such matters we usually adhere to facts-when

writes: 1.-THE opposition against Grant is un-

by and between any one Of tho candidates Of the
opposition with Grant. In the front ranks Of
tho coulbntants against Grant stands, now as
before, MIR. Blaine. Thanks to his exer1ons,
above all, Grant did not achieve victory in

TIE DET1OIT ADESD-PosT,
in discussing the situation in which the Repub-
lican party is placed BY the rule-or-rufn policy
of a few too ambitious Bosses, says editorially
as follows: "Tho Republican party will pass
through fiery ordeal at Chicago. It will there
be demonstrated whether principles shall
be sacrificed to personal interests,
whether gang Of conspirators can, uuopposed,
follow up and carry our their esotistical schemes
and plans, and defy the will of thousands and
thousands Of honest and true citizens, or
whether principles shall prevail and the major
ity shall rule If, Notwithstanding all opposi-
ton the nomination 0f Grant ia forced upon US,
tho party can only escape tho dictatton Of the
ConkiiuE- Logan confederation By q

such M extrome remedy, and upon this fear the
Yriumvirate built its plans. Snecringly. they
