Blaine will not admit that the battle he
is about to wage in Ohio is in the
nature OF torlorn hope, he goes about
it as one does about avery serious bus
mess. IIo takes with him as his first
hentcnant Joseph III. Manly, postmas-
ter at Augusta, tried friend and ono
ofhis most capable supporters. Innot
q few respects he is in an ADLER leader
for such campaign than Blaine him
self. His work will not be so much
seen as felt i'm results. lie led in the re-
cent battle in Maine, and his methods
arc held to be rs good i'm Ohio as they
proved to be in Maine. If it was q
Dorsey that was felt to be needed, the
want has been supplied in Manly. Hc

Bloinc intends to force the fight ON

six anu eight dollars they now get for

make 1t altogether and drink foreign
beer. The Prohibitionists will be told
that their action will directly tend to

lquors; because supporting St. John
will only help to elect Cleveland and
bring the free traders into power.

standing champion of protection, will
be made to do duty for all it is Worth.
Blalnc intends to mako good the say

was free trade triumph and that
CleVeland's election will consum,catc
what was then begun. Here it can
be said that speeches made bv Demo-

ed because they arc so anti-protcction.

Blaine in the Chic canvass. Blaine
perceives his advantage and will make
the most Of it. IIc would not be tbo
Blaine the country knows so well if he
did not. And he and his cohorts will
go it rough shod and the voters ofOhio
will be told more things than they ever
dreamed of.
But the work will not be wholly or
chiefly on the stump. 1t was not SO in
the recent Maine election, the result of
OF which is claimed as a great Blaine
victory. The silent work in the neigh
borhood, Mt the fire and with iHdiVid-
uals will go on, increasingly. This is
Manlcy's tactics. And there will be
"soap." -Four years have not lcsscned
the virtues Of soap in heated cam

the best use of it TO be lost.
In fighting The Ohio October battle
Blaine believes he will be fighting the
November battle in Indiana, New York
and every State he must carry to be
saved. In fighting the September bat
tlo in Maine he held that he was help.

Every one can judge for himself how
we'll he calculated. "Take them in
detail" is what Blaine said when he
retired to Bar Harbor, ostensibly to
write history and have good time
, with few friends.
