and Weak Elsewhere.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June q --Ex-
Senator Mcdonald Of Indiana is here
for day or two. He says that the |
Democrats, with the proper candidates
on the proper platform, can beat
Blaine and Logan. II know Jim |
Blaine personally" said the ex-sen-
ator. 'He is very clever, whole
souled man; he is n brainy man and |
full of vim. He is an aggressive man,
and always has a policy. Politically
he represents the very worst element
In our American politics. He is not,
In my opinion, rs strong among the
rank and file of the sober, thinking
people as his friends think he is. He
will make the campaign very lively
one. One can see the policy marked
out In the start. He will endeavor to
create the impression among the Irish
voters that If elected president he will
get up u war with England. In fact,
he will leave no stone unturned TO win
the fight"
"Can he carry Indiana
mo, sir; he cannot. Arthur and
Gresham would have given us trout
BILE I'm Indiana. Mr.. Blaine II not
strong there. | was In Indianapolis
after the news Of his nomination came.
1t excited no particular enthusiasm,
and saw no signs of enthusiasm for
the nomination anywhere else ms
came East
Senator Voorhees, said II was the
weakest nomination the Republicans
could have made. Continuing, the
senator said: arthur and Gresham
would have given trouble in New York
and Indiana. Blaine and Logan will
not. In my day have never known
nomination to fall so fiat among
the members of its own party.
Blaine is an aggressive man,
and he will make things
lively for us. There is very large
element of the Republican party
which will not take TO the ticket, and,
by-the-by, l have not seen any tele.
grams from ST. Jerome Mr.. Edmunds)
yet congratulating him on his success,
nor from Conkling, nor from Grant.
All we have TO do is to put up a good
ticket and we will win the fight sure"
Sunset Cox said: "Blaine is the rep.
resentative man of his party. The Re
publican party represents ail that IL
vile and vicious IN our body polite
and i know of no man who more fully
than Blaine represents their ideas o.
c.vil.service reform. He is the embod-
, iment of sensational politics"
'Can he carry New York :"
"Oh, no; nobody thinks he can.
His friends say he can be elected
without New York. Probably he
can. don't think he can. AS New
York goes, so goes New Jersey and
: Connecticut. That will elect our man
because the solid South is conceded t.
. US"
Congressman Follett of Cincinnati
said al think 1t very doubtful about
Blaine carrying Ohio 10y that sweep
,, ing majority the Republicans arr
! counting on. Our towns and cities ar'
, filled up with Germans, and II there l.
one thing above another they hate 1t /
the doctrine of prohibition. Blaine II
now and has been for years so CLOSELY
!, identified with that doctrine that
think he will fall far short OF the ful
strength of his party In Ohio"
Congressman j. j. Adams OF New
York returned ffom New YORK city
this morning. Asked what the feeiinl
|, In New York was about the ticket, h'
replied: II never saw nor heard ~
| nutn DISQUALIFICATION -
1, busin es men and the middle CLASSES
are down on it. 1t will not j'
x to think Blaine beat yet
though, nor that he Is weak. Ia
=. is dexterous fellow, full OF resource
: aud expedients, and he will be yer.
= hard to beat. Tilden can beat him
! Slocum and any other good man Cal
y beat him. In fact. any Democrat cal
y beat him in New York, but that Is no
J, enough; II Ohio gives majority Q
q. 900 or 10000 in Octobe
:, for the Republicans you VII
see the hottest campaign you ever dix
In YOUR life. | hope our party VIII Pu
$ good ticket in the field-such ticke
/. as Slocum or Cleveland, with Morrison
= or any other good man, and success
!, assured. Morrison is probably the bes
!, man for the second place, because IA
, was as good Union soldier as Logan
o But i, Is going to be very holly cor
y tested campaign"
