RLA1NR's MApIaAN CIRCULAR.

After reading the evidence presented by
the Men Age, of Augusta, Me, it is ap~
parent that Mr. Blaine was either the
auther of the infamous "Madigan circus
lar" or was privy to its publication.
From sworn testimony it appears that the
circular was printed in the office of the
Kennebec J0urna5, that it was taken from
there to Mr. Blaine's house. from which
place it was distributed, and that the ori~
glnal manuscript of the said circular was
in the handwriting of Mr.. Blaine's sccre-
tary. Albany ArguS..

BLAINE's allusion to the destruction of
the inscription on his Oldest child's graves
stone is in very bad taste. Who was in
terested in destroying the date of that
child's birth? Surely none but those who
desired to conceal the fact that the record
of his marriage showed that it took place
in March 1851, while the stone said the
child was born on the 18th of June of the
same year-only two months intervening.

THE FACTS ABOUT OHIO.

From this time on the eyes of all will
be directed to the Buckeye state, seeking
to discover in the election on Oct. 14th,
the drift of public opinion as guide to
the probable result of the greater contest
in November.
All that the democrats can reasonably
expect is to keep the republican majority
within moderate limits. Ohio is as strong
o republican state as Illinois. In fact in
1876 it gave a larger republican majority
than Illinois. 1t has never gone demo>
cratic either in October or November of
presidential year. If it should do so
now it would indicate an enormous ma
jority for Cleveland in the following
month. There would not be half dozen
states on whose votes Blaine could safely
rely.
On the other had should the state go
republican it would only do what it has
always done and would signify nothing in
particular The state has not entered into
democratic calculations at all The dem
ocrats can do without Ohio, but the re
publicans cannot, just as in 1876, when
the republicans carried it both in October
and November and yet Tilden was elect
ed. The only at all doubtful states the
democrats need are Indiana and New
York. With them they will have 207
electoral votes. They could even afford
to lose West Virginia, concerning which
the republicans are making some claims.
1t should also be borne in mind that,
owing to his relations with Garfield, Ohio
has been claimed as one of Blaine's
strongholds. Moreover, there is no re-
publican movement there such as has
shaken up the grand old party further
east.
Under all circumstances anything less
than 10000 republican majority should
be regarded as democratic victory.
