- The SaA tells the Democrats that they

fear and trembling. because the opposition
TO Mr.. Blaine comes not from the practical
politicians in the rank and file Of the Repub-
lican party but mainly from people Who do
not always take the trouble 10 vote.

The chicago AdraHee, the influential
Western organ Of the Congregationalists,
saws: Mr.. Blaine is plainly the choice Of
the people. His name was thrust forward
not only by the politicians but BY the rank
and file Of the people springing up and
voicing their sentiments through their dele
cations and newspapers throughout the
great States of the Mississippi Valley a.
well as the Pacific slope. No one who has
been in Chicago for the last ten DAYS can
doubt this for moment"

following telegram was sent yesterday:
HkAD(I ARTFRs y AIIDNAL DEMOCRAT
&c COMMITTEE, June IA, 1854.
Hon. :. J. THDEN: In concluding your
letter printed the other day, you request the
Democracy 10 regard your public career as
''forever closed la behalf of an anxious
party we beg leave TO inquire if the remark
which you have applied TO your public career
holds good also in regard TO your private bar'l.

BARNCM,
For the Committee.
4 Up 10 the hour Of going to press Mr..
Tilden's reply had not been given out for
publication.
Does it strike any one with surprise
that SO many Democratic papers have come
out and declared that they will not support
Blaine?
The list of the Committee of One
Hundred" appointed BY the so-called hide
pendent Republicans Of Massachusetts, looks
as if 1t had been published before. Upon
inspection. il appears to be very much the
same list that was published with enlhusi-
asm by the free-trade organizers in 1871.
| Substantially the same list turned up IN
connection with a Fifth Avenue conference
| in 1876, to demand the nomination Of Mr..
Bristow. II the Democratic party would
take the whole list on board in 1884, it
would not gain forty votes, but It would
help Blaine and Logan wonderfully Tib-
