THE BALTIMORE "DEu1suHE CORRESPONDENT
says editorially: During the struggles Of the
last few Days at Chfcaeo against the nomination
Of Grant, q great portion Of tho Republican
party, which heretofore appeared to he chained
to the destiny Of the silent man and the rulings
of his machine, appears in a better and purer
light. We are only sorry that this courageous
and desperate opposition did not assert itself
sooner. The nucleus Of tho opposition against
Grant was to be found until lately among Ger
man Republicans, and If the Blaine forces had
coulmen ced their determined fight against tho
third-ter.ner sooner, t. O.. before the State
Convention at Harrisburg, Pa. 1t would

may continue. Whether Grant can be nom

forcement Of the unit rule he would be success

4niveau' OF demigod to the level OF all other
mortals and candidates; he must then take his
chances in the scramble with the rest. These
chances might yet be considered us good pro-

that two can play ut. In Chicago 1t will be DEM
