Sharp Trick.

A New York Times Cincinnati special
saws: Much comment was csused in pollt'
zeal circles by the appearance on the fifth
page of the Commercial Gazette of a column
of matter fercely denunciatory of Blame.
The column was headed, in heavy black
letters, 1.-The Independent Republicans"
and a second heading, in smaller letters,
was as follows: New Journalistic Enter
prise-l'he Independents Hire Column OF
The Commercial Gazette-Whatt the Mulllgan
Letters Are-How They Came Out"
The article opens UP Is follows: 'Ihe
Independents have no organ i'll Cincinnati.
The Commercial Gazette is for Blaine be-
cause the Commercial Gazette is repnbli-
can organ, and must be for the republican
marty, right or wrong. But the Commercial
Gu=eiie remains a newspaper, opening It's

hope by making this column not the least
interesting in the paper, tn largely Increase
its circulation" The article then proceeds
with n discussion of the Muliigan letters.
Republicans were amazed at its appear.
ance, and it is said that one of the local
leaders of the party telegraphed to Mr.. Hal
stead IN New York, to ask what il meant,
| and why it was permitted. The column
| fell under Mr.. Blane's eye, and it comes
pretty direct hat he felt it keenly, and asked
if it could not be stopped. On Change,
Democrats laughed over it, and republicans
confessed their surprise that so staunch
Blaine organ as the Commercial Gazette
should have admitted such matter to its
columns at any time, much less on the
morning of the demonstration in Mr..
Baiue's honor. 1t wonld destroy, they say,
half the advantage which the party had de.
rived from Mr.. Blaipes visit. It is explain
ed at the Commercial Gazette Office that the
matter was admitted by the business de-
partnent and did not fall under editorial
supervision, and that there will be no more
of it.
The gentleman who edited the matter
which appeared is understood to be Law
renee Maxwell, an attorney at law. at is
purely local movement" he said '"The
gentlemen who called on Schurz are the only
ones interested. They have assumed the
expense, and have appointed committee
to furnish the copy. There will be series
of articles, possibly until the elections are
over. am not at liberty to say what the
expense is, as private contract has been
made with the Commercial Gazette There
is not great deal Of writing to be done. 1t
is more compilation of quotations. We
feel that the Mulligan letters have never
been brought fully before the public, and by
them in the Commercial Gazette
they will reach class of people who would
not see or understand them otherwise"

the place, but recently returned and stopped
at hotel Last week a church social was
held at Osborne's house, and in the hrst
issue of his paper following it Richards
made some very harsh comments about the
affair. Osborne became enraged and vowe d
