BLAINE's BIG BLUFF.
David A. Wells Calls che Magnet

NORWICH, Conn.,, Nov. S,-David A.
Wells, whom Mr.. Blaine, in his speech
on Thursday, publicly challenged to
name the Republican who gave his
party 100000 during the campaign of
1884. said last night: '.Mr. Blaine and

know, the best of friends. We have
dined together manv times; in fact,
when we are both in New York at the
same time, we always meet for
friendly chat. I reiterate my former
statement, but cannot betray the con-
tidence repoSed in me and name the per-
son. Should do so his name would be
heralded from one end of thecountry to
the other. Mr.. Blaine knows perfectly
well to whom [ refer. Ii there are so
many men who gave the stated amount,
and he does not know the exact one, it
will be only necessary for him to in
quire of his old friends. Steve Elkins
and Tom Platt. They know. probably
ought not to have made this statement,
but as l did, l will stand by it. MIR.
Blaine's object in arraigning me was a
bluff. That was it eXactly-a mere
bluff. Do you think for Il minute that
Jay Gould, Andrew Carnegie and such
men did not give as large an amount to
the Republican party as SlG0.000?" do

The Republican managers in this

wole, that personiication of suavity. and
innocence, smiled with childlike SIM

yesterday that the Republicans would

tain that the seeds of disaffection have
been sown broadcast, and the scathing
denuncation of the head of the ticket
by Albert Scheffer in his speech Friday
evening, has brought forth fruit of a
a most pronounced Democratic flavor.
When such staunch supporters of Re-
pnblicanism as Dan Aberle talk
right out in meeting, 1T is
certain that something will drop with
dull, sickening thud on Tuesday next.

Special to the Globe.
BUFFALO, Nov. 3.-Secretary Of the
Treasury Fairchild made the following
statement to a representative Of the
United Press to-day: Mr.. Blaine is re-
ported TO have used the following words
yesterday at New Haven: Il find that
there have been $10.OO0,000 loaned to the
national banks without interest: | say
loaned to the national banks-the pet
banks-while only S4,5G0,O00 have gone
to pay the debt of the nation during
the past month";" This statement is
false in spirit and equally false in fact.
Over S33, ,000,0 600 was paid out during the
month of October in the purchase Of the
Understanding debt of the government,
and $1,000 of this payment was premium
on the bonds purchased, which premium
is charged as an expenditure of the gov
ernment. The total of the public debt
is always given in the monthly state
ment less the cash in the treasury, con-
sequently the amount by which the prin-
cipai of the public debt is reduced DUR
ing the month is exactly
OFFSET BY THE CASH
WHICH HAS Decl uSou 10 pay SdlO prll-
cipal and the monthly statement of
debt, less cash in the treasury, would
show no reduction whatever in conse-
quence of this payment OF principal,
while as all the premium paid for the
bonds purchased is an expenditure with
no offset in the account, it actually less
ems by its sum the amount of the re-
duction of the public debt. In short,
the ordinary expenditures of the gov
ernment during October were about
nine and half millions less than the
receipts, and that would have been
the amount of reduction of the public
debt in that month if no bonds had been
bought. But~about 2S,0O0,O00 of bonds
were bought at premium of $1,000, 900,
and hence the whole public debt less
cash in the treasury was reduced not
s9.500,000 (Which would have been the
case had no bonds been bought but
only the S9.500.000 less S5,000,00 paid in
premiums, or by S4,500,000. This por-
tion of Mr.. Blaine'S statement was pro-
badly caused by mixture of ignol ance
and mendacity, the rest of it, however,
by mendacitV alone.

