pondent to-day of Michigan Representative who
has recently returned from visit to his home.
michigan appears to be solid for Blaine" was
the reply BIaines popularity my district dates
from the jeff Davis debate in January, 1876. Our
State delegation voted for him in the first few bal
lois at Cincinnati in 1875 and then went over to
HAYES. He appears to be much stronger with onr
people now than he was then. 1t is quite natural
that this should be the case. Michigan Republicans
are 'stalwart' and they want q stalwart candi-
date.
-Four years ago they seemed to settle down IN
the conviction that General Grant ought not TO be-
or could not be, elected again. and they have not
changed their minds about that since. They donot
talk much about it. and not many OF them say tnat
if General Grant is nominated this year they will
not vote for him. but ths feeling against his nomi-
nation is very strong. cannot, of course say what
the effect Of his nomination would be, but in my
own district which is a rather sharply contested
one, believe that we would have uphill work if
General Grant were placed at the head of our ticket
While was at home talked with one OF our best
Republicans who is capital stumper. lie told
me that if Grant were nominated, he didn't know
but he should have to take the stump against him."

Every little indeed" was the reply. 80 The feel
Ing among Michigan Republicans now appears 10 lie
that. if they have to falTback on ANYBODY, Wash
burne will be their choice. Still, Secretary Sher-
man has good many friends Our Republicans
ere hard money men. and they give the Secretary
all the credit that is due him on account of the re-
sumption of specie payments. But Secretary Sher.
man's position as member OF the present AdmlniS-
traton does not help him any. Then there y
