WASHINGTON, July 13.-The Washington
public are impatiently awaiting the forth
coming letters of acceptance from Blaine
and Logan, which have been under the
scrutiny and dissection of Republican doc
tors for some days past. It is understood
that these documents have been materially
altered and amended since they were
evolved from the brain of the twin Joves
aud withheld in order to take issue with the
Democratic platform by way of rejoinder.
Gen. Logan arranged, when visit
ing Blaine at Augusta, to have
another and final consultation
before publishing their acceptance, but his
movements have been kept secret, few know
ing when and where the head and tail of
the ticket will meet. Logan's immediate
friends make no concealment Of the the fact
that he is pleased with Cleveland's nomina-
ton, conceiving that Cleveland is not so
strong in New York, New Jersey and Con-
necticut as either Bayard, Randall or Thur
man would have been. 1t is stated that the
nomination most feared by Logan was Thur
man, for whom he entertains high regard.
He believed Thurman to be stronger with the
anti-monopolist and labor vote than any
other Democratic candidate while equally
strong in other essentials. Outside of Ohio
cabals and jealousies, Blaine was also i'm
pressed with Thurman's strength, especially
on the Pacific coast, and he now reckons
upon carrying CALIFORNIA, Oregon and Ne
yada beyond preadventure.
WANT BLAINE AT WATERING PLACE.
| 1t supervenes that both the national and
| congressional represen tative committees are
not satisfied to have Blaine domicled so far
east and much desire he shall be brought
nearer a common center. 1t is too remote
to make pilgrimage to Maine, while money
is scare, travelling expensive and time valu-
able. They say it would be more advan-
tageous if he would domicile at Long Branch,
Atlantic City or even Washington. Clevc-
land is within easy reach at Albany, while
Hendricks is located in Indianapolis, mid
way cross the continent. With Blaine near
at hand and Logan at CAisego. the conven-
lent stations of Cleveland and Hendricks
would be fairly offset. One OF the most i'm
portant subjects of the Republican campaign
is now under advisement.
WANT BLAINE TO TAKE THE STUMP.
Great pressure is brought to bear to have
Blaine take the stump and emulate Stephen
A. Douglas in his famous presidential cam
paign of 1860, when the tickets of Lincoln
and Hamlin, Bell and Everett, Douglas and
johnson, and Breckenridge and Lane were
in the field. Blaine is understood to be
somewhat averse to making a personal
canvass, bnt his managers think
if he made speeches at Boston,
Albany, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Richmond, Releigh, Nashville, St.
Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Wheeling,
Columbus, indianapolis, Chicago, Madison,
st. Paul, Des Moines, Kansas City, Topeka,
Denver, San Francisco, and such other inter-
mediate cities as might be deemed advan-
tageous he wonld arouse great enthusiasm,
and bring into play that magetism which his
admirers boast he possesses to greater ex-
tent than any other public man. They
argue that immense crowds would gather
from remote distances, largely attracted, it
true, by curiosity, but the effect would be
beneficial.
LOGAN TO TALK.
Gen. Logan will undoubtedly enter the
canvass actively, and make speeches where
the national committee may deem best
Logan could not keep quit if he wanted TO.
Therefore his voice will resound from the hill
tops aud valleys of the land, and he will un-
doubtedly be marshalled everywhere by mem
bers of the Grand Army of the Republic, who
will take him specially In charge.
REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEES.
The Republican national and congressional
committees are arranging to open the cam
paigu at an early day, meantime. however,
casting about to see where necessary funds
are to be raised to foot the bills. The DEM
ocratic national and congressional commit
tees viii get to work as soon as the accept
ances Of the nominees are made public
Local committees are already considering
schemes to distribute the most effective
Democratic speakers especially in Indiana,
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
TO FIGHT FOR MASSACHUSETTS.
II certain conditions are reached it is the
intention to make square fight in Massa-
chusetts, as the Independent clement
in that state is numerous and infuen-
tial and it is believed tie Democratic party
can gain congressman there even If Cleye-
land fails to secure the electoral vote. It is
proposed to secure if possible as large a
Democratic majority in the Forty ninth con-
gress as in the Forty-eighth, and with
senatorial elections to occur in Colorado,
Nevada, Connecticut, New Hampshire, IiIi-
nois, New York, Pennsylvania and Wiscon-
sin, now represented BY Republicans, there
is a good chance to make the next senate
Democratic and enjoy working naiorities in
both branches. Then, with Democratic
president, reorganization of the supreme
court can be effected and many matters now
omplained of set right.
FOR CLEVELAND.
The Sunday Capitd declares for Cleveland
to-day and predicts his election.
ARTHUR's FLIRTATIoSs.
There is some pleasant gossip about Presi-
dent Arthur mingiing with the crowd last
evening at the White house grounds during
the performance Of the Marine band. 1t ap-
pears he made himself very Democratic and
INDUCED in several harmless fiirtations with
the young girls. He viii soon embark in
the war steamer Dispatch for a summer
cruise on the Atlantic coast, and have good
time during the remainder of his term.
