TIE efforts of the Democrats TO
belittle last weeks crushing Repub.
liean victory in Vermont, are as alb
surd as amusing. They call the Re
publican majority of twentyrone
thousand FIVE hundred, crushing
blow to The hopes OF Mr.. Blaine, and
profess to think it has got down to
the freezing point with him. Out OF
a vote exceeding $4,000, the Demo
Gratis polled less shan 10000; the
Gfeaabackers 4S0, and the Inde.
pendents end scattering 1S6. Ac-
cording to theis Eay of figuring, a
Republican vote of two to one is in
dication of Republican defeat. With
8 yell assured majority in advance,
it is not 70 be wondered at that the
poll is not frl} one on part OF the
Republicans. Butthess Democratic
politicians are apparently Iaking
comfort TO themselves that the
licking was not as bad one as
they expected. II they ~ant worse
one, and more OF it, they bass only
to wait until November, when they
will be gratifed.
The pitifully insignificant indie
pendens gcte of 1S6 in the entire
State, is what @g;zzards' the boys.
There has been great beating of
tom toms in the Democratic papers
over the immense Independent vote
that is to be polled against Blaine

CHARLES J. FoLGER, Secretary o.
the Treasury of the United States
died at his home in Geneva, n. Y.
on Thursday Afternoon last. His
death was so sudden that his absent
children could not be summoned to
his bedside.
The death of Mr.. Folger removes
from the public service pure man,
rarely endowed with great integrity
and intellectual ability. His official
career III the Cabinet has been char
acterized by Jealous, conscientious
discharge of duty, so earnestly per-
severed in as to impair his health,
and eventually sap the fountain Of
life. His sudden death will cause a
deep felt regret throughout the entire
country.

THE New York Independent con-
tinues to pour hot shot into Cleve-
land, and to hold him up before the
voters of the country as so morally
infamous that he is not fit to fill any
office in the gift of the people. In
its last issue after reviewing at length
the current charges against his per-
sonal purity, it sums up the matter
as follows;
The Democratic papers. in resort
ing to various forms of apologize
casuistry for the offense, not only
concede the substantial truth of the
main charge, but also the necessity
of making an apology for it, In or
der to break, as far as possible, its
force as an objection to the candidacy
of Governor Cleveland. We, then,
assume as fact, admitted and
known to the people, that, some ten
years ago, Mr.. Cleveland, when he
vas about forty years OF age, was
guilty of the offense imputed to him,
and that he is the reputed father of
bastard son, now living in Buffalo,
and who, to the day of his death,
will be stamped and Inundated
with the disgrace of his illegitimacy.
The question, then, is not whether
God or man will or should forgive
Mr.. Cleveland upon his sincere re-
pentance for this sin, but whether,
with a private character stained with
this disgusting infarny, he should,
bv the deliberate act and voice of
the people, be made the chief mag
istrate of this great nation. That is
the question which every voter must
face. If the facts were not known,
or if there were grounds for a reason
able doubt about them, the case
would be entirely different. The
facts. however, are known. There is
no pretense of any denial or refuta-
tien of the chief facts in the case,
and if the people of the United
States who are in favor of sound
morality follow our advice, they GER
tainiy will not bestow the honors of
the Presidency upon Governor
Cleveland. His election would ar
que a low state of morals among the
people, and be burning shame and
never-to-be-forgotten disgrace to the
nation. No man with such a private
character as is shown in respect to
him is fit to Gil any Office in the gift
Of the peopls.

The Late Secretary FoIger.

WASHINGTON, September, 5.-The
Secretary of State to-day addressed
the following letter to the members
of the Cabinet.
With deep regret / announce to
you that the Honorable Charles ].
Folger, Secretary of the Treasury OF
the United States, yesterday died at
his home in Geneva, State of New
York. Thus has closed the life of a
distinguished and respected citizen,
who by his services as an executive
officer of the United States, and a
legislator and Judge Of his own State
won the esteem and regard of his
fellow-countrymen. The President
directs that all departments Of the
Executive branch of the government
and the offices subordinate to them
shall manifest due honor for the
memory of this eminent citizen in a
manner consonant with the dignity
of the office thus made vacant, and
with the upright character of him
who held it.
To this end the President directs
that the Treasury Department and
its dependencies in this Capital shall
be draped in mourning for a period
of thirty days ; the several executive
departments shall be closed on the
day of the funeral of the deceased,
and that on all public buildings of
the government throughout the
United States the national flag shall
be draped in mourning and display
ed at half-mast.

A PeriIous Ride.

