These letters show conclusively that a large num-
Der of the Republicans reached by this method pre-
fer the nomination Of Mr.. Blaine to that of any
other candidate.
Next to Senator Blaine stands Secretary Sher-
man. who is supported bv considerable proportion
of the men heard from who represent the business
and material interests of the State. Secretary Sher-
man is the second choice of almost all the Blaine
men, and vice versa.
Next TO the two stands Senator COnkling who
be the first choice of about ten persons out
OF the Repu bcans heard from. and the third choice
of a considerably larger portion. Not one man in
in five or six declares either that he will not
himself support General Grant if nominated or
that Grant could by means poll the full Republi-
can vote of the town he writes from. Very many OF
the latest letters complain of the early date at
which the State Convention has been called or at
which it proposed to call it at the time the let
ters we're written.
While the writer's of these letters were not asked
or expected to start boom" for any candidate,
but simply to report the wishes of the Republicans
of their several localities it is only fair TO the
Conkling and machine Republicans. so-caled. to
say that almost all the correspondents are
recognized anti-machne men. and NAV have given
more prominence 10 views in accord with their own
than to those which they do not agree to- In other
words. if the report had been made by C0nklhg
men they would probably have found more sup
porters of COnklng and Grant; but 1t is hardly
possible that the hundreds OF correspondents VINO
have made their reports can be entirely mistaken III
their estimate of Republican opinion.
There is every reason, therefore, TO believe that

have lent it to him and he will have to pay inter
est on this borrowed money This interest is to be
calculated at such rate that at the end OF thirty
five years the farmer will have paid off principal
and interest together; and so the farm become alb
solutely his own, free from every sort OF
incumbrance, whether in the shape OF rent
or interest or charge of any kind for
debt Mr. Bright computes that the rents now
paid for land are so high that the farmer need pay
under this thirty-ive years arrangement, 10 more
than he now pays for rent. He believes that great
quantities of land would. if such an act were
passed, speedily be thrown into the market; that
absentee landlords, for example. would be glad to
part with troublesome property. And he would
compel the London companies who are the owners
of great estates in Ireland to sell them to this Com
mission. In one way another he counts upon the
sale and purchase being general to bring about
peaceful exchange of the ownership of Irish land;
of the bulk of it, counts therefore, upon the even
tual extinction of the landlord class; and upon
creating a State in which they VINO till the land
shall own the land.
That is Mr. Brigh1s plan, divested of everything
that is not essential, and stated simply as can
state it, He has illustrated and adorned 1t with all
the arts of his incompatible eloquence and almost
Incompatible power of putting case. He declares
it to he the best way of dealing with the land. Ad-
hitting that 1t Is gradual, he insists that the ne"
owner would soon feel that he had got hold on
the land, and that, though long years must elapse
before his title became perfect the good effect OF
the change would be seen almost Mt in the cul-
tivatIon of his farm, which he would feel to be his
The burden that weighs upon the people-their
sense of the wrong done them-wOuld be lifted.
Social revolt, such exists in Connaught,
would become impossible. There wOnld no longer
be a public opinion in Ireland in favor OF wild
theories and lawess practices; shooting landlords
would cease to be a popular pastme; and Irish
dsafection connected as it is with the present sys-
TEN of land ownership and continuing as n protest
against "landOrdism would be n thing OF the
past. Ii Is a beautiful picture. If Mr.. Bright
could give reality to his vision, he would be the
GREATEST benefactor Ireland has ever had. But
whether, If he could PERSUADE Parliament to pass
such an Act. the results he anticipates would fol-
low, whether his vision of white-handed hope, of
peace and plenty and content woud be realized, Is
a question on which much remains to be said.

WASHINGTON Feb. S.-The fight over the nomina-
ton of Mr. Simmons, of Georgia. to be supervisor
of the census may possibly cause permanent splis
in the Democratic party in Georgia. One of the OBJ
jections urged by Senator Gordon and his friends
against Mr. Simmons is that he is lliterate, and it
is especially said that Mr. Simmons is poor speiler.
This appears to be quite a grave objection in the
minds Of Southern Democrats 10 any candidate for
office; but sometimes Southern Democrats whose
orthoraphy is not irreproachabe do get INTO office.
