A SENTINEL READER.
Mulberry, Ind, June II, 1884.
ANSWER.
We have only Republican infor-
nation on the question raised by our
correspondent. When some of Mr..
Logan's friends were urging him for
the first place on the Republican tick
ct, the Chicago News, Republican
paper, on the 11th day Of May said:
"But Logan did not confue his
hatred to the north to mere words, rs
the following excerpt from an atida-
Wit sworn to before John O. Harmon,
clerk of the Circuit Court of Alexan>
der comfy, ILL.,, september 30, 1868,
will show:
II, John G. Wheatley, a resident
of the city, county and State afore-
said, do sulemnly swear that on the
2Sth day of May, 1861, | went from
Williamson county to join Capt. j.
B. Cunningham's company CO. of
the Fifteenth Regiment, Tennessee
Volunteers. that Maj, General John

scented this (the thirteenth) Congress

suaded me to join the same, that said
Logan accompanied us (about seven

the way from Williamson county to

to cross the Ohio river. We crossed

at Cairo. x x X My sen, r. l..

last heard from them. in Marion,
Williamson county, H., were mem
bers of said company, and will attest
the truth of this statement.
at is fact that up to July 9Th,
1861. although repeatedly urged to
abandon his reasonable attitude,
Logan never by voice or act gave in
his adherence to the Union. On that
date the Chicago Tribune received
the following in its dispatch from
Washington:
John A. Logan falls in, quits
his dirty work, and even wants a reg>
iment.'"

lican paper we might have promptly
concluded that is was democratic

moral engines of "the grand old par
ty," there is something staggering

The New Orleans Exposition.

Other and more urgent demands upon our
time and space have prevented fuller and
earlier recognition of the great exposition to be
held in New Orleans during the coming winter
and now that Belfast is asked TO contribute, a
few facts concerning this undertaking will
prove of interest. The original plan was
for a cotton exposition, but it has developed
into what bids fair to be one of the finest inter-
national and industrial exhibitions ever given in
any country. The project is on sound finan-
cial basis, Congress having loaned 81 900 900,
and donated $500, 900, in addition to which the
State of Louisiana has appropriated 100000
the City of New Orleans 100000, and $500 900
has been received from individual subscribers.
The buildings have been projected on an ex-
tensIve scale, and the space allotted to eX-
hibitors will be about double that at the PhiIa-
delphia Centennial, and equal to the two larg-
est Paris expositions and the great Vienna ex-
position put together. The main building COW
ers ground area of thrty-three acres, and
those who propose to take in the show in its
entirety next winter will have some tramping
to do. Mexico and the South American States
have exhibited marked interest in the exhibit
ton, and large share of the space will be de-
voted to displays of the products of those coun-
tries; while the demands for space from all
parts of this country indicate that the leading
will be literally represented. New England
will contribute largely, and we trust that Bel
fast will add her mite to the display.

Mr.. BIaine's Visit to the West.

1t was Mr.. Blaines intention and wish to re-
main quietly at his home in Augusta until after
the Presidential election. and to devote such
time as be could secure from the many de-
mands upon him to completing the second vol
ume of his history. But soon after his nomin-
alton requests began to reach him to visit yari-
Gus places, and these multiplied and grew
more urgent as time wore on; and, finally act
ing upon the advice of his friends, Mr.. Blaine
concluded to make the memorable western tour
just closed There is, of course, no reason why
he should have declined invitations from those
who were anxious to see and listen to the next
President of the United States. There is no
divinity which hedges around a Presidential
candidate, and Mr.. Blaine would be the last
man TO put forth plea of this kind. lie has
ever been ready TO go where duty called, and
neither as a private citizen nor us a candidate
for high office does he forget that he is Il mem
Der of the Republican party.
The people nominated Mir. Blaine and it was
at their call that he left his Augusta home and
his literary labors to meet them face to face
and to present to them the issues of the dav as
he alone can do. If Gov. Cleveland chooses to
remain within the limits of his own State that
is matter within his discretion, or the control
of his managers. He, or they, evidently took
the wiscst course. Mr.. Cleveland has no ideas
upon public questions, and if he had, would be
afraid to utter them because of the dissensons
in his party. He is not an orator, while in his
personnel the animal SO clearly predomnates
over the intellectual that for this reason also it
is deemed best not to bring him before the pub
lie. The real objection, on the part of the OPP
position press, 10 Mr.. Blane's visits to Ohio
and west Virginia is to be found in the fact
that wherever he goes he eXcites enthusiasm
and strengthens the Republican cause.

