blaine Sweeping the West.

Hon. Hiram Price is becoming en-
thusiastic over Blaine. He says:
Wherever elections are free and the
people make their own nominations,
James G. Blaine is the fayori,e candi-
date for President. Wherever the Re
publican mnjorities at the polls are larg-
est and steadiest, there the popularity
of James G. Blaine is greatest, and the
desire for his nomination the most
prominent.
The grand uprising for him In the
strong Republican counties OF New
York and Pennsylvania during the
current preliminary canvass, is the best
testimony that he is the representative
Of stalwart and hearty Repnblicanism.
But, next TO The firm attachment o!
his own constituents in Maine, the very.
strongest proof of Mr.. Blaine's hold up
Oh the Republican heart comes from the
great, generous, and progressive West,
where political opinions are as free as
the winds that sweep the prairies, ana
the machinery Of intrigue cannot stiile
the popular voice. In Iowa, and Wis
consin, and Illinois, and Indiana, and
Kansas, from the Allegany Mountains
TO the Pacific Coast, and from the Ohio
iuyer TO the Iakcs,-the Republican
masses have remained true TO tncir
choice of 1876, and are now marching
forward to set up at Chicago the stand
ard of James G. Blaine.
There is an inspiration in the attach
mcnt of the new and expanding popu-
lat ion of the great, free West for the
leader who halls from the extreme
East. The magnetism Of the great po-
1itical leader, the faithfulncss of the
Senator, the c%loqucmce Of the popular
orator, the wisdom Of the statesman, all
50 completely harmomlze in the Maine
Senator that the people everywhere,
left to Their own free will, rally about
him rs about no other living man. His
presence in the West calls out the big
gest crowds Of auditors, and his name
calls forth the loudCst applause. And
now that the Republicans arc once
moro looking for a chieftain WHO Il
lead them to assured victory, spontane-
ousIy they turn to the strongest, the
most capable of Ill their hOnored pub
lie men, and the name of James &.
Blaine is already inspiring them with
anticipations or a campaign unsurpass-
ed for enthusiasm and force, and with
the hope of overwhelming majortties
everywhere.

WASEEBURNE r..
A Candidate Except as Against
Grant.

Chicago special to the Cincinnati
COmwcrtlQl; The question of the candi-
dacy Of !. B. w%ashburne is getting the
newspapers b. the ears. The Inter
Oceln has twice within Il mouth pub
lishcd letters FROM the gentleman in
question, stating that in n0 contingent
.cy wouldhe be a candidate for the Pres
idential nomination. The Tribune has
abounded with the affirmation that Mr..
Washburne only meant that he would
not bc a candidate against General
Grant. The last letter which the Inter-
Ocean published was IL bearing the
date of Feb. u, in which Mr.. Wash
burnc wrote to a friend in Mt. Carmel,
dissuading him from starting a Wash
buruc Club, ana adding, II cas-, under
no circumstances or conditions, become
candidate fer President. General Grant
is my first, last aud only choice"
The Stats Zeitung row appears in
the controversy, aud says that, Oh the
occasion when the IGter~ Ocean pub
lished the first Washburne letter re-
fusing the candidacy the Stats Zeitung
puts ms statements in their true light,
which was that Mr.. Washburne was
not q candidate against Grant, and
would not be n candidate so long as
Giant remained such but that If Grant,
unable to get q majority in the Nation
al Convention, voluntarily withdrew
from the race, there would be nothing
to induce Waslburne to reject the nom
ination as the party's candidate, aud he
in such case would not reject 1t. This
morning the Stats Zeitung sums UP in
these words, referring to the letter
written 70 the Mt. Carmel friend:
clad the Iuter-Ocean been guilty of
tic uufairness of SURPRISING the date
of this letter, it might have the effect
of II new negative declaration, but that
was not done. The letter is dated
February -, a day before the above
mentioned announcement Of the Inter-
Ocean, and three days before the cX-
plantations published in The Illinois
Stats Zeitung under the head, a Can
! didate Against His Will.' Four days
aud eleven days after the date of that
| Mt Carmel letter, the writer 0ftlIis ar
ticls Herman Rastcr) had long con-
vcrsation with Mr.. WashbuTme, in
which he expressed his concurrence in
view of the case taken in the Article of
the Stats Zeitung Of February lG."
This positive editorial declaration
seems to leave 10 doubt that Mr..
Vashburnc, who is an original Grant
man, will DO all il his power to have
Graut nominated hut that when once
Grant is Oh the track, he will appear as
the original Wasnburne man, ana dc
all In his power to have him noInina-
ted. The case may be regarded as dis
posed Of &idi that understanding. Mr.
Waslburo leit for Hot Springs last
night, and will probably meet Grant
hqfareh iS rciWrQ.

Nudge Il ocI, Nerve.

