BLAINE’S BITTEREST FOES'
INDEPENDENTS MAKING HIS DEFEAT
A CERTAINTY.
Their Work More Vigorous than that
Done by Both of the Regular Cam
paign Committees Combined -
The Old Stalwart Half-
Breed Fight to be
Renewed.
Special to the American.]
Washington, Aug., 20. —While ilie
democratic and republican campaign
committees are doing very little for lack
of the necessary money the independ
ents of New York are reported to be well
equipped with money, and at once wise
and liberal in its expenditure A demo
cratic congressman, who was at the dem
ocratic headquarters to-day, said that the
New York independents were doing more
work than both the old committees put
together. He said; “They have had
200,000 copies of Carl Schurz’s speech
printed in both German and English and
are distributing it in all directions, not
only in New York, "Wisconsin, Ohio and
Kansas, but everywhere that the German
vote is worth seeking. They have gone
into the work with a will and a determi
nation unequalled by either of the regu
lar organizations, and, taking advantage
of then’ knowledge of the republican
plans and methods, are doing all in their
power to defeat Blaine. They have had
a large number of copies of the resolu
tions passed by the Young Men’s Inde
pendent Republican Club of Brooklyn
printed, and are circulating them freely
The ablest men at the head of the move
ment are giving their personal attention
to the campaign work, and are contrib
uting everything that their knowledge
and ability and their money can furnish.
They are determined to defeat Blaine,
and are sparing no means to secure that
end. They are working like Trojans,
but they are working on their own hook,
and independently of the democratic
committee. Outside of the state they
are working among the Germans chiefly.
In the state they are using all their pow
er in the way of argument and influence
to foster the natural antagonism between
the stalwarts and the Blaine elements;
and they are going to revive Blaine’s
letter, which was published during Fol
ger’s campaign for governor, in which
the Maine statesman advises that the
Garfield republicans of the state remain
at home on election day and allow Fol
ger to be beaten. This, it is understood,
they will circulate, together with the
statement that Blaine sought to defeat
Folger because he knew that if the stal
warts got the ascendency in the state he
could not get the support of ‘the ma
chine’ to secure his nomination at Chi
cago.; and they will appeal to the stal
warts not to make themselves tools in
the hands of a man who sacrificed them
once and slaughtered their candidate to
promote his own personal ambition.”
Malarial Poison.
Rome, Ga., May 23, 1883.
In 1880 I came from the north to take
charge of the gas works in Rome, as su
perintendent, and after the overflow,
which occurred in the spring following,
I was very much exposed to malarial
poisou, and in 1882 found my blood so
contaminated with the Jkuson that I was
forced to give up business. I was treat
ed by the Rome physicians without re
lief, they advising me to go north, which
I did. The doctors north told me that
my only hope was to return to the mild
er climate, and accordingly I came back
to Rome, completely broken down and
nearly a skeleton. My trouble finally
determined in an abscess of the liver,
and nearly every one (myself included)
thought I was doomed to die within a
few days. In this condition I was advis
ed by a friend to take Swift’s Specific,
and I took it just as a drowning man
would catch at a straw, but as soon as
my system got under the influence of the
remedy, the abscess came to a point and
burst, passing off without pain. In fif
teen days after this I was up at my work,
and have since enjoyed excellent health.
Every sufferer from malarial poison
should take Swift’s Specific.

