Blaine, have been diligently jy inr ui"n and foully slandering Gov. Cleveland for two months, - They' tried to in.tke capital out of his un fortunate affair- with a woman Tat Iidffalo some years ago. . They went to work in earnent and by distorting and magnifying and mittrepreeiitiiig the facta they did some harm . for awhile. : Blaine was at the back -as Gov. Plaisted, of ..Maine, has shown, of all this mean and base attack upon Gov. Chrreland. It ;was a positive confession of weakness, and defeat. There wan nothing in Cleveland's po-i; litical record that would not add to his fame and success, so the Artful Dodder, of Maine, sent for the editor of his New England organ, the Bos tos Jburnal, and had : 100,000 extra copies of an edition struck off that fairly teemed Vith loathsome lies de faming the Democratic candidate and Blaine's opponent. Blaine set the ex ample of attacking his rioaVs private character. ' Since then the revelations concern ing Bl.tine;s private life and his own' conies,. oiis have thrown in the shade the youthful indiscretions of the Dumioyra'.ic candidate. Whatever of filth there '.is in the campaign is directly traceable to Blaine himself. But Blaine is not satisfied. His prospects grow more desperate daily. The second instalniento.f Mulligan 1 letters has knocked the bottom ont of whtever-of . Jittle character he was snjpoel to have had, by- the ; Star Roulers and the remainder of the thieves and bummers. .Blaine, is still at his very dirty work of defam ing Cleveland and shows himself the main "pal" of the blackmailers who are spreading lies and scandals about Gov. Cleveland.1 ' Two or three weeks ago tuey sent out circulars in every direction bring ing charges of vice against Cleveland, with bogqs or worse than, bogus cer- tihcates accompanying t Ibis dirty and infamous work' of r defamation continues and r Blaine is known to be positively conniving at ..and egging on the conspirators and, criminals. We have before us a record of the efforts of Blaine and his acavjengers to malign Cleveland, and they were groundless and , base and false. We will give bat one specimen: On last Thursday a teleeram was received by the HonEdwaTd; McPJiersbp, Secretary of the Republican "Jfatioual L-ommutee, wiucu ruau. iijus; Buffalo.

BLAINE CAUGHT AGAIN. ; It is our painful duty to refer j to another exhibition of Blaine's deceit and disregard of the truth. In no transaction of . his . thus far. made knewn to the publio has he acted in a frank, manly, truthful, honorable manner. . He seems to have prefer red in all of his transactions dubious and tortuous methods, full of cud dies and labyrinths, rather than plain,' direct, honest methods. We are, not harsh in this, but we are merely; stating a fact. As the New York Times of Wednesday well says: ''An examination of his public career shows Mm to be weak-kneed, shallow, irresolute, cunning, and cowardly. In his private career every new disclosure deepens the impression that he is a disgusting sneak and falsifier." . Lord Macaulay, in his splendid history, says of some English politi cian, whose name we , do not recall, that he was the most 'systematic, de liberate and ingenious liar of. bis times.; Of course bis' numerous lies: were found out and hence his char-; acter has been sketched by a master in a few stinging words. Blaine is possibly the most "systematic, delib erate and ingenious liar of his times," although he has the misfortune of having many of his lies made naked to the public gaze. His latest discovered falsehood is characteristic. J The New York pa pers contain 'the full , transaction, Blaine's letter, of denial and the proof that he simply lied about the transaction. . He made, a subscrip tion of $25,000 and then denied that he had done so. The letters, j tele grams, receipts, and certificates all appear in the JBoening Post of Tues day and in -the! Herald of Wednes day, and' in the Times too, we, be lieve, and the: evidence is strong as proofs drawn from Holy. Writ. It is not the Mulligan letters rascality this time, t the Hocking Valley" game of - deception. To give, the evidence and j history in full would occupy too much of onr space; An outline of the matter mnst suffice. ' ; It will be remembered that in the .Hocking Yalley.miries,in Ohio, some- time.ago there were great disturb ances among the workmen, accompa nied by a . great loss of life. ; . The mine owners became, as was charged, very oppressive in their exactions-: and acted in bad faith. It was said that a strike was provoked by them in order to reduce the wages of the workingmen, thus . acting in : bad faith. Men were driven from i work and their families were unprovided for. Then, followed great troubles and much loss of life. .Now Blaine owns ' mines7"a8 he, admits himself, in Virginia and Pennsylvania, but he denied emphatically in his letter' of the 22 nd of Jt J, r1882, addressed to H. ! S. Bandy, that he was in any way connected with the disturbances and wrong doing on the part of the owners. . 'In that- letter he' says V Tn answer to your recent favor I beg to say that I am. not and never have been the owner of any coal lands or iron lands, or lands of any character whatever, in the Hocking Valley or in any part of Ohio. Nor have I at any time owned a share of stock in any coal, iron; of land company in the State ot umo." That is - plain - enough, but the trouble with' it is that it is not the truth. He : did" own ? stock : in the Hocking Valley' mines as . the pub Ushed documents very - clearly show. We avail ourselves of an editorial summary in the Times -that shows Blaine's transactions. - , It f erring to Blaine's letter to Bnndy: "Every material1 statement in it was false false in effect, false in detail and false in intent.' The documents : we publish this morning prove this. Mr. Blaine, on the 13th of December,, 1880, sent $25,000 to Mr J, N. Denison, of Boston, In nayment of my (his subscription: to the Hope Fur nace enterprise:' ' .

