How does California feel generally on the
question:
california Is Republican, and will give
Harrison and Morton a sweeping nlajority.
The party is in splendid form-not q split or
d;ssension, and it viii win. The interests of
California and of Oregon nre almost idcnii-
cal. and Oregon has simply struck the key
note of the march which the Pacific slope
has sounded for the advance of Harrison
upon the White House. Free wool would
ruin our foremos; industry, and on that
question alone California would go Republic
can. Even with the protection we had, It
required great care and prudence to make it
profitable, but with wool on the free list
there could be no possible hope Of its con-
tinuing.
Tho administration policy will make the
campaign in our State N aggressive one.
The coast is in q prosperous condition now.

know some Democrats think that because
Mr.. Blaine was NOMINATED tual We NOuiu
not work 50 very earnestly. That is o mis-
take. We realize that every vote for Harri-
son is a vote for protection, and every vote
for protection is a vote for Blaine, for We
consider him the embodiment Of the great
principle. No man who is a Blaine man can
do qught but work in line for his policy and
the policy Of the party. Cleveland's vetoes
of the pension bills, his return of the rebel
flags, and his free trade have killed him. |

THE attorneys for the steamboat cap
tain who was recently convicted in Pitts
burgh of selling liquor without license,
took an appeal on the ground that a
State law does not cover the water ways
of the United States. Justice Harlem of
the United States Supreme Court refused
the application for a oertiorari on the
ground that while a State cannot enforce
any law interfering with the free naviga-
ton of the nayigable rivers Of the United
States, yet the sale Of liquor OF board a
vessel which might he passing from one
State to another is not 4 material part of
such navigation. That vessels so engag-
ed must be subject while within the ju-
risdiction of any State to the police reg
ulations which the State might make for
the preservation of good, order among
her citizens.

Garrett is a Crazy Man .

New YoRE, August 1O.-There is little
doub. that Robert CARROTS mind is practi-
cally gone, and that it will be found neces-
sary to put him under constant surveillance
and restraint. DR.. Partridge spent an hoUr
this morning consulting with DIR. Ward over
the case, but left the hotel surreptitiously.
Mr., Cronin, of the Garrett party, said that
Mr.. Garrett was about the same as he was
yesterday. He gets little sleep, and what he
gets is usually superinduced by the liberal
use of morphine. Mr.. Cronin said that it
had not yet been determined when the party
would leave or where it would go.
The clerks in the hotel declared that they
had not heard any of Mr.. CARROTS rawlings
about Jay Gould's pursuing him, but they
were not prepared to deny it. In the pur-
chase of the Baltimore and Ohio telegraph
il is generally known that Mr.. Garrett lost a
great deal of Nancy by Jay Gould getting
him into a corner. This, with his grief at
the loss of his brother, has completely upset
his mind and it is feared that he can never
recover.

The Big Log Raft,

NEw YORK. August l2--The big log raft
which started from Joggins. y. s. on the lst
inst, has been safely landed at New York
having been pulled through Hell Gate on
Saturday by six tugs. The Joegins. as the

Blew up the Weighm aster.

WILKEs3AERE, Pa, Aug. l3.-William
Collier, weighmaster for the Paradise Coal
Company at Pittston, was seated in his
house this evening reading the paper when
he heard some one pass by the side window
and remark. Now let it GO The next
momen there was a violent explosion and
the front porch of the house came tumbling
down. An investigation showed that giant
powder had been placed under the porch
and exploded with aid of a long fuse. There
is great excitement over the affair. There
is no clue to the perpetrators of the bastard
ly deed, but it is believed they were miners
in the employ OF the Paradise Company, who
took a dislike to Collier because, as weigh
master, he locked them excessively. Had
the powder been placed further in under the
porch all the inmates would nave been kill
ed. As it was they lad a narrow escape.
Mr.. Collier is u prominent man in Pittson
and a we'll known Irish nationalist.

A Timely Discov cry.

WILKEsBAnEE. Pa, Aug. "a dynamite
bomb was foand under the wholesale grocery
store of Williams Brothers, East Market
street, this morning. 1, was discovered by
one of the employees. A fuse was attached
which was burning at the time and had it
not been for the discovery an explosion
would have resulted in a few minutes. The
bomb, which is now at police headquarters,
is in the shape of a small tin lamp, soldered
at the bottom where the fuse was attached
with the top screwedon securely. The discov-
cry created great excitement. David Will
Jams, senior member of the grocery firm is a
member of the city council and chirman of
the police committee. Ii is believed that re-
cent appointments to the force have been
obnoxious TO a band of anarchists who hold
weekly meetings here, and who took this
method for revenge.

OrR Democratic contemporaries seem
sadly disappointed that they cannot stir
up Republican jealousies in connection
with Mr.. Blaine's return. In fact they
find that Mr.. Blaine's presence and utter
ances tend TO make Republicans all the
more united and earnest in their admira-
ton and support of Harrison and Nor
ton. Mr.. BIaine's example Of loyal and
sincere devotion to the aus and to its
standard bearers, is a fresh element OF
Republican strength.

THE New York SIN warns its party not
TO put any faith in the assertions that
General Harrison is personally not pop
ular in his own State. 1t produces the
figures of the election of 1876, when Gen
eral Harrison ran for Governor, after Orth,
the regular nominee, had been obliged
10 retire from the ticket owing to disclos-
ures that weakened him. The Republic
can State Committee met and nominated
General Harrison to the vacancy, while
the latter was absent from the State. 1t
was within a short time of the election,
and Notwithstanding General Harrison
had no time to make a canvass, and
Orth's friends were soured, yet heled the
ticket, as appears from the following
vote: Harrison for Governor, 20S,0S0 ;
Robertson for Lieutenant Governor, 206,-
Gal Watts for Secretary of State, 206,7 IA /;
Herriott for Treasurer, 206, 1877 Hess for
Auditor, 2O6,774; Smith for School In
spector, 305,322.
Thus it is seen that despite the disad-
yantages under which he ran, General
Harrison led the ticket and was stronger
than the party.

CLEVELAND, August l9.-Somcthing of a
political sensation was eaased here by the
action of the W. J. Hart Club in DESERVING
the democratic plrty. 1t was formed about
three years ago of prominent Democratic
Israelites in the First ward. They held a
meeting last night, and resolved to desert
the Democratic ranks. II. Levy, the Presi-
dent of the club, expressed the sentiment of
the members when he said that he had look
cd the ground all over and come to the con
clusion that the Republican party is the
party for Israeliies. 1t was decided to form
a First Ward Harrison and Morton Club of
the members of the Hart Club. and a com
mittee was formed TO draft a constitution for
the new organization. The Hart Club was
ma med after a Democratic Justice of the
Peace. 1t numbered about fifty members,
and all but about ten were at the meeting
and changed their politics.

No Widows Concerned II ere.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 12-President
Cleveland, with all his moral courage. has
concluded to run away from the River and
Harbor bill. lie does not like the measure.
but he has rot the courage TO veto it in ii
Presidential year. Mr.. Cleveland's high
morality, which compels him to veto the
pension bills of poor widows, dare not dis
approve a bill appropriating twenty millions
for public works. lie knows that snch ac-
ton might lose him votes in every district
where these Improvements are needed (.
hencs he ignores the bill and allows it to be-
come a law by the lapse of time.
No one will be folled by such action,
but all will feel a measure Of chargin that
the President of this country should adopt
such and exceedingly small hole as the exit
from an unpleasant dilemma.
