CLEAR LAKE, July 18.--H the Republican party

Jas. G.. Blaine. His past record stands on file
to-day as deep. designing demagogue; a man
devoid Of principle, and one that will stoop to
any little act of infamy to accomplish his pur
pose. Self aggrandizement Is his god, to whom
he will fall down and worship at all times and un-
der all circumstances For the last thirty years
he has been playing hand for office, always
keeping the White house in view. In the great
RnoW-nothing rage Of 80 he yas the grand

for the irish cote to lift him into the presiden-
tial chair. Irishmen, appeal to

NEW YORK, July 19.-The Graphic. in regard
to Blane's letter, says Blaine is a bold leader.
He believes in protection, he thinks the Repub-
liean party believes in it and he proposes to make
it the main issue Of this campaign. Happily for
the Democratic party the tariff question is not to
be sprung on them in the last hours OF the cam
paign, as was the case, to their unbounded aston
ishment, in 1880. They might have made their
position impregnable il the Democratic house
had acted with half the courage that characterzes
Blame, but they can yet do 90 during the months
that mast elapse before the election. Thou
sands Of people win look upon Blaine's roseate
picture of public prosperity with astonishment
almost equal to their admiration. II is very
pretty but the hard question arises wherein are
they benefited by it. The men of the mines, of
the trades, of the bitches, the middle men whom
monopoly has driven out Of business. They are
poorer than they ever were before and it is be-
yond their power to bring up their children to
the intelligent citizenship Of which Blaine
speaks with such fat and pat ronizing conf

The Labor Unions Not In Politics.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Gabriel Edmonston
the carpenter OF the house of representatives,
president of the carpenters union OF this district
said to a Star reporter that the resolutions con-
demnatory of Cleveland adopted by the fedora
ton of labor recently emanated from few labor
ers employed by the government, and that it was
against the rules Of the unions to meddle with
politics at all He says there was but one dis
senting voice to the resolutions passed by the
carpenters union Wednesday night, repu6iating
the action of the federation of labor.
.sI believe, he said, ''that a large majority of
the workingmen will vote for Ben Butler, if he
runs, in preference to either Cleveland or Blaine,
though would not II he runs he will draw off
labor vote, but not as large as it would have
been il he had not gone to the Democratic CON
vention. Since he went there many laboring
men will contend that he must stand by the party,
for they detest bolter above all things
.That's so,'' said a carpenter standing by 81
am Butler man, but I will not vote for him now
He must stand by the party. shan't vote for a
bolter.''
Mr.. Edmonston said that Butler was not
authorized to speak for organized labor at
Chicago The only men with authority to do
that were P. H. McLogon and Richard Powers
Ihe puDllsned report tnat tne president con-
templated Withdrawing the commission Of John
j. Jarret as the chief of the new bureau of labor
created BY congress is not true. 1t is not in the
power of the president to thus dispose OF Mr.
jarrett His nomination to the Office and the
consent of the senate thereto gave him the office,
and the presidents commission operates only as
a record thereof. The president can remove him
forthwith under the tenure Of Office law, but can
not defeat the act OF the senate, the "consent-
ing power, by reposing commission. No doubt
the president feels little sore toward jarrett be-
cause of speech he made to body OF laboring
men in Pittsburg, wherein the laudation Mr.
Arthur got was not such to inspire him to
have it framed and hung up for real chrome.

WASHINGTON, July 1s.-Mr. Pendleton's civil
service law, which, as Ben Butler said at the Chi
cago convention, would have kept George Wash
ington out of Office in the city named for him. has
been given liberal construction by the gentle
dudes called the civil service commission.
The civil service rules do not apply to appoint
ments to place paying only $720 year or under
that sum- Any one passing civil service exam
ination is eligible to appointment to a $1,000
clerkship. In many cases the wait between the
successful passing of the examination and the
appointment to 81 200 place is very long. A
number of people who passed successful exami-
nations accepted s72o places. They are eligible
to promotion in the regular order without under
going another examination. In this way they
have reached the grade of $1,000 long before
their turn would have come for such an appoint
ment, and in the meantime they have been in the
government employ, too.

during that period. He seems to have supposed
no man knew the country had increased in wealth
bnt himself. Every intelligent man knows the
increase between the years 1850 and 1880 were
due to the enormous increase OF cur
rency. This was the greatest during the
war. Flour, for instance, was twice
as high as now. The apparent wealth
of the country may be doubled and trebled yet II
has not increased the wealth Of the country
dollar. Yet Blaine says not word OF this. The
explanation of the apparent increase Of our
wealth is plain. IL it tariff that makes lands
worth $40 per acre in 1860 out here in the
western states, now sell for $40 and $50? Why,
no. Yet Blaine, who asks your vote for presi-
dent, says so. won't say wilfully, and will be
charitable enough not to say through ignorance
to make the people Of this country believe they
are indebted to tariff for the immense increase OF
wealth. What has caused that wealth? Into
whose pockets did it go? How much has gone
into the pockets of the laboring
men of this country? That is the ques-
ton l would like Mr.. Blaine to answer.
Why is it every paper we pick up, if the laboring
man has got share, contains an account of q
strike? Applause Do the laboring men
throw down their tools for the pleasure Of hav-
ing strike and hear the cries Of their children
for bread? Applause. If this is the immense
increase in the wealth of the country, judging
from the condition of the laboring man, must
say he has surely not got his share. Applause.
