country asking them to say why, in their opin-
ion, Blaine aud Logan ought to be elected.
The edition in question contains about twelve
columns Of replies, Quite a number of those
addressed refused to allow their replies to be
published, but from the letters Of those who
were willing to make public the reasons for
the faith that is in them the Traveller has been
able to issue one OF the most notable docu-
ments of the campaign. When such bright
intullccts as those of Gen. John A. Logan,
Secretaries Chandler and Teller, Hon 8. J.
kirkwood, Senators Hale Mitchell, Blair, and
Morrill,, oxProsident WOolsey, of Yale college;

David II. Ella, Hon. Augustus Brandagee, and
u host Of others, Rl distinguished In politics
letters, at the bar, in the pulpit In the world
of commerce, and all in the flont rank of
American public life, essay to give their
reasons for such n conclusion as the one
named by the Traveller, il may well be
imagined that the field Of argument has been
exhausted between them. II ID noticeable
that the women nre not behind the men in
close, cogont reasoning, Mrs, Livermores
letter being model of forcible statement.
In contrasting Blaine and Cleveland, she
says Of the latter: "Thc oilcnses charged
against Gov. Cleveland, and admitted by his
friends, who treat them cayalierly, as not
worth mention, are such rs to exclude him
| from decent society, and forever TO put bar
ricr between him and the presidency. 10 place
Il man in the presidential Office who has
doomed the wrongcd mother of his child toin-
| fanny, aud who permits his unrecognized son
to be reared in n public institution, ignorant
| of either parent, would be an astonishing deed
for tho American people to perform. 1t would
| be n fearful blow aimed at marriage, the family
and the home, which distinguished man from
the BRUTE and which undcrlle the state and
nation.
Col. A. D. Shaw, United States consul ut
Manchester, England, has been making
series Of speeches in Connecticut, the effect of
| which has been such that the national com
| mitteC has sent him to Ohio to speak there
| during this week. Col. Shaw is one of the
brightest and most popular men in the CON
| sular service. His residence in Englands
| greatest manufacturing center has given him
unusual opportunities for observing the differ
ence in tho condition of labor there and here
under free trade and protective tariffs, and his
highly effective way of showing the great ad-
yantages the American worklngman enjoys
over his English brother is spoken of as ex-
trcmely tolling. He will speak at Cincinnati
