fense of Mr.. Blaine.

ern New York and portions of Ohio than
either Blaine or Cleveland, and feels conf
dent that his vote throughout the country
will reach one million.
An enthusiastic Blaine paper, of indie.
pendent proclivties, warns the party that
Tammany's swinging into line means mis-.
chief for the Republicans. 1t adds "The
Maine victory has doubled the difficulties
| in New York, Ohio, and Indiana, where we
are only now prepared to begin the cam
paign."
AT the Prohibition State Convention OF
Rhode Island, held in Providence on Fri
day, twenty-five towns were represented.

Blaine's own town-WhO sold their votes.
1t is disgraceful story to all concerned.
- Democrats in New York report the
outlook as growing better and better every
day for Cleveland. One of the signs is the
formidable Independent movement that
has sprung up in the business exchanges,
where Cleveland and Hendricks clubs are
being formed. The one in the Produce Ex-
change numbers 730 members. Two hun
dred Republican members of the Stock EX-
change have signed the call for the organiZa-
ton of an Independet Cleveland club in the
exchange.
- 1t is Mr.. Tilden's purpose to make his
response to the resolutions Of the Chicago
Convention the occasion of his last political
deliverance to the country, and 1T would
have been given to the country before this
time had he been able to prepare it. He
is now slowly regaining strength, and it is
expected that he will be able to prepare
his address in favor of honest government
before the close of the present week or very
early next week at the latest. He will
make an eloquent and searching appeal to
the country for the election of Cleveland,
and the Republican leaders now more fear
the coming Tilden deliverance than any
other one factOrin the contest.

Delaware, held at Dover, on the 23rd ulti-

present canvass will insure reform in the
administration, economy in the eXpendi-

prosperity to the country and happiness to
the people Of every section.
