to deliver the goods, with the exception of
a few straggling followers, composing
probably the same crowd that is now
stampeding again from the Democratic

has managed to get a pretty good living in

cock. On being, interviewed Cassidy
stated that the money had been sent to
him from New York for the purpose in

after he had arranged the bets directing
him not to bet a cent of it. Cleveland
stoek had evidently gone up with a bound.
The Fits John Porter veto appears to
have been a two-edged sword, so to speak,
especiallv to Secretary Lincoln and Sena
tor Logan. Mr. Lincoln was deeply in
terested in the relief of Surgeon Pope,
whose bill, ju*t passed, the President has
been obliged to veto for consistency’s
sake. Cspt. Kirby Is a protege of Sena
tor Logan, who succeeded in procuring
the passage of a bill for his restoration,
but. although the President approved the
bill, be now refuses to appoint him. The
President’* show of consistency is prov
ing rather costly to his advisers, and now
the papers friendly to Gen. Porter are all
saving, in effect, that Mr. Arthur might
have saved his friends and his consistency
also it he had honestly stated that his veto
of the Porter relief bill was founded on
personal and political reasons rather than
constitutional objections*
The Second District of Florida.
Neither the Democrats nor the Repub
licans appear to be entirely happy with
the condition of political affair* In the
Second Congressional District of Florida.
Mr. Bisbee secured the Republican nomi
nation for Congress, and he bad hardly
finished receiving the congratulations of
his friends before Walls, a colored poli
tician of some little reputation, sprang
into the arena ana announced that he
thought he could serve the district in
Congress better than Bisbee, and declared
himself a candidate. All attempts to get
Walls out of the Way have failed, and it
looks very much as if Bisbee and It alls
would divide the Republican vote between
them. The Democrats, thinking that they
would have an easy time In carrying the
district with both Bisbee and Walls in the
race, met and nominated Mr. Charles
Dougherty. Nobody denies that he was
the choice of the convention
by a very considerable majority, but
it appears that Mr. Dougherty is not
wholly satisfactory to his party. Mr. St.
Clair-A trams, the editor of the Tavares
Herald, denounces Mr. Dougherty’s nom
ination as one unfit to be made, and de
clares his purpose to use all the means in
bis power to bring about Mr. Dougherty’s
defeat. He says that it is doubtful if
Mr. Dougherty can carry his own county,
and that in quite a number of other coun
ties in South Florida, viz.: Volusia,
Orange and Sumter, there is the most
intense indignation over Mr. Dougherty’s
nomination. Thisas a very sad state ot
affairs. What has Mr. Dougherty done
that the best elements of the party in
Sumter, Orange and Volusia counties
should be so inimical to him? A little in
formation on this point would be
interesting. Has he done anything worse
than beat somebody for the nomination
who was the favorite ol the best elements
in those counties? It is only fair that an
anxious public should be enlightened.
If he is a bad man, or if he isn’t a sound
Democrat, why not say so, instead of
dealing in general terms ? The conven
tion that nominated him has the reputa
tion of having been a very respectable
body of representative Democrats, and it
would be unjust to condemn their work
without knowing the grounds on which it
is condemned. The Democrats of the
Second district must remember that the
Democratic party proposes to have a
majority of the next House of Represen
tatives, and that in order to get a ma
jority it must have the earnest help of
Democrats in every district in the coun
try. Mr. Bisbee carried the Second dis
trict of Florida at the last Congressional
election by a majority less than 300. If
the Democrats act harmoniously they can
carry the district, especially as Mr. Bis
bee has opposition in his own party. If,
however, the Democrats want Bisbee to
represent the district they have only to
listen to those who don’t like Mr. Dough
erty. It is hardly reasonable to suppose
that there are enough Democrats in the
district who are so far forgetful of their
duty to the party as to help elect a Re
publican.
Tlie New Capitol.
The Capitol Commissioners of Georgia
are now coming down to serious work.
The detailed examination of the pro
posals for the new capitol is not a job to
be desired, especially when the figures
are 25 or 30 per cent, higher than they
ought to be to get inside the limit fixed
lor the cost of the building. The lowest
