Washington special says /: "Geu. Blair,
who is now here, is strongly urged by
his friends for President, and they
profess 10 be sanguine of success.
His views are of most emphatic
and pronounced character they are
given with the point, terseness
and vim of q positive and fearless
nature, and are the application of
fixed opinions to the existing situation.
Blair now, as always, scouts the idea of
giviag the ballot to the negro. Suffrage
be regards as 3 cardinal Issue of the can
vass, and his iIfexible opposition to the
Radical doc crine of negro suffrage is the
chief issue on which the Conservatives
must triumph. He holds the reconstrue.
ton acts establishing military despOtism
in the South to be unconstitutional, null
and void, and that the National Conven-
ton should so declare them. That the
reconstruction acts being mere usur-
pations, sustained only by laWless
violence and the force of arms, that
the Government must Withdraw this
coercion, correct its wrong, and leave to
the white population the right TO regu-
late the question of suffrage. That the
bastard and spurious Governments set
up at the South will fall as soon
as the military is withdrawn. Further
more, he asserts that it is the duty
of the coming President to see that jus
tIce is done by restoring the govern
ments, which are created and properly
constituted Of the white population, to
those whom they belong. Gen. Blair
Gays that the laws Of Congress, disfran-
chisiDg persons who are embraced in the
amnesty proclamatiOns and special par
dons, are illegal, arbitrary and void, as
are also the test oaths for voters. Gen.
Blair is unwilling to accept or scQuiesce
in ANYTHING done by the Radical Con-
gress on the Fject of reconstruction.
He is for cOnfibing the government of
the country exclusively to the white
men, and is confident of an overwhelm-
ing defeat OF Radicalism if the Demo-
cratic platform is bold and dead issues
are ignored. He predicts a Tremendous
uprising of the people, such as has never
been seen in America. He declares that
if he were nominated and elected the
Radicals should not cheat him out of his
election by frauds or violence"
