NRW YOIIK , Oct. 2 : ) . Mr. Blalno's long
litomlscd uttornuce on the presidential oloc-
tlon of IVJi will appear in the Novnmbnr
number ot the North American Uoviow ,
which will bo published tomorrow. It will
occupy thlrlcen pagosof Iho Review.
Mr. Blaine notes Iho lack of oxcltemsnl at-
londli'gon iho present election , contrasting
It with the turmoil that charactcrl/od the
campaign of the older Harrison. This change
in the public Interest lu such contests , he
suggests , may bo accounted for by the
growth In population and Iho conseuucnt
ubsorptiou In vast commercial nnd Itnanclal
operations , or It may possibly Indicate a sub-
cldcnco In thofuluroof cxlromo partisanship.
Mr. Bhilno gives s-pecml attention to the
loiters of the presidential candidates. Of
President Harrison's leticr ho says , among
other IhlngH. lhat "porhaps none of his pro-
uccossors have made so exhaustive nnd none
n more clear presenlallon of the questions
Involved. "
Ciinstli ; Comment ! ! ou Cluvohind'i l.t-ttor.
Mr. Cluvcland'.s lutter is subjected to
searching criticism. Mr. Blaine 11 nils that
In a greater measure lhan Mr. Harilson's It
departs from'ho platform of his party ; In fact
that "Mr. Cleveland has made the platform
upon which tie Is now before the pcoplo , "
nnd that "Mr. Cleveland's ' departure from
the position nf his party's platform on the
question of free trade coniirms the Impres
sion , which hns been general , that u lariro
proportion of Iho democratic party bollovcd
in protection in some lorm. "
Mr. lilalnu makes caustic comments upon
Mr. Cleveland's utterance on the currency
and the stale banks. Ho upholds the re
publican policy of granting Itoorul pensions
to the veterans of the war. On this point
ho says : "Tho umount wo contribute for
pensions Is larger than the amount paid by
any of Iho European nations fora stundlng
army. Surely tha binding up of the
'wounds ot a past war is r. moro merciful
and honorable work thun preparing the
country for now one. "
The most remarkable thing In tlio pres
idential canvas of Ib''J. ' ' Mr. Ulalno rorards
Is "tha manner In which In some sections of
thu country all other Issues have been put
out of fltghl , and the lorco bill nlono brought
Into piomlncnco. " Tno representation
iimile us to the purpose : and the effect of
the forio bill , however , ho declares to bo In-
rOnsislcnl wtlh Iho spirit of President Har
rison's ' Icltcr.
On thu Subject or Kcciprorlty.
Mr. Ulnlno Is full and explicit in his treat
ment ot ihu sublcct of reciprocity , claiming
that u material Increase has uecn caused in
the United States Irudo by reciprocal treaties
with Iho Islands nnd countries of America ,
nnd particularly hy iho Ircatics made with
Kuropcun countries. Mr. IMainc quotes in-
tcrcslfng IliTuros In relation to tuo Increase
of trade with the Leeward and Windward
Ismnila and Cuba , and he predicts In relation
to Cuba thnt "wo shall conquer by commerce
tar bettor than by force of armed forces , and
cordially establish .such mutual Interests bo-
I wcou Cuba and lltls country that commer
cially iho two countries will bo ono. "
Mr. lllalno , dealing with the claim of the
dcmociutlu parly tohothoJoffor.sonlan par.ty ,
says : ' -It woiild surprise .leffor on , if hi
could once moro appear in tbollesh , to loam
Unit ho Is held as the source of all the mcas
nros advocated by the democratic party ol
today. It Is perhaps not worth while u
unlnr Into any elaborate argument on Uu
subject , but tbo democracy owes no little o
its success to the persistence with which it ;
ndliorcnts have mndo their disciples bellovi
this pretension through nil the mutations 1
hns hud. It is equally tiuo , It must be sup
posed , when Mr. Buchanan , u conllrmoc
Icderalist , was tlio iitostaont-olcct of thi
democracy , though It is well known Unit thi
object of Mr. .IrlTorson's most Intense dls
IKO was t bo federal parly.
As tlio Until nl Ilio llL'iiilillriin Parly ,
"In vain it Is pointed out that ibo nosiilot
of Jefferson on any subject was directly thi
reverse of tlio domocrulluposition ; ho is duh
quolcd at the next convention und n nov
\ oath of ulleglanco is taken to bis principles
\ 1 1S01 , after a suvuro conlest , Joffcrsoi
'ciiino to Iho presidency ns tbo founder um
liend of the ropubllcan party , The prell :
democratic was sometimes , ihough seldom
used. The tenacity wilh which Jefforoi
hold to the protective principle was enl ;
proportioned to the necessities of tbo coun
try. His action In 1S07 when hu dccllnod ti
recommend the repeal or ultcrutlon of thi
rovouuc law , after a surplus f 11,000,000 hai
Ijccn accumulated , puts him li : the shurpos
contrast to Mr. ( 'lavoinnd who In his term o
ofllco treated the surplus accumulated as thi
sum of nil villainies. "
In conclusion Mr , Blnlno cells attention litho
the essential agreement--of the two partlo' '
on the grout majority of issues. "It Is into.-
csllug mid Hupsobtivo , " ho says , "to lool
over iho platforms of the two parties am
sco how much alike they uro lu novoral vita
measures alter the rent nnd divisive iosnc
hnvo been stated. * If panics wouli
ulm lo discover and dollno these snbjocls 01

