Enough for tho reasons why the south should not continue to lo In tlio saddle ugainst its own interests and possibili ties. Tlio republican tin ty is national in its designs and character, and, therefore. its jieculiar interest in tho south is to re deem it from sectionalism, or sentiment ality. 0hmhm1 up for industry, nn In dustry that would not Ik ostracized bo catiso of individual political preferences or opinion, tho south would become a great section of tiio country ; nnd tho re publican party, with all tho signs in its favor, should not leave a thing undono to accomplish so great a tiling as to break tho solid south during this cam paign. Thero is ovory probability, jwlitlcally, that this may bo done. Thero nro no less than six southern states doubtful. They nro Virginia, West Virginia, North Caro lina, 1 lorida, Tennessee and Louisiana. Wo know if "a fair ballot and a fair count" woro iossiblo in these states un der tho democratic authorities, fixed in sentiment, they would bo republican, but oven with sentiment ngalnst tho re publican party and its principles, tho opiwrtunitios and possibilities of carry ing tlieso states nro moro than good. Tennessee, outside of tho great inter ests committing it to tho protectivo wllcy of tho republican party, has nn ox-comeueroio running ior governor on the republican ticket, and the democra cy nro divided on paying or repudiating tlio stato debt, In Virginia, O10 remljuster democrats, or Mahono men, aro harmonious, and reaily to unite with the strnlghtout re publicans, who hnvo heretofore prevent ed tho ubsoltito redemption of tho stato from democratic rulo. Tho stato elected a re-adjuster republican conirrossinnn ut largo in 1882, and gave Hancock u plurality of loss than 44,000, includinu 31,627 bullets cast by the Mahono party, llut West Virginia, North Carolina and Florida aro even moro encouraging fields, lloro nro some instructive elec tion rotuniH, .quoting from the St. Louis Ulobo-Domocrnti There arc about 12,000,000 inalo ad ults in this country engaged in gainful occupations, and tho census shows that tins is about tho number of males of tho voting age. Substantially tho wholo Imputation that can voto is nt work, and about half of the whole number is en gaged in farming, nearly one-quarter in manufactures and miniug,ovcronc-sixth In itorsonal nnd professional services, and about one-Uelfth in trade and Iran BK)rtation. How can tlio government promote tho welfare of these workers 7 "Let them nlonc," says tho Hritish Irce-trnilo theorists; "do not meddle with them nt all; help no one, make tuxes as light ns tiossiblo, and leave everybody to find his level." Tho results of tho "let alone" jwlicy can bo seen in England. Whoever wishes to ascer tain what sort of level the great body of workers reach under such a system can examine, Porter's letters, the official re port of the bureau of statistics, or any other accurate and trustworthy state ment of tho condition of labor abroad. Tho republican party, on tlio con trary, holds that government ought to do all it can to elevate, dignify nnd pro tect lalwr. It began by enacting u a homestead law. This offers a farm to every industrious citizen w ho is wjlling to cultivate it, and the effect has been to fix a lo vol ImjIow which tho wages of agri cultural lalwr can never lo depressed so long as available public lands remain. By this great measure, fully half of all tho workers in the country were directly and permanently benefited, for tho own ers of farms- themselves have secured homesteads in great number for their children, or for themselves when tempt ed to remove to now states. Hut this act, in soino respects tho most im- wrtunt and beneficent that ban been , passed lor n quarter of a century, was carried by republicans against persis tent democratic opposition. Tho protective tariff was enacted, also, as soon as the republican party gained power to make any law whatever. Un der IU operation, tlio wages of millions oj wnrKorp in ino manuiacturcs and in mining nave dccii sustained, tho enor mous development of thoso industries has secured a homo market for farmers, and 11 greatly increased demand for la bor in all tho mechanic arts, and tho farmers havo moreover been directly iMjnofilod in many ways, particularly near tho Canadian bonier, and in tho growin 01 wool in nil parts ot tlio coun try. But this measure, also, though it directly benefited moro than a quarter of tho wngo-earnora In tho country, and indirectly but powerfully helped them nil, was resisted at the outset, and has over since boon assailed most savagely by tho democratic party. Tho effect of these great republican moasures is illustrated in tho latest ro port of tlio Massachusetts labor bureau, recently published. In this elaborate report tho wages of persons in 90 indus tries in Massachusetts aro compared for 1883, for 1800, and for intermediate years, with tho wugea of persons in sim ilar occupations in Great Britain. On page 424 wo find a single sentence which tho laborers of tlds country may well remember: "The result of the comamtie wagei Inrestl gallon is that the Kcncral nvcraj:e wevLly wage of the employes, In the industries considered, was 77.49 I'KK CF.NTIIIGIIKW IN MASSACHUSETTS THAN IN CUKAT IIWTAIN." In another sentence, on tho same page, it Is stated that "in Massachusetts, from 1800 to 1883, tho advance was 28.30 per cont." Hero wo havo data which fairly Illustrate tho practical benefits conferred y mo roptiDiican policy, it has ena bled tho workors of tho 00 industries in this country to secure wages 77M lr cont higher than workers in similar industries get in Great Britain. And it has enabled tho -work-ors of theso 00 in dustries in this country to socuro wages 28j per cent highor than thoy enjoyed In 1800, nt tlio closo of n long period of democratie "taxation for public pur IHJses exclusively."

