HOW BUTLER WILL WORK.
A Probability that he will De-
feat Blaine instead of Cleve-
land, as he Desires.
Chicago Herald


| 1t is probable that the people who
consider Gen. Buffers candidacy as
especially dangerous to the Demo-
Gratis, and therefore almost certain
to result in the election of. Mr..
Blaine, will awake to the error in
their calculations by the time the
votes are counted, if not before.
Gen. Butler is quite likely to upset
the Democratic kettle of fish in New
York and Connecticut, but every
where else he menaces the Republi-
cans. In the South he will cut no
figure at all. His canvass will be
confined to tho Northern States. IF
he succeeds in gripping things as
he hopes to do, it stands to reason
that the one of the old parties which
has most at stake in the section
which he will invade is liable to be
the one which will suffer most by
reason of his policy of destruction.
Taking this view of the matter the
Herald weuld advise it's Republican
friends not to assume rashly that |
Gen. Butler is candidate in their
interest, for the plainest signs of the
times indicate that his policy,if pur- |
sued to the end, will be much more
dangerous to Blaine than to Cleve-
land. With Gen. Butler an aggres-
sive candidate the reasonably GER
tain and the unquestionably doubt
full States with their electoral votes
will be set down as follows:

In all of these States the Repub-
lican party will be weakened this
year by the Prohibition movement
In Michigan, Iowa and Ohio the po-
litical changes of the last four years
have been unfavorable to the party
in power, and if the drift has CON
tinued in the same direction it will
require but small additional gain
on the part of the opposition to
carry them. OF course, this would
not necessarily elect Cleveland, but
it would insure the defeat of Blaine
by throwing the contest into the
House of Representatives. ItCleve
land should carry all the States
classed above as certain for him the
fusion would have TO carry only
Ohio, Indiana and Michigan to de-
feat Blaine. With the vote of Yves
Virginia gwen to Cleveland, as it
probably will be, fusion or no fu-
sion, the loss of New York alone to
Blaine, even if he carried all the
other States classed as doubtful,
would throw the election into the
House. AS a last resort it is psssi-
BILE that the Democrats may go into
this business extensively, and in the
situation of affairs it would be sur-
prising indeed if they could not
prevent a choice at the polls. The
advantage which they possess over
their competitors in this style OF
campaigning is that they have ev-
erything to gain by it, and the
latter have everything to lose.

Gen. Buffers policy of fusion
with the minority is aimed at Re-
publican majorities everywhere ex-
cept possibly in West Virginia,
where the Greenbackers and labor
ing men and the Republicans al
ready have a very close alliance.
He might on pinch induce the Re-
publicans of Indiana to combine
With him, but this is scarcely to be
looked for. Every electoral vote
which Butler receives will be against
Blaine at any rate, and the support
ers of the latter will not care to be
instrumental in the election of men
who are notorIously opposed first,
last and all the time to their own
candidate The Butler party has
considerable strength In Ohio, Indi-
ana, Michigan, Illinois and Iowa.
A fusion on the terms indicated by
the candidate has been effected in
Michigan and a similar arrangement
may yet be made in the other States
named. AS showing the growth of
the opposition to the Republican
party in these States, a political
force which has only to be combined
to be made effective, the following
table, giving the Republican and the
aggregated opposition vote, exclu-
sive of the Prohibitionists, in several
States will be found of interest:

The demonstration Of Irish
American citizens at the Academy
of Music, New York, on the 28th,
far exceeded the most sanguine ex-
pectations of the organizers. The
great building was crowded and
thousands were obliged to go away
for lack of roem. Mrs. Parnell and
ex-President Hines, of the Land
League, were present. The men-
tisn of Governor Cleveland's name
caused great enthusiasm, and Mr..
Blaine's namewas hooted vigorously.
The meeting effectually exploded
the Blaine bubble so far as the veto
of citizens of Irish blood is concern

he advertised for a rabbit foot, anC
| in few days received one from
| Atlanta, with the statement that il
was the left hind foot. of a grave
| yard rabbit shot on the grave oi
Jesse James at st. Joseph, Mo. A
local jeweler mounted the rabbit
foot in solid silver, with the inscrip-
ton: "To our next President, a
talisman of victory" The trinket
was then expressed to Governor
Cleveland with history OF the rab-
bit foot and it's traditions. Govern
or Cleveland is level headed man,
and the very day he received the
gift of his Eufaula friend he sat
down and wrote a handsome letter
of acknowledgment, in which he
said; 81 thank you for the gift,
and am ready to confess that such
a thing, with such a history, ought
to ACCOMPLISH great results. A let
ter from Eufaula to the New Or
leans Times Democrat says that |
when the Southern negroes become
aware of the fact that Governor
"totes rabbit foot" they
will vote for him in spite of persua-
sion, threats and bribes. The aver
age Southern darky holds the rab-
bit foot in supreme reverence, as
possessing mysterious power for
good to its owner and evil to his
onemies.

