Sixty-odd prominent Independent and

The New York Nun is enjoying the si

Gen. Butler when in New York the

Nashville boasts that it enters upon the

Connecticut votes upon the question of

The receiver of Grant & Ward has ob

Mr. Blame is said to have advised the
Republic an managers that every doilar

j r 3 mnuberof the Western States
—Wisconsin. Minnesota. Michigan. lowa
and Indiana—the tariff i# the Uadmg
it i not pressed by the Republi
cans. Thev would rather say uoth
thing about it. The Democrats are mak
ing it the leading feature of thecampsign.
All ot tb.se states are largely agricul
tural and the people regard the present
tar ff as extremely burdensome to them.
strong is the sentiment in favor oi
tariff reform that a very large percentage
the Republicans are tariff reformers.
At the l*>t session of Congress all the
K publican C-ngnes*men Imm Minnesota,
except one. voted f *r the Morrison bill.
In tact. Minnesota is practically solid
against the present tariff.
In Wisconsin there are about 15,W
vudintTiu voter*. Almost to a man
they have voted witn the Republicans.
It is believed that a majority of them at
the coming election will vote with the
Democrats. Taey are beginning to uc■
derstand that the protective tariff. w hie.
is sustained t.v the Republican party, is
to their interests, and. hence they
lowing h -nlity to the Republican
party.
In Indiana the situation is peculiar.
At !ea; half • f the manufacturers of Ir
, .tisat uis are oj:-n advocates of a reduc
ti n of the tariff. Their eyes have beer,
;--nt l. they say. to the necessity of a
wider market f r the products of Ameri
can tact. ries. In all of the above nen
t red ctates hundred* of thousands of
and uroents that are calculated to show
the lien- fits which will accrue to farmers
and w.-rkicirmen from a reduction of the
tariff have been scattered, and they are
raving a very marked effect.
The Republicans are doing what they
car. !" mt- 1 the tariff issue in i -alitit s
wh< re they think they have some chance
of making converts, or of holding on I*'
those who aate alwajs acted with them.
But in most localities they do not under
take t talk protection. They avoid the
tariff altogether and endeavor to make a
: canvass on other issues.
Th- I> mocrat# are certain to show im
mense gain* in the States named, and
they may carry at least two of them.
They are all classed as Republican Stat s
with the exception of Indiana, wbieb is
' classed as doubtful, and if none of them
; is added to the I*emoeratic column this
I fail it is certain that seui- of them will
*? added before another Presidential elec
-1 t n. The tariff reform sentiment is re
markably strong in the West ami it is
i growing vigorously.
The Election.
The election throughout the State yes
tnlay was very quiet. There was no ex
citement and no enthusiasm. There was
n -thing to cause either. There was no
opposition to the state ticket, and the con
tests lor the Legislature, except in a very
few l-xalities, amounted to very little.
In this county oniy about half of the reg
iste-red vote was cast, and tie indications
are that not more than a third of the vole
of the state was polled.
Of course the Legislature in both branch
es will be overwhelmingly Democratic.
In thi* Senatorial district there is r.o
doubt about the election of the Democratic
candidate for Senator. The returns from
Bryan and Effingham have not yet been
received, but toe ic-j-ort from one precinct
in Brvan shows that toe vote was very
light. The Democratic candidates for
Representatives in this county were
elected by a large majority. It is to be
regretted that a larger vote was not cast
in the State. A large vote would have
been encouraging to Democrats in the
important October states—Ohio and West
Virginia.
Belva Ann’s Invitation.
Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood, the Presi
dential candidate of the woman suffrag
ists. has given birth to an idea which she
has utilized to firing herstlf into more
gt-neral notice. Candidate L ickwood re
gards with great concern the personali
ties w ith which the campaign is marked,
and she is sad. If she cannot be elected
l*r< sident she thinks that she can do some
good by playing the part of peace-maker,
bhe wants all the candidates £o meet her
in conference at Wheeling, Va., some day
soon for the purpose of seeing if some
thing cannot tie done to “soften the as
perities of the campaign.”
It is probable thai candidate Lockwood
did not conceive this idea of a conference
of the ■ andidates without assistance. The
meeting of the three Emperors at
niwiee lately doubtless suggested it to
her.
If the Li*a could be made practical the
conference would he the feature of this
rt markable campaign. Cleveland, Blaine,
Butler. St. John, Ellsworth ar.d
Lockwood would all be there.
What a gathering that would be!
Of course candidate Lockwood, as the
originator of the scheme, would direct
the ceremonies. Doubtless she would
lecture the assembled standard
bearers on the folly of relying on scandals
for success, and would wind up by advis
ing them all to withdraw in her favor as
the one candidate against whom no scan
dalous word has been uttered, it is hardly
proliatile that the other standard bearers
will accept the charming Belva Ann’s in
vitation. They are old enough now to
know that the smile that may appear the
most attractive may be the smile of a
siren.
Lmi-iana'B Militia.
There isn't as much enthusiasm in mili
tary matters in New Orleans as there was