bid made for the whole work is nearly
$1500,000 in excess of the funds available
for building the capitol, after reserving an
amount sufficient to pay the expense of
the commissioners, superintendence, etc.
It is stated, however, that some of the
Commissioners hope by culling the sever
al bids for separate portions of the work
to bring the total cost of the building
within the $1,000,000. It is to be hoped
that they may be successful in this laud
able undertaking.
The Commissioners stand obligated by
their own assurances and by the sentiment
of the people of the State to build the
capitol with the amount named in the
law. It is true that the cost of a
a house, especially of a public building,
almost invariably exceeds the estimates
from 25 to 50 per cent., but the Georgia
capitol is one that the people desire shall
be an exception to the rule.
It is to be regretted that the Atlanta
bidders, who were relied on to have the
capitol built by Georgians, out of Georgia
material, flunked by not complying with
the regulations as to the manner of
making bids. It would have looked bet
ter it they had abstained from bidding
altogether.
Doubtless a majority of the thinking
people of Georgia never expected the cost
or the capitol to come within the amount
appropriated. The proposition to make
an additional appropriation, however,
will not be a popular one, and the
Commissioners will be reluctant to
suggest such a thing. These gentlemen
deserve sympathy just now. If they can’t
whittle out a suitable house from the
smaller proposals, the probabilities are
that they will have to “cut and come
again,” or adopt a less costly plan and
advertise for bids anew.
Tlie First Hale.
There is every season considerable
rivalry to secure the honor of sending 4o
market the first bale of cotton of the new
crop. The first bale has not yet made its
appearance this season. Last year it was
reported in this city as early as July 6,
and in New Y'ork on July 12. The bale
received in this city came from the inter
ior of this State and the one received
at New Y’ork was picked near
Houston, Texas. There were doubts
about the genuineness of the
Georgia bale, aud it was admitted that the
cotton in.the Texas bale was picked be
fore it had matured. As those who are
interested in promoting the cotton inter
ests are desirous otjTv of securing fair
play in the matter of the first bale, the
National Cotton Exchange, at its meeting
at Old Point Comfort last July, adopted a
a resolution in which it was stated “that
the National Cotton Exchange recom
mends to the Cotton Exchanges of the
United States that anew bale of cotton
shall be so classed only when it is fully
matured. That anv cotton found in such
bales not fully matured, shall be consid
ered good ground for its rejection. All
first new bales received from any State
shall be submitted lor examination to the
Committee on Classification at the Ex
change where received, and their decision
of acceptance or rejection shall be final.”
It may that this resolution has had dis
couraging effect on the first bale business.
The honor of having produced the first
bale ought to go to the planter who sends
to market the first bale of mature cotton,
and not to the one who practices a decep
tion. From the action of the National
Exchange it is evidently the purpose to
give honor to whom honor Is due. The
cotton crop is late this year, and it may
be several days before the first bale is
heard from.
Not Lost to Memory.
Republicans who flourished in the South
during the carpetbag era are a long-lived
} race. Every now and then one of these
! ex-office holders “bobs up serenely.” The
last and probably the least of these wor
! thies who has been unwittingly thrust
to the front is Henry S. Wetmore. who
was Ordinary of Chatham county in the
days following reconstruction. Wetmore
is now Admiral Porter’s private secretary.
It appears that Wetmore was %ixed
up in the Naval Medical Bureau frauds,
about which Mr. Hendricks and Mr.
Chandler have just been having a very in
teresting correspondence. The statement
is that Wetmore received 25 per cent, of
the amotfnt tha*onc transaction yielded.
How much more he got, if any,
has not yet been revealed. It is
reported that there is to be a Blaine
and Logan ratification meeting held in
this city at an early day. It might be well
for the committee of arrangements to se
cure the presence of some of the distin
guished Republicans who flourished in
Georgia when that party ruled the State
by the bayonet, and its leaders lived on the
fat of the laud by reason of the exactions
wrung From an oppressed people.

