In his speech at Goshen, Ind, Mr.
Blaine read from the London Times u

his question TO Mr.. Levi r. Morton, the
Republican candidate for Vice Presi-
dent, who as the head Of the firm Of
Morton, Rose u Co., has become the
financial agent Of the English Salt
Trust. Mr., Morton must know more
about the intentions Of this English
salt monopoly with respect to the salt
industry of the United States than any

AND now comes the news that
Ilaine's failure to discuss the tariff in
Chicago was owing TO the influence Of
Joe Medill OF the Chicago Tribune.
Medill convinced Blaine that any
speech In Chicago on the line Of the
Chicago platform would do the party
more harm than good, This accounts
for Blalne's personal TRADE against the
President; his attack on Speaker Car.
Isle, and his foolish charge that the
President had kept Dakota out Of the
Union. II is clearly evident from the
character Of the Republican speeches
now being made everywhere, that the
Republican leaders realize the fact that
the Protection dodge has failed to ma
