MIDDLE CLASS FOREIGN POLICY.

The foreigners are in no doubt rs to the real
authors OF the policy of modern England They
know that ours is no longer policy of Pitts and
aristocracies, dsposing of every movement OF the
hoodwinked nation to whom they dictate it they
know that policy is now dictated by the strong
middle part of England,-England happy, rs Mr..
Lowe quoting Aristotle says. i'll having her middle
parts strong and her extremes weak and that,
though we are administered by one OF our weak
extremes the aristocracv, these managers admin
lister MS as q weak extreme naturally must, with q
nervous attention to the wishes of the strong middle
part whose agents they are. 1t was not the
aristocracy which made the CriIncan war; il was
tle strong middle part-the constituencies. 1t
the strong middle part which showercd abuse aud
threats on Germany for mishandling Denmark and
when Germany grui1iy answered. Come and stop us,
SLAPPED its pockets, and vowed that 1t had never
had the slightest notion OF pushing matters so far
as this Il was the strong middle part which, by
the voice Of its tavOrite newspapers, kept thIeai-
ching Germany after she had snapped her fingers
at MS with future chasfisenent from France, il st
as a smarting schOol-boy threatens his bully with
drubbing TO come from some big boy IN the back
ground IL was the strong middle part, speaking
through the same newspapers, which was full of
Fodcras during their late struggle; and ~ soon as
they had succeeded, dscovcrei that II had always
wished them well, and that nothing was so much
10 lie desired as that the United States and we
should he the fastest friends possible. Some people
will say that the arlstOcracy % equal offender
in this respect Very likely but the behavior Of
the strong middle part makes more impression than
the beiiay Tor of "a weak extreme and the more
because from the middle class their fellows in num-
while from tue aristOcracy they expected none.

The Contest Between Grant and
Blaine.
PENNSYLVANIA LIKELY TO GO OVER
TO THE LATTER.
A Desperate Move to Save Grant from
Defeat,

CHICAGO, June 6.-There has been no COM
blnation today, as far as can be learned. upon
eny candidate. The strengte of the different
names will probably not be affected in any APP
preciable degree by the days intermission
Both of the principal candidates claim to have
made slight gains. 1t is expected that ballot
ing for President will begin Immediately on
he reassembling of the convention.
In political circles an impression seems to
gain supporters that the conflict will narrow
down to a trial of strength between Grant and
Blaine, as the abolition of the unit rule places
it. out of the power of the leaders to swing
their delegations in favor of some candidate
whom they might agree upon. Blaine's alleged
popular strength in Pennsylvania has given
rise to much discussion of the likelihood of
Cameron's seeing the expediency of casting
his influence in Blaine's favor and so making
nearly solid Pennsylvania delegation for him.
Latest political reports tonight are that results
OF the various caucuses point to long and weary
ballotlng tomorrow; that the forces of the sew
eral candidates have resolved to stick by their
fist choice. One report has it that the Grant
managers promised Sherman's supporters that
if they will give Grant the nomination Conk-
ling will Immediately rise in his place and
read letter of declination from Grant and on
the next ballot Sherman would be nominated
1t is not reported that the Sherman men have
accepted the overture. 1t was stated in the
forenoon that the Massachusetts delegation
was breaking, but tonight % of them held a
caucus and resolved never to vote for either
Grant or Baine.H

Intense Interest-How Three Of the Can
didates are Affected.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-The excitement here
all day over news from the Chicago convention
has grown with every hour. This evening the
offices OF all the telegraph companies are sur
rouned by crowds OF men, young and old ,tdis-
tlnguished and obscure. The three candidates
IN the city, Blaine, Sherman and Window,
have not partaken lat least outwardly) of this
agitation. Mr.. Blaine spent the day at his
residence on Fifteenth street. closed in his
study with the telegraph wire within sight,
and its message in hearing. He went up to
the Senate about o'clock and sat down, with
out leaving his hat orscane in the cloak room
He talked quietly to Mr.. Ingalls, for a few
minutes, and then went over to the Democrat
lc side and conversed long and earnestly with
Mr.. Lamar, Mr.. Ransom and Others When
the Senate adjourned he returned to his home
Here he spent the evening in constant COM
munication with Messrs. f We, Hale and Chan
dler.
Mr. Sherman pursued the noiseless tenor of
his way today. He went to his office in the
Treasury department, attended quietly to his
business all day, went home at his usual hour
to dinner and returned afterWard to his office.
Here he spent the evening in telegraphic COM
munication with his friends in the convention,
and received the news with serene composure
He went to bed lasl night at his usual hour,
and was fast asleep at o'clock, when Mr..
oidiho w do iiSteulHS luLeuUiy 10 Tue reports OF
the wonderful scene of confusion in the con-
vention AT that hour Mr. Window was at
his desk in the Senate. All day, at times, he
was the only Republican in the Senate. He
sat composed and quiet throughout the ses-
sion, receiving constant intelligence from Chi
cago, but entirely unaffected by it. All three
await in cheerful expectation the bolt of
Presidential lightning.
President Hayes listens with almost equal
interest to the messages received at the White
House over his special wire.

ling Letter which, However, is
Promptly Denied.
WASHINGTON, June 5.--The Baltimore Sun
has the following dispatch from Chicago
81 have it on good authority that three days
ago Gen. Grant addressed letter to Senator
Conklng with the request that it be shown to
Don Cameron and Gen. Logan. In the letter
Gen. Grant asks Senator Conkling to with
draw his name if necessary at any time to pro-
duce harniony; and to ask his friends in the
convention to SUPPORT any candidate who could
unite and harmonic all the elements of the
party. On consultation the Grant leaders de-
termined to keep the letter secret until they
have made all the points they can.
l am also informed that letter is here from
Secretary Sherman, in which he intimates that
he remains a candidate, not so much in the
hope of succeeding himself as in preventing
the nomination of Grant"
CHICAGO, juno 5.-Mr. Conkling authorizes
denial of the report in circulation that he
has a letter from Gen. Grant asking him to
consult with Logan, and if they deem it proper
to withdraw his name as candidate for the