Blaiue Orators and the South.
It is stated that Blaine’s managers are
trying to persuade him to follow the ex
ample of Douglass when a Presidential
candidate and take the stump in his own
behalf. There are doubtless strong argu
ments in favor of such a plan, and per
haps, stronger arguments against it.
Blaine would undoubtedly arouse a great
deal of enthusiasm if he were to take an
active part in the canvass, but it would
he said, and with a great deal of truth,
that such a course indicated a lack of
confidence in his success. All
the talk about Northern speakers
canvassing the South in aid of the Re
publican tieket promises to come to
nothing. What means the Republicans
have, and they promise to be rather
limited this year, will undoubtedly be
expended in the doubtful States. Speak
ing on this point the Sun pertinently
says: “Abusing the South is not so
popular as it was in 1876, and perhaps if
Mr. Blaine goes South it will become even
less so. It is a favorite superstition
among the epileptic Republican organs
that the Southerner is a horrible ogre,
who, after making his breakfast of a
colored baby, gallops to the nearest
settlement and peppers with buckshot all
the Republican men, women and children
within range. If brother Blaine and his
corps of shouters return, hoarse, but
otherwise uninjured, from Dixie’s Land,
the superstition will be a little weakened,
and the Tribune' campaign poets will be
out of subjects.”
The danger to the Republican cause is
verv clearly pointed out in the above ex
tract. The Blaine orators undoubtedly
would be received kindly and courteously
in the South, and would be given a fair
hearing. Such a reception, however,
would destroy the bloody shirt arguments
which are expected to be effective with
Northern audiences. It is safe to assume
that the R, publicans prefer their bloody
shirt arguments, and that they will let
the South alone.
The convention at Chicago last week
proved too much for Chas. 11. Andrews,
one of the Connecticut delegates. Mr.
Andrews became ill soon after reaching
Chicago, and as the physicians could do
nothing for him they advised that he
be taken home at cnce. He said to hi 6
friends that he should never leave Chicago
alive, and made them promise that they
would take his body to his wife. He tried
to kill himself by jumping from the hotel
window. His friends started home with
him, but at Toledo he became a raving
maniac, and was placed in an asylum in
that city, ne is a man of wealth, and is
only 43 years of age. It is barely possible
that the effort to determine how the two
factions of the party would agree upon a
tariff plank was the primary cause of his
insanity.
The Republican Congressional Commit
tee indiscreetly sent out a circular an
nouncing that, “with a view to Jhe thor
ough distribution of such documents as
will advise the country of the objects and
aims of the Democratic party, the Repub
lican Congressional Committee has de
cided to supply committees and all
other persons with such speeches
and documents as it may trom
time to time publish, enveloped and
(when IVankable) franked, if desired, for
distribution, at the following exceedingly
low rates,’’ etc. It has now recalled the
circular, which will be replaced by an
other, “more carefully worded.” Several
thousand which had not been mailed were
destroyed Monday.
It is stated that O’Donovan Rossa is
really very much troubled on account of
the presence in America of Howard Vin
cent, late' Chief of the London police.
•Rossa suspects that Howard is yet a se
cret agent of the English government and
that his mission is to establish in New
York a bureau for the surveillance of
dynamiters. If Vincent is really looking
after dynamiters aud not alter frauds, it
seems that Rossa need not losq any
sleep on his account.
CURRENT COMMENT.
Clear and Emphatic on One Point.
Chicago Timet (Dem.).
There is one point on which the Democratic
platform is clear and emphatic. It demands
a change whereby the Republicans shall he
put out and Democrats shall be put in. On this
point there is never any ambiguity in Demo
cratic platforms.
Randall’s Silence.
Philadelphia Press {Rep.).
Cleveland has made a speech since he got
home, so has Hendricks; Bayard and Butler
talked to an interviewer, and Thurman is not
silent; but Randall lias said nothing. Yet
what volumes of quiet thought lie behind his
silence, and what a deal he must be adding,
in imagination, to the future history of the
Democratic party in this State, and the rise,
progress and fall of sundry Democratic poli
ticians.
Cleveland’s Statesmanship.
Boston Pott {Dem.).
Wc harbor no doubt that Grover Cleveland
could pass a very satisfactory examination in
the ancient history of this government and
country, for his acts have shown that ho is
familiar with the wisdom of the republic’s
sagos and learned in precept and precedent.
Hut he does not live in the past, lie makes
the most that lie can of the present. He is as
patient and persevering as he is honest and
courageous, and he makes it his duty to
thoroughly understand and as thoroughly
execute the highest commissions with which
the.pcople entrust him.
The Cry In the Air.
Baltimore Sun {Dem.).
The cry for reform is in the air, and it has
lieen demonstrated that no substantial re
form is possible without a change in the ad
ministration of the government. W iih hut
two political parties in the field, the only pos
sible change must be in the substitution of one
for the other. The country is at jieace. All
the States of the Union are exercising in their
respective spheres the functions of govern
ment unmolested, the old feuds are dead,
there is now manifested between them a bet
ter spirit of fraternity than there ever was
before, and if reform is to cotne, it must be
through the party that has raised the banner
of reform, and through nutting fresh men in
high official stations and at the helm of gov
ernment.

