BLAINE???S HIPPODROME.

EPHANT VISITED PHILADELPHIA.

Philadelphia, September 27.???{Special.]???Blaine
lias come and gone, and In spite of tho desperat
attempts to bring the Cameron stalwarts to hi
support and of the much-trumpeted call on him
by Don Cameron, the democracy of New York
and- Pennsylvania hears and reechoes only tho
-most favorable indications for national victory In
November.
To the Coktistution correspondent ex-Speaker
Eamucl J. Randall, who has just returned from
New Yprk, said: *T am aa much opposed as ever
to being Interviewed, even for The CosmriTio.s
2 think the prospects for national success in No
vember most flattering for the democracy. The
republfom cry of dlsuulon and treachery In New
York is haselcss." These words might team to
some, and from some, comparatively unlmpor
tnnt. From the leading democrat of Pennsylvania,
-the leading demount tit protectionists of the union
and the close personal friend of Mr. Tlldcnther
are weighty, especially at this time. The air C.
fall of rumors of John Kelly???s treachery, rumors
propagated by Blaine's corrupt managers in the
wake of the boom which .they hoped to wo rk up
In Philadelphia, Vie strongest republican city
In tho United estates, for tho tat
tooed and much besmeared statesman
from Maine. Mr. Randall has b**i*u in New York
for several days, iu chaw consultation with the
democratic leaders???both local and national, His
presence there and his participation In their
counsels wero so quiet that but little has been
telegraphed over the country about It. But it Is a
fact that he saw aud talked with notpnly Hubert
AMERICANS TO HULK AMERICA,
uiuiKii uv. ?????? niuioc, ucvu iuuvtu ns nu ul
timate Of Mr Til>???en. Naturally, his affiliations
with Tammany have not been cioso in the past.
But Philadelphia democrats had become alarmed
at the uncertainty of lam many'areal stand. It
tvas thought advisable to havo tho reprcientatlvo
of the democracy of the keystone state go over to
Gotham, inquire, search oat and bring back the
truth. This has been done, aud In spite of the
hollow echoes of Blaine???s blatherskite visit to tho
??uaker city, the democrats are moro confident
than ever, and look forward not only to a sure
victory in the empire state, but also to a fair pros
pect in Ohio.
TUB LATWT FRO* OHIO.
Chairman W. U. llenscl, of the Pennsylvania
atate democratic committee, who has jost returned
from a ten-days visit to Ohio, said to-day: "I havo
been all through eastern Ohio and In
the western reserve as far as Cleveland.
1 have been In consultation with
leaden from Cinclunati and southern and
western Ohio. The result of my own observations
and of wbat I could hear fs that at least 75 per
cent of the German vote In Ohio will go for Clevc
land. Mr. John K. McLean, of tho Cincinnati
Enquirer, has advices from the western reserve???
the republican stronghold???where Blaine was ex
pected to run most strongly, on accouut of the
memory of Garfield, that the republican vote Is
not coming out as the munageas expect and desire.
If these things are so, as 1 believe, Cleveland will
curry the state."
Blaine's hippodrome through tho country Is
known to be a sign of republican desperation.
The stock-jobbing princes of Wall street would
not open their moneybags to him; so he was
dragged toGotbom. The stalwarts of Pennsylvania
declined to danco to bis magnetic piping, so be
*was brought to ltiiladelphU, face to face with
Don Cameron, the most conspicuous leader now
in public life of the 80G Chicago braves. The sit
uation In Ohio had become desperate, so ho is to
Iia thmnvh thn "htirkovn stntn ???* Thorn
fund of the most corrupt city, politically, of the
United States, is now large.
BLAIMR IN PHILADELPHIA.
The fat-headed, puffy-faced man in gray with a
bald spot on the back of his head, and a closely
cropped wblto moustache, who drovo about town
in an open carriage, showing himself to the
crowd, was James G. Blaine. T??? *???*???
of his managers is shown by
cfiincoin'u cnr(i??i,N tiw m tv tuv vuiv,
empty save for a gorgeously liveried coachman,
apparently waiting to take the republican candi
date for bis ante-luncheon drive to the
park. A half dozen of Mayor Smith's brawny
and brutal policemen stood about withdrawn
clubs. Suddenly Blaino drove around tho corner
and hurried up chestnut street; ho had come out
by the Ninth street entrance and had deliberately
been a paity to tbe deceit of. his street admirers,
S rolabfy because they were not select enough for
im. The real reason, however, was thought by
many to be the fact that there were a dosen shrill-
voiced and chipper lads in that very samo crowd,
and even in tho very hotel corridors themselves,
yelling the "Mulligan Letters, complete for one
cent," and driving an active trade.
Tho friends of the tattooed man, who had made
such unstinted efforts to make his reception
here a transcendent * success, aro
exttemely bitter against tbe democratic
managers for circulating the Mulligan letters on
tbevenr day of the great republican demonstra
tion. Then too the torch light procession aad po-
was a fizzle. It is sad, bnt true. Even republicans
acknowledge it. It was confidently churned that
there would be 40,000 men in line; there were
drove away and took a t'aln back to Now
Yoik. All nUght long the town was fall
of drunken red shirts. It is conceded
that this great demonstration for the
S lumed knight In Pennsylvania, his native state,
lie home of his "magnetic following" which was
to have been the greatest political parade on rec
ord, was by no means as Imposing as the Hancock
parades In Philadelphia four years ago, or tho
magnificent McClellan procession of 18M.
THE CAMPAIGN AT LARGE.
Congressman Poat, of Pennsylvania, secretary of
tbe democratic congressional campaign commit
tee, said to-day: "There la this difference between
tbe national democratic campaign and prospects
now and four years ago. Then tbe leading demo
crats of tbe west and east came on a pilgrimage to
onr bcadqudrtcre at Washington (or consolation.
Tbelr faces were long, their hopes weak, and their
advices gloomy. They came to be comforted.
Now they come full of life and hope, and bring
tidings of the most encouraging description."
The republicans bold desi??ratcfv to their
hopes ot a permanent split between John Kelly
ana the regular democracy in New York city. A
S rominent Philadelphia, business man, In whom
le wish is father to tbe thought, said
to-day: "This is the greatest news. Negotiations
have been pending for some time to heal the
breach between tho Tammany and anti-Tammany
democrats. The pivot of the conference was the

