itself together tor one more great eI-
fort, the gallant Irish voters who had
bsen as true as steel to the Democrat
ic flag for score of years, have raj
lied again under the banner. The
Germans, hitherto standby Republi-
can, have split their ranks and many
have denounced Blaine as a Prohibi-
zionist and will vote and work for
him. The Independent Republicans
are men of great wealth, and influence,
and they are terribly in earnest. The
Temperance element that hold the
balance of power in several Western
States have put up a separate ticket, !
and will draw most of their support
from the Republican side. Then the
whole country is hard up. Mills,
factories, and mines ere closing, and
throwing thousands of men out of en-
ployment, who will kick against such
an order of affairs through the ballot.
Then there are thousands of soldiers
hitherto Republicans, who have failed
to get their pensions, through lack
of the necessary evidence, and who
are in a sullen state, and will vote
against keeping their old party in
power. Then there are an unknown
quantity of dissatisfied voters who
want change, and-why go on? The
dissatisfaction and disgust is now
breaking out all along the lines, and
the hitherto invincible Republican
phalanx are crying loudly for assist
ance, but their old leaders held aloof.
Conkling, Grant, Dorsey, the Gamer
ons, won't do hands turn, and the
funds are imperatively needed to car
ry ON the campaign but are not forth
coming. From the departments they
used to assess each employee two per
cent of their salary and their raise
from that source alone was a half
million of dollars. 1t is doubtful if
they will give five thousand now, as
the civil service protects each clerk
from all such assessments. The Blaine
boom that started out SO triumphant
ly has fallen fiat already, ald there
is no great issue, no war cry, no great
leaders, no money to arouse it again,
and surely but surely the great Dem
ocratic hosts are growing stronger each
hour, and in few months time the air
from Maine to Georgia will be cleo
trio with their coming triumph.