SARATOGA, September 3-Carlot
tas balloon ascension from Congress
Spring Park was accomplished with
considerable peril. A lively breeze
carried the air ship in the direction
of the Greenfield Mountains, which
are heavily timbered. and, conse.
quently, afford no desirable landing
places. Unloading ballast, Carlotta
passed to an upper current, which
carried her in the direction of GAN
sevoort. fourteen miles distant. Sc
lecting favorable spot, she allowed
a portion of the gas to escape, the
balloon descending rapidly. Motto
ing three boys, she called to them to
seize and hold the balloon the mo-
ment it touched the ground. Two
of the lads obeyed her request, when
"a sudden squall drove the balloon
bounding over the ground and fences
for almost mile. In its flight the
balloon described circles fully 80
feet in height. The lads regained
their grip on the basket and were
carried along with speed and at a
height that fairly blanched their
countenances. Nearing heavy
piece of timber, and fearing a serious
accident, Carlotta watched her op-
portunity as the balloon again
touched the ground, and ripped the
Zephyr" the name of the air ship,
open from top to bottom, complete
ly wrecking it. The sudden arrest
and tiattenlng out of the balloon in
sured a permanent landing, and,
aside from slight jar, Carlotta and
the bounding boys escaped injury.
After the color had returned to the
boys cheeks, they remarked that it
was lots of fun"

GEN. BUTLER was member of the
Democratic Committee on Platform
and he outlines it in a sentence az
simply resolutions of expedients tt
catch the votes by indirection, decep
ton. and illusion, not declarations
of those high principles which
should form the basis of the united
action of a great party of the peo,
pie"
Henry Watterson, editor of the
Louisville Courier Journal, was also
a member of the committee, and sal
up with Butler night after nigh

disagrees with Benjamin's views

Democrats should disagree on so in
significant a matter as the Demo
cratic platform

Irish Americans for Blaine.

BURLINGTON, September, 1.-The
Blaine and Logan ratification meet
ing held az Florence tonight turned
out to be an enthusiastic Irish
American demonstration. The town
hall was crowded with Irish work
men, many of whom are employees
in the Florence foundry. The meet
ing was organized by the selection
of George Aiken, prominent Irish
Republican. as chairman. The ora
tor was James c. Corkery, of Tren-
ton, a well-known Irish agitator, who
was formerly an active DEMOCRAT.
Late in the evening several uniform
ed clubs from distant villages, car
rying with them transparencies on
which were anti-Free-trade notices.
marched into the hall amid cheers.
A strong Irish-American Blaine and
Logan club was organized.

THE death of Senator Anthony,
the father of the Senate, is none the
less deplored because it las been ex-
pected for some time. Mr.. Anthony
was not brilliant man, but be was
an intelligent statesman and wise
Legislator OF the stamp which the
country can i'll afford to lose. He
was first elected to the Senate of the
United States in 1859, and by subse-
quent elections has been, to his
death, continuous member of that
body. Throughout this exceptiona,
bly, long Senatorial career, he always
commanded the sincere respect OF
his political antagonists, while he
was affectionately esteemed by the
members of his own party. In the
Senate chamber, where so much OF
his life was spent, his name will al
ways be held in honor.

A Colored Man Fatally Crushed.

On CRY, September 4.-The peo-
Pile of this city well remember an
old colored man named French, who
often came to this city from Plumer
with country produce for sale. The
many runaways INDUCED in by his
spirited team will also be recollected.
Yesterday, at about 8 o'clock, while
hauling a heavy load of wood, the
horses became frightened and ran
away. The old man was thrown
under the wheels, which passed over
him, and his right leg was badly
crushed and his skull fractured.
Drs. Ritchey, of this city, and Tyler
of Housewife, We're called, and found
amputation of the injured leg abso-
lutely necessary. From the effects
of this and his other injuries the old
man has since died.

parts of the peninsula practical an

are greatly interrupted. The Italian
papers lament the spectacle of dis

AUGUSTA. Me, Sept. s, 1854.
The first real fight ofthe campaign
of 1884 has been fought and won
Republicans have ample reason tC
rejoice. The victory in Maine is
more overwhelmingly complete than
the most sanguine dared to claim
Governor Robie has been reelected
by plurality of from 700 to 1S,-
900, the four Republican Congress
men are reelected, both branches OF
the Legislature are Republican by
largely increased majorities, the op-
position failing to elect a single State
Senator, while the Republican coun-
ty tickets have been successful in
every county in the State except one.
The Democrats have not been mere
ly defeated. They have been routed
and driven in confusion from the
field. This glorious victory has a
meaning which the country will not
be slow to see and accept. The Re-
publicans of Maine, the State which
for twenty-five years has honored
and trusted Mr.. Blaine, have not
faltered in their allegiance to their
party and to its candidate, and yes
terday's triumph is but the forerun-
ner OF other victories which will cul-
inmate in the election of Mr.. Blame

The Democracy of Monroe county
is in a badly demoralized condition
Little money is being spent, and the
organization ofcampaign clubs has
been neglected. The detection is
growing. Republicans have organi-
cations in every ward of this city
and in every town. In this county
they have 5000 names on the club
rolls. The Democrats have no clubs
in many wards. Half a dozen
Democratic clubs have announced
for Blaine and Logan. No Repub-
lican clubs have come out for Cleye-
land, The Independents are no.
where. The Democratic headquar-
ters is closed much of the time