The True Story-How Blaine Met Hia Accusers His Spirited Defense. (ban Francisco Spirit of the Times. References nro frequently made to tho Mulligan letters in tMipors hostile to J, G. Blaine, and theso references nro mado witli a coloring which the facts, as officially printed in tho Congressional Record of Juno 4, 1875, do not appear to warrant. In April or May preceding tlio republican convention in Cincinnati, J. 1). Harrison, an Implacablo enemy then, as now, to Blaine, attacked Blaine's integrity. Harrison was a di rector of the Union l'acific railroad. His statement was that the Union l'acific railroad had charged to some one 104,- 000 of the bonds of tho Fort Smith and Little Rock railroad of Arkansas nnd that tho real beneficiary was James G. Blaine. An investigation was ordered by tho judiciary committee, of which Hon. J. I Knott of Kentucy was chair man. Nothing of any special interest was devclotKid until ono "Warner Fisher of Boston nnd tho now famous Mulligan wcro summoned. Fisher was a specu lator in railway securities and Mulligan had been bis liook-kceper. Up to the apiKsarance of theso two men before the committee Blaino had met every accusa tion against him, and the bent of the in vestigating committee was to make a report of exoneration. Mulligan's state ment, however, made a sensation. Ho said that Blaine bad tw ice called upon him ; that at the first meeting Blaino had besought him to give him the letters in his iwssession? There was a corre spondence between Blaino and Fisher which Mulligan, tho ook-kcei)cr, had stolen out of Fisher's safe. JIulligan was persuaded to lend tho letters to Blaino for a few hours, when they were returned. Tlio next day Blaino, to re fresh his memory on the contents of one of tho letters, was allowed to review them, when ho put them into bis pocket and refused to give them up. Blaine justified his act on tho ground that the letters bad leen stolen by Mulligan, who was no longer in Fisher's service. The letters belonged cither to himself or Fisher, and the latter wished Blaino to hold them. Tlio committeo then de manded tho letters and Blaine, after a day's consideration, refused to give them up. Tho committeo thereupon agreed to retwrt Blaine to the house as a recalci trant witness. Thus matters stood until tho 4th of June, 1875, when Blaino mado tho dramatic scene in the house of rep resentatives which suggested to Bob In- gersoll his term of "Plumed Knight," afterward applied to him in his famous speech at Cincinnati. Blaine arose in his seat to a question of privilege. He was tho very embodiment of rage and passion. His face was pale and blood less. Nq ono who sat within his hearing could have failed to surmise that some thing was coming. Thereupon be re viewed succinctly what ho deemed his persecution nt tho hands of Hie judiciary committeo, for his refusal under legal advice to give up tho Mulligan letters, nnd said: "When tho famous witness, Mulligan, camo hero loaded with infor mation in regard to tho Fort Smith road, tho gentleman from Virginia drew out what ho knew had no reference what ever to tho question of investigation. He then and there insisted upon all of my private memoranda being allowed to bo exhibited by that man in referenco to business Uiat had no more connection, no moro relation, no moro to do with tho investigation than with tho north pole. And tho gentleman tried his best also I believe twit has Ixsen abandoned to capture umtfuso and control my private correspondence. This man has selected, out 01 correspondence running over a great many years, letters which bo thought would bo peculiarly damaging to mo. Ho camo bore loaded with them. Ho camo hero for a sensation. Ho camo horo primed. Ho camo hero on that particular errand. I was advised of it, and I obtained these letters under cir cumstances which havo leen notoriously scattered throughout tlio United States, and aro known to everybody. I havo them. I claim I have tho right to those letters ; not only by natural right, but upon all tho precedents nnd principles ot law, as tho limn who held tho letters in possession hold them wrongfully. Tho committeo that attempted to tako thoso letters from that mau to use neainst mo proceeded wrongfully, Thoy proceeded in nil boldness to a most defiant viola tion of the, ordinary private and personal rights which belong to ovory American citizon, and I was willing to stand and moot tho judiciary committeo on this floor, I wanted thorn to introdueo it. I wanted tho gentleman from Kentucky and tho gentleman from Virginia to in troduce that question uivon tin's floor; but they did not do it." Knott (in his seat) "I know you did." bo done, or not done, with my private f correspondence than it has with what I shall do in tho nature nnd education of my children not a particle. Tho right Is as sacred in onu can nn ihn ntlmr. But, sir, having vindicated that right, standing by it, ready to make any sacri fice in the defense, here and now, if any gentleman wants to