Mr. Blaine has made his own canvass.
He has chosen his own issues. He is
not a man unacquainted with political
life, as Grant was on his first nomina
tion. He is not a dummy, like Hayes.
He is admitted to be one of the shrewd
est of politicians; and it is quite fair to
assume that he is his own general, and
that he has not placed himself passively
in the hands of his “managers.” There
fore we have a right to believe that the
lines on which his campaign is conduct
ed are of his own choosing. He has
only himself to blame if the lines prove
to be ifi-chosen.
TO THE OtYXF.RS OF MIMKU. PROPERTY
GENERALLY, TIIKOI'UIOIT
THE STATE.
In our display of the natural resources
of the state, at the World’s Industrial
and Cotton Centennial Exposition, which
opens in New Orleans, Louisiana, De
cember 4th, 1884, we dtsure to have
every mineral property in the state rep
resented by the best specimens that can
be had. We have no appropriation, and
merely funds enough to take charge of
such as may be sent in by parties inter
ested in the development of these re
sources. Our time, moreover, is so lim
ited as to admit of no delay, and we hope
that those parties will get out and at
once put into the hands of the commis
sioner for his county such specimens as
they may desire to be shown at New Or
leans. This circular will be seut to you
by snob commissi jter who will address
his name and post- iflice on its back for
your reference. After delivery to him
he specimens will be forwarded here to
headquarters free of all charge to you.
Iron ores, asbestos, corundum, fire
clays, kaolins, pyrites, etc., etc., should
be sent in quantities not less than a half
barrel.
Marble, buhr-stones, building stones
and the like, should be dressed to the
uniform size of 12x12x6 inches, ready to
be polished, for which arrangements
have been made in this city.
Soapstone should be nicely sawn in
slabs 2 ft. by 1 ft. by 6 inches, and
packed in straw to prevent the chipping
of corners, etc.
Orchids, kaolins, shell marls, etc.,
which cannot be sent in lumps, should
be forwarded hi large flour sacks.
Mica must be packed very carefully
to prevent bruising.
We will be glad to have also any small
hand specimens of any minerals whatev
er. These will be mounted in handsome
glass cases, illustrating the general min
eralogy of the state.
These minerals will be shown to the
world at New Orleans, and afterwards
turned over to such state departments as
may be properly authorized by the leg
islature to receive and take care of them.
It is hoped that this move to exhibit
our resources and keep them where they
may be shown at any time to capitalists,
will meet with universal favor, and that
the people will promptly respond, so that
all specimens may be received in Atlanta
by October Ist. Your county commis
sioner will supply you with tags with
which to tag your barrels, boxes or bags.
Mark on each the full name of the own
er, his post-office and the number of the
lot. The samples will all be conspicu
ously labelled this way at New Orleans,
together with the complete analysis.
In Southern and Middle Georgia val
uable oclires, fire-clays and shell-marls
abound, and we expect first-class contri
butions of these samples from the sec
tions named. Your very prompt atten
tion is necessary, as there is no time for
delay. Very respect fully,
N. P. Pratt,
Geologist in Charge State Mineral
Collection for New Orleans.
“Tel! the truth!” —Grover Cleveland.
And the truth is told. An honest man,
a useful and upright citizen, a trusted
and trustworthy public official, the life
long friend and servant of the people,
has been assailed with an accusation so
cruel, immoderate and shocking that its
very impudence gave it a certain cur
rency. His best friends stopped to ask
themselves: Is it possible that we have
been mistaken in this man? —that under
our very eyes he has led a life of which
we knew nothing?—that he is the brutal
profligate that he is described? They
turned to him to ask: What shall you do
to meet these charges? His answer came
prompt and clear: “Tell the truth!” And
now, after the most thorough investiga
tion, we have the truth, the simple and
unimpeachable truth. And what is it?
Twelve years ago he was iu intimate
relations with a woman, a widow of forty.
He voluntarily accepted the paternity of
a child bom to this woman. For the
support of mother and child he provided
more than liberally, and in the end, it
was his generosity that enabled the wo
man to lead a virtuous life in a distant
place. With the misfortunes which she
brought upon her own head he had
nothing whatever to do, directly or indi
rectly. He was honorable and generous
to her, first and last. And on this poor
foundation is built tlie sickening slander
which has defiled this presidential cam
