A Card.

Folloc- Citesens ofthe Serenh Congressional
District:
regret very much to say thai
the condition of my health at pre-
sent is such as to render it impOssi
BILE for me to enter upon the labor
of an active canvass. l hope, how
ever, to be able later on to meet
with you and to address you, if
possible, upon the issue Of the day,
In the meantime let the work go
bravely on-let every man do his
duty. All elements of opposition to
the BOurbOn-Democracy have now
a splendid opportunity to crush
out this party of hypocrisy and
treachery, ofproccriptiOn and hate.
| take this or = ion to say that
l fully endo' the Republican
platoon adopt dat Chicago, Believ-
ing that Protection not for revenue
only not for public purposes
exclusively but for developing,
building up and sustaining our
mining and manufacturing indu-
stries OF every kind, is what we
need and should have, so as to
prevent American labor from COM
ing in competition with the cheap
pauper labor of Europe-so as to
give to the farmer a home market
for everything he can raise on his
farm. | am in favor of the total
abolition of the internal revenue
system believing that the tarlG
is the means by which all funds
should be raised necessary to meet
the wants of the General Govern
ment.
Very respectfully,
j. B. WEBB.

Chairman Jones received a letter
from one of the leading German
citizens of Cincinnati, a partner IN
one of the largest industrial esta0-
lishments there, in which he gives
the best report of the situation in
Ohio and the intentions of the
German voters: He writes: THE
German Republican wards which
give the largest Republican MAORI
ties are the Tenth, Eleventh and
Twelfth. They will positively give
larger vote for Blaine than they
gave for Garfield in 1880, and bets
are made freely that their aggre-
gate vote will be larger than in
1880. Understand that there is no
kicking among the live men. c.,
the wOrkingmen or merchants.
Put down Ohio 10000 in October,
for the Republicans, and several
times that in November, with a
gain OF four, perhaps six, members
of Congress- The letter also says
that information comes that Fred
erick Hassaurek. the noted German
orator, of Cincinnati, who is the
next best speaker to Schurz in
America, is for the Republican
ticket and will soon be home from

MIR. RIaIme's Traducers.

In that last Mulligan budget is
the letter bearing the date of Oct.
"a, 1871, which the redoubtable
Mulligan swore had been suppress
ed by Mr.. Blaine, and which the
New York Times and other demo
cratic organs of purity have been
calling on him to produce or stand
convicted of having made way with
letter that would establish his
official dishonesty. In vain did
Mr.. Blaine protest that the letter
was not IN his possession, and that
| it was not in the bundle wreSted
from the trembling wretch who
came down from Boston to black
mail him in the name of Warren
Fisher, jr, The organs of purity
knew better. They published
volumes to show he lied, and that
their unsupported assertion to that
effect was proof conclusive of his
guilt.
For eight years Fisher and Null
Gan have allowed the lie to clrcu-
late undenied, although they had
the letter in their hands. In pro-
ducing it at this late day the pre-
cious pair make public confession
to the charge of being liars and
slanderers. By their failure to tell
the truth and exonerate Mr., Blaine
from the unjust accusation affect
ing his honor they fathered the base
SANDER and assumed the response
bility for its being.
And what is this terrible letter ?
1t is a manly letter to Warren
Fisher, demanding of him the full
fllment of his contract in order
that the writer might thereby save
his business credit, which had
been pledged on his faith in the
Boston sharper's promises. 1t is a
compromising letter, sure enough,
but the party compromised is War
rem Fisher, not James G. Blaine.
1t seems almost incredible that a
man of Fishers undoubted cunning
should have allowed it to 60 out
after having suppressed it for so
long a time. He must have been
carried away by his hatred for Mr..
Blaine or lost to his own shame.
Now, will the organs Of purity |
that have been bearing false wit
ness against Mr.. Blaine all these |
years have the manlineSs to apollo
gize to him for the wrong they |
have attempted to do him? PrOba-
bly, not. They will apologize by |
lying with redoubled industry. |
That is the way Ogans of imma-
culate purity make repaTatiOn
usually.

Western Towns Swept Away
by Cyclones.

y terrific storm swept over por.
tons of Minnesota and Wisconsin
Tuesday evening, spreading death
and desOlatiOn in its track. At Ma
rine Mills. Mimi, fifteen or twenty
houses we're wrecked and a number
of persons injured. AT Clayton,
Wis, One-half of the lighter struc-
lures were blown down. At Chip
pewa Falls, Wis, the storm was the
worst of the season. The storm
stuck Clear Lake, Wis, between
and 8 O clock in the afternoon, and
laid half the place in ruins almost
instantly. Three persons were kill
ed and many injured. The path of
the storm was half a mile wide. a
house was taken from its founda.
ton and turned completely around.
A little child was taken in the arms
of the tempest and landed in the
branches of a tree only slightly in
jured. A large frame house was
carried completely out of sight, and
not one particle of the house or con-
tents could be found. The family
had fortunately taken refuge in the
cellar. Many families are left des-
titute. The sheds of the Duluth
railroad were demolished.

