Murat Halstead, in q dispatch from New
York to the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette on
the political situation says: s'The average
New York men, if they attempt to go into the
political situation, say that the result is a ques.
ton Of kiokers-there are republican and
democratic kickers, and something depends
upon the hardest kicking, its location and the
bearing thereof. The disconnected republicans
of New York appear more formidable when
viewed at a distance than closea at hand. The
five or six well known news papers are against
Blaine, ~thougathey would naturally take part
against the democratic party, make an imppes-
sion of public sentiment that is not justified.
THERE'S not one of the kickers who is not suf-
fering for its pains, in business, with the ex-
caption of the Evening Post, which has o pecu-
Iarly solid constituency, and has been for
half a century, the most distinguished free
trade publication in the United States.
Ex-Auditor Gen. Mccarthy, of New York, a
local democratic leader who bolted Cleveland's
nomination, received a personal letter from
Mr.. Blaine thanking him for his pledge of sup
port, Blaine's letter is as follows:
Augusta, Ne, July Ito Edward Nc
Carthy-My. Dear Sir: Accept my sin
cere thanks for your kind letter of
congratulation. l regret that I can make but
this informal acknowledgement justnow. 1
cannot question the right of any man or body
to vote as they elect, but l will say that l am
heartily grateful to have found a new friend in
your beautiful city. With the best wishes be-
leve me to be very truly yours,
JAMES G. BLAINE.
Hon. Alvin Hawkins, ex-governor of TeAnes-
see, says that if the Republicans will exert
themselves they can carry the state this fall.
In 1856, he says, the Republicans made a net
gain in Tennessee of $1,000 votes over former
elections, and the Democrats lost through the
Greenbackers and Republicans about %, EGO
votes. The Republican, gains. he thinks, can
be 80 increased this time as to give them the
ELECTORAL vote of this state.
Judge j.. s. OConner, formerly a resident of
Washington, and al officer of the old Irish
brigade during the war, writes as follows to a
friend here concerning the feeling among the
Irish voters of New York City, where the
judge has been in law business for some time
past:
Referring to the political situation, to a
lookeron it would appear that the backbone of
the Democrat party here is broken. The dis
affoctiop a p,opnN arr naon1a FROM, f1n fAar,ooc,-
tic ranks IL something wonderful, and q cause
of much alarm to the old war horses of the
party, which was laid, although enormously,
to our wi people. No matter where I turn
the success of Blaine and Logan is looked up
on as 0 foregone conclusion.
The meeting in Chickcring hall New York of
the Irish American independents was a
thorough Blaine and Logan rally and must be
regarded as one of the most pronounced de-
monstrations, so far, of the Republican
campaign. The building was crowded to over
flowing, and the assemblage, which numbered
three thousand, enthusiastic as it was unani-
nous. Merchant, middleman and laborer sat
side by side, and applauded every sentiment of
the speakers, Rev. DR.. Pepper, of Wooster,
O., said they had com together to defeat the
candidate supported by the London tines. He
predicted that in November next Gov. Cleve-
land would be buried 80 deeply that the sound
of Gabriel's trumpet would never reach him.
Not one in ten 1rishmen in Ohio would vote
for Cleveland. Catholics arc all opposed to
him. Ex-Judge Brennan of Sioux City, Iowa,
said he had come fourteen hundred miles to be
present at the meeting. The Democrats had
said for forty years because they were Irish
they mnst vote the Democratic ticket. 1t was
now time to say they would vote the Republic
can ticket for the same reason.
Among the more prominent callers at repub-
lican headquarters New York was Senator Sabin
of Minnesota. He has been for the past few
days making careful examination of the polit-
ical outlook in the Eastern states, and he said:
81 continue more hopeful of republican success
every day I live. If the election were to be
held / think Mr.. Blaines majority in New York
at least would be a surprise to his friends and
foes alike. The feeling Of personal regard for
him ls certainly very wonderful, and the tor
rents Of abuse which his enemies have poured
upon him has signally failed of its mission.
People, l think, are tired of this sort of cam
p~aigning. 1t is a method which has sadly put
grown its usefulness.

Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, saws;
I intend to vote the Republican presidentia
ticket. A man cannot act both without and
within the party; he can do either, but he can
not possibly do both. l went in with my ewes
open to do what I could within the party: /

Mr.. MCPHERSON, secretary of the Republican
campaign committee, says he is much pleased
with the political outlook in New York. The

simply bewildering to the Democratic party.
