are sanguine of success, each having
iuIl confidence 10 the strikers, leaders

party strings-candidates for the Pres

opinion they are doomed to disappoint-

'ake them up in regular order, and

Now comes the big Indian, James
G. Blaine, from away down in Maine
He will be the Republican candidate
unless all signs fail. He is popular
all along the sea coast, especially
among the fisherman Of Maine and
Massachusetts,, who derive their scan
ty subsistence from catching aud salt,
ing cod fish and mackerel He is the
author of the bill to allow salt to be
brought into all of our ports, duty free
: providing it is used for sailing fish
, But how ought he stand as candidate
among our western farmers who are
: compelled to pay duty of nieuty per-
T cent. For salt for their cattle, as well
as for preserving their beef and pork
, We don't think'he will get much of a
vote in the West or. South.