The real fact, however, is that tortoises have

and a few select flowers; ami sooner than eat
the domestic pests which are generally the
only form of food provided for them, they die

The more revelations are given of the Hesse
morganatic marriage the more curious it ap

who performed the ceremony did not do so
until the Duke produced a pistol and swore
that unless married in an hour he would blow
out his brains. The English Queen pays the
raonev which is to buy off the successful lady,
but the opinion is still common that if the
Duke should carry out his intention of re

The New York Cotton Exchange commenced
Monday to sell print cloths under the “call”
system. Opinion is divided as to the policy of
thus incorporating so novel a feature in the

form of contract will be for 45,000 yards In
1,000 pieces, 64 square, of the grades of best
extra extra ami standard, the fluctuations to
he in 5-100 of a cent per yard, which will make
the smallest fluctuation 42,250 per contract,
or equal to five points in cotton. Margins are
to he subject to the same rules as cotton con
tracts.
A recent cot'BT TRIAL in which Sir John
Ashley, the well-known backer of Rowell,
undertook his own defense, on the ground
that he was too poor to pay an attorney, de
veloped the fact that a large number of the
hansom cabs of London are now owned by
the aristocracy. Sir John himself and the
Duke of Marlborough are partners in one;
Mr. Lowther, another tremendous swell, is
also in the business; and the Earl of Shrews
bury openly displays his coronet and initials
on the large number of hansoms he owns.
This partly accounts for the splendid attire of
the hansom drivers, and for such bold and
startling innovations as the white Holland
which thev now throw over the black of their
cabs so as to protect passengers against heat.

Visitobs to Frankfort-on-tbe-Main this
summer will find that one of the sight* marked
for them to see in the guide books ba* disap
peared. The Judengasse, of which there has
onlv been one side standing since 1877, is now
under a final sentence of destruction. The
street was interesting historically, dating
back to the middle o' the fifteenth century,
when it was the exclusive Jews’ quarter, and
was safely walled in. the gates being shut on
Snndayt and holidays, as well asontheoc
easions of the Emperor’s visits to the city.
It was only in 1808 that these gates were de
molished and the restrictions on the Jews re
moved. Since then the Frankfort Jews have
spread throughout the city. Only the poorest
and most wretched were left in the Juden
gasee. and its destruction will be an undoubted
sanitary improvement.
Sir James Caibd. ib a recent volume enti

in the European wheat market until her 10,-
000 miles of railway have been quintupled
and her transportation rates reduced one
half. Nor will it suffice to put grain into
Calcutta at the same price for which it can
be purchased in New York city, as it must
always cost much more to ship from India
than from here. When Sir E. Baring pub
lished his “Financial Statement” for 1883.
New Yprk had an advantage in the shipment
of grain to England of about $6 25 a ton over
Kurraehee, J3 25 over Bombay, and $7 over
Calcutta. And even in January, 1884, when
Mr. William Fowler prepared the sta
tistics printed in the Xineteenth Century.
the rates gave New York the advantage of
S3 50 a ton over Kurraehee and Bombay, ana
45 25 over Calcutta.
The band of the Madgebnrg Cuirassiers

bandsmen. The Cuirassiers belong to a regi
ment which performed a deed of heroism
paralleled only by the famous Six Hundred.
After the bloody fight on Spicheren Heights
Bazaine was leaving Metz to stand a siege,

A book-' about Garibaldi, just published in
Germany, Bhows that the great Italian lib
erator had German blood in his veins. His
grandmother on the father’s side was a Ger
man. the fact being proved by this extract
from the register of the Churge of Nngge, a
small Prussian village: “Joseph Maria Gari
baldi and Catherine Amelievon Neuhof, mar
ried August 16, 1786.” This Joseph Garibaldi
was the confidential friend of Theodor von
Neuhof, who, after ascending the throne of
Corsica as Theodore 1., sent IGaribaldi to his
old mother at 'Soddenhoh, near Nnggeberg.
There, as now appears, the Italian married
Theodore’s sister, and eventually took her to
Nice, where he practiced as a physician.

