Blaine is disappointed man and has
been nursing his wrath ever since his un-
expected and crushing failure to obtain the
Republican nomination for the Presidency
at the Cincinnati Convention. His defeat
even yet lies heavy on his soul and Wills

tone Of his letter is a public declaration of
hostility against the Southern policy of Mr..
Hayes, and is eagerly accepted as such by

ful proportions IN the Republican party,
headed by Blaine and others of his sch ool,
which Hayes will find it difficult, if not en-
tirely impossible, to quell