a few years ago. Members of military or
ganizations there find that there is a heavy
drain on their pockets and great interfer
ence with their occupations without com
pensating advantages, only pride In
their companies have kept many of the
most influential members from resigning.
The break-up in the militia of ihe State,
however, has begun, and it is not easy to
see where it will end. On last Friday
night the Louisiana Field Artillery,
in some respects the finest regiment
in the service of the State, was mustered
out and has ceased to exist. The cause
of this action ot the regiment was the in
ability of the members of the command to
discharge the duties of their various call
ings and occupations and at the same
time to comply with the requirements ol
the State. Last summer there was a po
litical disturbance in the parish of New
Iberia. A lot of officials refused to turn
over the office* they held to those newly
elected, and the Louisiana Field Artillery
was ordered to go to the parish and in
stall those declared to have been elected.
The regiment was gone more than a week.
Of course there was great complaint
among employers, and the business inter
ests of some of the members suffered.
That experience settled the fate of the
regiment.
Another famous command, the Wash
ington Artillery, has appealed to the
Governor to be relieved from all political
duty. It is said that if the appeal is re
fused that veteran corps will ask to be
mustered out. Many of the members are
leading business men and they cannot
risk being called awav from their busi
ness at a moment’s notice to be gone,
perhaps, a week or more. In Louisiana
the State does very little for the militia,
and the militia, therefore, is not disposed
to make great sacrifices for the State.
Mr. Blaine cannot be induced to begin
another libel suit under any circum
stances. The Harrisburg. Pa., Patriot
man who published the statement that
Wm. H. Kemble had shown two checks,
of |7,500 each, which he had paid Blaine
when Speaker to make a certain ruling,
couldn't get the plumed knight to prose
cute him. He was very anxious to get
the evidence in the case in legal form, and
so got a Democratic friend to prosecute
him, and proceeded to take testimony in
the case. Blaine's friends at once
tried, through the District Attorney, to
put an end to the proceeding and to pre
vent the testimony from being taken. They
were evidently afraid to go to the bottom
of the matter.
Mrs. Marietta L. Stow, of California,
has very patriotically nominated herself
to run for Vice President on the Lock
wood ticket, and the equal rights party is
sending out campaign documents in the
most approved sty le. The party is also
soliciting contributions in a way that
•hows that an aggressive campaign has
been determined upon.
The OUI Grader*
Mary of the ablest leaders of the Re
publican party are doing nothing to assist
Biaine. Senator Edmunds has refused
thus far to utter a word in his behalf, and
Cockling, it is thought, will not even
vote for him. Grant has called on him.
but has done nothing else. The men who
did so much to carry New York for Gar
field are net conspicuous in this cam
paign. .
The administration doesn’t appear to be
and >icz anrthing to help Blaine, fk-me of
the minor official* and a number of clerks
are doing political work, but there is none
of the excitement and enthusiasm in the
departments that then was in l*sd.
It is even *id that the President re
fused to put a man at the head of tne
Treasure who would do tne political work
which the Republican managers wanted
done. The appointment of Gresham, if
reports are to be credited, is not at all
satisfactory to the B laineites.
With such a lack of interest among
prominent Republicans, ar.d with a for
midable revolt in the party, it is not easy
to understand how H!air.e is to come any
where near succeeding. Estimates of
New York’s vote five Cleveland a ma
jority all the way from 30.000 to 90.000.
Ot course, no one can tell what the out
come will be, but there are plenty of
signs on which to base an opinion. It is
doubtless Blaine's intention to concen
trate all the strength of the party on New
Yor k soon fcs the October elections arc
over. He may find, however, that the
current of public sentiment is so strongly
against him by that time that he will not
>ie able to check it. If Blaine has any big
guns in reserve he bad better bring them
to the front quickly. He needs all the
help he can get.
A Suggestion to the East Tennessee.
Virginia ami Georgia Railroad.
The East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad train leaves Jesup in
the morning, less man two hours before
the fast mail from the North arrives at
that place, thus depriving the people
along the line of that railroad of the bene
fit of the improved mail facilities. This
train remains at Macon one hour and a
halt. If this delay of an hour and a half
was at Jesup, and was increased a
little, the iteople along the
line of the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia road could have me benefit of the
Northern mail. The additional delay
could easily be made up by quickening
the schedule between Jesup and Macon.
A change of this kind would not conflict
with the East Tennessee, '• irgjnia and
Georgia Railroad’s Florida business, and
would be a great accommodation to the
hundreds of merchants and naval stores
manufacturers located on the line of that
road. It would also increase the travel
from Savannah and the North.

