New YORK, Aug. 29.-The Times says: ''The
letter in which the Hon. Thad. G.. Pound, of
Wisconsin, gives his reasons for refusing to sup
port Mr.. Blaine and for supporting Mr.. Cleve-
land is very strong one. The writer is a leader
of acknowledged influence and high character in
the Republican party in the state. He writes as
a Republican, and declares that his purpose is
taken in the interest of real Republicanism. He
reviews Mr.. Blaine's character and career plainly
and forcibly, and that gentleman's advocates will
be amazed to see how formidable is the list of his
otfenses and how small part the Muligan
letters, sufficient in themselves, play in the
Arrangement. Mr.. Pound has served three terms
in the house of representatives. He is practi-
cal politician; he does not talk in the least like
dude, nor, except that he declines the COM
pany of Blaine's immediate supporters, does he
assume to be 'holier' than the average common
sense Republicans. His letter will receive at
tention as a powerful statement of the disgust
and indignation excited by Blaine's nomination
in region where have been told the party
was wild with enthusiasm for him. Mr. Pounds
succinct statement of the claims of Gov. Cleve
land is equally effective"
The World: 'sNew York is pledged to the
Democratic cause. So are New Jersey, Connect
icut and other eastern states, but we shall all
gladly hail the west as leader in the great revo-
luton, and shall feel that our common triumph
will be made dOubly glorious, if it is to be the
signal of tbs emancipation of the western states
from Republican thralldom.'
u The Herald: 'Ohio has gone Republican in
every presidential election since 1856. This year
it is possible to reverse her history in this re-
gard. In 1883 Hoadly, Democrat, carried Ohio
against Foraker, Republican, by 10000 votes
though the Republican vote was larger by 81, 4a6
than that cast for Foster in 1881 The Demo
