They might choose Blaine. il will, OF
course, tc said but it is very well
known that the leaders Of the third
term movement have from the begin
ing been hostile to Blaine. They de-
teAted him in 1876; they have never
trusted him since and Mr Cameron il

take up another candidate be was op.
posed to Blaine under any circumstsb

great aud widespread. and this is an
other reason why the machine leaders
would take up another man. To take

jewellers in "Cipher Alley" will no
venture to question.
