A Partial List.

Inc MILLION.
The following is only partial list
of the republican and Independent
papers which are decidedly oppos-
ing Blaine and Logan. 1t foots up
an even 60.

Blaine in New York.

There has been no political demonstra.
tion in New York these many years that
will compare in numbers and enthusiasm
with the Blaine and Logan ratification
meeting ON Tuesday night. Five thousand
people were in the Grand opera house
and an uncounted multitude on the out
side, for whom there was no standing
room in aisle or lobby. The long list of
officers embraces the names of many Of
the most distinguished citizens of the
great metropolis-the leading merchants,
bankers, lawyers, jurists, and men dis
tinguished In every walk Of life. 1t
has been alleged that the business
men of New York were afraid of Mr..
Blaine's vigorous foreign policy" From
the names that appear in the list Of vice
presidents Of this meeting 1t would seem
that the solid men Of New York are will
ing to trust all the interests OF the coun-
try, including our foreign rotations, in
the hands of republican president and a
republican congress.
Mr.. Evarts's speech was the great feature
of the meeting. He is generally put for
ward on important occasions, and his
views are received with profound respect
by men of all parties. He is conserva-
tive by nature and brings to the consider
alton of political questions the keen per-
ception and the educated judgment of a
great lawyer and great statesman. Mr..
Evarts is not afraid of Mr.. Blaine's "vig-
orous foreign policy" He effectually
disposed Of the ridiculous assumption that
president can create policy and en-
force it against the will of the people.
The relations of the president to the peo-
pie are happily expressed in this passage
in his speech:
| We are saying that the president has behind
him a majority of the people Of the United
States and what they will he Is to do and
that responsibility and that accountability
follows the president by day and by night
coming in and going out in the white house
and in his travels for he is the servant of the
people Of the United States, as the majority o.
that people desire and wish.
| Mr.. Evarts's diagnosis Of the position
and purposes of the republican boltera
was irresistibly amusing, as was also
his characterization of the demo-
cratic ticket as 70 kangaroo ticket,
strongest in its hind legs. The whole
assembly was convulsed with laughter
when Mr.. Evarts hid away tho boilers in
the marsupial pouch ofthe kangaroo ticket
to be joltod and jumped into strange
places as they respond to tho movements
of 'thoso robust bourbon legs of Gov.
| Hendricks"

Holman's Warm Heart.

The other day city paper published
paragraph describing w. $. Holman, the
Indiana cheese parer, rs one of the most
charitable of men with as kind heart
as over throbbed against a waistcoat." In
proof thereof it was stated that he had
provided place on the roll of employees
of the house for Willie Howard, q help
less. wan-faced little cripple, who has
been tolerated about tho house appropria-
tions committee rooms for several winters.
The nobility of the Objector's soul
shines through this act with dazzling
light, but the illumination is not sufii-
cient to show that ii cost the Objector q
nickel to be charitable in this instance.
1t is not everybody who can saddle his
private charities on the treasury of the
United States and then cite the hagrant
breach of trust rs an illustration of his
excessive warmth Of heart.
Truly, the Indiana statesman has hit
upon very cheap plan Of indulging his
generous impulses. He might extend his
charities after the same fashion indef.
nitely and build up d great reputation as
q philanthroplst. He might establish
orphan asylums, hospitals, schools,
churches, missionary societies. found
lings' homes, and poor houses with money
grabbed from tho public crib and then
proclaim from the temple steps that he
had done it all.
"Look at me-" ho can exclaim, 'I,
IT A. a
me again, and il you are clear sighted
onought to SEQ through stone wall, you
can perceive the palpitations of as warm
a heart as ever throbbed against waist
coat"
AS matter of fact, Mr.. Holman is one
Of the cheapest specimens of the genus
fakir known to the American public. He
has been playing a confidence game on
the people for twenty years.

members of the committee on elections,
and with but one dissenting vote they
recommended the seating of Judge Craig,
who was elected by over 10000 majority.
Gen. Shelley took no testimony aud prac-
tically made no defense. However, in
the face of the most astounding develop
ments as TO the manner in which he pre-
cured his certificate of election, he con-
tinues to hold his seat and will not vacate
IL until turned out by vote Of tho
house.
Tho briof Of tho contestant would be
very interesting reading for those high
toned Massachusetts, republicans who
think of going over to the democratic
party. Sporadic election frauds are not
uncommon in any part of the country,
and in close contests injustice is some
times done through partisan bias, but
deliberate conspiracy to procure fraudu-
lent result, which reaches to almost every
voting precinct in whole congressional
district, and overcomes preponderance
of votes Of four to one, and at some places
of ten to one, is something Of which the
average voter in tho north can form no
adequate conception.
The frauds, evasions. and subterfuges
by which Craig's majority Of 1859 was
converted into majority Of z, 1867 for Shell
ley arc so vicious and so glaring that
even the man who got the certificate of
election will not undertake to defend or
explain them. In Dallas county, for in
stance, where Gen. Shelley resides, he ro-
ceived only iS0 votes, to 5,152 for Judge
Craig, but after the election supervisors
got through their manipulations the re-
suit was changed to 1,713 for Shelley, tC
0s3 for Craig, 1t is hard to think thai
the moral sense of the decent people o
Alabama is not shocked by such por.
! fOrmances as these.

