The constitution of Ohio forbids the
granting of liquor license. The
Scott law imposed tao on liquor
which brought thousands of dollars

which will now be contested and it
is not unlikely that the State will
have to refund the money. The

If the North will confront the
South on the basis of its own chal
lenge, Blaine will be elected and
have AZ votes to spare. This is a
result for which many careful obser-
vers look. But let it be supposed
that fhe North will not stand solid,
and that the South will. In addi-
ton to his Southern votes Cleveland
must have 48. Where is he going
to get them?
Give Cleveland Indiana, New Jer-
sey and Connecticut, and pile on
Massachusetts for good measure,
and he will still lack four votes of
an election. He will not get Massa-
chusetts. 1t is extremely doubtful
whether he can get either of the
other States named. Cleveland
must have the SO votes of New
York and - more, or he cannot be
elected. He will not get New York.
But give him that, and where will he
get the remainders
Blaine can do without the SO votes
of New York and the votes of New
Jersey or without New York and
the 6 votes of Connecticut, aud in
either case be elected with something
to spare. 1t is well within the pos
sibllities that Blaine will carry every
Northern State, leaving to Cleveland
those States which Mr.. Jefferson
Davis could carry if he were the
Democratic nominee. In this view
the present political situation is very

VOTE FOR BLAINE & LOGAN.

The Presidential fight of 1884 is
virtually over, almost every man
having about made up his mind how
he is going to vote. What can we
say of the great statesman, Blaine,
that has not been put before the
people time and again. They want
ed him for their president years ago.
He is a vigorous and aggressive man
in politics. He shiIks and evades
nothing; plain, broad in his views,
able, ripe in experience, he takes hold
OF every public question, and always
stands firm on the peoples side.-
This is great country, but he will
make out of it greater. The Eng
lish fear him Europe respects him,
and knows him probably better than
any other American statesman of
the present.
"On the tariff question his stand is
undisputed. He is for protection
and he tells the people that Demo
cratic free trade will reduce their
wages, shut down their mills and
cripple the magnificent industrial
progress of the country. No strad.

milk andwater utterances in his
speeches, but a clear, open and
above board opinion boldly and hon
estly expressed
"From Blaine turn to Cleveland.
The contrast is big one. Blaine,
an able, aggressive, up to- the times
statesman Cleveland a political
circumstance, without decided views
on single national question. His
course during the whole campaign
has been that of a nOnentlty, afraid
to trust himSelf-a political infant,

without the courage to walk. The
tariff he has ignored. The most

From letter Of Dennis O'Connor
to his brother Patrick G., Of BALTIC.
The Free Trade doctrine of Eng
land destroyed what little manufac-
lures we had, and threw our entire
population on the soil for q living.
The land being in the hands Of q
tyrannical alien aristocracy, our
people were placed between the up

very life ground out of them.
AMY Dear Brother, warn our
coutrymen now, before it is too late,
against the fearful results which
must inevitably follow the introduc-
ton of Free Trade into the States.
Guard against it as you would
against an invading army. The de-
feat of Cleveland means the defeat
of English designs on American
prosperity. We in Ireland take as
much, if not more, interest in the
welfare of the States than the resi-
dents therein. We look upon it as
our home.
From iG floats our inspiration fol
freedom and happiness. The Amer.

the United States of America, its
government and institutions, can be
realized only by those who have

The Democratic majority in the
present House is 81, and the indlca-
tons are that it will be nearly as
difficult for the Republicans to over
come that as for the Democrats to
reverse their control of the Senate.
In order to get bare majority the
Republicans must capture 81 dis
tricts now held by Democrats. They
have made a gain of some in Ohio
and expect to get additional districts
in Indiana, to regain one or two dis
tricts in Iowa, several in Michigan,

ENGLAND SELLS CHEAPER THAN
AMERICA.

The congressional commission on
trade with South America continued
its sessions in Philadelphia yester.
day. James p. Scott said his ex-
perience in Spain taught him that
English supremacy in that country
was due to the fact that English
manufacturers under sell the Ameri-
cans, and he was satisfied the case
was the same in South America. If
American manufacturers would
allow him to sell at the same prices
as the English he would guaranteed
a trade of 81 100000 with Spain in
five years. owing to the superior
workmanship of the American arti-
cle.-SGtMddy's Press.
The reason English manufacturers
can sell cheaper than the American
is plain enough. Labor in England
receives only one-half the price it
does in America, and in some in
stances not that even. Their work
houses are full of paupers and the
English government is only too glad
To get shut of them by paying to
ship them to America by the thous-
ands. Cheap labor, cheaper manu-.
facture, cheapest sales. Do you
ever hear of Americans going to
Europe to better their condition
If free trade is such blessing to
the poor man, why do the thousands
not 60 to England instead of coming
to America? If the English can
undersell Americans now in Spain
and South America, how will it be
in America if the Democrats get
into power and pass something like
the Morrison bill or adopt free trade
outrighti Then the English will
undersell Americans in America, but
they will give no employment to
our laborers and pay no tax to keep
up our government. Vote for Blaine
and Logan on Tuesday and insure
protection to American labor and
enterprise for four years longer.