It is ; by jodds' the most pressing question with up so tar as iNortu Carolina issues are con- cerned. Men may well disagree a to othr questions that are of a purely local or State character, but ami ng Eastern ; white men', there can! be no honest difference as to the necestity of preventing the negroes frm gBt-, ting control of the finances.

The gloomy paet rises up with all of its - fateful results to give an emphatic and . indignant re sponse to any such proposal. The curse of corruption and incompetency was once visited pon the East by the omnivorous an I - rapacious carpet-baggers aided and .abetted by a horde of ! native scalawags' who went for pelf, and by tens of thousands of recently liberated slaves who thought liberty meant license . and that their former masters were their enemies and would do to plunder and oppress. Now Dr. York,' a Democratic traitor now. Tunning as .phe,-.. Radical candi date for ' Governor, was ' a strong advocate of County Government and voted for it when a member of. the Legislature in 1867-77. Folk (now a Radical) introduced a bill to estab- lish Co.usty Government. York voted to sustain the bill, and on the pasageT16""116 PPere"? 10 08 actually tottering of the bill voted for it. He also voted against an amendment by Mr. .Dunn a give the election of magistrates to lte people. In a word, at every stage of the Folk bill York stood by it well and faithfully. Now for -the sake of office he is making speeches against the County! Government sys tem as now operated and favors giv- jng control to tne . negroes . in me twenty -six negro counties. u 5 .Will any decent, intelligent white man vote for such a fellow f.

' , ' , " T '' . One of the Blaine Electors in tU State of New York is by no . means satisfied with" bis 'position.

The Weather has proven however,' unusually fine for7 'picking, and as many correspott dents say, labor, is working hard to gather and save the crop. ; As a general thing the bottom growth is a1 good one, but the mid dle crop is only moderate, and the top crop very poor. In- many portions of several States ginning had not commenced up to the date of advices received, while in other sections. n'With continued dry weather, a comparatively early cessation of pick ing' is predicted, the time running from the middle to : the close of Octobor. ; The average condition of the crop by States is as follows: Virginia 80, North Carolina 80, South Carolina 81, Florida 78.

' Senator Hawley 'a : oration was a fine effort A manly : and patriotic sentiment pervaded ' every 1 part of it; and gave it ' tone, and at times the speaker moved the audience with flights of . high eloquence.

' The exhibit made by the colored people is in the south end of the grand stand., It is as yet rather small, but the Secretary of the colored industrial association, John H..

Hinsdale's the men began to drop out of ranks and between there and the Expo sition grounds perhaps a dozen were af fected. They were promptly cared vfor by Assistant Surgeon General Herbert Hay wood, who merits the thanks of the entire Guard for his efficient work.
