.BLAINEAND HIS ACCUSERS.

1t is now quite evident that Mr..
Blaine Will go into the Cincinnati
Convention ahead of all his COMPETE
tors who, few days since, counted
him outof the field and had begun
to speculate as to where his friends
would most likely throw their
strength. All speculation in that
direction has ceased, and Mr..
Blaine's friends will press his claims
to nomination by the Cincinnati
Convention with renewedconfidence,
zeal and energy.
Public opinion seldom speaks with
greater precision, clearness and conf
dence concerning an act or an utter
ance of a public man than it spoke
with reference to Mr.. Blaine's en-
broilment with Mulligan a few days
ago. Mr.. Blaine, as one of the most
prominent candidates for nominal
ton at Cincinnati, is regarded with
intense interest, not only by Repub-
leans, but by Democrats, and one
effect of the continuous assaults to
which he has been for some time ex-
posed has been to make him at once
the subject and the object of an al
most morbid feeling of irritation.
His splendid fight in the House on
Monday, in which he vindicated
himself and put his enemies to rout,
must elicit the universal opinion
that he is pre-eminently masculine
character. He fights his opponents
and enemies with superb energy and
elan, and no one capable of reading
or approaching the qualities of the
man, for moment doubts either his
courage or his resolution.
The American people admire pluck
and brains, and he has the requisite
elements of bold and successful
leader. His unparalleled achieveme-
ment i'm the House on Monday fully
attest this, and thousands of men OPP
posed to him politically, will feel adj
miration and respect for the man
who openly, boldly, singlehanded and
alone, met and overwhelmingly re-
pulsed his accusers and dispelled
their charges against him. But above
all the American people like fair play.
They will insist upon it even to an
opponent. And the conduct of the
Chairman of the judiciary Commit
tee, j. Proctor Knott, in withhold
ing an important telegram which he
now admits fully corrobarates the
testimony of Col. Tom Scott, and
completely exonorates Mr.. Blaine,
viii receive the just and indignant
condemnation which such conduct
deserves. Mr.. Blaine, i'm vindicating
himself, has placed Mr.. Knott in an
ugly position, which he has thus far
failed to explain satisfactorily. 1t

the genuineness Of the dispatch which
he carried in his pocket for four days.
In an hour he could have established
its authenticity. He did not do this,
but actually concealed the message
so vital to the vindication of Mr..
Blaine's honor-from the Committee
and thus giving grounds for the rea-
sonable supposition that it was his
deliberate, coolly calculated design
to hold it until after the meeting of
the Cincinnati Convention. Such

LETTER X CARSON.
CARLSON. June IL. l,

~ -
EDITORS SENTINEL: Yesterday the
wires bore to the Capital intelligence OF
the nominations made by the Repub-
leans at Cincinnati-Hayes for Presi-
| dent and Wheeler for Vice President.
The announcement fell upon the
hearts of the majority of the faithful
here like lead. The familiar siinile,
'like a wet blanket" fails to be signifi-
cant to express the feeling of the Re-
publicans in this quarter when il was
an ascertained fact that "Jim Blaine.
of Maine." had been made to yield up
the ghost to "Ohio's favorite son.,
The more pr ointment Republicans, and
indeed the majority of the party, IA
vored the ex~.Speaker, and when il
was known that his "goose was
cooked" his friends wore an aspect
quite resembling a hen that had for
for twenty-four hours h~eroically
withstood the winter drippings
from the caves of a country
barn. TITS pitiable to see them,
and sad 70 behold the detection of
those who expected to flaunt the
80 bloody shirt in the faces of the
"rebel Democracy" tor the ensuing
four months, and by virtue Of that
sangninary garment ono more to de-
ceive the people and to extend for an
additional four years the lease of mis-
rule, dishonest practices and bad gov
eminent. Having cruelty been de-
| prived of this stock in trade. they 20
into the coming fight without a watch
word and with no rallying cry where
with to stire the Northern hearts I"
and to again rouse the hate OF section
and the aninosilies eneendered by the
war. The battle must be fought, they
see. upon living issues and upou prin-
| cipIes of wholesale and needed reform.
The load of corruption and iniamy
which justly attaches to Grants ad-
ministration and through it to the Re-
publican Iarty, is a burden too heavy
for Hayes to bear. Under it he must
| succumb were his shoulders as broad
az those of Atlas, or his strength a
thousand fold superior to thai of Her
cules.
Yes sir, nobody enthuses here. To
snatch from them all chance of fight
ing over the war and to again fling The
bloody banner to the breeze was like
taking arms from a regiment and
commanding it to Lead a forlorn hope
against a full-armed and e~ntrenched
foe. Nothing is now left To the De
mocracy to do to insure an easy tri
umph, except to nominate Tilden and
Bayard al tie st. Louis Convention.
Thurman and Hendricks would do.
| With either of these tickets the De-
mocracy. in my judgment, would en-
10y a 'walk over" So mote it be.

is stopping there temporarily, being a
memIer of the Board of Visitors at
the West Point Military Academy. A
torch light procession and band stop
ped under his window. He inmedi-
ately appeared on the balcony and
said:
II thank you, gentlemen, for your
congratulations, for the honor which
probably il as unexpected to you as to
myself, and which has certainly no
been sought for by me. l was not Oh
Iivious of the fact hat my name had
peer mentioned by warm friends who

whe,ming evidence of the conven-
TONS favor, but l have been a soldier
in Republican ranks too long and have
emioyed its confidence O much not
To be aware of the high responsibility
which accompanies that confidence.
TO be nominated in times like these
by a great party which, despite its oc-
c~asi0nal shortcomings, represents in
its fullest extent the intelligence, the
patriotism and conscience OF the
country, il indeed an honor. The So
called tidal wave of 1874, which swept
the Democratic party into power IN the
Lower House of Congress has re
suited in demonstrating to the Ameri-
can people the utter untitness OF that
party for every n of the duties re-
quired OF it for the past seven months.
The Democratic majority in the House
of Representatives has been on trial
before the nation, and the nation IL
ready to render a verdict that the Dem
ocratic party has been false to its
promises, false TO its duties and false
to its opportunities for reform which
were presented to it. 1t Is to h Re-
publican party that we to day are in
debted for the privilege Of celebrating
the one hundredih anniversary of our
independence, and 1t II the same noble
party that we intend to consign the
Government in the future. DO not
doubt, gentlemen, that in the coming
canvass we shall achieve a splendid
triumph with that honored soldier and
patriotic citizen, Gov. Hayes, at our
head, and the entire Republican party
of all shades and opinions supporting
him; we have but TO do our duty as
honest voters and good citizens and
victory is ours. Again, gentlemen, l
thank you for this manifestation of
your approval OF the conventions