Receiving the congratulations Of
his neighbors on the night of the
great victory in Maine, Mr.. Blaine
said:
~ accept with great pleasure
your congratulations on the vote
of this city and the surrounding
towns of Kennebec county. | do
not disguise from you that 1 am
profoundly gratifed with the re-
suit. DESTROYS of the good opin-
ion of all men. l am sure that l
esteem beyond all others the good
opinions of those excellent people
pie among whom l have passed
nearly all the years of my adult
life, who know me intimately from
manhood as fellow-citizen, neigh
Dor and friend
1t was a noble tribute, and all
the more striking and satisfactory
because of the contrast which
shows Cleveland as a "moral
leper,' exposed and denounced by
the clergymen and citizens of his
own city, opposed for nomination
chiefly by the Democrats of his
own State, opposed for election
chiefly in his own State party, and
sure of defeat both in Buffalo city
and New York State.
Cleveland's "RefOrm" is bast-
ard; his domestic policy and prac-
tice, illicit and immoral; his for
eign policy, British. M

no Protestant should vote for him.
All manner of mean stories were

John w. Daniel, who is the Bourbon
nominee for Congress in the Sixth district
was the chief speaker for the occasion, and
is the same Daniel who is booked to can
vass Ohio in October next. You can form
some idea of his speech when toll you he
asserted that Zone Confederate was a
match on the field of battle for four
Yankees" and that whenever the latter
gained a victory it was due to cd DIS of
about that proportions; that the Uni ted
States flag was an emblem of tyranny
and oppression and if Cleveland was
elected it was to be hoped Congress would
see the wisdom of
SUBSTITUTING ANOTHER FLAG
which would not be an ever-standing re-
hinder of the past and its bitter memories,
its crimes, and its follies. Said he ::
"With a new flag and fair pensions for
our crippled Confederates alike with the
sums paid to Federal soldiers, would be-
gin to have some little faith in the oft re-
peated declarations that this is a nation,
and the past is to be forgotten and for
given"
This is the same Daniel who has said /:
at is wrong in principle to tax the rich
to educate the children of the poor"
"That free education is a bastard school
from a free love stock" And who, in
1874, in the Virginia Senate, declared, sin
favor of applying the torch to every school
house in the land"
A proper man verify, to instruct the
people of Ohio how to vote. His coming
amongst you "with classic face and
"sophOmOrc defamation" won't hurt,
nor help; it will be as though he never
came; for like Tucker, he will in less
than ten days "put his foot in his mouth
and then all can see a frst-class Virginia
Bourbon "naked in the land" See him
as he is, living exponent of his party
and his party's principles; yet, honestly
speaking, the best man in party, where
good men are "few and far between"

Mr.. BLAINE, in his speech to his
neighborS last Monday night, call
ed the result in Maine very truly a
Democratic overthrow. Said he:
1.-THE cause of this Democratic
overthrow, gentlemen, is known to
us all. Our canvass has been con.
Quoted on one great issue; our
papers have kept that constantly
before the people every speaker
from every platform has enunciated,
defended, enforced it. 1t is the issue
of Protection to American labor.
The tariff has been almost the only
question discussed in our canvass,
and the people have responded
nObly. They understand the sub
iect fully. They know the details
of the Morrison tariff bill, and they
read therein the precise results
which would follow if our opponents
should obtain control OF the
National Government. They see
and they know that the Morrison
bill enacted into law would serious
ly cripple, if not utterly destroy,
the leading industrial interests of
Maine; that it would reduce the
wages of every laboring man, and
stop every new manufacturing en-
terprise in the State. Seeing this
the people of Maine have protested
against the enactment of so destruc-
tive a measure, and have set the
seal of disapprobation upon the
Democratic party that support it,
AS it is in Maine, so it is in Vir-
ginia. Protection is the great issue
here; it is the great issue in every
State; it is the great National issue

The political situation in this State fast
begins to assume magnificent proportions,
and gives an earnest of the gigantic strug-
gle, the rush and roar Of which will be
heard from the mountains to the sea, only
to be lulled on the ides of November.
Monday was the second Monday, on which
day in twenty-seven counties in the State
the regular sessions of the county quar-
terly terms of courts began, and at each
court house public speaking was by the
county chairman of either one or the other
of the political parties announced to take
place. These ''tilts" generally occur be-
tween the respective candidates for Con-
gress or one of them and some gentleman
specially invited to meet him and repre-
sent the absent candidate; or by gentle
men invited by the county organizations
to address the people who always, accord
ing to the long established custom of
their fathers, assemble on such occasions,
whether they have business at court or
not.

represent all the wealth, virtue, and in
telligencs in the State, and should also
claim all OF almost all of the rascality, is

they now claim contributed much to their
success last fall. This is
