THE PROPOSED NEW ROAD.
1t Is Being Examined To-day, and May
be Made Next Week.

Alexander Sifers, the w-mill man,
Messrs. Sampson and Smith, of Sol
dier, and Captain Hammer aud Jared
l.. Peck, of Crichton, on Camas
Prairie, were in town yesterday and
held consultation with E. A. White
about the proposed new road. Mr..
White had just been over the road in
company with Commissioner Morrill,,
and gone over once himself. so that he
was prepared to speak understand
ingly.
The Camp Creek road, which it is
now proposed to open, would cost
about $4,000, and most of it would
be in a deep gorge where snow piles
up many feet and does not melt till
late in summer. This road would
therefore be well nigh impracticable
for six months in the year.
Mr.. White has found another road,
however, which can start in east Of
the Camas mine and follow on the
table land or plateau, and will come
out at Horseshoe Bend of Camp
Creek. This road can be made for
$500 CT $500; it will face south and
east, be always dry and free from any
great depth of snow, have no steep
grades, so that light rig can trot
over it, and be two to three miles
shorter than either of the roads now
used, while it will be fully as short as
the Camp creek route.
Mr.. Sifers and the other Camas set
tiers have gone to look this new route
over to-day, and if they are satisfied
with it, the road will be adopted and
opened at once.

GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS, being asked

he viewed the nomination of Mr.. Blaine.
replied that the action Of the convention
did not in anywise change his known
opinion as to the wisdom of placing Mr..
Blaine in nomination.
HENRY CABOT LODGE, of the Massaohu-

as rather old faced youth, with short

hair, Of a curly nature. He speaks deli.
berately and earnestly, and gives one the
impression of being always in deep

MRs. BLAINE looks most imposing
when she is not excited. She is o large
woman, who sits bolt upright in her
corner Of the carriage, with her usual
soornful smile on her face. Her face is
strong one. Her features are large and
arc so disposed as to convey n sense of
power. They always wear the same
proud, oonteptuous expression. Mrs.
Blaine has rs many enemies in Washing.

The Coming campaign.

The presidential campaign has not yet
opened. 1t will require a full sssas2nth
for Mr.. BlaiBe's perspiring friends to get
through with their demonstrations of
Joy at his nomination. They will burn
a great deal Of powder, play much vile
band music, shout themselves hoarse,
wave their flags and drink hot and cold
libations to their favorite. But all this
will have no effect on the November
elections.
A considerable number Of Republican
newspapers, which have protested
against such nomination, will renew
their expressions as to the unwisdom of
1t. Some will mildly and gradually let
themselves down, and before the dog
days be as rabid as the most virulent
Blaine organ others coy,y ,lding out
for time longer, will finally yield
because they will allege, anything is
preferable to Democratic success.
Others still, like the New York Times
and Erening Post, will no doubt, to the
end maintain consistent opposition to
Blaine and Logan, holding that the
combination is one which the Republi.
can party must get rid of by allowing
1t to be beaten. This alone Of the fore.
going influences will affect the result in
November.
In four weeks the attention of the
country will be fixed upon the Demo.
cratic convention, at which, perhaps, the
subject of the platform will command a
far greater share Of attention than it did
in the convention just adjourned. But
Mr.. Blaine Is a personality Of such force
that there will be a demand ut Chicago
in July for candidate whose name and
services and character, If not so notori.
GUS as those of the Republican nominee,
will at least have so far won for him the
confidence of the American people
that he himself will be the best
pledge that he stands for other methods
than those which made Blaine so
offensive to the better sense of the
American people. Who is the nominee
at Chicago in July will determine the
November elections.
Mr.. Blaine will be stronger in Maine,
Ohio and West Virginia, the early vot-
Ing states, than Arthur would have
besn he is weaker In New York than
any other candidate would have been.
The presidential election this year comes
on In November and it will be decided
by New York.
No tattooed man shall sit in the chair
OF washington, Jefferson, Jackson and
Lincoln. There was one occupied it four
years, who had the word 'FRAUp"
scared on his forehead, but if anybody
thinks even his own party had any pride
In him, let him search among the records
Of the last two Republican conventions
for any trace OF enthusiasm for Ruther-
fraud b. Hayes.

