The prophets who killed Mr.. Blaine off as a
Presidential candidate a few weeks ago are silent
and astounded at the rapid strides he is making.
Every day reports come TO hand showing addition
al States in his favor. The st. Louis Republican
says Missouri and Iowa will probably join Wis
consin and Illinois in supporting him, and the
Chicago Tribune declares that the declaration of
Wisconsin in his favor was but the expression OF
a growing sentiment that has asserted itself un-
mistably throughout the West during the last few
weeks. The Tribune predicts "There is every
probability that the action Of the Wisconsin Con-
vention will be followed by that of Iowa, Mime
sofa, Michigan, Kansas, Nebraska and the Pacific
States. Illinois, too, though having the same
natural preference for Mr. Washburne that Indi-
ana has for Mr. Morton, does not feel like press
ing her candidate after having enjoyed the honor
of the Presidency for l6 years. unless in the event
of such division in the Convention as should war
rant the presentment and Jealous and persistent
advocacy of Mr.. Washburne; and so she will
probably join with the other Western States in
supporting Mr.. Blane's candidate at the outset as
against that of any one else.' The sound of the
popular voice for Blaine in this part of the country
is by no means uncertain. York Tribune.