Democratic Campaign Methods

Forgeries and lies have been The methods re-
sorted to by the Democratic party for the pur-
pose OF defeating the Republican candidates
ana securing control OF the national govern
ment. The Boston journal recently presented
summary of some ten or twelve forged letters
and interviews, and others have since been add
ed. 1t was remarked at the time Mr.. Barnum
of "mule' notoriety WAS reelected chairman of
the national committee that the tactics indicat-
ed by the Morey letter would be followed; and
they have been. Newspapers once respectable
have lent themselves readily to these forgeres.
and in some cases have originated them. The
Evening Post of New York, now in the hands
of a lobbyist and an Engli>hman, is sponsor for
one of the many forged letters the Democrats
have put forth to deceive the voter. Not con
tent with forging letters Of the living they have
manufactured statements purporting to have
been made by men who are now dead. thinking
thus to be secure from successful refutatIon.
Disappointed Office seekers, and men who have
been put out of office for cause, whose testi-
mony has no weight where they are known,
have readily perjured themselves for the prom
success. Columns upon columns of the vilest
ISLANDERS and most outrageous lies have been di
reced against Mr.. Blaine. but bearing such evil
dent marks of malice and jealousy, and q in
consistent and improbable upon their face. as to
defeat the object in view. No one pretend>
that these calumnies have injured Mr.. Blaine IN
the least. They are sufficiently answered by
the facts that there is not one vote Of Mr..
Blaine's while in Congress. nor Il single ruling
of his while in the Speakers chair but what has
borne the strcte>t scrutiny; while he was con-
frmed as Secretary of State by unanimous
vote of the Senate. The resort to the disrepu-
table methods practiced by the opposition is
not only an admission OF the weakness of their
cause. but their falSehoods. forgerics and black
guardl>m have reacted upon themselves. The
newspapers which have lent themselves to this
sort of work will be heavily mulctcd uccun-
arily. however the election may result; for
while due allowance will be made for honest
differences of opinion, respectable people of
whatever political faith will refuse TO patronize
journals whose columns ale daily an offence
against common decency.

Concerning the journal.

AT no time since the journal has been under
its present management has it had SO many
words of encouragement, or such substantial
evidences of popular appreciation, as now, and
it will be our constant endeavor to merit this
Increasing patronage by adding to the interest
and Usefulness of the paper. Last weeks Is
sue may be taken as an earnest of our efforts to
make the Journal welcome visitor to Waldo
county homes, and to Maine people every
where. 1t contained nine columns-a full page
of news of the city and county, comprising
reports of four local fairs. items from sixteen
towns, shipping news, etc. This matter was
set in nonpariel type and carefully condensed.
In the type used by most of our exchanges, and
differently arranged, this budget of local news
would fill eighteen columns, or two whole pages
of the Journal. But we gave in addition three
columns of editorial. a letter from Our George,
and column of Maine news. making in all
fourteen columns of matter written and pre-
pared for the inside of single issue of the
paper. We do not however. strive for quanti-
ty alone. Our object is to record each week
the news of this city and vicinity, to take note
of every new industry and enterprise, to no.
tice the achievements of our people whether at
home or abroad, and to present this matter to
our readers clearly printed and well arranged,
with the aid in our mechanical department of
the best material, machinery and workmanship.
How well we have succeeded IN these direc-
tons it is for our readers to say.
The outside pages are also carefully edited,
and Often as is the this week, contain mat
ter of local interest. On the first page will be
found a letter from Hon. S. l.. Miiken, re-
ports of the Waldo County Fair, of the meeting
of the Stockton and Prospect Farmers Club,
and notes from subscribers, with the usual de-
partments and miscellany on the first and
fourth pages. While the leading events of the
day will receive attention, and Il summary of
general news is given each week, the naws of
our own State and section will have precedence,
and it is intended to make the journal IA Maine
newspaper in fact as well as in tame. In con-
clusiun we may say that it is matter of pride
that the success of the Journal has been attain
ed by adhering TO legitimate business methods
and fair and honorable competition upon our
past with our contemporaries. Aside from the
questions of morality or courtesy involved we
do not believe that permanent prosperity can
result from underhanded means and the nurs-
ing of feelings of envy and hatred toward bust
ness rivals. The journal, at all events, does
not propose TO deviate from the course indica-
ted, aud thus far it has abundant reason to be
satisfied with the results. Ii seeks no quarrels,
and only asks, what it readily extends to others.

