euine lieutensnts adopt
ed to catch the Irish vote has not only
frightened away the German vote which
the Republicans have depended on with
absolute certainty for manv years, but it
has fol ed Of its purpose as to the Irish,
who have already come to understand
the miserable hypocrisy OF the scheme.
Tue news from Wisconsin is the kind
Of news we are going to hear from now
until the day OF election. This is q cam
paign of false pretences on the part Of
Mr.. Blaine and his followers, and the
people Of this country are determined
that be shall not gain control Of the
government by methods both dishonest
and dangerous.

ALBANY. N. Y, Sept. Is Mr.. Henry
s. Lamb. formerly Superintendent of
Banks of this State and leaiing Re-
publican, who resides at Lansinghurg,
formally announces his intention to bolt
Blaine and vote for Cleveland This de-
fection will cause considerable talk all
over The S,ate. Mr. Lamb is well and
favorably known. He sends q long let
ter txplaining his position, which is pub
lished in the Argus this morning. Part
Of this liter reads:
"Mr. Blaine is the type Of class OF
men who make politics their profitable
vocation in life. = In addition
to. notorious public testimony OF Mr..
Blaine's crooked seeking I have heen
taught long since by some OF bis Repub-

which utterly collapsed very soon sitter
Mr.. Blaine and his associates marketed
their shares. A rrceiver is in possess

lative testimony as 10 Mr.. Blaine's char
acter and conduct convinces me that his
nomlna,ion was grievous mistake and
that his election would he naiional mis-

There are no safe general rules" was

Leading. All LAWYERS concede, however,
that an American mechanic or small
man of business makes the best juryman
TO get at the real merits of case and
return a true verdict. Some lawyers
hold that q German will convict priD-

his high regard for Law, and that an
Irishman viii show sympathy and help
a poor devil out of difficulty by finding
him not guilty whenever it is possible.
Some say that old men ART more likely
TO find q prisoner guilty than young
men are. A lov-dovn jaryman, Who
never had a chance to exercise any au-
thority to speak of in his own or othss
peoples affairs, will vote to convict every
prisoner Who comes in his way, simply
