GRANT, BLAINE and HAYES

A W shington correspondent OF the Chi
csgo TrJurc has had az interview with Mr..
VIM. Rule, the editor OF the only daily
Repub lean paper in the Confederate States,
and re ports his views on the political situa-
ton ia the South, al considerable length
This gentleman thinks the Republicans OF
the North are building OF 4 false fouuds-
ton when they hope TO cary ery Ct the
Southern States for any man that may be
nominated on the Republican ticket-that
the ex rebels have not yet given up the
hope of electing Democratic President
next year, and SO long rs this Is the case
they will carry everySouthernStste for any
man the Democracy may put up. As to
the sentiments of the Southern Republicans
we copy from the correspondents report OF
the interview as follows:
"what are the Southern Republicans going
to do in the National Convention :"
alt is probably too early to speak for them
yet; but, judging from what have seen of
them, if the convention was held no~, they
WOULD ALL SUPPORT GRANT
IL he were a candidate. Blaine would be q
strong man, and Sherman has considerable
strength in Tennessee. although there is not
as much said about him now as there was
few months ago."
"Who are the sherman men"
The business men-men VINO have large
business interests-are for Sherman. ] heard
q prominent Democrat, who is a leading rail-
road man in that State, say that he would
like to see Sherman President, and 1 have no
doubt that he would vote for him. At the
same time, however, he remarked that he
would rather see Hayes President than any
other man in the United States"
HAS Hayes any following there >"
Hayes stands high in that country, es-
pecially since the recent extra session of
Congress. 1t Is generally understood that he
will persist in not being a candidate for
second term. II he were a candidate, have
no doubt that he would develop good deal
of strength there"
