No one need fear the result in New York
State. republican Who seems to know
what he is talking about, says the republicans
of that STATE will come down to Harlem
Bridge with 81, 900 majority, and that New
York City will show a wonderful change from
the democratic to the republican side of the
balance because of the Blaine feeling amongst
the German and Irish elements The protec-
ton question which would. at Gar6elds cleo
ton, have made New Jersey a republican
State but for the Morey forgery, will most
probably give it to the republicans this time.
1t NAV be that the South will 90 solidly for
the democrats. But it is not safe for them
to count on this. West Virginia is to be
close State, with the chances this time in
favor of the republicans. There is an ele-
ment there which has for long time leaned
wards independentism. They have become
aware that the democrats Of that State, Is
party, have barred the way to its progress.
Blaine's spirit and intentions they understand
and appreciate. From this class of voters
the republicans will gain large accessions,
and as the State is now close, the result in
November for the republicans is an
exceedingly hopeful one, Florida, to-day,
is an acknowledged close State. From
four to five thousand northern settlers
have gone there in as many years, and
at the last election in 1882, the democratic
majority was only about 5000, and with some
republican defections. Had the party been
thoroughly united the opposition majority
would have been not more than 1000. North
Carolina is even more doubtful, the State be-
ing almost evenly divided between the two
parties in 1882, on representative at large
to Congress. Virginia, too, may be classed
as a doubtful State. Out of these four. at
least, one may be quite safely predicted as
sure for the republicans. But it has been said
that without some break in the southern So
lidity, Blaine will be obliged to carry New
York. This is not true. The republicans
can give their orponeI Is NeW York, and New
.Lrsey and the solid South and then beat
them. Here are the figures, and your read

Ex-Gov. Pla.sted's Opinion.
WHAT he THOUGHT N 1876 OF Mr.
BLAINE.

The democratic organs Of the State
and particularly the Portland Argus. have
begun mud-ninging at Mr.. Blaine at this
early stage OF the campaign. Before they
proceed any farther in the use OF their
squirt-guns against Mr.. Blaine. we
wish they would examine the following
concerning him written by Ex-Governor
Plaisted, the late democratic Governor OF
this State. which may be found in q letter
bearing the date of Washington. May g.
1876:
Blsine will be nominated at Cincinnati,
Remember his. He has given to the party
its present prestige and vintage ground, ana

other 10 enter into his labors.
The mud machine" will not touch him.
He 10 q man instinefireiy right and believe,
will be found not oaly not guilty Of corrupt
practice, but incapable of it. You know 1
have never been q partisan Of Mr.. Blaine
but have seen him here, what he has done,
and know him - never before. Insignincant
are all personal and local squabbles, bicker-
ings and claims. compared with the interest
Maine has in the election of Blaine, Presi-
dent of the United States, and in the bril-
liant administration he is sure to give the
country. The people Of Maine viii give
little heed to such squabbles except TO stamp
them out with as little ceremony as possible.
Very truly your friend,

Massachusetts will give Blaine Big Vote

The following letter has just been received
by gentleman in this city from one OF the
largest dry goods dealers in Boston:
"When the call for a meeting to bolt the
nomination of Blame and Logan was pub
lished this morning it caused great merri-
ment throughout the city. Fully three fourths
of the signers are pronounced democrats who
never voted anything but the democratic
ticket. The balance is composed of free
traders. Their canvassers spent Is minutes
in our own store trying to get signers. but
failed to secure q single one. We had at the
time so men in the store, including propri.
etors. statesmen, clerks and porters. and
every one declared himself as intending to
support the ticket. Have ne fears for Massa-
chusetts'"

m88sacnuScttS independents
The Massachusetts, independents are do
ing the most OF their business upon Dor
rowed capital. They have borrowed . lew
respectable republican names, have Dor
rowed largely from the democratic party
and with borrowed flag have started out
on a mission in behalf Of free trade. for
eign labor, foreign ships, and the cleo
ton of the democratic candidate for Pres
ident. Speaking Of the call for this meet
ing leading Massachusetts papers says !:
"Those who have been accustomed to read
similar calls for previous conferences
cannot fail to be struck with the familiar
look of most of the leading names. We
have seen them before somewhere Is
the instant reflection. II is only few
weeks since that Free Trade League
was formed in this city in response to
public call issued very much as this Is,
and coddled by the same democratic and
acknowledgements organs. That call
had for It's leading signers about the same
group of gentlemen who now figure as
anti Blaine folks. Here we believe. is
the keynote Of this bolt. Strike the tariff
for. revenue only democrats and the
free traders with old republican affiliations
out Of this list of signatures. and there
will not be enough names of influence
and weight left to give it any Importance
whatever"
The meeting held Friday evening, in
the character Of the men. their remarks
and the proceedings correspondent to the
foregoing description Of the signers to the
call. The President of the meeting was
n notorious free trader. who has done all
that lay in his power to destroy our ship
wards and give the building of our vessels
to the British. The speakers were mostly
free traders and democrats, whose chief
anxiety seemed to be in regard to the
democratic nominations to be made at
Chicago. One republican did raise his
voice against going to the democratic
party but was speedily Kissed down. He
made the mistake OF supposing he was in
q republican meeting, but soon learned
his error.
We presume these gentlemen expect to
do great things in the way of making
converts to the democratic party, but the
same kind Of scheme to "raise the wind
has been tried many times and never yet
with success. and this will have no better
fortune than others which have gone be-

Lord Angus, Thou Hast Lied.

Mr.. Theodore Lyman. member of the
House of Representatives from Massachu-
sets, writes to the independent meeting
at Young's Hotel in Boston that MIR.
Blaine's reputation in the State of his
adoption is that of a man accustomed to
use unwarrantcd political methods"
On the same day on which Mr.. Lyman's
letter appeared Col. Y. A. Smith, who
was for eight years secretary of the Maine
State republican committee, of which Mr.
Blaine was chairman. said in public
speech at the Quincy House reception in
Boston: Il knew MIR. Blaine's political
methods for eight years, and I know that
as political leader. as political organ
izer. As a political man. those methods
were pure and upright. have yet to see
the man who knew James G.. Blaine
thoroughly and did not honor him."
We said. long before the appearance of
Mr.. Lyman's letter and we repeat
now Immediately after its appearance /:
MIR. Blaine has been citizen of
this place for more than q quarter
Of q century. His whole life as q man
has been identified with this people.
We have known him in every relation of
life, CLOSELY and intimately. through all
these years, and in every relation OF lite
we say in the presence of his daily asso-
ciates, Mr.. Blaine has had a spotless
career. As husband. father. neighbor.
friend. citizen, businessman. every one
in this community. without regard to party
lines would yield unstinted praise"
Rev, DIR. Webb of Boston. and Rev. DR..
Ecob of Albany. pastors of the Cougrega-
tional church in Augusta of which Mr..
Blaine is member. publicly profess their
great friendship and affection for Mr..
Blaine. their absolute confidence in his

science sake, that he be elected Pres

kept him steadily in her service for
