The LATEST POLITICAL GOSSIP.

NEw YoRK, September l5.-Phe Sun
says: It is practically settled that Mr..
Blaine is to make q Western trip after his
visit to New York this week. He is pro-
verbally uncertain about his plans for NOV
ing about but the Western trip is as certain
as his coming to New York His probable
route from here viii be over the Pennsyl
yania railroad, making one or two stops
in Pennsylvania. He win first visit Youngs-
town, in Ohio, and from that place visit
in turn Cleveland, Toledo, and Cinciu-
na6. 1t is now thought necessary to de-
wise any scheme as an excuse for Mr..
Blaine's going. He ssil simply go, and
permit those who are inclined to criticise to
make the most 1T. His presence in Ohio
is especially desired to ...- .s...
Wake Up the Western Reserve.
This region has been strangely pathetic
up to the present time. 1t believed that
Blaines visit in person to the State will
STIR up great excitement. and make the
Ohio campaign one Of the most interesting
State campaigns since the war. There
is also 8 general understanding that the
National campaign is to be practically
fought out in that State in October.
The Republicans are feeling much better
about Ohio than they did one week ago.
Since the Maine campaign is over they do
not have so much difficulty in raising
money. Some of the hardest listed and
most reluctant Ohio Republicans have be-
gun to uncoil the straps about their wallets.
Senator John Sherman has felt the stimu-
lus Of this movement of generosity, and has
actually subscribed 800 to the State cam
paign fund All the Ohio Republicans ask
Of the National Committee is money to
meet the cash raised By the Democrats.
This is about all the demand that outside
Republicans will make upon the National
Committee. Ii will be asked TO furnish
Money for Vigorous Campaigns
in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin.
All the organizations in the other States
claim that they will be able to get along
without help.
The presence Of the President and his
Cabinet in New York has specially called
the attention of the politicians to the fact
that this administration, so far as its chief
officials are concerned, is doing nothing to
help along the canvass for Blaine and Lo-
gan.
One of President Arthurs Cabinet ad-
yisers was asked yesterday to explain their
absence of interest in the pending canvass
DO you want to know why the President
is not helping Blaine? The answer to that
question is very simple. He has not been
asked. None ofthe Republican managers
have sought one of US for aid or counsel.
What would you do? Would you have the
President and his Cabinet associates call
upon Elkins and ask him what we can do
TO be useful? | know the President is
friendly to Blaine, but, God bless you, he
is, in a measure, modest about forcing his
attentions upon him.
This gentleman continued to say that he
believed the whole matter was chargeable
to the management of the National Com
mittee. Surely" said he, "Mr. Blaine is
too good politician not to desire our sup
port. We are ready and willing if Mr.
Blaine seeks fit to ask US"
