Blaine's Despondency Marks August Political Review
A Washington dispatch from Newton, New York, dated August 15 reports Blaine's mood has shifted to timidity and withdrawal from campaigning. The piece notes disappointment in Elkins and concerns over anti Blaine sentiment, German and Prohibitionist defections, and rising anti monopoly sentiments in western states. It sketches uncertain prospects in California, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio, with Butler's anti monopoly movement gaining ground and the pivotal, contested outcome remaining unclear.