it would not only simplify the contest and b
u welcome relief to iho candidates bu

In the As bury MathoJlstclmrch today ooforo
a largo coagrogatlon Sbo spoke In high
terms of the Chlnoso and of the kind treat
ment which she k'celvoa at their hands dur

In many ra pccta to other forcignois whom

laboring men and1 foreigners , took umbrngo
at the sponkor's"if\marks and loft tbo church
after uroatitig isomo disturbance. The
speaker said uluch she had boon delivering
lectures In this , country she had received
threatening letters , and not long ago ipeclnl
policemen were detailed to guard her House-
to circumvent a'scbotnp for burning It down.
This in ( JhrlstlaujAniorlca , and In Brooklyn ,
the city of churches , She had never been
In such danger Iri China. Tbo Chinese , she
said , were good 'laborers ' and could work
longer and In places -\vhera others could
not. In the building of the Union
I'aclllc railroad and in reclaiming
overllowed laud hi California they
bad been of Inestimable benefit to the people
of the United Mtutcs. Vet they had been
beaten und bruised and killed , all because
they wonted , wnilo the Irish and others got
drunk and would not work as well. It wns
whan this rsfcrcLco to the Irish was made
that the disturbance occurred.
Continuing , Mrs. Baldwin said that It
made her sick to hoar speeches such ns were
made during the Columbian celebration , in
which America was spoken of ns the land of
tbo free. She thoucht that was not the
case. During the war on the Chinese at Se
attle , Clove-land nnd liavaril were appealed
to seven times to protect the Chinese , "Did
ho send the troops ( " she queried. "No. Ho

There has boon no hope for vooln. There
ms been only the iiucsllon of how lone.

but the marvelous vitality of n sturdy race
issortod llsolf and llfo came back to Iho *
uhnost lifeless form.
Today , at noon , the physician thought that
ho end was nlmost hero , hut , ngaiti , tuo sick
vamnn rattled and when ho c.uuo ugnln , nt 7

iclluvo that the end might still bo postponed.
Jutlt wns only a question of hour , . No ono
ins trioi lo conceal thn truth from iho prosl-

eng lime , In fact ttioso who have boon with
lor in these Inat days believe that she know
t bolero the rest , that the appreciation of
icr extremity came to her bsforo they would
admit It oven lo themselves. The doctor
ias told her that the end was comlnu' . From
lay to day ns the slow hours were measured
she has boon conscious iliut anyone
ono of Ihcm might bo her last. Yotsho

vhlch was a little loss than wonderful. For

: as bent over and summoned her from her
othargy with a suoken word , she hns boon
iblo lo nnswer hin : , but bhu has boon little
disturbed.
All through last night she was wakeful
nnd nervous. Through most of the night
the president sat bv her side , or In the little
urcsslng room adjoining the room in which ,
she lies or In bin own room , wnkclul and
watchful. It wns not until the oorlv hours

and with It such higiih of weakness thai iho

brought vitality back to thn unconscious form.
HugKiinl and weary from want of sloop , the
president called ibo uiombcr.-i of his House
hold about him for the simple moining ser
vice. Then ho went down lo eat a few mouth-
fills of breakfast and huirled back to thp

nnd went in Iho sick room.
Only the mumhursof the family and the