wicked and atrocious cruelty with
which John A. Logan pursued the
negroes in Illinois. This is the man
: who is tradueing and vilifying the
South and charging our people with
being slavedrivers and hostile to
the blacks. .Logan's bill selling free
negroes into slavery was monstrous
J IN its provisions; yet, in the face of
such barbarity toward the colored
people who had fed to the free soil
OF illinois for protection, he now
comes forward as the champion of
| the enfranchised blacks He re-
fused the negro shelter in misfor-
tune, but now claims the vote of
the race he proposed to sell into
slavery for the crime of being free
and daring to locate in the free
State of Illinois. Blaine, tattoeed
with his corrupt schemes, is hide
Gus monster. But cartoon repre-
senting Logan on the block auction
eering free negroes and mulattoes
to the highest bidder-selling them
into slavery-because they were
unfit to live as freemen in Illinois,
will present picture still more dis
gusting and revolving. Logan, now
that the negroes are enfranchised,
regards them as "the wards of the
nation';" but in 1853 he regarded it
as "high misdemeanor" for them
to pollute the soil of Illinois with
their presence and proposed to hunt
them down with all the ferocity of
an African slave dealer or the
Southern slave driver with blood
hounds in pursuit of their runaway
negroes, with the view OF making
slaves of freemen who had either
purchased their freedom or been
emancipated by their owners. I'm
der the provisions of Logan's slave
code, if the negroes did not leave
the State in ten days after regain~
ing their freedom they were again
placed on the block and the punish
ment increased by extending the
period of ownership and slavery.
Less than thirty years ago Logan
regarded the negro as a nuisance in
Illinois net to be tolerated, and he
was hunted down like a wild beast.
Ifthe colored people are not lost to
shame and selfrespect they will
cast solid vote against the man
who prosecuted them in the dark
days Of slavery, but now that they
are voters would humbug them into
the belief that he has always been
their friend. 1t has cost the Appeal
much labor to hunt up this damn
ing record. The colored voter will
be 10th to halievA If, hnt Logan aud
his friends dare not deny it is readi-
ly found in the record of the Illinois
Legislature, written in letters which
time cannot obliterate, making
damned spot which will not out.

THE GREEEY DIARIES.
ANOTHER CHAPTER OF SHAMEFUL
-HH REVELATIONS

MOTHER CHAPTER OF SHAMEFUL
REVELATIONS.
WAsHINeToN, Sept 2.-An army
official, who recently read portions
of the diaries of the Greely party,
said to-day that they reveal q more
serious condition of affairs than the
survivors will admit. It seems that
from the beginning of the expedi-
ton there were disputes between
the members of the party. These
led to a division which existed at
the time of the rescue. When found
there were two parties, one in
charge of Sorgt. Long and the other
in charge of Sergt. Rrainard, and
they were living as separately as
two tribes. Greely, while an inva-
lid and during the last few months
of Arctic life, was in the party head
ed by Brainard, who cared for him
daily. The diaries show that steal
ing rations was common practice.
One says that DR.. Pavey stole them
whenever opportunity offered, and
that he sometimes took such as were
apportioned to indisposed members
of the party. At other times when
the men were sent to shoot birds
and were successful, the diaries say
that not all the birds killed were
taken to the camp, but some were
concealed in the snow for the future
use of the hunters. No mention is
made of cannibalism in the portions
of the diaries that have been read,
and the officer who has seen them
refuses to say whether or not any
other member of the party than
Private Henry is recorded to have
been shot. The contents of the
diaries will not be made public until
an investigation is ordered.

THE SEAT OF EMPIRE rs WEST
louisville Courier-Journal.

louisville Courier-Journal.
The thought of the East is narrow
and provincial its methods are the
out growth of an ineradieable dlsN
belief in popular government. Re-
publicans and Democrats alike trust
too much to corporate influence and
the power of money, and too little
to the honesty and intelligence of
the people. The seat Of empire is
west of the Alleghenies, and yet
party managers cannot be made to
comprehend this except in super
fetal way. The Democratic organi
zation especially needs the inspira-
ton which comes from the West it
needs newer blood; its heart needs
to beat in closer and quicker re-
spouse to the aspirations and the
patriotic impulses of the trough,

WHAT IS MORALITY?
New York world.l

The word moral seems to have
been sadly twisted in the American
vocabulary. About nineteen -twen4
tieths of our talented people seem
to have imbibed the idea that in or
der to be "immoral' q man must
have some sort of irregular relation
with woman. If play be pre-
sented upon the American stage
with bold thief for hero 1t will
probably not occur to anybody that
it is an "immoral" exhibition, though
some newspaper critic may advance
to the point of speaking of it as
demoralizing." If the heroine
should be an adulteress, however, or
the hero seducer, the cry will at
once go up: "The play is shockingly
immoral" A Frenchman dIscov>
cred this popularity in the Anglo
Saxon race many years ago.