tako the issue with me on behalf of this house, I nm ready for any extremity of contest or conflict in !chalf of bo sacred a right And while I nm bo, I am not afraid to show tho letters. Thank God Almighty, I am not ashamed to show them. There they aro holding up a package of lctters.1 There is tho very original package, and with some Benso of humiliation, with a mortification that I do not pretend to conceal, with a Bcnso of outrage which I think any man in position would feel. I invito the confidence, of 44,000,000 of my countrymen while I read these letters from tho desk." Applause. Blaine then read the letters with dra matic effect, accompanying them wiffi explanatory remarks. The scene at tending tlio reading was of the wildest excitement. Tlio speaker was power less to preserve order. The sympathies of tho galleries, which were packed, wore with Blaine, and their enthusiasm added to the general tumult and dis order. After the reading of tho letters, and when the excitement had subsided, Blaino walked over to the democratic side and, standing directly in front of J. Proctor Knott, precipitated another sen sation, and one more startling than the first, because unexpected. Blaino said : "Thero is ono piece of testimony want ing. Thero is ono thing- to' close the complete circle of evidence. There is but ono witness whom I could not have, to whom tho judiciary committee, tak ing into account tho great and intimate connection bo had with the transaction, was referred, and I, ask tho gentleman from Kentucky if that dispatch was sent lo him." Frye "Who?" Blaine "To Josia Caldwell." Knott "I will reply to the gentle man. Judge Hunton and myself havo both endeavored to get Caldwell's ad dress, and havo not yet got it." Blaine "Has the gentleman from Kentucky received a dispatch from Cald well?" Knott "I will explain that directly." Blaine "I want a categorical' an- Bwer." Knott "I have received a digiwtch purporting to bo from Caldwell." ' Blaine "You did?" Knott "How did you knowl got it?" Ulaino "When did vou get it? I want the gentleman from Kentucky to answer when ho got it." Knott "Answer my question first." Blaine "I never heard of it until yesterday." Knott "How did you hear it?" Blaine "I heard you got a dispatch last Thursday morning at 8 o'clock from Josia Caldwell completely and absolute ly exonerating me from this charge, and you have suppressed it. Protracted ap plause on tho floor and in tho galleries. I want the gentleman to answer. After a pause. Does the gentlemanirom Ken tucky decliuo to answer?" Knott "I will answer that when I eet ready. Go on with your speech." Blaine "Tho gentleman from Ken tucky, in responding, probably, I think, from what ho said, intended to convey tho idea that I had some illegitimate knowledge of how that dispatch was ob tained. I have no means of knowing irom tlio telegraph oihco whether the telegram was received. But I tell the gentleman from Kentucky that murder will out." Grovor "That is truo." Blame "And secrets will leak. And I tell tho gentleman now, and I am pre pared to stato to this house, that at 8 o'clock on last Thursday morning, or thereabout, tho. gentleman from.

Senator J. N. Dolph returned Xowday from Now York in good health and ex cellent spirifs. On his way back from Washington Senator Dolph stopped WC his old home in Walking, Schuyler coun ty, New York, Upon Invitation Ho opened tho campaign in tho county on tho 0th inst., making n speech to a very largo crowd. AnOregonian reporter was granted n short atldlonco with tlie sen ator, who, in answer to an inquiry rel-J ativo to tho political outlook In Now York state, said. "The republican leaders aro sanguine of Blaine's election, and from present appearances there is every reason to be lieve ho will carry the stato of Nrw York. Tho independents of Now York, who, immediately after the Chicago conven tion, seemed ready io follow tho leader ship of Georgo William, Curtis, aro dropping back into tho republican ranks and tho number ot outepoken Indepen dents is growing Hwalieccycry dayr- iho bolters aro confined principally to importers and free-traders. In western and northern New York, eo far us I could learn, there is no ttefectkm from the republican party. "Will you take jwrt in the canvass' in this stato ?" asked the reporter. "I will if I am invited," answered tho senator. "I havo a strong desire to visit Yaquina bay, Coos bay and PortOfford, and will go there this fall if I can sparer the time." As Senator Dolph, together with other republican leaders, will be formally invited this week to make speeches, ho need havo no hesitancy on that score. "How do you view the present busi neBs outlook for Oregon and Woshifigtje, territory?" "I have an abkHfi4h in the great future, not only of Portland, hnt tlio s tire Pacific northwest.

Blaino had "plucked tho flower safely from tho nettlo danger," and wrested from his persecutors and desperate maliguera tho proofs of his innocence. This is the truo I From the Iovya Capital.
