THE STATE CAMPAIGN.
Why He is for Blaine.

Prince A. Sawyer of Phillips, who was Dep-
uty Secretary of State under Garcelon, has de-
clared for Blaine. In letter to gentleman
in Augusta he says:
shall not vote for Cleveland. He is
not at all my ideal of statesman and if the scan
dalOus stories concerning his private character are
true, he is very far from my ideal OF a man. In
deed if these reports are true, don't see how any
elevatng such man to the highest position within
the peoples gift. Further than this. am in favor
of constitutional prohibition of the liquor traffic
and cannot conscientiousy vote to endorse plat
form which distinctly declares in opposition to al
sumptuary laws" Being in favor of protection to
American labor cannot vote to endorse a platform
which, in spite of all its ambiguity declares sustan
tally in favor of free trade. L have thought
should not vote at all, but now look at the sit
uatlon cannot resist the impulse to say that ex-
We have right to be proud of his record a citi
zen OF our own State, for no one deny that he
has by his own works attained to his present lofty
position.
Wants His Money Back.
The fiery John White of Levant, chairman
of the Straight Greenback State Committee,
has sent the following letter to Scion Chase:
BANGOR, Maine, Aug. 18th, 1884.
am in the city today to protest against fusion in
all It's formss and to advocate in my feeble way the
doctrine taught by your honorable self To my
great surprise find letter from you in the Lewis
repeat your language, but L consider it damnable.
L helped you to press and type to advocate the
principles of our party and If the Journals state
ment is true, which hope in Gods name 1t is not,
l want my money, the sum of $3.50, at once.

Whisky Men in Session.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 1O.-A large meet
ing of the whisky men was held here this
afternoon. Some indignation was express
ed at the delays OF congress in taking up the
whisky bill, but there was a very decided ex-
preston of opinion that the bill would finally
pass. In the meantime it was deemed i'm
portant that the trade protect Itself agains st
loss If the bill should not pass. plan was
proposed, of getting the banks to take the
warehouse receipts of an export company
that should be formed for the
expectation of whisky to British
ports, in the islands of the West Indies.
This was regarded as necessary, in order to
save the tax on January whisky, which must
come out of bonds the next twenty days.
The plan met with general approval. A
committee of seven was appointed to look
after the matter of exporting whisky, and to
see railroad officials on the question of trans
portation, and to meet the bank officers here
to discuss the question of the exchange in
warehouse receipts. The committee
was also empowered to send a
proper agent to Nassau and other
ports to inspect the warehouses there and to
advise on the disposition of the whisky. On
the committee were appointed: George G.
Buchanan, VIM. H. Thomas, Daniel E.
Doherty, julius Barkhouse, II. Richards, j.
s. Danfort, j. M. Atherton. A dispatch was
received from Cincinnati, asking the whisky
exchange to send a committee to that city to
arrange for the holding of mass meeting
to take action on the refusal of congress to
take up the bill. A committee was ap-
pointed.

ISpeclitl IeleRrdIn 10 the SlOOe.
New YORK, March 1O.-Union Pacific had
the credit of saving the market from becom-
ing perfectly stagnant this morning. There
was little scarcity of the stock and at oDe
time cash sales were made as high as 80. It
soon fell off to S01s. The grangers were
rather frail also and Missouri Pacific acted
badly. There was pretty free selling of the
latter and st. Paul. Prices picked up a trife
in the afternoon; the coalers looked
better and the bears become less
demonstrative. Missouri. Pacific seemed
to be in demand at about go,
and Vanderbilt brokers bought New York
Central. The stock loaned at 1-64. The
feeling became weaker at the fnisa, Ru-
mors that the trunk lines were cutting rates,
and that the rates for time money were
hardening, were among the disturbing fea-
lures. There was but little life in the final
dealings and opinions were much at variance
as to the course of the market for the next
few days. The closing quotations in Union
Pacific are eydividend of IA per cent.
Henry Clews & Co. IS circular says: "The
market opened weak and continued so most
of the day. No special feature worthy of
note appeared ON the surface. About noon
there was increased activity and moderate
rally. The stimulus being a report that
Gould would return from his cruise next
Saturday. This started some buying which
advanced prices as long as it continued but
when it ceased so did the improved tone.
Then came reaction towards lower prices
which continued to grow steadily until the
exchange closed.

good, but they tell us again that they will be
very suddenly checked, We don't know
and hardly believe it. At present there is
only big local skirmish fight for position.
Provisions are lower and disgustingly dull. !"
A. M. Wright & Co. say: although the
result to-day has been surprise we see
nothing in the present situation, including
decreasing stocks in this country and float
on the ocean for Europe, coupled with the
additional fact that the consumption there is
largely in excess of the deliveries Of home
grown grain and current imports, to encour-
age selling. The character OF the weather.
which is also an important factor in influence
ing prices is also exceedingly unpromising
for an early spring. The situation is also
further strengthened by an increasing de-
mand for -four for export, the sales in
this market during the past ten
days aggregating over $4,000 sacks.
1t is also well known that northwestern mill
ers, who some time since were free sellers of
documentary sterling bills on London for
March, have not yet delivered their exchange.
AS the sales were made against foreign con-
tracts for flour, it is quite certain that the
property has not yet been made. These fac
tors, while they may not be of sufficient
force to exert an immediate influence on
values, must, we think, largely contribute to
shape prices in the future.
Crittenden & Harvey say: "Provisions have
averaged easier and the market presents no
features Of interest outside of the local
scalping going on. Some Of the prominent
operators are buying on soft places but sell
as readily whenever their buying starts prices
up and they can get out with small profits.
We believe the time is coming when provi-
sions will get another good upturn but think
the disposition of parties in interest is to
work values lower, create short
interest and get the market
in a condition where short sales
will be made with more. confidence. Re-
ceipts of cattle to-day were 5000, while last
Monday they were 1874. The market is
quiet and rather easy. Buyers for the east
ern markets and for export are rather back
ward about taking hold The quality of the
offerings is only fair. About 9 900 hogs were
on the market to-day, which was the same
number as last Monday. Shippers and pack
ers bought quite freely, and for good to
choice heavy paid 5@lOc above Saturdays
prices; common and light were dull and
neglected, with few sales at reduc-
ton. There were 1900 sheep received
to-day. Trading was limited, shippers taking
no active part, claiming that eastern markets
were supplied from Ohio and Canada at prices
lower than they could be from the market.
the feeling among holders was steady and
the few sales made were at former prices.
Among to-days transactions were a lot of 100
averaging 81 pounds, at S5.25; 104 averaging
96 pounds, at S5.65. Common would not
bring over $4@4.50.

CHICAGO, March 10.-Exchange on New York
sold at SOC premium per $1,000. Orders from
