Governor Hill in Indiana.

Governor Hill, on his way to the west,
is meeting with enthusiastic receptions
and making effective addresses. The
vigorous character of his partisan argu-
ments. the representative position as chief
magistrate and renominee which he oc-
cupies, and the attention which has been
concentrated on him both by defense and
attacks unite to render him one Of the
most conspicuous and aggressive objects
Of the pending canvass. His appearance
In Indiana and in Illinois as an orator for
the party is tactical and gallant act, and
the reflex influence Of it on the cause in
New York will be as great as the direct
effect of speeches at home by him would
be. The intelligence from the interior is
that both Governor Hill and Warner
Miller address meetings of unusual size
and extraordinary enthusiasm. The
countrymen will vote en- masse this year.
The governor stands the wear and
tear better than Mr.. Miller, who
has almost succumbed to neuralgia
attack in the face The Eagle is at q loss
to account for the capacity of Governor
Hill to thrive under labors which break
down his opponent, except ON the hypoth-

sional drinker who is running against him

Said very hard worker in the Demo
cratic cause to an equally hard worker in
the Republican cause, both being good
friends, and Just then standing before
the Hoffman house cafe bar:
'l say, Jack, what Is the matter with
~ the big guns of your party2 None Of
them have taken any special interest in
the campaign and the only man you have
out of any real prominence is Jim Blaine"
Eyes, you are right have wondered

didn't think when we started that we
were going to whip you fellows, but
have about given 1t up. The main props
have taken no interest, and although we
may keep up semblance of enthusiasm,
| feel discouraged myself" replied the
Republican.
An examination of the field shows the
Democrats view to be true. While
Democratic senators have evinced their
fealty to party and principle by most ear
nest labor, the Republican senators and
their principal spouters have sulked in
their tents. If they have opened their
mouths once they have deemed that amply
sufficient. 1t may we'll be asked, Just on
the closing days Of election, Where, oh,
where is the judicial EdmundsH" Four
years ago he would not speak for Blaine.
Does he believe even now that Harrison is
only fgurehead for the "Uncrowned
King?" .|
But while the great Blaine himself is
spouting over trusts in Indiana where are

the judge advocate of the Kansas militia,
who tried chicken thieves In '63, during
the war, and who has blasphemed the
memories Of Mcclellan and Hancock since,
the magniloquent Ingalls, And the 800
words to the sentence William NJ. Evarts,
the pride Of the Republicans, to what
section of the unknown globe has he
emigrated during this campaign? The
ghosts of all the past are yelling for the
whereabouts of Col. Bob Ingersoll
1t does seem singular to Democrats,
and 1t must strike the Republican mind
much more forcibly, that the great talent
Of the G. o. p. has lain dormant during
this battle, and that only second rate and
fourth rate speakers have been sent out.
1t is a mighty poor view of the situation
for these Republicans.
With only Blaine in the field, 1t makes
very sorry appearance. And in reference
to this particular individual, an old Stall
wart, of the spirit of Roscoe Conkling
stripe, exclaimed: 1T would have been a
good thing If the Chinese wall he likes so
well had been built in the center of the
Atlantic before Blaine got back" This Is
very common exclamation among tho
old Stalwarts. The feeling against Blaine
is just as intense today as it was four
years ago, and the fear that Blaine Is
likely to be at the head Of Harrisons gov.
'-nment In the event of the latter's cleo
ton, will force many of them into the
Democratic camp in the present campaign.

Vast Increase In BROOKLYN Registrprion,

The Democracy ought to have nothing
to fear from the immense increment Of
suffrage. The cause of Democracy is the
cause of the people. 1t is cause which,
when rightly understood, commends itself
to every man whose brain is the seat of
thought and whose hands are the forces
of his self support. The national admin
istration has given to the country the fact
and example of good government. The
success of such a good cause In the ma
tion is bound up In the success of the
Democracy in the state of New York. In
the main, the executive government Of
this state has been well administered in
Democratic hands. Mistakes have been
made and are admitted. The mistakes
will be rectifed, If the party be re-
intrusted with power. The Democracy
always acknowledges, in the long run, the
demands of its reform elements. Locally,
the county offices are but large partisan
rewards, for which the presentation of
party favorites is inevitable. The city
offices are places Of business administra-
tion which the present incumbents have
well lfilled.-Brooklyn Eagle.

New York City's Vote.

The Republican calculation seems to be
something like this The total vote Of
New York city will be on Nov. about
100000. Allowing 10000 of this for the
vote Of the Labor and Prohibition candi-
dates, and the Republicans 100, 600, there
will remain 140,0 FOR the Democrats.
That would make Cleveland's plurality In
New York city only II, 900, or, after ad-
ding 10000 which the Republican mana
gers In Brooklyn call the maximum plu-
rality against them In Kings. would show
Cleveland plurality OF but $4,000 to be
overcome by the Republicans In the other
fifty eight counties Of the state. In 1884,
these same counties came within 1,100 Of
overcoming Democratic plurality Of 5S,-
798 In New York and Kings.
Unfortunately for the Republicans, the
Democrats have succeeded during the last
four years In raising their plurality In
New York and Kings from 46, TAO In 1883
to 02,271 In 1887. II the plurality of 1888
is to exceed that of 1887 by just as much
at that of 1884 exceeded 1883, there will
be Cleveland plurality Of 74,000 to be
overcome by the other fifty eight counties
Of the state. This, at least, Is a calcula-
tion based on the law of normal in

Where Log CABINS Flourish.

A party of American Gentlemen,
who had been camping out on an is
land in the great Lake Nipissing, Can.
ada, last summer, were returning III a
sail-boat and were yet seven miles
from port when the sun went down,
and with it the sailing breeze.
A discouragiDg situation, truly.
"Never mind, can row you there
inside of two hours" said the guide
who had charge of the party, as their
murmurs arose
"Why, man, it is seven miles, there
are four of us in this heavy boat--its
big job you undertake." said one.
'No matter, l have done the likes
before and can do it again. cheerful
ly replied the broad d-shouldered Irish
man, as he slowed away the sail and
bent to the oars. He was splendid
oarsman and the boat was soon under
headway again.

Harrison Well Paid.

1t is quite clear that Harrison's services
against the strikers in 1877 cannot be
considered disinterested, even by his most
ardent admirers. He received, It appears,
81 900 for one weeks service, besides pay
as captain of infantry at the rate Of $3.50
per month. He also, as the records show,
profted to the extent of $21 900 by his
services as railroad receiver. No wonder
he was on the side of the wealthy compa-
nies and against their dollar day men. -