Hon. Albert Scheffer Unable to

SDCah 1dSt 1NlSnts
The people who attended Washing
ton rink at Minneapolis last even-
ing expecting to hear Hon. Albert
Scheffer speak upon how William
r. Merriam secured his nomination by
the corrupt use of money were sadly
disappointed, for there was no meeting.
Owing to the fact that the Republican
parade was in progress when the hall
was opened, not over 200 people
put i'm an appearance until after
the hall was closed again. Then
they came by the thousand, and their
disappointment was great when they
found there was to be no meeting.
About $3.50 Mr.. Scheffer drove up to the
rink in hack, to state in person that he
would not be able to speak, as he was
suffering from q severe throat. The
reason for his nOn-appearance upon the
stage was explained to the audience by
Capt. John Wander HOuk.
"Itis very annoying to me that am
not able to speak this evening"" said
Mr.. Scheffer to GLOBE reporter, "but

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-The political cam
paign in Cook county was brought to a
brilliant termination this afternoon by
the Republicans and tonight by the Dem
Ocrats. The immense parade of the Re-
publicans this afternoon continued for
over two hours, and was witnessed by
thousands of people from the windows,
balconies and roofs of every building
along the route, while the sidewalks
and curbing along the entire route were
packed with men, women and children.
The downtown streets were impas-
sable for all grades of traffic from to
5 o'clock, as though hemmed in
and occupied by mighty army. 1t is
claimed to have been the greatest politi-
and the largest parade in point of num-
bers. the number of men in line being
estimated all the way from $4,000 to
10000. But great as was the Republican
demonstration in the afternoon, it was
eaualled, if not exceeded, by the Demo-
cratic out-pouring tonight. The city
appeared as though in complete posses
sion of the

who sw0Oped down upon the business
district like locrfsts. They came from
every avenue and upon all sorts of con-
veyances, 1t was a grand, mad inva-
sion and crush as great as that which
nearly bore Gen. Grants carriage off
the pavement when that great soldier
returned from his trip around the
world. There were great walls of
people in the streets in the
afternoon, but the crowd was so dense
tonight that the police were obliged to
take the middle of the street to keep the
people off the car tracks. At o'clock
cannon doomed Oh the lake front and
one Of the greatest political parades
ever seen in the West began to
move. Fireworks filled the air
and the shouts of the immense multi
tude sounded like the roar of mighty
ocean. Gen. Palmer reviewed the pro-
cession, and for two hours and half
the line fled past the gubernatorial
candidate, it being long after midnight
before the streets were finally cleared.
It is estimated there were $4,000 men.

New YORK, Nov. 4.-Betting on New

At 1 o'clock this morning l heard
a solid Cleveland man bet $1,000 on his

he had pile that he would like to place on

$4,000

$4,000 $500
This gives Wilson a majority Of
10000. and tine estimates are very con.
servative. They are based, in the first
place, on the certain increase of the
Prohibition vote for governor from
5000 to over 10000. They claim $4,000,
and think they are not far wrong. In
the second place, we figure upon the
natural growth of the Democracy and
upon the fact. that Wilson will run
ahead of his ticket by reason of his own
popularity and eminent fitness, and the
fact that there is great Republican dis
affection, as evidenced by the attitude
of such men as Gov. Gilman, Gov. Nc
Gill and Mr.. Scheffer. We believe Mr..
Wilson will run his own majority ahead
of the national ticket, which will push
the Republicans hard.
''In the First district, Judge Wilson
had 9, sos majority two years ago. He
will hold this to a certainty, and NAV
increase it, and E. M. Wilson will run
along with him. The figure is not
high one for the district.
.'The Second district has always been
very heavily Republican, but we have
done great missionary work here. Lind
over 1900 out of it. allow MerrIam
$500, and think it is a very liberal fig
ure. Mr.. Wilkinson has high hopes Of
carrying the district.
''In the Third we will make respecta-
BILE gains. Judge Macdonald will in
crease his majority to 1,50O and Mr..
Wilson will lead him. Our friends
claim $500 in the district, but think
2,20O is very fair figure.
'"rhis district Mr.. Wilson will sweep.
I have an estimate by counties, but for
various reasons prefer to not give it in
detail. He will have 5000 majority as
the lowest figure, and the chances are
that it will reach higher; but put it at
5000.
I'm the old Fifth we are having a
grand swell, and when l say we will
carry it ! know what / am talking
about. Some of the counties will sur
prise the mossbacks who have not kept
track of the growth. We will have
5000 majority. Some of our committee
place it at 5000, but prefer the more
conservative figure of3 900. These es-
Inmates are the results of our best in
formation and are not campaign
guesses. They show what tariff reform
on one side is doing against Doodle on
the other. Mr.. Wilson will be the next
governor of the state"