stated that he had not refused to permit tho en

necessary to await tho decision of tho sec

no precedent for tho admlssion;of.colored men lu-

appointed It was found that only
two of the committee were present
Mr. McDonald, tho chalrmaln, and Mr. Sonlons.
R. M. Mitchell, of Acworth, delegated his powers
to Mr. J. G. Thrower, after expressing hlmscU, In
writing, opposed to tho putting out an electoral
ticket. Judge John D. Cunningham was also ab
sent, but had left his vote also in opposition to
the movement with Mr. McDonald, who also op-

RELUCTANT REPUBLICANS.
Tho Legislative Ticket Nominated Hy the
Cnncua Falling to Pieces,
It appears that tho recent republican caucus,
which put out a ticket for representatives
from this county, did not succeed even in the for
mal task It undertook. Madison Roll, Mr. Sherman
aud Wm. Finch, the first two white and the lost
colored, were named as the persons who should
receive the support of all good republicans. The
day after his nomination it was reported that Mr.
Bell had refused to be a candidate, and that re-
l is now confirmed by prominent republican
era. Mr, febennan hesitated, and, it is said,
Hill hesitates. Ho Is to give tho committee an
answer to-morrow. Wm. FlucJi is willing to make
tbe race, aud will remain a candidate
even if his colleagues decline. Some of
the republicans are disgruntled at tho failure of
tbo colored voters to register, and at tho lack of
Interest shown by tbe party generally in lootl
politics. There is talk of a republican rally the
night before the election.