“Oh. a great deal. It’s fine sport, and,
besides, one of my customers plays in the
Cincinnati Club.
“Who’s he?”
“Will White, the pitcher.”
“He isn’t much of a player, is he?”
“Yes, one of the best. What made you
think he wasn’t?”
“Whv, I 6aw in the paper the other day
that he’went to sleep while he was play

“Went to sleep? Went to sleep?” re
peated the puzzled son-in-law.
“That’s what I understood.”
“I can’t 6ee how that could be. I never
heard of such a thing. Are you sure you
saw it that way ?”
“Of course 1 am. It said ho was caught
napping on the bases, and if that doesn’t
mean he was asleep, I’d like to know
what you call it?”

SNAKES AND FUSEL OIL.
A Showman Die* from the Bite of One
of Hl* Strange Pet*.
James Reilly, a professional snake
charmer, living at No. 44 Bond street, N.
Y., says the World of July 14, has long
been regarded as an expert in handling
dangerous reptiles, which he exhibited to
admiring crowds at Kyle’s Park, High
Bridge. Yesterday while handling a
large rattlesnake it suddenly coiled its
tail around the man’s arm and fastened
its fangs on Reilly’s right hand between
the thumb and index finger. Reilly was
almost transfixed with horror and
completely lost his presence of
mind. Dr. Meigs Case, of High
Bridge, was called. He took vig
orous measures to counteract the effect
of the poison. Incisions were made in the
flesh near the wound,' trom which the
blood flowed but feebly on account of the
effect already produced on the heart’s ac
tion by the poison. Thei patient aj>-
plied the sucking process to the
wounds, however, and extracted as much
blood as possible.Tbe man was by this time
almost pulseless. Dr. Case administered
a quart of coffee and copious draughts of
whi6ky, which, however, produced appa
rently little effect, and the Doctor ex
pressed the opinion that the case was fa
tal. Reilly was taken to the Ninety
ninth Street Hospital, where he now lies.
The above case recalls that of Reynolds,
a New York man, who was bitten by a
rattlesnake about two years ago at One
onta, N. Y. Reynolds was lifting a snake
from a box when the reptile bit him on
the hand, but the man notwithstanding
this picked the snake up and was again
bitten. Stimulants were resorted to and
blood drawn from the veins near the
wound,which latter was trebly cauterized.
Reynolds was intoxicated at the time.
He swallowed large draughts of whisky,
producing an apparent benefit, which,
however, proved ouly temporary. Within
ten hours after being bitten his entire
arm to the shoulder was swollen terribly
and turned a perfectly black color. Death
resulted in fourteen hours after he receiv
ed the wound. Betore his death such was
the great tensiou on the skin that numer
ous incisions were resorted to to afford-
relief. . .
From the time of his admission to the
hospital Reilly’s condition has been grow
ing worse, his death being not unlikely at
any moment. He presented a horrible
appearance Monday. The right arm—he
was bitten in the hand between the thumb
and forefinger—was swollen to tnree times
its normal condition from the wrist to the
shoulder, and the hand itself would have
made four of the unbitten one. Although
the rest of his body was not
swollen, blotches had broken out
all over him, and they gave
him the appearance of having been
tattooed. Reilly was still conscious, ex
cept at intervals, when he relapsed into a
semi-unconscious state. He apparently
suffered but little pain, as ever since his
admission to the hospital hypodermic in
euons of whisky and ammonia had
n made almost every hour. He expect
orated and vomited blood freely all day,
and was in a very weak condition.
All the physicians attached to the hos
pital have watched the progress of the
poison in the man’s system with extra
ordinary interest, as there had never
been a case of rattlesnake poisoning treat
ed in a New York hospital. No treat
ment for it, except the injections of
whisky and ammonia, is known.
Dr. Spalding, the house surgeon at the
Ninety-ninth street Hospital, was over
run with persons yesterday, who brought
remedies which they warranted would
cure the poisoned man, but as none of
them apparently knew how the remedies
should be applied, they were not heeded.
Finally, however, an individual carrying
a brown paper parcel under his arm and
attired in a suit of blue flannel, with an
open-front blue shirt, brought up sud
denly in front of the hospital steps.
He announced his intention of
curing Reilly, and said he was willing to
go to work at once, and asked to be al
lowed to do so. He would neither reveal
his name nor the nature of his remedy,
but said he came “all the way from York
town, this State, sir, to cure the man,
b’gosh.” He was allowed to retire to the
rear of the hospital, where a small mor
tar, a basin of water and a pint of salt
were given to him at his request. He
