CURRENT OPINION.

KENTUCKY will give the nominee of
the st. Louis convention big vote!
The democracy will pan Out, wfll this
centennial Greensboro Aie'd.
THE public of the present day arc a
great deal more interested in the doings
and misdoings of Mr.. Chandler's prede-
cessor, Mr.. Columbus Delano, and mis-
hangerson, than they are with those OF
Thompson or any other of the Office
holders Of the ante bellum days.-PhiL
adelphid Telegraph.
THEY have caught Bristo* at last
lie ran away from she'll at Fort Donel-
son, instead Of calmly claspng it to his
bosom and going to glory, as Mr.. Blaine,
or Mr.. Morton. or Mr.. Conkling would
have done. 1t is the usual custom, we
understand, for soldiers to gather about
| live shell and watch the development
of its Phitadelphn Item.
THE only ring that stufrs ballot boxes
which is still in existence is the republi
can ring in Philadelphia The democracy
may carry Pennsylvania, and they will
certainly bend every effort to do NO, b,:t
they will have against them all the ma
chinery Of ring that is as corrupt as il
is venerable. The Keystone state for
the coming campaign Tor our party, a,
well as the other, is the great state Of

THE fact that there are republican,
who believe that there is a possibility
that Blaine suppressed parts of the let
ters which he read to the house on Mon
day, is not very flattering evidence o
esteem for him as an honorable man
Tn, New York Times Washington dis
patch, in referring to the reading of tn,
letters, shows what suspicious have beer
excited in the following: 1t is noticed
that in none OF his statements has h,
said that he had shown the letters to an,
Person. He always stated that he haC
read them to so and so. He read then
to two friends the first night they wer,
in his possession. He said to the com
mittee he would read them to two hun
dred people within week, and he rea,
them IN the house of representatives. i
is usual to send such documents to th,
clerks desk to be read. 1t was natural
however, that Mr.. Blaine should desr
to emphasize words in his own way, an,
to give them the best possible construc
tion; but it was noticed that as soon a
he had read letter, it was quietly folde,
and slipped into the pocket of his privat,
secretary, and that none of his letter
considered important were open to tn,
inspection OF any person. They wer'
not accessible for the purpose of maxim,
copies from last night. The suggestion
contained in this paper Of possible sup
preston of parts of the letters may be
very unfair one, but, nevertheless, it il
quite currently circulated. 1t is fair t,
say, on the other hand, the possibility o
suppressing any part of the letters by
this method would seem to be very re
mote, and it is asserted in the broades
manner that every word and every syl
liable was read to the house and printed
in the record.
