The Salina Journal says the Blaine
sentiment in Kansas Is worked up.
The Journal knows better than this.
Blaine Ii the acknowledged leader Of
the Republican party. He is consid-
cred the foremost statesman;Ofthe cQun-
try. The popular sentiment in 1879
was largely for his nomination. He
was cheated out of the nomination by
the tricks of politicians. We ask the
journal what could be more natural
now than for Blaine to have strong
popular following Mel herson Free
man.
We are notaware that We have made
any such statement. We have said
that there was o strong organized
effort being made by the Blaine poll
ticians to make 1t appear to the world
that Kansas Is decidedly for Blaine.
We have also stated that nothing has
occurred which shows that such is the
case We believe that even in Kansas
Grant has just as strong following
as Blaine. They are both noble, great
men, and both are endeared to the Re
publican party. But We believe that
Grant will make the strongest candi-
date. He can carry more States both
North and South than blaine, because
he has been tried in the Presidential
chair and not found wanting.

AMONG the "rules and regulations
declared by the Superintendent Of the
census, are the following:
First. In no case will part of one
county be joined in an enumeration
district with another county or any
part thereof,
Second. In general, every town,
township, militia district, or other per
manent civil division Of the county
should be constituted an enumeration
district il the estimated population
thereof exceeds 700 or 800 Inhabitants.
Third. The enumeration districts
must be made small enough to secure
the completion of the canvass within
the limits set by the census law-dur-
ing the month Of June.
Fourth. In cities having over 10, 900
inhabitants by the census of 1870, the
law requires that the enumeration shall
be completed within two weeks. An
active, intelligent enumerator can
easily take from 200 to 800 names per
day in q city, at least after the first day
or two. The enumeration districts
may, therefore, be safely made to EN-
brace an estimated population of from
1900 to $500. They should seldom be
allowed to exceed the higher number.

ssnstor Logan Explains Why He Is For
Grant First Last. end sH he Time.
From the Chicago Inter-Oceap
A prominent politician of Chicago
received yesterday the following letter
from Senator Logan. 1t touches on
several questions in regard to which
the senator's friends have been much
interested:
WASHINGTON, Feb. IL. 1850.
My DEAR SIR: / am not SURPRISED
ut what is said in regard to the a,tempt.
by combinations and otherwise, that
Is being made to defeat the nOirina.
ton Of Gen. Grant. OF course every
conceivable objection is being hurled
against him by portion of the press
that have heretofore opposed him, and
by many persons who want some one
not quite so stalwart a Republican as
he Is f; by some who are looking for
one whom they believe will he more
easily controlled in their interest Do
litically Others for the reason that il
breaks the several states made to or
der. Whatever reasons, however, that
will be the most likely to be found no
tent in the various localities will be
urged His opponents do not seem to
take into consideration the full situa.
ton, and the dangers that have and
still threaten our country, which, in
the light of recent events, ought to be
apparent to all.
f. One of the main objections urged by
many to his candidacy Is, that his cleo
ton would be an innovation on the
settled policy of this country against q
third term president. There il not
what may be called q settled or fixed
policy ON this subject. The constitu-
ton only prescribes the length of a
presidential term, but not the number
Of terms to which any man may be
elected. The argument has been against
consecutive terms. There IL no settled
policy Of the people on this question !;
Il Is only fact that no one has been
elected to the presidency more than
twice, or for two terms, and that has
been generally because Of the fact that
the people did not choose to re-elect
the person, and not because Of any har-
her in the way other than their choice
Of persons. and much has been con-
tributcd tn this notion of combinations

walt tor their chance, rs il h termed.

q stalwart Republican, and popular
gentleman. The Hiawatha Dispatch
thinks that State Senator +. n. Nor

and truest men in the State, possesses
all the qualifications of an able. digni-
fled and useful Executive officer. Sew