SATURDAY nvnnINo. JUNE =. 1873.
The Nomination.

The issue OF the Chicago convention
b not surprising. Although Mr.. Blaine
was not from the beginning the choice
Of . majority Of the convention, 1t was
very early apparent that the opposition
TO him was not we'll organized and that
it lacked the cohesiveness Of the famous
Grant phalanx Of 1880. To make 1t
effective required the coalescence of the
Arthur and Edmunds forces, Of Barney
Biglin, Jake Hess aud Johnny O'Brien
with Carl Schurz, Geo. william Curtis
and Geo. f. Hoar. Blackleg and Pur-
itan were united, John Randolph said.to
make John Quincy Adams president, ,anG
on previous occasions in Republican con.
yentions antagonizing elements we're for
time held together long enough to beat
Blaine, themselves controlling the nomi
nation in 1870 and he directing 1t In 1850.
This year he got along far enough
to make himself the nominee by an
actually scant majority, because the vet
eran politicians who had usually been
against him were lacking in the leader
ship Of the opposition. Mr.. Conkling,
whose matchless voice and graceful ges
ture swayed the convention Of 1880, has
been soured at Arthur and preferred
even Blaine's nomination /; so did Grant.
Curtis and his element, while willing to
use the Arthur organization to defeat
Blaine had nothing else in common with
IL and the ofiiceholders were slow to de-
sert their chieftain for one OF the ollie
tante reformers with whom they found
themselves 50 unexpectedly In company,
or the men whose nomination was pos
sible against Blaine, Gen. Sherman took
himself out of the fight ; Lincoln was
headed of by Logan's control of the Hi
nois delegation and his plot with Blaine
for their Joint benefit, which was recog
nizable from the outset while Harrison
who is a man Of small calibre, played
the dog In the manger, and would not
let Gresham have what he could not get
for himself.
1t has been very plain all along that
Gresham was the man on whom the
Edmunds and Arthur forces could most
readily unite and being neutral
candidate, at the same time member of
the administration, his nomination was
expedient and practicable. Harrison's
hoggishness alone prevented it. Logan's
active sympathy with the Blaine
scheme, and John Sherman's easy toler-
alton OF it, in this condition of things
made its success no difficult matter.
Moreover, the Blaine crew venture,
upon the sea Of the convention thi
cruise with better vessels than usual
better manned and otficered, aud we
provisioned. They not only had tn
enthusiasm and lungs, the banners an
bands, but the money and the adopts Il
its use. They went to Chicago, fO
once, to stay. Mr.. Blaine comes to hi
success by gradual approaches Nov
that he has got his nomination 1t rt
mains to be seen what it will be wort
to him.

"uHILDREN's DAY"
Flowers ana music Tomorrow.

In 1873, the Presbyterian general as
sembly recommended the third Sabbath
of every June as day OF special services
for Sabbath schools. In 1879, the day
was changed to tho second Sabbath Of
May. In 1880 this action was re affirmed.
In 1881 and 1882 no action was taken.
In 1883, the General Assembly designated
"the second Sabbath of June as Chill
dren's Day on which special services for
the children shall DO held, aud the vital
topics of tho christian nurture and tho
conversion of the young shall be pressed
upon the thought of the entire oongrega'
tion." The present date is 50 convenient
and appropriate that no further changes
will likely be made The day will be
celebrated in the Presbyterian church ofthis
city TO morrow with a service arranged by
Rsy. Walac, Radcliffe, of Re iding, which
promises to bs of unusual interest ard
beauty of decoration.

THE FIRST rIZZLE.
Three Persona In the ISisine Ratification
Procession in strAsDurg.

