Leading Candidates.

Early in June the New York Times
addressed 400 letters to various points
asking whom the people desire for candi
dates in the coming presidential cam
paign. Thirty or forty candidates are
named on each side Among the Repub-
licans Blaine is strongly preferred, Arthur,
Edmunds, Grant and Sherman following
in order. Tilden leads the list of Demo
cratic names, and he Is followed by Nc
Donald. Bayard, Hancock, and Butler
There is a strong expression of belief that
Blame is the ablcst statesman in our
country and that he ought to have the
nomination of which Conkling's fight for
Grant deprived him. Still, he will not
have the 3O6 votes of the old slave states,
they being for Arthur. Tilden is more
markedly preferred by the Democrats
than Blaine is by the Republicans, and
he can undoubtedly have the nomination
if he chooses.
Our own state is reported from four
cities, Winona, St. Paul, st. Cloud and
Austin. The first thinks that Lincoln is
an expedient candidate and that Blaine is
dead. The other three favor the plumed
knight. Tilden seems to be preferred in
all these cities. We quote the Austin let
ter to the Times:
AUSTIN. July 5.-1he Republicans of
this vicinity by 4 large majority, favor
some candidate for the Presidency who
will represent the antiStalwart sentiment.
The Grant Conkling followers are not
numerous here, and candidate whom the
Stalwarts would champion would not be
favored. Among the half-breeds, think
Mr. Blaine is the most frequently spoken
Of. President Arthur has enthusiastic
friends, while Secretary Lincoln and Mr..
Edmunds have their admirers. Had Mr..
Window been reelected United States
Senator he would undoubtedly have
had the support of his State for the
Presi dency. AS it is, he could not Sc
cure it.
The Democrats, generally, 1 think.
would gladly see the old ticket of Tilden
and Hendricks in the field. They feel
that this ticket would receive more en-
thusiastic support than any other that
could be nominated on account of the
wrong done them in 1876. Gen. Hancock,
David Davis, and Hoadly have
their supporters.

The Strike.

Business has been greatly interrupted
difficult for week past on account of the
strike Of the telegraph operators. OF the
merits of the controversy the general
public can know but little. The opera
tors tell their story and that is in some
sense an appeal to the public sympathy,
while the great monopoly, as usual, keeps
silent.
The sympathy Of the public is, and
ought to be, with the strikers in this in
stance at least. The Western Union is
not only great corporation but a greedy
and grasping monopoly which take divi-
dends upon the original cost of their lines
and then upon three hundred per cent. of
watered stock besides. There ought to be
some way to prevent this modern scheme
of watering the stock of corporations.
The stock of the Western Union is some
$4,000, 900, while the cost of their lines
was some $40, 600, 900. The earnings of
the corporation upon capital represent
ing the original cost Of constructing the
lines would pay dividends that would sat
isfy any honest man, and the stock would
be valuable investment for persons who
desired permanent investment for their
money. But by the vote of the directors
the stock is increased to three or four
times the amount which their lines cost
and the dear public and the operators
must pay the piper. Look at the small
dividends" say these bloated stock water
ers, eve must reduce wages" while upon
the real amount of money invested the
dividends would be large. Then this cor
poration not only guilty Of this crime of
creating fictitious stocks but fights
every rival line until it either freezes II
out or buys up its stock until it controls
the line Telegraphing ought to be in the
hands of the government, the same as car
rying the mails. The gravest problem
before the American public is the relation
. of corporations to the people and the re.
sponsibility of the directors to the ordi-
nary laws of public honesty. The man
or men who can solve this problem has
yet appeared, but long suffering people
will not always endure this species of gi-
gantic robbery under the form of corpo-
rations which have no souls at all,
but are manipulated by one or two
men who have very avaricious souls
as the people plainly see. The West
ern Union Telegraph Co. is very little
more or less than Jay Gould, man whom
the people of this country are learning;
cordially to hate. The slight increase Of
wages asked by operators could be grant;
ed and the dividends on the actual money
cost of the Western Union could be
doubled simply by subtracting the amo unit
of watered stock which represents nothing
but.a sort of thumb-screw to torture high
tariffs out of the public, and screw down
operators to low wages. 1t is time for
the people to cry out and the telegraph
company is the worst of all the list of
corporate abuses which they ought to at
tack. $50. 3 49,.
