BUSINESS MEMS MOVEMENT IN ST. LOUIS.
ST. LOUIS, June 13.-The movement
among business men to send representa-
ton of solid commercial men to the Chi
cago convention is growing rapidly. The
German papers of st. Louis. hitherto re-
publican, have b0lted, and cry aloud for
Bayard.
ANOTHER INFLUENTIAL JOURNAL
BOLTS.
The n. Y. Independent, which has al
ways been steadfast supporter of the re-
publican party. its nomination, and its
principles, announces in its issue of this
week that it will not support the ticket
nominated at Chicago. 1t says that the
party is worth nothing except as it conti-
nues to represent principles and reform.
When it is dead the quiet, earnest patriots
who have sustained it must bury it. The
Independent prefers to believe that the
party is sick rather than dead. and says
defeat may purge and reinvigorase 1T. The
conscience of true republicans will surely
defeat its unworthy ticket, and IF the
democrats nominate an unexceptiOnable
candidate, like Bayard or Cleveland, they
would make the election of Blaine impos-
sible."
THOSE WHO FURNISHED THE CORPSE. TO
BOSS THE FUNERAL.
Rochester Post E1rpress, (rep.): Gin
nominating Blaine mortal challenge
has been offered to the floating voter of
the country, who always has it in his
power to- decide close election, and the
independent republicans have been con-
fronted with the candidate most obnoxi-
Gus to them. The nail, having been
driven home, has been clinched on the
other side by adding the name of John A.
Logan to the ticket. We hear a great
deal of the obligation of its members to-
ward party, but we do not hear enough
of the obligations of party toward its
members. No party has right to de-
mand of its memb ers that they should do
violence to profound convictions. No
party has a right to assume that minor
itV which demands no office and presents
no candidate, and gives reasons for it's in
tended action, will brand itself with insin-
certify on three minutes notice. The
American people believe suicide is one of
the inaienable rights of every political Or
ganization, and that they who furnish the
corpse should be allowed to boss the fu-
neral. Precisely how the Republican
managers are going to rally the Indepen-
dents to Mr.. Blaine's standard, or to
carry the election without them, is mat
ter which concerns them alone-them, and
the candidate, and the party"
WHERE WILL THE INDEPENDENTS BE.
Chicago Inter- Ocean, fRep.): There is no
doubt but the nomination will be received
with enthusiasm. Bonfres will be kindled
all over the country, schOOl-hOuseS and
town halls will echo the sonOrouS periods
of Ingersoll IS famous eulogy, and there
will be grand response to the leader
call, but it remains to be seen whether
such enthusiasm will waste its force with
in the close boundaries of party, or, over
flowing. take in the Independent voter
and sweep forward to victory.
CAN'T CARRY NEW YORK.
Buffalo Commercial, Chairman War
ren's paper): The Commercial has freely
criticised Mr.. B!aine's availability as a
candidate. We have said that we did not
believe he would carry New York state,
and that to elect him would demand the
utmost exertions of the Republican party.
To what we have said we adhere.
THE MAGNETISM" WILL BE NEEDED.
Albany Express, (Rep.): We do not, of
course, know upon what plan the cam
pa ign upon which we are entering is to be
come largely into it. 1t looks as though
we might have use for all of it there is to
spare.
TWO CAREFUL STATEMENTS.
Worcester, Mass, Spy, (Rep.): We
should have no pleasure in predicting dis
aster to the Republican party but it is
impossible to expect with confidence Mr..
Blaine's election. He will lose many
votes, even in Massachusetts,, which sew
eral of the other candidates named at
Chicago would have had, and with such a
Democratic candidate as Cleveland op-
| posing him might have a hard task to
carry the state. He will have the hostili-
| ty Of two journals in New York as lnflu-
entail as any with the voters whose allie
glance to party sits lightly, the Times and
Evening Post, and he will lack the aid of
some experienced and effective cam
paigners.
Lowell, Mass, Courier, (Rep.): Blaine
and Logan were not the ticket we had
hoped to see nominated, for reasons which
we have repeatedly given. And while we
have denounced the abuse which has been
| heaped upon Mr.. Blaine, and have taken
| no stock in the charges which have, from
time to time, been ins1nuated, rather than
I made, against him, we have felt that his
| nomination would not give thgt assur-
ance of victory which we ought to have
had. and might have had.
TWENTY MINISTERS DENoUNCE BLAINE.
The Rev. DR.. Howard Crosby. of New
7 ork, said Sunday: II don't like the
nomination of Blaine at 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 demo-
Gratis nominate any decent man, like
Bayard or Cleveland, 1 shall certainly
vote for him, although I have voted the
republican ticket nearly all my life, and
voted the whig ticket before voted that
was in the company of twenty ministers
Saturday and every one of them expressed
will get $1,000 republican votes In New
York city if they put up any decent man.
If they put up a polite al mountebank
like Ben Butler don't know what we
shall do"
| WHAT PROMIN ENT REPUBLICANS OF
NEW YORK CITY SAY.
| Rev. Robert Colyer-''As to whether 1
shall support Mr.. Blaine, that depends on
| upthe right sort of man I should support
| him."
Jackson S. Schultz-''I shall have to
vote against Blaine. If the Democratic
platform has the true ring 1 shall vote for
| that candidate.
Francis A. Palmer, President Broad
way National Bank-''I fear the silent
vote will be very silent this year. The
enthusiasm manifested by young Repub.
lican voters at each Presidential election
[ fear will not be manifested this year,
John Jay Knox, President Bank of the
Republic-'ThisS State will be the battle
ground. and if the democrats nominate a
good man and New Yorker l think they
will be hard to beat''
