Campaign Notes.

SiIIe was nominated for state senator.
New York Tribune: The great fact which
the New letters establish is that Mr.. Blaine was
the victim of Warren Fisher, deceived by him
from the start, induced to involve himself and
friends in an undertaking in which they all
,nfereI, crippled by the refusal OF Fisher to
keep his word, persuaded when disaster came
10 borrow money for the enterprise upon his
personal credit, and finally left in the lurch by
his professed friend, who reasoned that Mr.
blaine. being q public man, could never afford
to demand what was justly due him, for fear
of scandal.
Augusta Special to Chicago Tribune: 1t is
vel! known that the letters have been hawked
aboutfor som time with a view of getting Mr..
R,sine's friends to stop their publication, but
they have refused to take any notice of these
offers and are congratulating themselves now
that the democrats have published the letters.
Everybody here agrees that the letters are the
hest kind Of tribute to Mr.. Blaine's honesty and
Gdelitv to his friends. His distress, because he
was unable to raise $4,000 to pay a loan he
had secured for the railroad company, proves
conclusively the falsehood about his being a
millionaire while his strenuous efforts to keep
the railroad company out OF financial difficulty
is regarded as proof that he was rightin saying
that he would be no deadhead in the enterprise.
Secretary Mcpherson says, with relation TO
the new Mulligan letters, that it seems to him
ash Mr.. Blaine and Fisher had had a misun-
derstanding about their business transactions,
each claiming money, was due him, and that
was all there was in the whole matter.
'The people won't be influenced by a small
matter of that kind" he saws, fsand / would
not be surprised if the publication would be
used as was the 1853 in Garfeld's campaign.
Secretary Mcpherson asserts very conf
dentially that the Republicans will carry Ohio
He gets q large mail every morning, and says
he finds in it every reason for encouragement
Most of the letters received are requests for
a~nti-tariff talk, and are accompanied with the
assertion that this question is exciting the ut
most interest The result in Maine, they say,
had an electrical effect upon the state, and
where was idleness before there is great ac-
tivity now. Maine having been disposed of,
this has became the battlefield, and about the
same tactics will be followed there as N the
September states. The Republicans claim
that whatever the result IN October may be,
Ohio will go Republican in November, as
Blaine is at least 10000 stronger than his
ticket in the state.
Mr.. Paul West a prominent lawyer of Bos-
ton, in a letter to the Boston Journal, says he
made the acquaintance of J. H Mulligan, of
Mulligan- letter notoriety, in 1879, while he was
acting in a law case with Loheir & WEIGH,
Mulligan's lawyers. Mr.. West says he was
a grant man at the time, and asked Mulligan's
opinion about Mr.. Blaine. Mulligan said he
did not consider Mr.. Blaine q corrupt man;
also, that he believed he never sold his vote,
nor did he ever use his influence as speaker or
congressman to influence Legislation in which he
might be personally interested
New York Tribune: We have high authority
for stating that Secretary Fish has never an
nounced his intention Of supporting Gov.
Cleveland, and good reasons that he will vote
for Mr.. Blaine. We call upon the World to
prove its assertion to the contrary.
Pro-. Lewis Boss, the distinguished astrono-
mer and director Of the Dudley observatory,
at Albany, N. Y, will make several campaign
speeches for Blaine and Logan Prof. Boss
has been for many years an intimate friend of
MI. Blaine. During his visit to Chill on the
transit Of Venus expedition he became thor
oughly familiar with the beneficent results Of
MI. Blaine's South American policy.
Prohibition st John now feels how sharper
than a thankless tooth ii is to have a serpent
child His boy in the land office swears he
will vote for Blaine.
The Kenebec, Me-, Journal contains the fol-
lowing: "Mr. Blaine, accompanied by his wife,
arrived at Bar Harbor. Ia answer to q reporter
who called at his residence TO ascertain II he
wished to say anything in regard to the letters
gwen the public by Fisher and Mulligan, Mr..
Blaine replied his only desire was that every vot-
er In the United States might read the letters for
himself andnot form his judgment from edito-
rial Misrepresentation in partisan journals.
Ihere was not a word in the letters, Mr.. Blaine
added, which was not entirely consistent with
the most scrnpnieus integrity and honor: He
hoped every Republican paper IN the United
states would publish the letters in full"
Washington Special: The grist Of letters
daily received by the republican congressional
committee may be considered a true reflex Of
the general feeling throughout the conntrx-
from every section comes the word that tho
Maine election has had a wonderfully encour-
aging effect Two or three letters received re-
Gently from the northwest give the strongest
possible assurances as to Wisconsin. They
say ~ will give Blaine a larger majority than
gave Garfield, Notwithstanding the effects Of
Oari Schultz among the Germans.
John Finnerty, congressman from the Irish
American district Of Chicago, in an article In
his paper to the Citizen, dsclares very en-
p,hatically for Blaine and Logan. He says the
election OF Cleveland would be o misfortune
and a curse.
The Irishmen Of Birchdale, Mimi, to tho
number Of forty, have taken steps to organize
q Blaine and Logan club. The Irishmen At
mat vicinity are enthusiastic in their suppofv
'or the Republican nominee for president
Judge Severance: The people Of this country,
n order to do justice by themselves, ought TO
call two new conventions and dominate two new
tickets. Judge Severance Is one OF the most
prominent Democrats in Minnesota and is
effective campaign speaker. His u~tterances
are significant as showing the feeling Of dis
gust among the better elements OF the Demo
cratic party over the nomination Of a man who
mas no claims to statcsmansh;p and whose
moral character is badly smirched
The charge that Mr.. PLANE approved the tar
