Maine Republicans by the Ears.
NEW YORK, July 30th.-Corres-
pondeuce of the Times gives details
of bitter quarrels between Repubii-
can leaders in Maine, showing
pretty clearly that the reception Of
Secretary Sherman by the people
left a good deal to be desired on the
score of cordiality, and that ma
jority of Republicans in the State
much more absorbing and impor-
tant issue than questions of finan-
cial policy. Their Democratic and
Greenback opponents, whose union
is now complete, have used the
writer to good purpose in dissemi-
mating unsound financial doctrines;
but bitter as their experience has
been of the danger of evading such
discussion, Maine Republicans
have more of liking for old party
cries. The Times in this connection
confesses that the issue ia Maine is
close and doubtful, and that neither
party will likely elect Governor,
and that the struggle will be for
the Legislature.

Should the President decide to
again give Pennsylvania the ap-
pointment of the English Minister

State upon whom the party has
been able to agree as candidate
for any Federal position. Several
influential persons suggest the ap-
pointment of Grant to succeed
Welch, and have decided to call
upon the President and urge his
choice. A confidential friend of
Grant has received recently most
positive declaration from the Gen.
eral that he will not permit his
name to be used for the Presidency
1t is believed he would accept the
English mission, as in doing so he
need not give up certain plans of
his own, which he has been matur-
ing.

this morning, wherein it says:
"You can never be President of the
