WAsHIxGros, ID. c., August l0.-The
arrival Of Mr.. Blaine in New York to-
day was the principal topic Of converse
ton ct the Capitol, and the influence he
will exert on tho campaign was the
general subject OF discussion. Tho
Eastern Republicans generally seem to
think that he will take an active and
energetic part in the canvass, and that his
speeches in support OF high tanf
VIII have a great effect on the masses,
particularly upon the workingmen
Of New York, New Jersey, and Con-
necticut. Some Of thom claim that
his Efforts will secure these States
for HARRISON. Western, aud psrtlcn-
larry northwestern, Republicans seem -
take less stock in the "Pinmed Knight, "
and few Of them do not hesitate to ex-
press the opinion that Mr.. Blaine would
better keep his mouth shut on the tarlf.
A Michigan Republican this morning
said Mr. Blame couldn't elect him
self, and don't see why he should elect
Harrison. In my State We don't want
any high.tariT speeches, and if that Is
The kind he is gong TO make | hope he
will give Michigan a vide berth The
New York Democrats DO not seem
TO be much alarmed at tue pros
pect of Blaine's carrying that State.
Pubhc-Printer Benedict, who has Just
returned from there, says there Is
no doubt tb2t the State will go for
Cleveland hnd Thurman. 'Thls talk OF
Democratic stampede to Harrison Is
the merest bosh, said he. Just wait I'M
til Hill Is renominated, rs he surely vii
hs, for Governor, and you viii sec the
Democracy OF the Empire state more
united and enthusiastic than it has ever
been since the tidal-wave for Tilden.
There is no truth III the report that there
is bad feeling between the President
and tho Governor. The Republican press
and the MugWumps would ike 30 have
1t SO, hut am happy 60 say thoy Will be
disappointed
II seems probable now that Senator
Morgan's motion to postpone the vote
on the fisheries treaty 70 next session
may be carried. A great many kepub-
Lem senators IRE absent aud "a senator
on that side said to-day that he feared Il
would be impossible to get them hack 20
| Washington in time to defeat the mo-
ton. he expressed his opinion that no
action would be taken on the treaty tins
session.

bill 0ppropriating sl00,Ou0 for public
building st Mar,ilsburg, ". Va.
Nr. springer gave notice that he would