paign as no other has been defiled in this
generation.
What is that, mother? Is it a breeze
that sweeps across the dudes, and makes
them shiver softly with tremulous glad
ness, and sets their silver-headed canes
knocking together and their thin legs
rattling? Or is it an earthquake that
makes them happy? No, my son; they
have just heard the news that Lillian
Russell is coming back.
Maud S., beat the record, did she?
Think that’s something great, do you?
Bless your sweet little soul, our own
particular Maud S., beat her own record
the other day by three water-ices, two
eclairs, one cream-cake, one plate of
peaches-and-cream, lialf-a-pound of can
died fruit and three bananas. And no
body said anything about it. Except
the doctor. He said it was just what
he expected.
Relation of Agricnltnrr in tbe Belh to
Mftßifattire*.
Notwithstanding the many advantages
of the south for agriculture, advantages
that are admittedly superior in many
respects to those of the greater part of
the balance of this country, it is an un
deniable fact that the southern farmers,
as a class, labor under very serious uis
advantages. Their lands will produce a
great variety of products besides cotton,
and in these smaller crops as well as in
dairying, the poultry yard, etc., there
ought to be much profit; but unfortu
nately it is not so, except to a limited
extent. Unless near some city or indus
trial centre, their efforts in trnckiug or
similar enterprises meet with rather poor
reward as they find no consumers for
their goods. With them there are too
many producers and too few consumers.
The vast possibilities of the south for
fruit and vegetable production, dairying,
etc., are thus almost wholly, we may
say, undeveloped. We have seen the
finest kind of fruit left to rot on the
ground or be fed to hogs. Why? Sim
ply because everybody in the neighbor
hood had all that they needed and no
market could be found for it except at a
long distance and at high freights. And
so it is with iitlier things than the staple
crops of cotton, wheat and corn, and
hence, willing or unwilling, southern far
mers must confine their attention to
these. It is true that hi some localities
the trucking business can be made profit
able by shipping to northern markets,
but this cannot be done except in cer
tain sections. If they raise fruits or veg
etables there are no purchasers, and if
they attempt to' sell butter, eggs or poul
try, even to the country stores, in ex
change for goods, the prices obtained
are so small as to leave no profit.
The hope of the south is a changed
condition of the agricultural interests, in
diversified farming, and in so increasing
the number of non-agriculturists as to
furnish a home market for farm produc
tion of all kinds. This cannot he done
by a general wholesale immigration to
the south, as this would add more to the
food producers than to the food consum
ers, and still further increase the dispro
portion between these two classes. What
the south does need above all else in this
line is immigration of non-food produ
cers, artisans and manufactures. If we
can only build up all over the south
manufacturing and mining industries, we
will soon settle the question of how to
improve the financial condition of south
ern fanners. The farmer will then find
a good home market for his productions,
and he wiil soon be emancipated from
the slavery of all-cotton system.
In new of these facts, the great ques
tion for southern statesmen is how to
develop the industrial interests of the
south? Already there is great progress
in that line, and a few more years of
uninterrupted development will find the
south a great manufacturing and mining
centre. This can be secured only by a
judicious protective tariff. Let that be
assured and the south will continue to
make rapid advances in building up her
factories and mills, and those who reap
the greatest benefits from such would be
the farmers.
Reduce the tariff or keep tinkering at
it and depression wifi follow, capitalists
will refuse to invest in iron works or
cotton mills or coal mines, and the
south’s industrial advance will be check
ed, and the greatest sufferers will be the
farmers.
For the Benefit of the Suffering.
I was affected for nearly four years
with eczema. The doctors called it at
first erysipelas. I was treated by phy
sicians. I was cured by Swift’s Specific.
I used about thirty bottles and have had
no trouble with it since. I refused to
take it, even after it was recommended
to me by others, for some time—such
was my prejudice to the name of it, but
having tried it myself I now believe it is
the best blood purifier in all my knowl
edge. It did another thing for me. I
had suffered from piles for many years.
Since taking this medicine I have been
relieved, and believe it cured me.

