tional Administration. Our readers will OBJ
serve that even among the party press the N.
Y Times and the Boston Advertiser already
decline to support the Republican ticket.
From the Boston Herald, (Rep.)
Believing that Mr.. Blaine would be bad
and dangerous President we hope TO see him
defeated. Believing him TO be a weak candi-
date we expect to see him defeated. His
zealots say he can be elected without the vote
of New York They will have chance to
prove it. Perhaps they think he can be elect
ed without the help of Massachusetts. 1t is
not improbable that they may have chance
to test this also.
Wilmington, Del, Special to the Er'ng. Post.
The Morning Ne,Us (Rep.,) of this city, has
taken down the names of Blaine and Logan
and come out with an editorial headed "a
Bad Start" showing Il strong inclination to
join the Independents.
Hayper's Weekly Rep
Fidelity to Republican principles requires
indifference to present Republican success,
and Hdrpe,'s Weekly, which more than once
has not hesitated in the interest of public
morality and of party publication to oppose
other Republican nominations, cannot sustain
the significant one against which it has so
earnestly protested, and which is practical
abdication of Republican character and pur-
pose.
The New York correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Ledger says: As Mr.. Blaine never
had much of following in this city, the news
of his nomination naturally was received here
with anything but enthusiasm by the great
body of Republicans at the hotels and other
places of public resort.
NYAcK, N. Y, June 6.-The nomination of
Mr.. Blaine is received by Republicans here
with varied expressions of opinion. Blaine's
admirers are enthusiastic over his nomination
and express the fullest confidence of his cleo
ton. A number who have been opposed to
his nomination say they will not vote for him,
and do not believe he can carry this State.
Dies MONIES, Iowa, June 6.-Nothing but
necessary business was attended to here to-day
public attention being engrossed with the bull
fetins from the Republican Convention.
While the majority of the crowd were noisy
Blaine Republicans, there were many who
were reticent of words, and when the breakup
came they looked panied and anxious. More
than dozen Republicans volunteered the
the statement to The Times's correspondent
that they cannot vote for Blaine that they
will not allow mere clamor to override
their conscience. Two or three said they
will now vote for Butler, and others said they
hoped Tiden would be put up.
NEWARK, N. j., June 6.-The news of the
nomination of Blaine and Logan met with a
a cold reception in this city. An attempt to
enthuse the faithful by the City Central Com
mittee by fireworks, salutes, and bands of
music this evening was quite Intellectual, and
crowds of dissatisfied Republicans gathered
in the streets to express their disapprobatlon
of the action of the convention. The editor
of Republican paper is reported as rendering
his rather than SnnnOrt the ticket.
JERSEY CRY, June 6.-The nomination of
Mr.. Blaine was received in Jersey City with
mingled feelings of satisfaction and doubt
Yesterday afternoon. The Republicans of the
State-a very large proportion of them at any
rate-had been warmly for his nom nation,
but the assaults made on his availability,
made them apprehensive Of defeat after the
nomination had been accomplished. The
merchants especially believe that his policy
if he should be inaugurated, would be inlml-
cal to the business interests of the country.
SING SING, June 6.-The news of the nom-
nation of James G. Blaine for President has
not created any enthusiasm among the Repub-
licans in this locality, and a good many have
been outspoken enough TO say they cannot and
will not support him. Those who seem to be
most satisfied with the nomination are the
Democrats, who are smiling all over and ask
ing their Republican friends, "What are you
going to do about it ?"
Several hundred returning delegates from
Chicago arrived in New York early Sunday
morning. Among them were many reform
ers,'' who refused to say what action was
meditated in view Of their defeat at the con;
venton. They said, however, that they did
not intend to support Blaine. The Blaine
men seemed jubilant, and predicted that all
the kickerS would fall into line before next
November, and that their candidate would
certainly be elected.
The Rev. DIR. Howard Crosby said Sunday
night 81 don't like the nomination of Blaine
ut all. | think Mr. Blaine is an unprincipled
and reckless politician. He is just the man
to involve the nation in difficulties with foreign
countries if given loose rein, and would no
doubt do so if elected. If the Democrats
nominate any decent man, like Bayard or
Cleveland, shall certainly vote for him, al
though | have voted the Republican ticket
nearly all my life, and voted the Wing ticket
before | voted that. | was i'll the company of
twenty ministers yesterday, and every one of
them expressed the same opinion: ! think
the Democrats will get 10000 Republican
votes in New York city if they put up any de-
cent man, If they put up IA political mopnte-
bank like Ben Butler, don't know what we
shall do
Rev. Henry Ward Beeeker is indignant over
the nomination ef Blaine. He says from what
he knows about him he would not vote for
Blaine for any public office in the United
States. He further says that if the Demo
Gratis nominate Gov. Cleveland he will vote
for him with pleasure; that if the Republicans
cannot elect decent President Democrat
should be chosen.
Ex-Gov. Chamberlaine, of New York,
writes to the New York Times that the nomi
nations and platform are disgracetul, and that
he will support neither.
WHAT NEW YORK BUSINESS MEN SAY.
A reporter of the New York World inter.
viewed many business men at various en-
changes.
"The Democrats are all shouting for Blaine,
cried one Republican. That shows that he
is the weakest man the Republicans can nom-
mate"
''If Blaine is nominated | shall vote for
Tilden," shouted another Republican.
The betting was quite general that Blaine
would be defeated. One bet was made that
Iilden would carry the State of New York by
$4,000 majority over Blaine. Even before
Blaine was nominated one member made
several offers to bet $500 to $50 that Tilden
would be the next President. There were no
takers.
When the result was finally recorded and
"Blaine is nominated" was posted on the
blackboard at the Produce Exchange, there
was some cheering by the few Blaine men
present, but there were many Kisses heard as
well. There is not particle of doubt that a
large number of Republicans in the Produce
Exchange will bolt the nomination of blaine
aud vote for the Democratic nominee. The
World reporter was assured of this by many
members.
Mr. J. NJ. Hazeltine, prominent member
of the Produce Exchange and a strong Re-
publican, said: 81 am black Republican, as
black as they make them, but shall be very
