Our Boston Letter.
Presidential Booms-M Massachusetts SEN
timent-Grant, Blaine, Sherman-How
the Newspapers Stand-Butler and the
Democrats-Railroad Consolidation.
BosToN, Feb. II, 1880.

Boston, Feb. II, 1880
The Presidential ''booms' now constitute
the leading topics of discussion in the journals
of this State and also with the politicians. 1t
is utterly impossible to place Massachusetts,.
Were her delegation to "vote as a unit" James
G. Blaine would undoubtedly be the choice.
But that will not be. Massachusetts, has no
"boss'' as some say Cameron is in Pennsylva-
MIA and Conkling in New York. Republican
ism here means very much Of Independence.
Our Republicans will not be dictated to. They
will not all follow the lead Of any one man.
So it is more than probable that the delegation
will cast votes for Blaine, Grant and Sherman,
and perhaps for others. Sherman is not very
strong here. The fact that Collector Beard is
hard at work for him is, il anything, detri-
mental to his interests. Beard is in poor favor
among men Of all parties The supporters Of
Grant are enthusiastic but not very numerous.
They consist mainly of those few people who
have convictions and are not afraid to speak
them, like the Traveller, for instance the only
Grant paper in Boston. The frank and file"
of the Republican party is for Blaine when the
proper time comes There is no organized effort
in his behalf, nor will there be, but feeling
Is gaming GROUND lnat NO Is, all IN all, the
best man. Many of the Stalwarts, who, at
heart are for Grant, feel that he cannot be
nominated and that they must unite on some
Stalwart to defeat the conservatives. They al
so fear that if Grant is nominated he will be
bolted by that large class of independents who
came so near defeating Hayes in 1876 land as
you know I believe did defeat him). They
naturally turn to Blaine as the one man who,
while representing their ideas in the main,
has more strength wsth the Independents. On
the other hand many conservatives who
would prefer Washburne or Garfield, or some
such man-are turning towards Blaine as the
only man who can be nominated over Grant,
whom as we all know, they will not support,
even in preference to Democrat like Bayard.
So i say, between these conflicting interests
without any personal efforts of his own, and
without any retinue of wire-pullers, Mr.. Blaine
has every chance of securing the larger part
| of the Massachusetts, delegation to the Chica-
| 60 convention. 1t is little significant in this
| direction, that the Herald. paper which un-
| questionably prevented Mr.. Blaine's nomina-
| ton in 1876 by its violent, and. as it seems,
| uncalled for attacks ON him, now speaks of
| him in warm terms commends many of his
| acts and rarely critcises him. 1t is, in truth,
| very fair Blaine Organ. and his strongest
| supporter among the Boston papers to-day.

Executive Prerogative and the
Name Democracv.

Name Democracy.
The attention of the Democrats of Maine
who are so sensitive about alleged encroach-
ments upon Executive authority by other
branches of government is earnestly directed
to real encroachments made and now de-
Tended by the Democratic majority in the
National House of Representatives. The
struggle over the famous twenty-frst rule
has been brought to close and has resulted
in defeat for the Republicans. The
House has reaffirmed its usurped privilege
of attaching political riders to appropriation
bills
The object of this legislation is, as we all
know, coercion of the Executive by hostile
congressional majority. A striking example
of the monstrous abuses to which it leads
was afforded at the extra session when the
Democrats threatened to withhold the ap-
preparations necessary for carrying on the
several branches of government unless the
President would violate his oath and give
his official approval to political measures
which he believed to be mischieyous and
menacing the true interests of the country.
In that attempt the Democratic majority
suffered virtual defeat, and at the Fall elec-
tions the people expressed emphatic disap-
proval of it's course. Unmindful of the re.
buke it accepts the earliest opportunity to
reaffirm the position then taken.
If the Democratic party desires to go into
the contest on the issues raised at the extra
session Of Congress the Republicans will
gladly join battle with it. Better fighting
ground could not be selected had we tn.
choice But how the Democrats # Maine
who profess to cherish so high a regard fol
Executive prerogative can occupy it would
be mystery were one not we'll aware ol
their suicidal facility for changing front in
the very face Of battle.

New YORK Tribune: 1t has been noted
as somewhat remarkable that not peep
has been heard from Garcelon since he has
returned to practice" Several theories
have been advanced to explain this sudden
transition from garrulous notoriety to
speechless obscurity. One is that the whole
Democratic party being very sick, he has
more practice than he could well attend to.
A more satisfactory explanation has been
made by a wit of Augusta to this effect:
"Garcelon had been told times enough that
lie was blank fool, but he never would
believe it till he got a certificate from the
Supreme Court" That covers the case.
The Portland daily press., 1880-02-19

In the interest which is felt in the action
OF the cancuses tonight respecting city Of
fees, our friends should not lose sight of the
fact that another important duty rests upon
them. The choice of delegates to the dis
trict convention should be made with care
and no mistake or accident should be al
lowed to occur. There seems to be gener-
al feeling among Republicans in favor Of
Hon. w. W. Thomas, Jr., as delegate from
this part of the district to the Chicago Con-
vention. No better selection could be made
and we may be sure that Mr.. Thomas will
ably and handsomely represent the district
on that important occasion.