They are certainly a strange choice for
a man who claims to be a statesman and
a patriot. Let us see what is the scheme,
as far as developed, of the Blaine cam
paign, that was to be “aggressive” and
“American.” In the first place the ag
gressive American has set to work to iden
tify with his cause those aggressive Am
ericans who were bom in Ireland and
who think that that fact gives them a li
cense to ravage and murder among the
English people, with whom, as a nation,
we are on friendly terms. At the same
time, we have Mr. Blaine’s written assu
rance that he desires to see the United
States at peace with all the rest of the
world. With similar aggressiveness, his
followers are picturing him to various
constituencies as an ardent prohibition
ist and a liberal-minded friend of the

likewise do honor to their leader’s states

GUFF.
She lediiß far out rpou the window sill,
And bathes her fair brow in the cool night
air.
The moonlit street below her feet is still,
Or echoes only to the passer rare.
Far out she leans, her rounded arms gleatu
white,
Her dainty, rose-hued lips breathed odorous
sighs,
And in her deep, bine meltiug eyes the light
Of an unutterable yearning lies.
White robed she is, this sentry of the night,
Fair as the visions of a young man’s dreaut- -
Al length her eyes wita hope fulfilled g:ow

Frank James, the ex-bandit of Missouri, has

No real snap,

Loiters of acceptance, as a rule, are noted
for what they do not say.
A prohibition candidate should be a man
who can uurry water on both shoolders.
The editor who wrote that Blaine’s eyca had
a fa -away look, probably meant to say that
they were resting ou the While House.
By the way, has anybody seei; the letter of
acceptance of C. Pomeroy, nominated for
Pi evident by the Amciican prohibition party t
The republican managers say tbe independ

Ben Butler’s adherents wear spoons on the

A sound multiplying attachment, by which

Into a shout, Las been iu vented. Butler should

Hendricks will now look under the bed
every night to be sure that no request for his
resignation lurks beneath his sleeping form
with evil intent.
Blaine has fulfilled his promise of an ag
gressive eaiupaigu. That three-column let
ter of acceptance is kuowu to have proved
fatal in several instances.
It’s pretty hard work to keep track t f all
the iueonstaucies in politics. Tbe latest dis
covery is that the Kansas and lowa prohibi
tionists go right along raising corn.
Does the stay-at-home voter know that, col
lectively, he absorbs one-third of tbe voting
strength of these Uuited Sates V If he does
the knowledge ought to rouse him to action.
Mr. Dana has apparently made up his mind
to vote for ex-senator Pomeroy for president,
at least the Sun says that all the clanks in
the country will support Pomeroy.
Frederick Douglass and Johu G. Whittier
have announced their earnest support of
Blaiue and Logan, aud we suppose must bo
reckoned os below the Btaudard of political
purity.
The horrible discovery has been made that
Mr. Blaiue on several occasions loaned his
railway pass to his private secretary. Mr.
Cleveland never did nuythiug so wicked as
th and, we understand.
General Butler believes he can poll 2,000,-
000 votes. Why, centainly. There are Ben and
Charles A. Dana—they are 2—and the other
000,000 will be easy euough to pick up almost
anywhere.
The Wilmington News has an editorial

We will never have auy genuine polities in
this country till the old-lasliioned barbecue is
revived. Baked shoat, fresh buttermilk aud
home-made bread will wiu votes when every
thing else fails.
The statement that Hcndiicks wears corsets
has been unhesitatingly stamped as a cam
paign lie. Mr. Hendricks has a wile who is
uot only able to wear the corsets but the
trousers of the family.
Ex-Governor St. John has at last confessed
that “republican whiskey is as bad as Derno
ciatic whiskey.” The Governor has evidently
been visiiing some of the border towns aud
sampled the wrong barrel.
Nearly two hundred Blaine campaign bal
lads have been coppy wrighted. If this doesn’t
show that there is harmony iu the party, what

harmony in the party than in the ballads.
Political papers are nil accusing each other
of eating crow. We don’t think they really
eat much crow, but the average editor is al
ways ready to drink crow—the Old Crow whis
key that has such a reputation in this enlight

The Greenback papers are indignant because
Solon Chase, of Maine pronounces in favor of
Blaine nod Logan. Solan has been the main

After all, what either Mr. Blaine or Mr.
Cleveland did twelve or fifteen years ago is not
the supreme issue of the hour, but what either
of them would or would not do from one to
live years hence under certain circumstances

General Butler has decided to get up a, lit
tle presidential circus on his own account.
He announces that he will soou be ready logo
on the road, aud is busy getting up his posters.
They will shortly be ready to put out, and
meanwhile he issues what showmen call a
“dodger.”
We cannot agree with those who regard the
candidacy ol General Butler as intended or
likely to help the Blaine ticket. In our judg
ment he will weaken the Blaine vote, and in
our belief General Butler, and Mr. Dana, who
is supporiing him very ably and vigorously in
the-San, do uot mean to help tbe Blaine crowd
to elect their chief.
Somebody will be hurt by Butler’s candi
dacy, but the public generally will welcome
him because he will make the campaign pi
quant and lively. He will pretty certainly get
badly hurt himself, but that won’t count, as
with nothing of Presidential prospect tu lose,
nothing ean be lost; but lie may hurt more
hopeful candidates, and that is obviously his
aim.
What is the difference between a monarchy
with a king on the throne, and a republic with
one party continually in power? Is not the
monarchy the better government of the two ?
Our only hope is a change. The republican
party must step down and out. The republi
can party alone does not constitute the l
ted States, though it acts as if it did.