Bon Buffers canvass in Chicago last
week was n hollow hunbug. We were
told that Ben was going to prosecute the
liveliest campaign ever heard of; that he
had brought bar'l with him; that he
meant to carry the war into Africa, and
that IL he didn't secure the nomination ii
wouldn't be because he didn't make the
hottest sort of fight for IL. We were
told all these things, and we watched all
the week for some of that brilliant work
which had been predicted So far from
being aggressive. or even spunky, Buffers
canvass was excessively tame. There
was nothing done by either Butler or his
lieutensnts accompanying him worthy OF
distinction as a clever piece Of work. 1t
seemed as If the Butler boom had ex-
pended itself in bluster and swagger be-
fore IL reached Chicago.
Our workingmen sand labor unions
made IL possible for Butler to cut tre-
mendously wide swath here, but no ad.
vantage was taken of these favorable
conditions. Butler aud his lieutenants
were satisfied simply to pose as objects Of
permitted to empty its ndulations. And
while Butler and his lieutenants were
making spectacular comedies Of them
selves, the other candidates were making
off with the prey. The democratic con-
vention season was q social ovation fol
Butler-it was nothing more. And the
vulgar old fellow seemed to be perfectly
satisfied with the hollow batteries Of mid.
night seronaders and the admiring stare
of hotel losfers and street idlers. AL
this might be considered ''rattling can

Returning 10 the Fold.

ttpttuHu LtuuCT.
One by one the wanderers from the rc-
publican fold are returning. Among the
boilers against Blaine and Logan was the
WeStiche Post, of st. Louis. This is Carl
Schurz's paper, and the expectation was
that it could and would influence the
Missouri German Americans to abandon
the republican party. But the thing did
not work according to expectations, and,
instead of leaving the party, the disgusted
Germans began to leave the boiling jour
nal. Thousands Withdrew from its sub
scription list, and ruin stared tho pro-
prietors In the face. To save the estab-
lishment from wreck it became necessary
to turn sharp corner, and on Saturday
last the JHeStliche Post came out editorially
in behalf Of the republican ticket, con-
cluding as follows: ave have criticised it
thus far freely, but we admit now, with
equal freedom, that we erred. We ex-
pected of the other party what the repub-
lican party can best perform. Republi-
cans can do no better than to remain true

CHINA, 1t is reported, has refused the
French demands for an evacuation OF the
Tonquin border and an indemnity, so
that war is no doubt inevitable. The
French naval force available for immo-
diate operations on the Chinese coast is
inferior to that which can be brought
against it, but the difference in fighting
skill and bravery will probably enable
France to take possession of the rich
island Of Formosa without serious trouble.
1t may also be assumed that in case of war
blockade will be declared, and one or
more Of the treaty ports occupied, in
which case it Is not impossible that some
of the great commercial powers will feel
constrained to intervene for the protec-
tion of their interests. A high Chinese
official is reported to have said that a
secret treaty Is in existence between Ger
many and China whereby, in case of war
with France, the former power has en-
gagged to take sides with China, receiving
In compensation the island Of Formosa.
II there be any trnth in this report, ii
would serve to explain the willingness
of China to engage in war with such @
formidable power as France.

No BETTER campaign article has made
its appearance than Mr., Edwin d. Mead
review of the<Blaino- Fisher letters, as
commented upon by the New York
Erening Post and the Nation (the weekly
edition Of tho POst.) Mr.. Mead takes up
the lotTers seriatum and shows that tho
deductions and differences drawn by the
Nation arc utterly inconsistent with the
facts, and in many instances are willfully
false, This crushing review appears in
tho Boston TraueIIer, and is addressed
mainly to the Massachusetts "indepond-
ents." 1t is not probable that any OF
thom will undertake to answer it.

The Fourth Alabama District.

The counties Of Dallas, Hale, Lowndes,
Perry, and Wilcox constitute the fourth
congressional district Of Alabama. These
counties all belong to the so-cslled "black
belt" and in assigning them to the same
district the democratic legislature in
tended to deprive the republican vote of
its proper weight in determining the po-
litical character of tho Alabama repre-
sentation in congress by massing it. By
the census of 1880 thore were 1855
colored persons in the counties compris-'
ing this district TO 32,S5j whites. The
proportion of voters is about four colored
TO one white, and the republican majority
10 from $4,000 to 100000
When the apportionment was made in
1874 the legislature intended to create
seven districts which might bo carried by
the democrats by little judicious bull
doing, leaving one district SO strongly
republican that 10000 votes would be
l,ctieally lost in the excessive majority.
.nr idea of defeating republican candi-
datos in districts where the republican
voters soutnumbered the democratic voters
in the proportion of four to Que had not
yet been fully developed. The kuklux
did effective work IN those days, but a
regularly organized system of fraud
reaching to all the election precincts in a
given district was not contemplated.
In 1876 however, Gen. Charles M,
Shelley managed to have himself re-
turned as elected from the fourth dis
triCt, and no has appeared at each suo-
oeeding session of the house Of represent
atives with a certificate of election. He
was unseated by the last house, and he
will be unseated by tho present house

case was too bad oven for the demo0ratlC
