Correspondence of the NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
Des MOines. The Legislature being in
session, the preference for Presiden-
tlal candidate. at Chicago, next June is
not hard to veAtilate. 1t is otherwise,
as an expression in this wise, is readily
given by the members of the legislature
and by those who visit the capital either
for business, pleasure, or with the tradi-
tiOnal axe to grind. Iowa is prOn0unc-
eddy Republican, and, it is claimed is
not in peril, from any cause, to score
decided majority. The free-trade ten
denotes among the farmers are not such
as to warrant breaking away from
party, that in itself is so strong, and
never hesitates to stand by an issue.
wherein the people are concerned.
Whatever may be said, there is little Of
the machine, in the national politics of
this state. There is little apprehension
that free trade will be put in issue by
the Democracy. 1t is presumed here, in
high quarters that the struggle for the
coming Presidency will be fought in the
Chicago convention, as The consistency
of the Republican party shows nowhere
sign of weakness or desire for change.
BLAINE.
Four years ago showed a chivalrOus
and unbrOken following from Iowa. His
ability, courage and manifest destiny
tendencies, are so much in keeping with
the aspiring west, that time has only
deepened i'm the public mind the esti-
mate of the great State-O- Mainer, so
score for Blaine, Iowa, and that he is
their first choice. His brief secretary
ship. under the unfortunate Garfield
was not without promise of brilliant
policy, and the state department was in
the hands of man that seized the dig
nifty of his country and in meddling
with an American common wealth, Eu-
rope and especially Great Britain was
to be reminded that her COOL graces
were neither desired nor desirable, and
that her frOwns were neither annoying
or wOundlng, That Peru would not
have been reduced TO dependence and
beggary, by an unprovoked and insolent
war made upon her by Chilli, had not
Guiteau,s bullet gone in its deadly mes
sage. Blaine believed the war to be in
the interest of the British capitol, and
his correspondence, with our minister
in Lima, is proof how deeply he felt for
people he saw doomed, if not aided in
the unequal struggle. The policy was
step in advance of anything before en-
tered upon. 1t was determination to
head off any interference, by any Euro
pean power in meddling in any way
with Ian American state, in any of the
grand divisions Of America. To Blaine.
the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean
sea in the not distant future, with an
expansion are so many inland lakes of
the republic. Sooner or later Spanish
civilization will be brought to realize
with ourselves,a community of interest,
in which the old world can have no
rightful share. except such as arises
from the comfy of nations. Besides
Blaine has a personal vigor, and intel
lectual qualities more in harmony with
the greatness of the nation, and its as
piratioms than any public man of this
generation.
EDMUNDS.
