SIR. Blaine Says Irish-Americans Win Not
Vote with Englano's Ally.
NEW YORK, Oct. 22-The local papers
state that when Mr. Blaine visited Repub-
lican headquarters the ex-Secretary
said he would like to be of further
service in the campaign. He was
trying to decide on the best
plan of assistance which he could adopt
which would not be too great o strain on
his constitution. He admitted that he was
afraid of over-excitement which might
come with great public meeting.
Mr. Blame added that his interest
in the outcome of TIE campaign was so pro-
found and his desire to see the ticket sue
coed so constant that he felt that he should
have to do something more. Mr.. Carter
told him frankly that the committee was
anxious to have him do everything that he
felt was within his power. The CONVEX
sation reverted to the tight in this State
how 10 make weak points strong and
strong points stronger. Mr. Blaine made
certain suggestions about the fight in the
State which will probably be adopted by
the national committee.
The Irish question was taken mp. Mr..
Blaine said that he believed that where
one Irish-American voted for him in 1884
three or four would vote for the national
ticket in 1852. Since the break of the Irish
Americans from the Democratic party
IN his campaign there had been, he sald, an
unfalling trend of them away from tho
Democracy. Two things. Mr. Blaine ex-
planned. had urged on the movement One
was the treatment that distinguished
Irishmen had received from the admins
tration of President Harrison and the other
was the menace which the irish American
race in general must see in the alliance of
theDemocratlc party and I'm gllsh interests.
lrishmen were beginning to see, he said.
that the Democratic party served England
In the most material way, and he thought
that Irishmen had not got reached the
point where they were particularly anxious
TO render England stronger and more COM
petent to pursue an offensive policy toward
Ireland.
Mr. Blaine said he was not disturbed
about the quiet character of the cam
paign. He believed that the. people
were more thoroughly aroused politi-
cally than they had beer for many years,
Notwithstanding the apparent calm. He
had no doubt that the vote would show
bow thorough was the interest in main
tanning the business situation as it exists
to-day.
Chairman Carter and the other members
of the national Republican committee were
at their desks to-day and were kept busy
with callers and correspondence. Ex-Gov-
ernor Beaver. of Pennsy lvania. who paid
his first visit. was engaged by Mr.. Hahn.
of the speakers bureau. to enter the cam
paign. his business interests having pre-
vented him from dong so sooner. DE-. w.
e. Doane. of Union. n. Y. the latest con-
vert to Cleveland. was. within q month,
an applicant to the national Re-
publican committee for assignment
TO speak for Harrison and Reid.
Ex-Governor Beaver said that Pennsyl.
vanIa would lead the Republican column
and that the interest of her citizens was
centared in the neIghboring States. They
were very hopeful of West Virgins and
Delaware. and regarded New Jersey as de.
batable ground.
Col. James Kemple. who for the past
eight weeks has been campaigning in New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut. as a re.
suit of his observations, said to-day thai
he felt that Connecticut would give hel
usual vote for Harrison and Reid. He
brought satisfactory reports from New
Jersey. From his own State. West Vir.
ginial Mr.. Kemple has received the most
cheering news through his correspondents
and is confident West Virginia will 20 Re-
publican. and is assured the vote will be
honestly counted.