Three Persona In the Bisine Ratification
Procession in strasDurg.
The borough of Strasburg was thrown
into no little excitement upon the receipt
Of the telephone communication that
Blaine had received the nomination. at
Chicago. The Independents we're highly
elated while some of the Stalwarts wore
very blue faces. But as ratification was
in order, it was agreed tnat Stras.
burg's two bands should be employed
to lead the Republican citizens. But
luckily Gas the sequel proved) only
one could muster sufficient members TO
participate. All Strasburg was on tho
qua oipe to see tho parade, Aud your cor
respondent was naturally little timid,
fearing that he would have to face the Ir =
dependent and Stalwart hosts combined.
About o'clock the procession commenced
to move from Centre Square. As it came
down town, headed by the Good Templar
band, your correspondent saw arising
out OF the dust white plumb
made Of carpet rags aud mounted on
broom stick aud carried by the veteran
correspondent of the NeU Era. GA the
left marching by his side was the deputy
coroner, while on the right was tho grave
digger and overseer of Strasburg's only
cemetery. This comprised the procession
that wanted two bands. 1t certainly was
inauspicous that the white plume l"
should be accompanied by such an es-
cort.
1t looked more like burial than rati.
flcation. The Republican committeeman
was mad and said these Independents
hereafter must march at the tail Of the
column. A Stalwart had a banner made,
but the Independents gave him no notice
of this parade and he did not get to use it,.
Thus ended tho glorious Blaine ratification
tizzle in Strasburg.

1t is recognized every whore that Logan's
action secured the nomination for Blaine.
Iu Washington last evening in answer to a
request for an expression of his opinion
regarding the nomination Of Mr.. Blaine he
said that he could not express his senti.
ments better than by showing what he
had written. He thereupon produced
copies of two dispatches sent by him in the
afternoon. The first was one sent to
the Illinois delegation while the third
ballot was being taken and was as fol.
lows:
"U SITED STATES SENATE, WASHINGTON,
ID. G., June 6.-Hon. s. NJ. Cullom and
Illinois delegations convention hall,
Chicago, H.: The Republicans Of the
states that must be relied upon to elect
the president, having 80 strongly shown a
preference for Mr.. Blaine, | deem it my
duty not TO stand in the way OF the
peoples choice, and recommend by friends
to assist in his nomination.
"JoNH LOGAN"
The second dispatch was as follows:
"UNITED STATES SENATE, WATHINGTON,
ID. c., June G.-Hon. j. q. Blaine
Augusta, Me-: | most heartily congratulate
you on your nomination, You will be
elected. Your friend,
"JoHN LOGAN"
How the Administration TooG It.
President Arthur said that the news
from the convention had not taken him
by surprise, disappointments in politics
being Of such common occurrence and 80
readily discounted. He also pleasantly
referred to the general "law OF compensa
tion," aud said he highly priced the nu-
merous compensations that might be
mentioned in the present case. As to his
position in the coming canvass, the
president said it was sincerely outlined in
telegram which he had sent to Mr..
Blaine Immediately upon receipt Of the an
nouncement of the Conventions choice, as
follows "As the candidate OF tho Re.
publican party you will have my earnest
and cordial support"
Secretary Lincoln said that he could not
at once get over the failure of the presi
dent to receive the nomination which he
(Lincoln) thought Mr.. Arthur had
earned, II suoh thing could be said Of any
one but he added that the party had
expressed it's choice, and in naming
Blaine and Logan had made strong
ticket.
Senator Edmunds said, regarding the
nomination of Mr.. Blaine "It ought to
be the most popular thing going. All the
great central states, and pretty nearly a
majority of New York on the later votes,
whore the tug of war has got to come, are
very enthusiastic for him."
Senator Hoar says he has no idea what
the people of Massachusetts, will do about
Blaine, but supposes they will have to
support him, as they have done all other
Republicans,
TIE friends Of Arthur are openly for
Blaine, but the men who have been for
Edmuuds vow vengeance later on.
