Murat Halstead, in dispatch from New
York to the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette on
the political situation says: sThe average
New York men, if they attempt to go into the
political situation, say that the result is aques
ton of kiekers-there are republican and
democratic kickers, and something depends
upon the hardest kicking, its location and the
bearing thereof. The discontented republicans
of New York appear more formidable when
viewed at distance than close at hand The
five or six we'll known news papers are against
Blaine, though they would naturally take part
against the democratic party, make an impress
sion of public sentiment that is not justified.
There is not one of the kckers who is not suf-
fering for its pains, in business, with the ex-
ception of the Evening Post, which has pecu-
half a century, the most distinguished free
trade publication in the United States
Ex-Auditor Gen. Mccarthy, of New York, a
local democratic leader who bolted Cleveland's
nomination, received q personal letter from
Mr. Blaine thanking him for his pledge of sup
port, Blaine's letter is as follows:
Augusta, Me-, July IA TO Edward Nc
Carthy-My Dear Sir: Accept my sin
cere thanks for your kind letter OF OF
this informal acknowledgement justnow. l
cannot question the right of any man or body
to vote as they elect, but will say that am
heartily grateful to have found a new friend in
your beautiful city. With the best wishes be-
lieve me to be very truly yours,
Hon. Alvin Hawkins, ex-governor of Tennes-
see, says that if the Republicans will exert
themselves they can carry the state this fall
In 1880, he says, the Republicans made net
gain in Tennessee of Il, ,OO votes over former
elections, and the Democrats lost through the
Greenbackers and Republicans about 4, goo
votes. The Republican gains. he thinks, can
be so increased this time as to give them the
ELECTORAL vote of this state.
Judge j. S. O'Conner, formerly resident Of
Washington, and an officer of the old Irish
brigade during the war, writes as follows to 3
friend here concerning the feeling among the
Irish voters of New York City, where the
Judge has been in law business for some time
past:
Referring to the political situation, to q
lookeron it would appear that the backbone Of
the Democrat party here is broken. The dis
affection among our people from the Democra-
of much alarm to the old war horses Of the
party, which was laid, although erroneously,
to our own people No matter where l turn
the success of Blaine and Logan is looked up
on as o foregone conclusion.
Themeeting in Chickering hall New York of
the Irish American Independents was
thorough Blaine and Logan rally and must be
regarded as one of the most pronounced de-
monstratons, so far, of the Republican
campaign The building was crowded to over
flowing, and the assemblage, which numbered
three thousand, enthusiastic as it WAS unani
nous. Merchant, middleman and laborer sat
side by side, and applauded every sentiment of
the speakers, Rev. DR.. Pepper, of Wooster,
O., said they had come together to defeat the
candidate supported by the London times. He
predicted that in November next Gov. Cleve-
land would be buried so deeply that the sound
of Gabriers trumpet would never reach him.
Not one in ten Irishmen in Ohio would vote
for Cleveland. Catholics are all opposed to
him. Ex-Judge Brennan of Sioux City, Iowa,
said he had come fourteen hundred miles to be
present at the meeting The Democrats had
said for forty years because they we're Irish
they must vote the Democratic ticket 1t was
now time to say they would vote the Repubi-
can ticket for the same reason.
Among the more prominent callers at repub-
ican headquarters New York was Senator sabin
of Minnesota. He has been for the past few
days making careful examination of the polit-
ical outlook in the Eastern states, and he said:
II continue moro hopeful Of republican success
every day l live. If the election were to be
held think Mr. Blaines majority IN New YORK
foes alike. The feeling Of personal regard for
him is certainly very wonderful, and the tor
rents of abuse which his enemies have poured
upon him has signally failed of it's mission.
People, think, are tired OF this sort OF cam
paigning. 1t is a method which has sadly out
grown it's usefulness.
Ex-Gov Stone of Iowa says: In my walks
about New York city find that there is no mis-
taking the drift of the workingmen toward the
Republican party. I stop in crowds to be q
silent listener to their talks among themselves.
It is all in our favor, distinct, unmlstakable,
pronounced. They have only to be we'll organ
lied to make the greatest force ever known IN
politics They are enthusiastic too.
Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, says;
I intend to vote the Republican presidents
ticket A man cannot act both without and
within the party; he can do either, but he can
not possibly do both / went in with my eyes
open to do what could within the party; I
did my best to get beaten, and propose to
stand by the result
Mr.. Mcpherson, secretary Of the Republican
campaign committee, says he is much pleased
with the political outlook in New York. The
detection among workingmen, he says is
simply bewildering to the Democratic party.
He had a talk with Frank Hiscock at the
Republican headquarters at New York just
before his departure and Hiscock told him that
the Democrats in the western part Of OF tae STATE
the election could be held now Cleveland would
be buried under Republican majority Of Is,

The Freeman's Journal, the leading organ Of
he Roman Catholics and always staunch
democratic paper, says: Mr.. Grover Glove
land, governor, has made bad record His
ruling that a rich moneyed corporation, by buy
ing up one legislature, constituted itself high
contracting power in treaty with the state, in
place of being, as . corporation, subject to the
state, shows that the passable mayor OF Buf-
falo, failure as governor, would be disaster "a
presidential candidate Whether John Kelly
and Tammany vote for him or not, Mr.. ~Cleve-
land. in sundry matters, has shown himself 80
favoring concentration Of power that demo-
crats. by hundreds of thousands, will refuse
to sunp0rt HIM. on the ground that he is not in
harmony with democratic sentiment John
Kelly for him, or against him, MIR. Gov. Grover
Cleveland is so generally dislked, and what is
worse, despised that he has no show of carry
ing this state against James G. Blaine
A Blaine club was organized at Grand Forks,
OAK, Thursday night, composed of Irishmen,
and mostly Democrats following the example
of their countrymen At Grafton and other
points, Although Dakotans have no vote, the
object of these organisations is to certify to
Irishmen elsewhere the desire of their country
men that Blaine be elected president.
