Ventilate the Mulligan Letter*-Mr. Blaine
Asks to be Protected from farther Assaults
of the Kind- vtbat Ualated kajre.
Nkw Yore, October 4.—The Times Cincin
fioti special, dated yesterday, aaya : “Much
comment was caused t »-dny in political cir
cles, by the appearance on 5th page of the
Commercial Gazette, of a column ot matter,
fiercely denouncing Blaine. .The column was
headed in heavy Black letters: “The Inde
dependent RepublicansThe second head
ing, in small letters, was ns follows: ,r Ncw
_, urnalistic Enterpriiea—The Independents
31 re a Column of the Commercial Gazette.
*-iiat the Mulligan Lettere Aru—IIow They
Come Out.”$Thc Times 6|»eeial describes and
quotes at some length tho nintter printed in
this leased column, and then proceeds
to say that tho republicans were amazed
at its appearance, ami it is said that one of
the local leaders of tho party telegraphed to
Halstead, in New York, to ask what it meant
slid why it was permitted. The column fell
„ under Blaine's eye, and it comes pretty di
rect that he felt it keenly, and naked if it
could not be stopped. On 'change it was all
tho talk. The democrats laughed over it, and
tho republicans confessed their surprise that
BO staunch a Blaine organ os tho.Commercial-
Gazette should have admitted such a matter to
its columns at any time, much less on the
morning of the demonstration in Blaino's
honor. It would destroy their half advantage
■which the party nad derived from
Blaino’s visit.
S lained at tho Commercial Gazette office
lat the matter was admitted by tho busi
ness department and did r.ot fall under tho
editorial supervision, and that there will be
jio more of it.
WHAT THK MOVEVkKT BRASS.
The Times Star correspondent has this in
terview with tho gentleman who edited tho
matter which appeared to-day. Ilia name is
not given but it is understood to be Lawrenco
Maxwell, an attorney ot law.
“It is purely a local movement," he said.
«*The gentlemen who called on Schurzarc the
only ones interested. They havo assumed tho
expenso and have appointed a committee to
furnish the copy."
“Then there will bo a series of articles ?
“Yes, there will be one every day."
“For how long ?"
“I don't know exactly, possibly until tho
elections arc over,"
“l'rctty expensive is it not ?"
“Certainly, I am not at liberty to say what
tho expense is, as a private contract has keen
Snago with tho Commercial Gazette."
ho composes the committee that is to
L'h the copy? 1 '
“I do not feel nt liborty to state just r
don’t know that they would object to it being
Lr.oWn, but I am not authorized to mention
!*uy names. Th.re U not a great deal of
. \ruling to be done any how. It is more of a

them in tho Commercial Gazette they will
reach a class of people who would not sec or
understand them otherwise/
“Bo you expect »ny good rosult from those
pub’ioations?"
“(ill, yes, or we would not go to so much
trouble and expense."

New Orleans, October 4.—The following Is a
summary of the cotton crop report of the National
Cotton Exchange for the month of September. The
great heat of September and the small rainfall

84 for May. From one extreme of the cotton belt
to the other a drought may be said to have pre
vailed, and the natural result of anedding has
!»ecti general. The weather ha* proven, however,
unusually fine for pickluK, nnd as many corres
pondents say, labor it working hard to gather and
rave the crop. Aa a general thing tho cotton
growth is a good one, but the middle crop is only
moderate, and tbe top crop very poor.
In many portion* of several states ginning had
not commenced up to tbe date of tho advices re
ceived, while in other sections, with continued
dry weather, n comparatively early cessation of
pit king is predicted, at any time running from
the middle to the close of October. In Louisiana

retd. The average condition of tbe crop by states
is ns follows; Virginia 80. North Carolina 80, Bouth
Carolina 81, Florida 78, Georgia 80. Alabama 70,
MbsiFsippl 75, Louisiana 78, Texas 05, Arkansas 80

London, October 4.—Tbo usual Saturday
meeting* were held to-day by tho liberals and
conservatives throughout tho kingdom for and
against tbe franchise bill. The marquis of
Ilartington, eccretary of state for war, ad
dressed 15,000 liberals at Arrington, lloaaid
that sending tho Gordon relief expedition did
not mean the reconquest of the Soudan, but
was lor the rescue, if necessary, of a grand
soldier, patriot, and philanthropist, who had
undertaken without material support, to de
liver the Soudanese from bondago. lie de
clared that it was as natural for the conserva
tives to lodge a carfully considered indictment
as it was for himselftogivea complete defense
of tho liberal policy in every part of tho world,*
but he would say that during tho present
S overtime ut of England, great and enormous
ifficulties had arisen that were not thoir own
creation, but W/cre a conservative legacy. Tho
policy of the government in Egypt was to
withdraw a* soon ns possible, consistent with
the duty of the government, to Egypt nnd
other countries. Franchise agitation might
lead to a crisis involving tho oxistence
of the house of lords, llo said that Mr.
Gladstone, of all men, was able and
willing to pass tho redistribution bill after tho
franclHso bill had been passed.
At Leeds, lit. lion. Wm. E. Forster, mem
ber of the house of commons for Brantford,
delivered a lengthy and oloquont speech in
vindication of Mr. Gladstone's poliay*. Ho
argued that tho liberals had not yet agreed
among themselves whether tho houso of
lords should be improved or removod, but tho
people were agreed that they would not bode-
lidcd, controlled or bodied by a handful of
hereditary hangers on. Tho question is, said
Mr. Forster, whether their nflatrs shall bo
»t otioged or policy ruled and their will con-
rtcntly balked, bafllcd, thwarted and defeated
by some threo hundred privileged families.

