WHY PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLIC ANS
WANT BLAINE.
From the Coatesville (Ps.) Times.

From the Coatesville (Ps.) Times.
The opposition OF the Republicans Of the
state is not either to Cameron or Grant per-
sonally, but to the $ third term as regards the
latter and the expressed determination of the
former to use the party OF the state to for
wardng his desires and ambitions regardless
of the will OF the people. The politicians of
Philadelphia received rebuke at the recent
election, which should be borne IN mind, and
which says as plainly asa words can speak
that the people are tired of being gov
erned by the few whose business it is to make
out the states. In every instance IN the city
in winch tickets were I" set up by the politl
clans they were defeated by the people, and
just so sure as Don Cameron and his coadju
tors, or any other ring OF politicians attempt
to carry the state against the will OF the peo-
Pile, just so surely will they be defeated and
we believe just as fully that if Gen. Grant
should be forced on the Convention at Chicago
in June that the Republican party will suffer
defeat in November, and we know OF no bet
ter man who can be placed on the ticket to in
sure walk over = to the White House than

that De Lesseps' Canal could not be construct

Let us suppose Gen. Grant nominated, cleo
ted, inaugurated. Does any one doubt that
history would repeat itself? Can any one
doubt that the men who began the present
agitation for third term would, IN due time
begin another for fourth term? We should
be told that the emergency he had been placed
In Office to meet was not yet ended that his
work would be left unfinished il he were com
PEELED to retire at the end OF one term. The
absurd claim that he is the only "strong man "
in Nation OF freemen would be revived. Let
any one who doubts this reflect that many men
who are now in Office, and will be in Office until
March 4, 1881, owe their places to Gen. Grant.
(This is the secret strength OF the third-term
movement.) Let it be remembered, also, tina
every man who is in Office after March 4, 1881,
would owe his continuance IN Office to Pres-
dent Grant. 1t would be astonishing, under
these circumstances, if, with the precedent of
third term already set, there were not loud
cry for fourth. Gratitude has been defined

views OF republicans Of Michigan on the pres

individual subscribers stood Blaine / SIS. Grant

by counties. and townships show about the
same general sentiment. The conclusions
reached by these figures are that Blaine is the
first choice OF large majority OF the repub

large moiority OF the others. While there is
opposition on the part OF many to third tom,
yet Gen. Grant shares with Mr.. Blaine the con-
iidence OF the working masses OF the party.

declares 1t has no special candidate OF its

stipulation is that the Chicago nominee shall

Having passed several s'eepllss nights,
disturbed by the agonies and cries of a
suffering child, and becoming convinced
that Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup was
just the article needed, procured a supply
for the child. On reaching home and ac-
quainting his wife with what he bad done,
she refused to have it administered to the
child, as she was strongly in favor of ho-
meopathy. That night the child passed
in suffering and the parents without sleep.
Returning home the day following the
father found the baby worse; and while
contemplating another sleepless night, the
mother stepped from the room to attend to
some domestic duties, and left the father
with the child. During her absence he
administered a portion of the Soothing
Syrup to the baby, and said nothing, That
night all hands slept well, and the little
fellow awoke in the morning bright and
happy. The mother was delighted with
the sudden and wonderful change, and,
although at first offended at the deception
practiced upon her, has continued to use
the Syrup, and suffering, crying babies and
restless nights have disappeared. A single
trial of the Syrup never yet failed to re-
iove the baby, and overcome the preju-
dices of the mother. Sold by all drug

DROWNED I'm THE RIVER.
Jas. Leary's Nine. Year Ola Boy abe
Victim OF Carelessness.

Jas. Leary's Nine. Year Ola Boy abe
Victim OF Careiessness.
About o'clock yesterday evening
Kesrney Leary, small son of ex-
policeman Leary, about 8 years Old,
was drowned In the river just short
distance above the lower ferry.
He with two or three other boys
were playing along the bank just
where the road leads to the river. He
was just at the waters edge throw.
ing into the river, lost his balance
and went in. One of his companions,
all of whom were badly scared, ran to
tell Mr.. Leary, who lives near by,
and passed some men on the way, but
didn't think to notify them. 1t was
quite deep, and there was strong cur
rent where the boy fell in, 80 that he
was carried down rapidly. He was
seen by one Of the boys the third time
he came up to clutch at a small skill
some distance below where he went in,
but in vain, and that was the last OF
him.
A considerable crowd was soon
gathered, and the river was
dragged fer some distance uI
and down, but without any
discovery. The steamer johnson
which was leaving about 6 O'Clock
kindly stopped and stirred up the
water in that locality, in the hope o
bringing the body to the surface, bu
that was in vain. There being such {
strong tide in the river, 1t is feared tn
body can not be found, but efforts viii
still be continued, and some ex
perienced river men will dive for hin
to-day. We understand that MI
Leary offers good reward for the re
coyery of the body.
