have nomination thrust upon them which
they 90 not want. 1t may make no differ
ence which way the California delegates go,
but if Grant is the candidate, the Chinese
sentiment he entertains will defeat him,
while Blaine would be certain to carry the
State. AS matter of fact, five out OF every
six Republicans now express themselves as
in favor OF Blaine.
Cincinnati Commercial: The Hon.
Jacob Mueller, ex-Lieutenant Governor of
Ohio, and now the controlling spirit around
the Wachter an, Erie Office OF this city, the
leading German paper of Northern Ohio, has
been making a careful study OF the German
feeling in Ohio, especially in the north
ern part, on the Presidential question. Mr.
Mueller says that from his observations and
knowledge of the German character, ne is
satisfied that nothing can take place which
would reconcile the feelings of the Germans
to General Grant. l candidly believe that
Grant would not get fifty votes among all the
Germans of Cleveland. In fact l have not
seen one who has said that he would vote for
him. ....
THE st. Louis Globe Democrat thinks the
proper thing for Southern Democrats to do is
to send delegates to the Cincinnati Conven-
ton prepared to support any candidate whom
q majority of the Northern Democrats may
select. We esteem that advice so good that
we would like to see it applied to Republican
delegates sent from the South to the Chicago
Convention. We believe those States which
are expected to elect Republican President
should have the naming of the candidate.
Third Term advocates, however, see no logic
in this presentment of the case. Should they
consent to any such reasonable and just prop
osition not the shadow Of doubt would re-
main as to who would be the Republican
choice for President. Blaine would be that
man by an overwhelming majority.
