The hoop snake, which takes Whfie f hurt a Scandal. N. Y, Herald. Some ingenious person out West, pre- snmably a Republican, attributes to Mr. Hendricks a letter on the subject of the Cleveland story which probably Mr. Hen dricks neveT saw. Mr. Hendricks, who has been reputed to be a man of good sense hitherto, should have the benefit of the doubt on this occasion. If the missive is genuine and was intended for publica tion it is the worst blunder of the year, and shows that candidates for high olfice may be guilty of worse things than those that lead to scandal. Foolhardy Voyagers. The dory H. T. Bibber, Captain Traynor, which left New York June 2Gth to cross the Atlantic, was run into in latitude forty- five degrees and thirty-nine minutes, longi tude fifty-one degrees and twelve minutes, by a steamer in a thick fog at night. The boat was capsized, one side was badly stove and her stern was knocked off. She was picked up by the French schooner Bergere, and landed at St. Pierre, Mique lon. yesterday. Traynor is in good health and intends repairing his boat. The Ber gere passed a dory on the 18th with two dead men aboard. 1 he dorv was painted flesh color, with * No. 4” on her bow. The men had on oil cloths and rubber boots, and it is supposed were Americans. Hoaxing the London Press. Fleet street, London, was startled yes terday afternoon by a rumor that Queen Victoria had suddenly died. All the ma chinery of the London press was promptly put In motion to ascertain the facts. Marl borough House, Buckingham Palace, the home office and the residence of Sir Wm. Gull were beseiged by reporters sent to gather every obtainable scrap of Informa tion, and telegrams were sent flying in every direction. A few minutes, however, showed that the rumor was only a hoax. Still, the Queen's health is precarious, says a London cablegram, and her long-con tinued fits of melancholia arc regarded by the medical profession as indicating a con dition of her system which may at any titrcbecome suddenly worse. These condi- tionsrendered the report not improbable. The New York Press. Washikoton, August 27.—The Times: ‘ The attitude of James G. Blaine toward great and wealthy corporations interested in Congressional legislation is revealed as clearly by his attempt to defeat the Slier man sinking fund bill as it is by the Mulli gan letters. He who reads the report? of the memorable debate in the Senate unon that bill can see whv Senator Edmunds— who stood by the aide of Senator Thurman in the fight against the greatest and most unscrupulous lobby that had ever besieged the capitol—urged the men chosen to rep resent the Republicans of Vermont in the national convention of 1880 to withhold their votes from Blaine because he had op posed righteous legislation proposed for the purpose of forcing two corporations to pay the money which the people bad lent to them.” The World: “Sensible people are about tired of the persistent repetition by some of the feebler rural Blaine organs of the conundrum, ‘Will Cleveland withdraw?’ Undoubtedly—be will withdraw thousands of votes from J. Mulligan Blaine, as the daily increasing strength of the Indepen dent movement makes manifest.” The Star: “Daring many years nast the Republicans have been playing fast and loose with the alcoholic question. They have tried to harness the liquor interests and the Prohibition element to the same machine, and bMO always indorsed the tenets of which ever faction controlled the larger and more earnest vote. The results are not encouraging to them In their present emergency. 'Evident.;' they are mistrusted by the PrtV hibitionlsts, who have nominated an Inde pendent ticket, while the Republicm con trol in several Western States is seriously jeopardized by the defection of voters op posed to sumptuary laws. Of course, it is quite true that the election either of Blaine or of Cleveland will exercise no direct influence on the questions agitated by the Prohibitionists, for these will remain to be met as before by the Western States. Nev ertheless, advocates of personal freedom— especially German-Americans in Kansas. Iowa and Ohio threaten to bolt the Re publican national ticket in formidable numbers by way of retaliating on the local Republican organizations in these States, which have indorsed prohibition doctrines tor the sake of gaining votes during a tran sient excitement” The Tribum: “Ohio and West Vir ginia are now the only October States, and the tendencies of the campaign in ci»^ n from this timo on will be efostly ‘ ‘ ‘ eady pointed At Democratic Headquarters.

King has had an other interview with Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in which the latter stated that neither nail, Mitchell or any of the clergy men who made the original attack on Gov ernor Cleveland had furnished any facts in support of their charges. He regarded the assault on the Governor as one of the meanest and most daatardl had happened in his reruemI „„ baseless and outrageous. He authorized General Kina to aay farther: “I have nothing more to fay at present but what can be put in a few lines, and that is, that I have waited for the report of these stories about Governor Cleveland—about what lie did when he was a good deal younger than he is to-day, and ought not to have done, and all the gross exaggerations that have been made by his enemies since that time; and the statement of gentlemen with whom I am acquainted, and whose character I well know, satisfies my mind that the Governor has bee.i subjected to gram and outrageous mb representation, such as never could have taken place except in the heat of a political campaign; and that while I forbore and waited until I had adequate light, I am satisfied now that Cleveland is the proi*r man for a candidate for President of ihe United States, and that as over against Mr. Blaine s public and political conduct Cleveland is an angel of light: and how any man can vote for Blaine, and feel aeon- ■cfenUou* scruple about voting for Cleve land on the ground of tnoralitv, surpasses tuy conception, rot I regard Blaine as one of the moat corrupt men in pecuniary af fairs that we have ever had in our govern ment.

It will not do, however, to assume loo much, and onr Ohio friends should ex ert themselves to the utmost to see that a lull vote is brought oat in every district.” The Herald: "A survey of the field at this moment gives promise of a 'tidal wave' in November against the Blaine ticket. From all quarters reports cune to us of very large and increasing Republican opposition to the Blaine ticket and much smaller defection from the Democratic ranks than was at one time feared. There . according to our reports, a spirit and determination this fail among therottrs everywhere which promise very important result*—a determination to make a change and see whether the people still control or whether tbe ‘machine’ politicians really bavo the country by the throat. “A correspondent from Illinois writes us: ‘II people in the East could see what a revolution Is going on in this State and Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa, the friends of Cleveland everywhere would be greatly encouraged.’ One of the phenomena o( the canvass, according to a'l tbo reports we receive, is the lukewarm way in which Blaine Republicans arc acting. They 'will vote for Blaine, but will not work for 1dm,' they Bay, and this lack of enthusiastic sup port is sure to tell on the cenrass.” The San: "Only suppose that Grover Cleveland were withdrawn as the Demo, cratlc candidate tor President end tliat Allen U.