The rcpubUean convention to nominate /??can
didate for congress from this district met at nouq
yesterday in Calhoun hall, on Decatur street. AU
tho countlcs.in the district except Newton were
represented. There were present tbreo white del
egates and thirty of various shade*. For tempo
rary organization W. L Shumate, of DeKalb, was
called to the chair and J. B. Arterbury, of Walton.
wm requested to act m secretary. A committee
on credentials, with II. A. Rucker,
of Fulton, as chairman, wm opoofnted
aud retired to perfect a list of delegate*. A com
mittee on organization with A. K. Buck, ot Fulton
M chairman, wss also appointed.
While the committees wero out the oratorical
talent of tho body wm developed in a series of
speeches from a dozen colored brethren, c. C,
Wlmbish, of Fulton, delegates Horton, of DeKalb,
Phillips and Hemming, of Kpaldlng and K, A.
Johnson, the editor of"ThoPilot" addressed tho
convention on tbe political issue* of the day.
Jackfon MCHcnry wm called on, ami he proceed
ed to stir up the body. He aald tbe stiecess of tho
democratic party would bring undreamed of woes
upon the country. Ira control ot ono
branch or congress hu brought us to
the vw^e ol ruin, "for," exclaimed tho orator,
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND MILLION DOLLARS
lying there in the treasury, and tho democrats
won't tom loose a cent of it!" McHenry then
Mlkil luto the independent democrat* and aald
they were ns bad m tbe simon pure variety.
W. A. Pledger, chairman of the state executive
o< nim It tee, spoke next. He dwelt upon the Idea
that the only way for the republican party of
Georgia ever to bccomo a power would be by gain
ing scccstlons from tbo democrats and creating
factions in tbelr rauks. -
Tbe committee on credentials submltteed are-
K n which was adopted. Mr. Buck, from
e committee on organization. reported
as permanent officers J. M. flmlth, of Walton, for
president, and K. A. Johnson, of Fulton, as sec
retary, loth colored. On taking tho chalrPresi-
dcntfimllh returned his tlianks for tho honor In
a well cxpresied speech. W. A. Pledger then ob
tained the floor and continued the line of hie
R revlou* remarks. He said that while six of tho
?n congremlonal districts In Georgia are repub
lican on a (air vote, this district Is democratic.
The only way to msko success possible here is not
to nominate a straight republican, but to support
some man who will draw off enough dcmooratlo
votes to l??celected. In this way the dcmooratlo
ranks can bo broken and the way paved for pure
republican success. Jn concluding his remarks.
Pledger offered a resolution declaring It expe
dient for the republicans of this district to sup
port Mr. Bryan of Henry, who Is running for con
gress, m the "people???s candidate." Mr. Madison,
with a proxy from Fayette, supported the poller
of such action In an extended speech. Ho said Mr.
Bryan wm a protectionist, a friend to education,
aud an enemy to infamous registration laws.
Jsrkson McHenry rose to speak, but tho chair, on
Infoimntlon thathewMnotadcIcgatc.deolined to
hear him. McHenry said Mr. J. V, Jenkins had
promised him his proxy, but he bad forgotten to
???jmeby and get It.
The convention resolved to hear him any way.
He fired away at fndr|*n<lcnts again and appeal
ed to Ida colored friends to standby truo republi
can colors. He said hu

10 and Hammond aro democrats and
he preferred Ilntmnond. Ho sold Dr. Felton onco
pretended lo be a democrat, bnt ho has fallen
lack Into the arms of tho republican. A colloquy
as to tho policy of sometimes supporting lnde-
pcndints arono between Pledger and McHenry,
and continued until a tall Clayton county dero
gate, very dark, called on both of them to sit down
and let tho convention proceed with its
juslncza. Pledger spoko again on tho
lnpclcfftiirns of a straight rcpubliiMti fight and
ihtillwn made another appeal to tho delegate* to
**idorse Bryan.
A delegate from 8paldingsald he "didn???t see no
difference In regular and Independent democrat*.
It's just like rattlesnake and moccasin. Either
one lilt you. you gwlne die."
