WILL VOTE FOR BLAINE.

PENNSYLVANIA WILL VOTE FOR BLAINE.
From the Eastop, Penna. Free Press.
The National Blaine Club OF Washington, d.
c., OF which Hon. Hiram Price, of Iowa, is
chairman, and J. W. Bartlett, secretary, has 49,
sued the following il evidence OF the we'll
known fact that the heart OF PENNSYLVANIA is
for Blaine
That the Republicans OF the great State OF
Pennsylvania, uninhuenced by party machinery
or local interest, are largely for Hon. James G.
Blaine as their candidate for President, no can
did man, knowing the facts, can doubt. The
facts are, in brief
"1st. That, wherever the people were allow
ed 10 elect delegates to the late State conven-
ton at Harrisburg, they sent pronounced
Blame men, and the delegates so elected were
outvoted by delegates appointed by the county
committees who refused to call primary cleo
tions.
'2d. That. with this disadvantage, the ma
jority for the Grant instruction was 80 meagre
that change OF only eleven votes would have
given the delegation to Mr. Blaine.
I'D. That the newspapers or Pennsylvania
almost unanimously denounce the methods
adopted to beat the Blaine movement, and as
sert that his defeat under the circumstances,
was victory. Appended we give many ex-
tracts to verify this statement.
"4th. That the public opinion is 80 strong
against the devices by which the Republicans
were forced into their present position, and in
favor OF independent action by district dele
gates. that already we have assurances that
more than twenty such delegates will vote for
Mr. Blaine on the first ballot in the National
Convention and thereafter be Joined by many
others
In this expression OF opinion the facts are
not exceeded. but rather restricted within rea-
sonabe bounds by a disposition TO adhere TO
solid facts quite remarkable and rare IN docu-
ment intended for political effect The state
ment might also have been made that the
Blame men were in clear ajority In the con-
vention, but enough were seduced by purchase
threats, and promises from their allegiance TO
a support OF Don Cameron personally, under
the distinct assurance from that gentleman's
convention would not IN any way prejudice
Blaines interests. We do not yet believe that
by joining q conspiracy with Conklng in New
York, and perhaps Logan in Illinois, that Don
Cameron will 80 far reverse his fathers policy
OF good faith with the counties as to become
liar to whose deceit there are score OF wit
nesses. And we earnestly hope the young
Senator will justify our rather verdant con-
fidence in his veracty, and confuse the wiser
and older Republicans who scout the notion of
Cameron telling the truth except when it suits
an exigency.
Blaine's nomination Will be an assertion OF
the power OF the cor popuii, the highest au-
thority under our theory OF government.
Grants nomination will be the first step in the
establishment OF caste in American society
whose foundation-stone Is wealth, and whose
ambition is to transmit to their descendants an
inheritance OF power and influence in the Gov
eminent because OF money possessions instead
OF intellectual qualities. No man can deny but
that the very rich families in this country whose
iscentive to active business has passed away.