What high jinks there are in politics to be
rare! While Gen. Butler prances up and
down the country telling the dear people how
the jsxir house yawns for them all, and how
the feet of the monopolies—whose fat fees are
distending hi o*u pockets— are on their
necks, Mr. Blaine is telling the same dear
iieople how pros)ierous they are, and how
nrees-arv his election i- to perpetuate pros

compared notes before they started their
partnership in the show business.
An Aggressive Peaceful Policy.
Louisetue Courier-Journal Dern. .
According to one of Mr. Blaine’s organs, the
New York Sun, "a tract has been prepared by

the ijuaker-. the Dunkards and other peace
loving people, giving the history of Mr.
Biatne's action when secretary of .Ntatet in
the interest of a Peace Congress to be held
in this •■ountry.” It is presumed that this
tract is seduiousiy kept from the Irish, who

G. A. Rooms, of Boston, wade a perilous
balloon ascension from North Adams, Mass..
Saturday. The balloon was carried south
over Grevlock Mountain, and reached a
height of 10,000 feet. Mr. Rogers was s af

arms or hands when over Grevlock Mountain.
The balloon rapidly descended and was in
imminent danger of dashing against the rock*

to throw out ballast and ascend again. The
balloon landed safely in Williamstown.
One of the best evidence* that the Ameri
can people of this generation live better than
their fathers did is found in the steady and
rapid growth of the trade in tropical fruits.
It is no; many years since the great majority
of the people scarcely knew what a banana
was, and considered oranges and lemons as
luxuries to be afforded only in sickness or on
great occasions. Now, not only these, but
other tropical fruits, are taught and eaten al
most as generally and freely as apples, and
the consumption of melons, peacnes. pears,
plums and berries is on the same universal
and extensive scale.

The English newspapers still continue to
publish columns of contradictory and imagi
native accounts of the results of the inter
views between the Emperors. The statement
is repeated so often as to be perhaps credible
that one great object was to prepare means
for gradual disarmament. The despots are
saiu to be getting afraid of these vast forces
because of the frightful increase of poverty,
and therefore of socialism, to which they are
leading, and some doubt* are even felt whether
in the coming conflict between the throne and
revolution the troops could be relied on. The
English pessimists draw the conclusion, from
the reconciliation of Austria and Russia, that
Russia has been induced to abandon her de
signs on the Balkans in consideration of her
being allowed to do what she likes against
England in Central Asia.

An audacious thief stole a bar of gold
weighing thirty ounces and valued at 1590
from the office of Messrs. Martin A Runyon,
bankers and brokers, of No. 100 Broadway.
New V rk. a lout 3 o’clock Saturday after
nc*T.. The ibefs was carefully planned and
boldly executed. Mr. Young, a clerk, was
sitting at the e unter. when he was accosted
by - well dressed man about 35 years old. with
s'blonde moustache, and wearing gold eye
glasses. vtho asked to be allowed to look at
one of the dcien bars of gold which lay in the
window. Mr. 1 oung unsus)ie< :ingly"handed
him me bar. The stranger t xamined it care
fully and engaged Mr. Young in conversa
tion about the precious metal. Suddenly
be male a rush for the door, carrying
the tsar of gold with him. Mr. Young, though
more than at? rears old. sprang over the coun
ter and gave chase to the thief. The latter,
however, had got a goo-1 start, and ran into
the C-ntiseutal Insurance Building and up
four flights of sta rs, from the roof oi which
he made go-sl bis escape in - o Pine street by
means ol a 6re-e#ea}-e. The police say that
thev have a clue to the identity of the bold
thief, but Messrs. Martin A Runyon fear that
thev will never see their bar of gold again.
\s an evidence that the rob!-err was planned
tieforehand. it was asc-rtsmed that the thief
earlier in the morning visited the office of Mr
Comstock, on the top floor of the building,
in ! aader pretense of having been sent to ex

use as a means of escape in case of need.