founders of the church are Signor Campbell, for

A POLITICAL PIE,
In LYliich Vnrioua Political Topics nro
Dished. *
FiiilaPF.i.nitA, October 4.—[Special.]—It is
in this, tlic strongest republican city of the Uni*
ted States, that the plans of tho leaders of the
Blaine canvass arc being matured. It is here
that Blaine’s hip|todroming toMr to the grave
of his beloved Garfield was matured, and it ia
here, in tbe center of stalwartiam that bulle-
tine of his progress are received daily*.
Tito battle now is being, fought tu Ohio.
Although, he is now the edititor and chief
end guiding spirit of a new paper of his own,
the Daily News, Mr. M. F. Ilandy is ‘still
closer perhaps to the inner councils of botlt
parties than any other editor of the country,
lie said to-day to Th* Constitution correspon
dent : “The contest in Ohio is desper
ate. The democrats havo • about
as much chance of carrying Ohio aa the re
publicans have of carrying West Virginia.
The fight over Ohio haa never been as tre
mendous as now. Tho dornocratio organisa
tion is far reaching and vigorous. The repub
lican leaders of the nation are on tho field of
battle. If the republicans carry it in October
by 20,000 or more, the result will go far to
wards sisuring a republican triumph through
out the country in November."
Nearly every leading newspaper in tho east
has a sjafr correspondent now on tho great Oc
tober battle-ground. Tho news of tho day ia
tbo new* from Ohio. Weat Virginia ia consid
ered only incidentally. Tho republicans do
now aud havo all all along practically con
ceded West Virginia to r the demoervey. but in
the last few days private advices received by
leading stalwart* of Philadelphia show that
every republican caravan to Ohio makes a
way-station in West Virginia, and
that * very largo slice of tho trom-
mendous corruption fund which DonCamerou
is now and has been attempting to raise sinco
Blaino's visit to tbe Quaker city, is to be ox-
pended among tho coal miners ou the bauka
of tho Kouowhu.
TIIK BKPUBI.IOAM PACTIONS.
Tho result of the elections in tho October
states will test the accuracy of tho claims now
so blatantly made, that the stalwarts havo
fallen cordially into line for Blaine. Everybody
•sks who is to be tho next Senator from Fcnn-
*y lvauiuT Is Don Cameron to succeed himsolfT
The republicans of nil factious freely declare,
that ho will and that the whole power and
prestige of the stalwarts is now being cast into
tho trembling balance, on the Blaine side.
“Look at what Cameron and Grant did, and
and wbnt they say for Blaiuo," Is heard in tho
lobbies end street coruors. Thoro does not
appear to bo any very satisfying answer,
however, to the quostion os to what Arthur ia
doing or will do for his party's candidate.
Tbo president of tho United States ia
not interesting himself in this
presidential election nt all event*.
Indeed,Candidate William L.Ellsworth,who
claims to bo tho chosen roprei: ntative of tiro
American political alliance for the presidency,
om! who 1ms headquarters in this city, inti
mates Hint “Chester A. Arthur,ex-oolloctor of
the port of New York." is a supporter of Ells

»ny n fact that this mini' F.llnwortb, who wa*
on officer iu tho union army, nn l who om-o
received a nomination for congress in tho in
terior of tbo state of New York, claim* to bo
lie cboico of a half million voters for tho
presidency of tho United States. Ho says,
when be can bo found, that there art 880.088 .
regularly registered members oi tho American
political aliUtucc, tho direct descendant and
representative of the old “kuow nothing
party."
; It is not known with what degree of cor*
'diolity James G. Blaine, the fat-hoaded and
ultrn-corVupt republican candidate regards tho
claims of this rival to the support or his an
cient friends, the knownothings. It is posi
tively known that Blaino has iu private
booMt d of his identification with tho know-
nothing organisation thirty years ago. A
private letter received here by a friend of
Colonel Harris, of Cloveiand, O., tho alleged
Arthur Farnum of the “Bread Winners,"
throws a singular aud shame
ful light on the orgies which
took place at the stag dinner given Mr. Jllaino
in Cleveland, when tho circus slopped over
in that city a few days ago. It i* said
the candidate of tbo republican party on
that occasion boasted, after tbe sixth course
of wine—there were thiriceu varieties of wiao
served—that he had belonged in his lifo-
tirno to every political organisation now ia
cxistcuco.
ll’ci/I.Locon's MISTORTUNR.
The excitement of this political campaign is
believed by many to havo had a good deal to
do with the dethronement of John MaCul-
lough, tho stalwart chief of tho American
tragic stage. 1’qor McCullough I His name
is in everybody’s mouth here now. Here ho
began life ns a poor “supc," whon Forrest
played at the Arch street theater i hero ho
tamed $2 a week carrying a Romau batlnor
displaying the legend, “b. P. Q. R.” llero
be married tho wile who now,sadly awaits bis
btiim com log to her humble home on Thomp
son street, who has ever been the faithful part
ner of bis poverty and his riches, and woo ia
tho fond mother of his son aud daughter.
John McCullough began life hero as a sto
ker in the gas work*. He married while ia
this humble stogo of life. His sister has lived
in Philadelphia many years, and never goea
or has gono to the theater except when
“John" played. He always sent her tickets
for every ono of his performances. McCul
lough made his reputation in the old Califor
nia theater Ban Francisco, backed br Rals
ton, president of tbe Bank ol California, with
a million dollars. McCullough made a repu
tation, and money came. If# bought tbo
thraftr, but before tbe title waa passed to him
Ralston committed suicide and the theater
was seized by Ralston's creditors.
