Gen. Barlow Kicks Against blaine.

Special to the N. o. Times Democrat
NEW YORK, June 11.-Gen. Francis c. Bar
low, who was prominent in his efforts TO count
Hayes in, being one of the visiting statesmen to
Florida, has returned from Chicago pronounced
kicker. "Since my return" he said to-day, u
have seen enough to know that the best Repub-
licans will never vote for man with any such
political record as Baine's The opposition TO
him is not due to personal feelings or the disap-
pointment OF politicians, but to the fact that the
man placed at the head of the Republican party
is so palpably the wrong man, that not even
party feeling or political enthusiasm can make
intelligent Republicans swallow the Dose
The anti-Blaine movement will gain force
every day On Friday meeting will be held
here in my Office, of the members Of the INDIE
pendent Republican Committee, to consider what
steps shall be taken to defeat Blaine and to make
arrangements for the nomination or support of
a good ticket No action will probably be taken
toward nominating an Independent candidate
until after the Democratic Convention; then, If
a good ticket is nominated, that will probably
settle the question, as have not the slightest
doubt that the entire Independent vote, with q
great many hitherto Republican votes, are now
at the disposal Of the Democrats IL they nomi-
nate the right man. This meeting will be fol-
lowed by larger one on Tuesday next"

Is the title OF . neatly printed eight page paper.
published and edited at Quincy BY Captain O. 4.
L. Allison, Superintendent Of Common Schools
of Gadsden county Entertaining advanced and
enlightened views aud earnestly devoted to the
noble work in which he is engaged, 4 Is not sur
prising that Captain A. should call to his assist
ance the efficient aid of the printing press-nOt
to tighten the official duties which he 90 assidu
o,sly discharges but to Increase his usefulness in
the field contided to his supervision. Through
his paper (which secures to him the honor Of cs-
tablishing the first educational publication in his
State) he talks to the People. the Trustees, the
Teachers aud the Children instructively and per-
suasvcly, and it must prove the agency for muc h
good IIe speaks thus:
TO THE SCHOOL CHILDREN.
We cannot visit you in person very often, but
every month hereafter, to next January, you may
certainly look for this paper. 1t would be sent
weekly TO you but 1t is not good policy to do so, as
how 1t is liked by you and those who love you. 1t
is for you that the paper 10 published and In every
issue oft will be found something that will have q
tendency to cause all people to take warm, sub
stantia interest in your mental and moral culture,
something OF The art of teaching and the method Of
teaching that determine you to selfactlvity, some
thing that may have the effect Of broadening and
deepening your minds, besides q column or more
for your own special attention and interest In the
company of thousands of others, we will try to or
ganize and systematize every influence, and every
thought and every act that can be of aid in perfect
ing for good and usefulness in this life, the capaci
ties with which you are endowed by the great Crea-
tor.
The subscription price of The Monthly Eiuca-
Tor is but twenty five cents until January, 1885,
and we hope it will have large circulation in
every county in the State.

From the New York Bapt list Weekly.l
The Baphst Weekly has special sphere. IT.
aim is TO give TO all who read its pages religious
news and to discuss such topics as are adapted
to enlarge the range of Christian int ligenc,
and develop and direct the Christian activities OF
the churches. Moral questions as affecting po-
litical movements also come within the legiti-
mate province of religious journalism. On this
ground We have not hesitated to speak or party
issues which clearly involved principles CT mo-
rality, believing that there is an obvious relation
between politics aud picty. Holding firmly to
this view we recognize a moral obligation to
OK oress an emphatic dissent from many Of the
sentiments embodied in the platform of tn, Re
publican Convention at Chicago. and Ia the
means adopted to effect the nomination Of the
national candidates.
E'ut waving, for the present. the discussion Of
thse questions, the public record of the Hon
James G. Blaine Is such as does not commend
him to our judgment as a ht man to hold the
high est place Ia the gift Of our republic. C@ars
wife should be above suspicion, and man who
aspiies to the Presidential chair should be above
the charges which dishonor the official life OF
Mr.. Blaine.

We print to-day letter from Mr.. Til
den He positively declines to have his
name pat in nomipation--that is, he re-
fuses to be reelected President of the
United States, for his nomination would
certainly result in victory. 1t Is needless
to direct attention to what the reader can
perceivs-that the letter, in sentiment
and diction, is magnificent document j;
it is needless to remark that its excellence
aggrav2tes the fact which it sets forth,
that it's author cannot be our candidate !;
it is needless to remark, that it will oc-
cur to the minds of many that Mr.. Tilden
is wronging the people by depriving
them of what his every utterance shows
that they ought to have-himself as their
candidate; that he tantalizes them with
a good thing which he withholds from
them, apparently for personal reasons
which seem unworthily selfish.
These are but obvious views of this mat
ter which concerns many millions of people;
y,
and in a way which sustains all the re-
pute OF the Democratic sage, "the no.
blest Roman of them all, for wisdom
and patriotism. Shall we ask, can it be
supposed that Samuel J. Tilden would
hesitate for a moment to devote the rem
nant of noble life to his country if he
thought it necessary to the success of
the party which alone can defeat the rad
zeal power that threatens the destruction
of republican institutions The question
is absurd, and the answer need not be
written. The wise old man knows he is
not needed, no matter how much he may
lie wanted. Profoundly studying the sit
uation through the months of mixed and
dubious political agitation which pre-
coded the Chicago Convention, he held
his final decision subject to the action of
that body. 1t nominated Blaine, and the
. withdrawal Of the old man simply means
'Bovs, you don't need your Cncle Samuel
! to beat htm-go in and win" He saw
the better portion of the Republican
party rising in revolt against the nomna-
tion-against the man and his myrmidons
and he knew be was not needed to
carry New York and other doubtful
States. If, then, victory is so certain, the
noblest magnanimity is one of the loft V
attributes Of the nature of man who
once declined to assert his rights and the
rights Of his friends lest anarchy might
; affiict his country and who now yields to
another the prize which is his Let his
voice be heard in its award to another
and we hope he will say GROVER
| CLEVELAND, the "tidal- wave Governor ,
OF New York.
We can but consider the action Of Mr..
Tlden the 'urest sign that the Democrat,
will win

The Republican State Central Committee met
Yesterday, and issued the call for State COnvcn-

been made, for we consider this authority

the Independent nominees Of course it

the liberty and inquire all the same. OF

seem to us as if the Independents were

ing the seven members of their party at

from the Democratic party, and therefore
have concluded to nominate their own
handle all the campaign
money, and let the Independents support
them, if they want to be with them. The

A correspondent at " Catasauqua, Pa, writes
as follows:
Owing to q difference of opinion in regard to

to give us something definite about it. Some hold
that he is Catholic some that he is Presbyterian
and still Others that he is nothing Now how is it !?
We do not know. We advise our correspon-
dent to apply to Jay Gould and Russell Sage,
OF 10 Robert G. Ingersoll. Mr.. Ingersoll put Mr.
Blaine in nomination in the Cincinnati Conven-