A NEW TLiEYEL,AND SCANDAL.”
An AU*sed Conspiracy to Concoct “Coiu
paign Documents.”
The Buffalo Stv,o ',ay Sites, a Cleveland
paper, printed the pillowing Sunday morn
as the result of an investigation into an
alleged conspiracy to manufacture a
scandal to the disadvantage of the Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency :
"On Thursday. Sept. 24. the following
telegram was sent to the Secretary of the
Republican National Committee at New
York: -I wrote Mr. Blaine in reference to
the campaign documents which affect
Cleveland. In Mr. Blaine’s answer to my
letter he referred me to your committee.
Answer il so important. Signed) Samuel
H. Warren, M. D." This case opens up a
remarkable history of attempted extortion
of money from local politicians:
••The document which l>r. Warren tried
to sell to Mr. Blaine reads as follows:
To the Buffalo Orphan Asylum. Dr.
To board of < leaveiand. from Nov. 1 A to
Feb. 10. lsai. thirteen weeks, at 13 50
per week *33 50
By cash 10 00
Due ...... *33 50
“The name on the bill, as will be noted,
is that of CleavelaDd. The purisise was to
make it appear that Gov. Cleveland was
responsible" for the care of some child at
the Buffalo Orphan Asylum, and was pay
ing its board at the time noted. But it
will be seen that the bill has no date and
names no debtor. The top of the bill was.
in fact, torn off. It had borne another
name—the name of the father of a child
at that time in the asylum, whose first
name was Cleaveland. The following is a
copy of a blank bill:
Bi fealo. . !■—.
Mr.
To the Buffalo Orphan Asylum. Dr.
To board of from to
“The document thus mutilated for the
express puiq>ose of founding a scandalous
story to defame Gov. Cleveland was
the subject of correspondence between
I>r. Warren and Mr. Blaine in June. Mr.
Blaine held the subject under considera
tion three weeks before answering the
Doctor’s letter, and ten days after Gcv.
Cleveland was nominated notified
Warren that be had referred the matter
confidentially to the National Committee.
Tne Halpin story was sprung first, but
the effect reacted and the committee held
off, while the Doctor tried to peddle the
story to the local Democrats. They re
fused to hush it up, and he Is now again
in communication with the committee.
“The records of the Asylum bear this
notice of the child called HJleaveland’ in
the mutilated bill:
Cleaveland Guenther: born Oct. 25, 1883:
entered the asylum Nov, 10, 1882; received
from Frank Guenther; supported by
father. Guardian. Dr. Warrt-n. No. 19 Mil
nor street.
“The book of departures bears a similar
record, ending with these words:
Taken awav March 6,1883. By whom taken
—died. Amount due, *37 40.
It is a story, in brief, of a half orphan
committed to the asvlum by his father,
paid for by him. frequently visited, and at
last laid in the grave by him. All the
charges were paid by the father. The bill
first quoted was one sent him a few weeks
before the child's death. Dr. Warren is
recorded as guardian—that is to say, he
became responsible for the payment of
the expenses, and thus the bill fell into
his hands, though the father paid it.
"Dr. Warren is a Republican politician.
The bill was mutilated by cutting off the
date line and the father’s name. Mr.
Blaine was written to. and three weeks
later he seDt the following letter to Dr.
Warren:
ArarsTA. Me., July 21, 1884. To Dr. sim
uel H. Warren. Buffalo, X. Y. —-IK' I am
directed by Mr. Blaine to thank you tor your
kind note of June JO, which he has read with
interest, and referred confidentially to the
Secretary of the Bepubßcan National Com
mittee. Very trulv vours.
’ Thomas H. Sherman.
Private Secretary.
“A few days ago two other parties were
let into the’ lionar.za. One of these is
Joseph M. Wolford, a Democrat, who
keeps a saloon at No. 154 Broadway. Just
how he came into possession of the docu
ments is not clear. His own statement is
that the Doctor became convivial to help
lessness at his saloon one night last week,
and exposed the bill and letter, which he
took. When the Doctor found out that
Joe had them he demanded their return,
and being relused agreed to let Joe keep
them if he could help sell them. Dr. Don,
a sort of partner of Dr. Warren, then
came on the scene and agreed to
on the terms Warren had menr^, ne( i. <_) ne
of the first told about the docu
ments was Mr. Jame° Fullerton, ex-
Chairman of the Republican City Com
mittee. It is asserted that Mr. Fullerton
on Saturday last offered $250 for the
papers, in Wolford’s saloon, and counted
out the money. Persons who were there
say he did not offer that amount, but that
that was the price talked of, and he said
he would see about it. Fullerton is Wol
ford’s attorney.
“Previous to this alleged offer of $250
Wolford had called on Mr. Bissell. the
Governor’s ex-partner, and showed h.m
what he had. He told Mr. Bissell he had
a bet of SIOO against the genuineness of
the Cleveland bill. Mr. Bissell told him
his bet was safe—there was nothing in the
documents. Mr. Augustus F. iiebeu,
Chairman of the County Committee, also
refused to touch them.
“The doctor kept a close eye on the
custodian of his papers, but did not enter
in the negotiations himself. The Blaine
letter was shown, with the date and ad
dress lines covered, and on Tuesday last
the doctor's name was cut out at his re
quest. Somebody—Wollord says it was
the doctor—telegraphed to the New York
.Sun in Wolford’s name, and ominous
looking telegrams from Charles A. Dana
were shown in the same way as the other
documents, with all hut the signature
covered. They proved later to be com
paratively innocent dispatches, to the
effect that Mr. Dana could not buy with
out examining.’ ”
