WASHINGTON March 2-An index OF popular SEN
tinent on any great National question is the express
sion of the country newspapers when their editors
are left to themselves in the formation of opinions
The country editor, from the very nature OF hIs
work u thrown into contact with the people. MS
office is often the place where the politicians meet
and it il seldom that a country paper does not repre-
sent fairly the opinions OF majority OF Its readers
Tins far i'm the present Presidential contest o eN-
tended efiOrtis known TO have been made by either
of the caud dates his friends TO win the support
of the country newspapers, a. Tden did IN 1876;
so that their expression of preferences may be
taken in great majority of cases as representing
fairly the wishes OF their constituents but to ma
out how these papers stand is no easy task
There Is in Washington entcrprslng firm Of
advertising agents, who conduct their business on
the following plan They offer to furnish country
newspapers with weekly letters from the National
capital. and to take their pay in advertising space,
which they i'll turn sell u their advertising patrons
Auunber of special letters are prepared one set for
Republican Journals and another for Democratic
newspapers and duplicate copies of these letters are
mailed, care being taken not tO send more than one
COPY of the same letter to the same State The
Washington firm referred 10 have on their list be
tween 900 and 900 country newspapers, repre-
senting almost every State and Territory in the
Union and TO all these weekly letters are furnished
A few weeks ago the manager undertook TO asceT-
tain the preferences IL regard to the Presidential
nomination of the newspapers which he served, IN
order that the letter lie sent TO each might agree in
policy with the journal in which they were printed.
That Is. they propose % write Blame, CRAM, Shet-
man. rden, Bayard and Seymour letters, OF letters
CONTAINING pins supporting each, aud 70 send
them 10 the papers which supper, the respective
candidates. They therefore sent out tie following
circular to their patrons;

To this circular upward Of 700 rcpss have
already been received. A few Of the editors an
