There are auspicious indications that he is
engaged with the Blaine literary bureau and
charged with the special duty Of supervising
the associated press reports-[ Hawkeye.
There are men in the New Jersey delegation
to Chicago who are personally known TO prefer
Grant. When the case comes to be understood,
that state will be far from solid for Blaine.

political grounds is honest and inteligibe

largest proportion of fraud.

II curious fact that while the apti-Grant