carefully unwrapped his paper parcel and
drew therefrom a quantity of green leaves
and roots, which looked like pepper
mint, and which he began indus
triously to pound. After break
ing the mortar carefully into two
pieces, he removed his plants to the door
step, where, with equal energy, he pounded
them with a hammer on the stoue until
he got them reduced to a pulpy state. He
then emptied his pulp and the salt into
the basin of w'ater, and asked to be taken
to Reilly’s bedside. He confidently as
sured the doctors that he could cure the
man inside of three hours. The herbs, he
explained, had been used hundreds of
times in similar cases, and always had
proved successful.
Inside the tent the blus-shirted indi
vidual knelt down beside Reilly’s cot and
plastered his concoction all over the ter
ribly swollen arm, from the wrist to the
shoulder, and put small chunks of ice on
top of the leaves. Reilly made no resist
ance, nor did he seem to know what the
fellow was doing. After the stuff had
been on the arm for almost an hour, and
without any apparent effect, it was taken
off. After waiting until Reilly died the
amateur doctor started wearily for the
train to “Yorktown, this State.”
Among those who called to see the
poisoned showman was Frank Feraldo.
He said he had known Reilly on and off
for 25 years, traveling, sleeping and ex
hibiting with him on many occasions. He
averred that the alleged diamond-back
rattlesnake was nothing more than a
common Florida rattlesnake. He laughed
at Clark’s story about Reilly having
captured the snakes in Mexico, and
said that he (Feraldo) was with Reilly
when the latter bought them in
Pensacola for $2 apiece, and paid dearly
for them at that. They were as veno
mous, however, Feraldo said, as the
genuine diamond-back, and, if anything,
of a more savage nature after having
shed their skin. He told of a case in
which a negro in Jacksonville w T as
bitten by one of the snakes in the
little linger. Almost immediately
after the bite the finger began to
swell, when, with great presence
of mind, the darkey amputated the
finger himself and saved his life thereby.
Very few cases of snake poisoning, Feral
do said, were ever cured, but whisky was
the universal remedy. Amputation of the
member poisoned immediately after the
bite was Bometimes effectual, but it rarely
could be done quickly enough to prevent
the poison from spreading through the en
tire system.
THE PLAN OP BATTLE.
Efforts to Get Blaine to Take the Stump
—The Democratic Campaign.
Plans for the campaign, says a Wash
ington special, are now being rapidly
matured by the leaders and committees
of both parties. The 'most important
move of the Republican committee at this
time is to induce Blaine to take the stump
in person. A great pressure will be
brought to bear upon him to do as
Douglas did in 1860, and make this a
speaking campaign on the part of the
candidates. The plan is, if Blaine can be
induced to accede, to speak in
Boston and Springfield,Mi# I in Hartford,
New Haven, York,
Albany, Buffalo and other cities, il
possible, in New York; Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Pittsburg, V/heeling, Rich
mond, Raleigh, Memphis, Nashville,
Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Co
lumbus, Cleveland, Evansville, Spring
field, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City,
Denver, Detroit, Milwaukee, St. Paul,
and San Francisco, thus taking in all
doubtful States and many that are not
doubtful. It is thought the poople will
travel long distances to hear out ot curi
osity, and that to see and hear him will
have a great effect. At any rate, Logan
will take the stump and will be cha
peroned and feted everywhere by the
Grand Army.
Blaine and Logan are about to have a
meeting in New York, possibly, and then
their letters of acceptance, which have
been withheld to await the appearance of
the Democratic platform, will at once be
given to the public. One thing that
bothers the Republican committee no lit
tle is the distance from each other and
from political centres of Blame and Logan,
the one being in Maine and the other to
be in Chicago in a few days, while Cleve
land and Hendricks are within easy reach
of each other and the National Committee
and on the most important debatable
ground. An effort will be made to induce
Blaine to locate himself farther west for a
time.
The Democrats have done little as yet,
but it is known that they intend to make
a tremendous campaign in the doubtful
States, both with a view to elect the Presi
dential ticket and also to maintain tbeir
hold on the House of Representatives and
to capture a sufficient number of Legisla
tures in States which hold Senatorial elec
tions to convert the Senate into a Demo
cratic body. Then they will not only con
trol all legislation and appointments, but
will reorganize the Supreme Court.
