Is THE NOMINATION OF TILDEN A
NECESSITY

We find this question answered
afirmatively by the New York Sun
of the 10th, which says: If there
was any doubt about the nomina-
ton of Governor Tilden before, we
think the action of the Cincinnati
Convention has removed all uncer-
tainty about the matter. 1t can be
of no advantage to any one to UNI
derestimate the strength of the
ticket set up at Cincinnati. Tha.
strength may be of a negative char
acter, but it is nevertheless YER.
formidable. 1t is too great t,
be safely encountered with an,

side and it seems very clear tina.
the strongest candidate on that sid,
is Governor Tilden. We think ,
good deal may be learned by tn,
developments at Cincinnati. The,
indicate very plainly that the idei
of reform is powerful with tn
mass of the people. Mr.. Blain
had the prestige derived from hi
recent manifestation Of desperat
courage in repelling the attack
made upon him; the enthusiasm Q
the party was in his favor; but
was impossible to obtain the vote
of a majority of the dele

ANOTHER DRAMATIC SURPRISE FOR
MR.. BLAINE.

Under this heading the Nashville
American, of yesterday, says: "The
enthusiastic Republican admirers
of Mr.. James G. Blaine, ex-Speaker
of a Republican House of Repre-
sentatiyes and favorite' for the Re-
publican nomination for President
at Cincinnati, dilate eloquently
upon his wonderful capacity for
startling situations and dramatic
surprises. There is a surprise in
this mornings dispatches, with
which his name is damagingly con-
nected, which will strike the aver
age honesty of the country as the
most startling if not dramatic of
the many surprises in which Mr..
Blaine has played conspicuous parts.
The Western Union Telegraph
Company produced some kilograms
before the House Judiciary Com
mittee yesterday, from which it APP
pears that the celebrated exculpa-
tory dispatch from Josiah
Caldwell to Hon. Proctor
Knott about Blaine, was sent to
Caldwell from Washington, with
the request to cable it Immediately
to the chairman of the House Ju-
dietary Committee. In corrobora-
ton of this, a Washington special
to the Philadelphia Evening Tele-
gram, says it can be stated on I'M.
questionable authority that the ex.
culpatory cable dispatch purport-
ing to have come from Mr.. Cald.
well from London was never SEN
by that person, though actual,
sent from London with his name a
the signature. 1t seems to be prett,
well authenticated that the excul
patory cable dispatch, embraced il
a cable telegram from this side o
the Atlantic, originated on this sid,
and was sent to an assumed ad
dress in London which ha(
been agreed upon previous
ly, and the exact words sen
back to this country by tn.
London confederate in obedienc,
to instructions. If this astound
ing development be real, it not onl,
spikes the pretentious Maine gul
for this campaign, but damni
henceforth, the doughty Radios
hero Of the House with an immol
tally. In the way of circumstar
tial evidence nothing could be mo
convincing to the country that tn
man is, at least, not too good to b
guilty of all the charges preferre
against him, and, barring its en-
phatic profanity, to justify the II
mark of Mr.. Knott to Mr.. Fry,
that the latter's friend, Blaine, Wa
the g. scoundrel in America"

A Curious Graft.

Portland (Me) Pressl
More than six years since a New
Brunswick farmer living on the
Upper st. John took it into his
head to build a vessel in which to
take his family to Australia. He
went to st. John, and there visited
a ship-yard for the first time in his
life, and examined the build of a
schooner. Returning home with a
few tools and a book on navigation,
he worked all the time he could
get days, and studied with the aid
Of his wife his navigation book
evenings. At the end of six years
his vessel was completed. During
the spring freshets he aoated the
craft down to st. John. AT that
time he had expended every dollar
he could raise, including the pro.
ceeds Of the sale of his farm. Mr.
Pomeroy, an American shipper, saw
the craft, and finding that it wa
an object of curiosity, advanced tn
money for an outfit, and chartered
her to take to Philadelphia. TIL
craft is said to be not only a grea
curiosity in point of construction
but has numerous inventions neye

builder, has studied out himself
