Republicans Ren ouncing Blaine.

The New York Union League under
took to pass resolutions in support Of
Blaine and Logan, and as the organiza-
tion has been wholly Republican the
presumption was that they would be
unanimously voted for. Nevertheless,
this proved to be mistake, as many OF
the members voted no, and cheers for
Cleveland and Hendricks were called
for and given In the meeting. The de-
vel0pment Is not surprising to those who
are familiar with the undercurrent OF
sentiment among the intelligent busines:
men Of New York. Those who have op.
portunity to feel the pulse of this class
Of New York voters, will find a very
strong feeling Of opposition to Blaine
The sentiment Is that he Is not fit to b:
elected. 1t Is felt by men who are moi
politicians. but business men of respect
ability.
They have no confidence at all In
Blaine's integrity. They are represented
In their feeling by the prominent Re
publican journals Of the city, who have
renowned Blaine and support Cleveland
The Times, tha Post aud Harper,
Weekly. Republican journals of most
determined tendency, have revolted
against the infliction of Blaine upon
the party; and they speak FOL
class Of very influential
people. The same element that elected
Cleveland to be governor Of New York
supports him now against Blaine, who
is infinitely more Objectionable to Il
than Judge Folger was. In truth, tn,

and Was only carried down by the OBJ
noxious element around him and the be

ity for the statement, when he replied
that he could give none, but he was Ger
tain Logan did. Then the Republican

FEATURES OF THE STATE PRESS.

The Philadelphia Ners pleads for an
other week of ths Electrical Exhibition.
"Next to the tariff, press the Blair bill. "
says the Philadelphia Chronicle Herald.
But the constitution will not permit it.
The new head and press Of the Pitts
burg Post throw out in conspicuous relief
the sterling qualities Of this able Demo
cratic journal.
The Philadelphia Ledger is opposed to
political torohlight parades because they
cost too much money and are not only
distractions to the necessary use of the
highways, but are nuisances in several
ways.
Charges have been made by the Chroni-
els- Telegraph and the Times, two leading
Pittsburg Republican papers, that the
Blaine men, who were independents and
opposed to the old party leaders, are now
trying to sacrifice the county and con-
eressioual tickets for the benefit Of Mr..