JAMES C.. BLAINE,

FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
JOHN a. LOGAN,
The Victory IN OHIO.
FOR PRESIDENT,


The latest alvices from Ohio indicate Re-
publican majority of from 5000 to 10000 and
a gain of eight Congressman. This is magni-
icent victory. the extent of which can only be
fully realized by review of the obstacles the
Republicans had to encounter. The Cincinnati
Enquirer. in an editorial published before the
election, in which Democratic victory was
predicted. said "Ohio has been handsomely
Democratic at the two State elections last past,
on very large total votes" This is true, and
while all the election machinery was in the
hands of the Democrats they had so gerryman
tered the Congressional districts as to secure
majority of the delegation in the last, and. as
they thought in future elections. But even in
this direction they were defeated this year
Not only did the Democrats have an abundance
of money. contributed by British and American
free traders and the liquor dealers associations,
but a correspondent of the Boston Advertiser
wrote last week. lone thing is pretty gen
orally taken for granted, and that is this The
Democrats are running lot of repeaers into
the State, and particularly into Cincinnati"
There were, moreover local issues and causes
which might have lost the Republicans the
State on Tuesday, without impairing the pros
pect for Il Republican victory in November.
But all these obstacles have been overcome,
and Ohio has rendered her verdict in favor of
the Republican party and Republican princi
pies. The people of that great State have done
honor to themselves. They have set the seal
of condemnation on the forgeries frauds and
fal>ehoods which have characterized the Demo-
cratic campaign and have maintained their IN
tegriv against IA Democratic corruption fund
estimated at hundreds of thousands. The re-
suit in Ohio virtually decides the Pr esdential
contest. This was admitted before the election
by the Democrats. The vote of New York
and of every Northern State is ensured to
Blaine and Logan, with the probability of an
inroad upon the solid South. The indications
are that West Virginia Went Democratic on
TUESDAY. but by greatly reduced majority,
and it is highly probable that it will go for
Blaine and Logan next month. The prospect
is also favorable for Republican victory in
Virginia. But without these States we shall
have electoral votes 10 spare. James Il. Blaine
is to be the next President of the United States.

The Tariff Issue.

The Presidential campaign is drawing to a
close. While the Republican party entered up
on the contest with Il clearly defined platform
Of principles, which its newspaper, and public
speakers have advocated and emphasized, the
Democratic platform is neither fish. flesh fowl
nor good red herring and on the most vital is
sue before the country is interpreted as declar
ing for protection or free trade a. best suits the
eXigencie> of the moment or the preferences Of
Individuals. But while the Democratic party
is divided on this question, the dominant fac
ton is clearly for free trade, as manifested in
the result of The Speakership contest and ia the
composition Of the committees at their national
convention. There has been an effort, how
ever. on the part of portion of the Democrat
ic press, mainly the new recruits, TO keep this
issue out of sight unlil the Democrats can gain
control of the Government, when the work of
destroying our manufactures and of pauperizing
our aboring people could be carried out in &C.
cordance with the wishes Of British manufac-
tuners and the teachings of the Golden club. 1t
is noticeable that the papers which most per-
>istenty declare the tariff not an issue are those
caly to free trade. They do not even call it
tariff reform-a phrase invented to disguise the
real purposes of the free trade Bourbons-but
openly plead the cause of the British manufac-
turers. Still, they say the tariff is not an issue
The American people are too intelligent, how
ever, to be deceived by such tactics. They
know that the tariff is an ISSUE and one that d.
rrctly concerns their future welfare and they
will cast their ballots on the 4th of November

to American industries and the American work.