Cincinnati Enquirer: Judge Loeb
.rane, of Georgia, the southern demo
crat who has been most prominent IN
his advocacy of Grant, has offered to
Det 81. 900 that Grant will receive at the
Chicago convention 1913 votes on the
first ballot, thus giving him the nomi-
nation. He figures il out that he will
9layc $50 votes in solid state delegations
and 1OS, at least, from delegations that
are divided. OF course, everybody viii
say that Judge Lochranc doesn't know
ANYTHING more about it than thousands
.of other politicians. The answer &c
this IS, however, that he probably
knows as much, and is besides, ready
TO back his opinion with his money
which shows that he has nerve.

consider reliable authority that you are
daily in the corridors and ante-rooms
of the senate, d%enouncing me in most
ungentlemanly and uncalled for terms
for having acted as counsel for Miss
Raymond, Il Georgia woman, who, up
on oath before a notary public in this

father of her child. ] have ever learn

conspiracy, bl ackman, etc. My object
in addressing you this letter is for the
purpose of assuring you that | am ready
to meet that or any other accusation
which you may bring against me.
Even though | may fail to substantiate
the allegations Of Miss Raymond, who
seems to have been tempered with by
you or some of your strikers, yet, if
given the opportunity, | think l can
clearly establish the fact tlat S9u are
not a Joseph in morality, and that more
than Que Washington family mourn
aud refuse to be comforted in cOuse-
quencc of your actions. Letmc remind
you, sir, that you are not in Georgia,
where you can bully and make people
afraid, but that you are in a commune
ty of law, order and decency, where
you will be made to respect the laws. /
therefore request that you cease yoIr
yapory denunciations, and meet as ole
lawyer should meet another, with law
aud facts for forum, and not with scan
dial and yituperaticn, which prove moth
ing but the weakness Of the man who
uses such means to influence the public
mind. You are invited to proceed
against ne in the courts if you feel
yourself a]ggrieyed.
! might also add, if necessary, that
could call by name a family recently re-
siding Oh capitol hill whose sixteen
year old daughter you have ruined
whose younger brother you have made
a page in the Senate; another brother
you have placed in the signal office,

A SEmaIl BID Of EIOguenCe.

From the Newark american: The
State journal yesterday published a
call signed by two thousand stalwart
Republicans for Il Blaine meeting to be
held at the City-hall, Thursday even
ing, February 10, 1850. Three hun
drcd Of the citizens of Circlevillc de-
maud IA fair count by sending notice to
the Journal that they are for Blaine.
SteubeLvtle is for Blaine; Bellaire is
booming for Blaine; a fair canvass in
his county will show that two thirds
of the Republicans are for Blaine. A
majority Of the Republicans everywhere
are for The man that has ''torn from the
throat of treason the tongue of SANDER;
the man that has snatched the mask Of
Democracy from the hideOus face of re-
bellion the man who like an intelleC-
tual athlete, has stood in the arena,
challenging all corners, and up to the
present time Is apertect stranger to de-
| feat. Like an armed warrior, Ike Il
plumed knight, James &. Blaine march
led down the halls of the American
Congress, and threw his shining lance
full and far against the brazen fore
head of every deiamcr and maligner of
his country. For the Republican par
ty to desert that gallant man now is
for an army to desert their General up
on the field of battle We are for
James G.. Blaine.

THE TISSUE BALLOT PLAN.
One Variation Of IL which did
not work in South Carolina.

Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette (:
Gentlemen WHO have arrived from
South Carolina explain how it happen
ed that the democratic bill, originated
by the tissue ballot men of last year,
for the Acknowledgement of coiored vo-
tiers, came to be defeated. The meas
tire provided that no II should vote
except such az could write their names
on the registry list. This occaSioned
great CONSERVATION in the upper coun-
tics, where it was estimates thatin two
of them alone two-thirds Of the white
citizens would be excluded from The
polls, and that in the state ut large, at
least 10000 whites would be disfran-
chised. The matter bid fair TO disrupt
the party, and the old feud between
the up and the low country men, which
ragged before the war, was being famed
into life again. SO bitter was the feel
ing that the managers saw the abso-
lutte necessity of abandoning this plan.
One of the arguments against the bill
was much to the credit Of the colored
citizens of the state-namely. that
within three months every cOlored
adult in South Carolina would learn
to write lis name, while the majority
of the poor whites could not be Undue
ed to take this trouble for the sake Of
citizenship.

American: Mr.. Alexander IL. Steph-
ems, of Georgia, feeling aggrieyed as to
recent objection of certain Democratic
members ofthe House to his making a
speech on the report of the Committee
on Rules, expressed himself later as
having been iusulted, and his plain
language to that effect created a stir
among his party friends. They called
a meeting of the Democratic members
Of the Committee on Rules Of each
branch Of Congress, with a view of
pacifying the irate Georgian, but he
refused to attend, and those present
at the meeting finally concluded to let
him sulk it ont. Mr.. stephens, hear
Ing of these actions, sent Il conditional
