CAMPAIGN PICKET SHOTS.
Hon. James q. Blaine visited Philadelphia
last saturday evening and received an ovation
that was simply prodigious. No one building
would hold tenth part of the people who
crowded aud TANNED TO see and hear him.
Three large halls were packed, and Mr.. Blaine
spoke in each OF them. A hundred Thousand
people thronged the streets. yelling themselves
hoarsc for the man from Maine. OF his appear
ance at the Academy the Press says: AT last
the moment came Down the center of the
stage mere thread of cleared gangway, came
Mr.. Blaine-gTayer than at his most recent
public appearance in Philadelphia, but still
with the same electric presence, the same com
prehensive glance the same graceful dignity.
His escorts led him 10 his place, directly in the
center OF the stage. between President Stuart,
of the young Republicans, and Chairman
Cooper. of the State Committee. The audience
rOse-on stage, ia orchestra, in galleries-rose
ss one man, cheercd with a wild enthusiasm
born of a single impulse--the impulse of well
come 10 the most favorite son of his native
State That loud-volumed voice Of welcome
could not be called a cheer, nor yet shout; IL
was one outburst of sound, the roar of the peo-
pie, a combination of sounds, indescribable,
overwhelming iii sound vibrations ever shook
the solid walls and trusSed roof of the Academy
they shook IL then. There could be no mistake
as to its meaning. IL was the aggregated well
come of 5000 hero-wOrshipers, greeting the idol
whom they deemed worthy of honor" During
the week Mr. Blaine spoke at Harrisburg, Pitts
burg and other points, being everywhere greet
ed with degree of enthusiasm almost without
aparallel in the history of American politics.
Abram S. Hewitt has accepted the nomi-
nation of the County Democracy and Tammany
Hall for Mayor of New York city. His cleo
ton is generally conceded, even by Republicans.
The latter have nominated Theodore Roosevelt,
but as the united Democratic vote of the city
exceeds the Republican by 900. there is little
expectation that he will succeed. Henry
George, the Labor cand date, is making Wig
orOus canvass. and promises TO poll large
vote. Naturally the greater part Of this will
be drawn from the Democrats but il is not
likely that Mr. Hewitt will be defeated The
contest is watched with unusual interest.
Ia the charter election in Newark, N. j. last
week, the Republicans carried the city b. 1900
majority and elected 10 out of Is Aldermen
Democrats. The Labor vote was shown in only
two out of the Is wards, and the Prohibition
vote in 0nlyo
In consequence Of general dissatisfaction all
the Republican nominees on the city ticket in
St. Louis have resigned at the request of the
convention which nominated them, and a new
ticket will be nominated.
Alfred A. Taylor, the Republican candidate
for Governor of Tennessee. has become i'll from
his exhaustive tour Of the State aud been forced
90 retire from the stump. Emerson Etheridge
IL advertised TO take his place.
