CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT
SENTIMENT OF THE REPUBLICANS OF ST. LAW
RfNCE COUNTY.

bENIlMENI Of The REPCbLlCANS Of LAW
RENEE COUNTY.
GoUvERNEUR, NY, Feb. 1.-the Free Press
publishes a number of letters from Republicans of
the several towns OF st. Lawrence County
in answer to inquiries regarding their
choice for the Presidency. These replies
indicate strong sentiment in favor of Blaine or Edmunds
although Senators Sherman and Logan Secretary Lincoln
and General Sherman mentioned strong candi-
dates While Of the writers think that the admins
traon of the President deserves recognition by his
nomination, the majority of them believe that the party
would assume too much risk in placing his before
the people.
Surrogate Abbott, Of GOuverneur says that Edmunds
has great many friends the northern part OF the State
He does not believe that there is any chance of nom-
mating Arthur. George NJ. Gleason writes "My first
choice is Blaine and think he would be the first choice
Of the Republicans Of this town. Blaine and Low would
make strong ticket. Ny second choice is Edmunds and
Sherman next think the nomination Of Arthur would
be suicidal" E. 8. Crapser of Stockholm Depot
states his views follows: "Edmunds is a
good man, Lincoln grand old name. Either
would be well supported" Ex-senator Lynde declares
that Edmunds would be the first choice Of st. Lawrence
County He does not believe that the delegation would
ask the denomination Of Arthur. George
B. Swan writes that Blaine is the first
choice Of the Republicans Of POtsdam and that II
would be unwise to Tenolninate Arthur. NJ. K. Wait
SAYS nc tbe o Ia ~ armne:s toward
President Arthur that might prove fatal The views Of
ex-senator d. A. Moore of DeKalb, :" SO far az
have heard It expressed the sentiment is decidedly In
favor Of Blaine. Every one speaks well OF Judge
Edmunds."
The OF Blaine and Lincoln" writes g. Q. Crane
of Potsda would create enthusiasm In the rank and
e of Republicans unequaled since the days OF go and
'68. II is believed and talked In this section
that General Sherman is the coming man." " Blaine,
Edmunds Lincoln or Sherman" says DisIict-Attorney
Lang of Brasher Falls, "would think, draw fun vote
in this town." ExCounty Clerk Ralph, OF Canton says
Blaine has been, and think to-day the first choice OF
a majority OF the Republicans OF our town. Senator
Edmunds has many friends, perhaps many as Mr..
Blaine Both OF the Shermans are well thought
Of The denomination OF President Arthur think
would be unwse." Joseph Anderson, OF Fine knows no
reason why Blaine, Sherman Arthur, C0nklng or Lin
coin should receive the full vote Of the county j. T.
Rutherford says that Logan has considerable strength
with the soldiers but he does not think that he Is as
strong as Lincoln HARRISON of Indiana, he asserts is
good man.

night ago. he failed to exngush the fire he had had burn
ing there He thus setre to the mne and the conagra
ton has thus far baed all efforts to It, The
passageways leading to other parts Of the mine have been
closed to smother the flames Despite this precauton the
mine continues to burn and feared that Its work
will have to be suspended and the mine flooded On Fri
day two sent into the drift to what progress
the fire was making. When they opened of the pas
sageways large volume of gas blew out upon them,
knocked them down with such force as TO render them
insensbe and put their safetylamps. The lesson
was timely one, and will doubt cause miners carry
ing naked lamps 10 keep away from the lire The hames
are now in close proximity the only gangway leading
TO the main workings of the mine and II will require but
few days TO determine what action is necessary

the loss of the time of the miners
