hibition candidate for the Presidency

The New York Herald says pithily that
the Democrats have no reason to be discour-
aged at the result of the Ohio election, but
on the contrary, the Blaine men, it says,
have spent their strength on blow that
hurts them far more than it does their an
tagonists.
Martin Foran, the Democrat who oslipped
through small hole into seat in Congress
from Republican Cuyahoga county, Ohio,
will be curiosity. He wins while all else
is lost to the Democracy by over three thous-
and votes. 1t is said the Worklngmen help
ed him through. He has taken an active
part in their behalf in the local labor troubles.
Daniel McSweeney, the Irish patriot
who spent nearly a year in British Jail
because Mr.. Blaine refused to demand a
trial for him, has arrived in New York
from England, and will take the stump and
tell the people of New York and other
States what he knows about Blaine as the
champion of the rights of American citi-
zens abroad and how he loves the Irish.
The Vermont Prohibitionists met at
Montpolier last week with $50 delegates in
the Convention. The committee on resolu-
tions reported a resolution declaring that
the Prohibitionists had nothing to hope
for from either the Republicans or the
Democratic party on this issue, and they
therefore endorsed st. John and Daniel.
Electors were chosen and State commit
tee of one from each county was appointed.
Ben Butler aspires to the role of eman-
cipator. Here is the way he delivered him
self in speech at Pittsburg, Pa: ''The ne,
pro works for half price because he cannot
protect himself 1t took red handed war to
free the slaves-a war the like of which
was never known before and which filled
the land with blood. Our cause is greater
than the abolitionist. 1t is intended to free
forty million workmen. If it cannot be
done by the ballot, as sure as good God
reigns and our cause is just, so sure shall He
punish the land again by red-handed war
for lettering the white race"
