How it Looks Now.

Yesterday gentleman, who is thorough
ly well informed about the currents of po-
litical sentiment in Massachusetts, and who
has had large experience in politics, said
that Blaine and Logan would carry the State
by between thirty thousand aud forty thou
sand majority, that unquestionably there
would be important changes in the constitu-
ton of parties, and the number of those
who have formerly voted with the RepubIi-
cans but will not support the presidential
nominations and are likely to drift into the
Democratic ranks is large, but that the num-
Der of votes lost would be made up to the
Republicans two or three times over by men
who will this year for the first time vote for
D Republican President. The changes that
are going on in both parties are remarkable;
but the result will be large accession to
the Republican voting strength, and the es-
Enlistment of its control of the State by
larger majority than it has been able to show
in recent years.
Another gentleman with whom we had an
interview yesterday has, since the Republi-
can National Convention, visited most of the
States between the Mississippi river and the
Atlantic, including some of the States
which are commonly reckoned as part of
the solid South, and he entertains no donbt
that Mr.. Blaine will be elected by a surpris-
ingly large majority of the popular vote.
Outside of New York Cleveland is compare
lively an unknown man whose name pro-
vokes no enthusiasm among the people.
"Whe is this man Cleveland?' they ask of
every one whom they suppose likely to be
able to give them any information. Why
they should be asked to vote for him for
President of the United States they do not
understand. They are SO queer that they
Z tn nix that man nominated for the Office of
President of this Republic ought to have
had some experience in national politics, or
at least should have given some indie .tion
of acquaintance with the great questions of
national concern. The people are rather in
favor of having President who knows
something about the duties of the office.
These judgments of two unusually COM
petent and observing gentlemen are in line
with the tidings which come from many
sources. One accustomed to anayze the
tone and trend of newspaper discussion will
hardly fail, upon a review Of what the news
papers of the country of various political at
tachments are saying, to come to the conclu-
sion that the Republicans have every reason
for confidence. Everywhere the masses of
the people have received the Republican
nominations with favor, and they are al
ready voluntarily organizing to work for
their success. Probably never before in SO
short time after the convention, and before
the opposition had begun to find out what
sort of man their leader is, was there such
thorough preparation for the struggle. The
committees find large part OF their work
done beforehand by enthusiastic and earnest
citizens who see clearly what is involved in
the campaign and are moving of their own
accord to secure and protect the great inter-
ests which a Democratic administration
would threaten.

The Prohibition Parity

In spite of his declination in advance.
which had every appearance of sincerity,
the National Convention of prohibitionists
nominated Ex-Governor st. John of Kansas
for President yesterday. Four years ago
General N al Dow was the candidate of this
party and received about 10, 900 votes in the
whole country. Yesterday, while the Ma
tional Convention was in session, he was
calmly advocated before a not very large
audience at Old Orchard the proposed pro-
hibition amendment of the constitution of
this State. 1t is well understood we believe
that he does not approve of putting in the
field national ticket Of The prohbitionists
this year, being quite satisfied with Mr..
Blaine as bis candidate for President.
Perhaps this party ticket will get as large
vote this year as it did four years ago, and
perhaps not. If General Dow's example
and influence guide those who have so
long regarded him as their wisest and BRAY
est. as well as their most distinguished, lead
er, it will not receive five thousand votes.
The futility of agitating for prohlbitory
amendment of the National Constitution by
means of third party when the Republic
cans present candidate so well disposed to
all reasonable methods of restraining and
preventing the liquor traffic as Mr.. Blaine
l., appears clearly to a large number of in
telligent prohibitionists, and may have had
something to do with Gov. st. Johns disin-
clination to be a candidate. Rev. VIM. M.
Thayer Of Massachusetts has written a very
sensible letter to Gov. st. John, calling up
on him not to accept the nomination, argu-
ing forcibly that if the separate prohibition
party coold defeat the Republican party by
independent action 1t would gain nothing
for prohibition and put in peril all other
great policies of national importance which
Gov. st. John and himself as Republicans
desire to advance.
We suppose that, next to Neal Dow, Gov.
st. John is the most popular prohibitionist
in the nation, but he will get small vote
and probably not 100 in this State. It is
significant the campmeeting in progress
this week at Old Orchard has virtually
ignored the national convention in session
in Pittsburg. The fact is that while there
are great many voters who consider prohi-
bition the true and only efficacious remedy
of the evils of intemperance. the number of
those who are willing to vainly sacrifice
every other issue of politics to this one is not
largo

1t is tnile late IN the week now but the
Guides art editor didn't get around to it be.
fore and he's not to be driven. The Kinau Of
last Tuesday bore away into the twilight shad-
ows Of the Molokai Channel Hawaii's most
famous visiting artists, Mr.. Charles Furneaux
OF Boston and Mr.. Joseph Strong Of San
Francisco. Strange though it may seem, these
distinguished gentlemen had never before met
There have been several explanations Of this
rather surprising circumstance, the following
being considered by their intimates as the
most satisfactory in all particulars. Mr.. Fur.
neaux besides being landscape painter Of
extended and extensive reputation is conchol-
ogist, iossilist and an osteogcnist Of no mean
ability. All the time that he can spare from
art Mr.. Furneaux dcvotes to the study OF living
growth Of bone ; and on the several occa.
sions Of Mr.. Strong's calling. was either absent
from his studio, OF so absorbed in his favorite
occupations as to be content to leave the hos
FATALITIES to his palette boy. Mr. Strong has
his hobbies also. Besides being portrait
painter Of graphic strength and finished deli.
cacy, he is one Of the mos, muscular young
Christians, for his inches, in ALI this muscular
burg. His boxing II not Sullvanis,ic is at least
more than kipikonan, his swimming and
diving recently enabled him to rescue from a
watery grave the presen, athletic governor Of
Oahu !; and his foil aud broadsword fencing is
better than barb wire. BY happy coinci.
dence, both took passage on las, Tuesdays
Kinau, Mr.. Furneaux for Hilo and Kal, his
fellow arts, for Maizena, Bay and Ulupalakua.
There happened to be mutual friend on
board--whom modes,y forbids the art writer
to mention--and he determined to make them
acquainted. So approaching the San Fran.
eiscan he said ! ''Do you see yonder small
but distinguished-look gentleman" "What,
tina, urbane appearing person who looks like a
middle.aged patriarch y "Yes, that's Mr.. Fur.
neaux." Indeed Glad I've seen him y
Not discouraged the mutual friend sauntered
over to where Mr.. Fumeaux sat, one eye on
the serrated crest Of Wsianae, the Other on the
opaline tints Of the ever-ehanging harbor.
"Do you see tina, robust, knock you out in.

slyly managed that their nasirssses should be

- possible and lay down between them.
After they had turned Ia, the mutual friend
slyiy slipped out wi.hou. the notice Of either.
