lBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
WAsHINGTON June THE work Of the Repub-
lican National Convention continues to be tho
theme among politicians here Everywhere ono
hears expressions of hearty approval The Blaine
men naturally are the most enthusiastic, but
even the supporters of Arthur have caughb
something Of tho feeling aud now shout
az Justify for Blaine as they did some
hours ago for Arthur Harmony and good will
prevail on all sides. The small animosities grow
ing out of q contest among friends are forgotten.
Everybody seems ready to fall to and work for the
good of the party. The Blaine enthusiasm has
proved infectious, and communicates itself to all
the friends of the late candidates The latter arc
foremost declaring the ticket to be the strongest
one that possibly could have been chosen. With
out exception they pronounce themselves eager
to enter the fray and support to the best of ther
ability the Republican nominees.
The little discordant squeal OF The Times evoked
good deal of merrlment. Nobody pretends to
say that it will cost the Republican party any
thing 1t is felt that the free trade leanings OF
that paper have already alienate1 1t from the
sympathes of true Republicans, and the course it
has now chosen to take, 1t is thought,
will scarcely produce the effect which its
propretors fondy imagine 1t may. Even among
Independents the feeling prevails that The Tines
committed an act OfsuDreme folly when it declared
that it would not support the nominees of tho
party should they prove be either Blaine orArthur
Such attempts at bulldozing the convention were
deprecated by Independents, and resented by the
Arthur and Blaine men. The same effect it had
upon the convention viz, none at all" said one
lately an Arthur man, to-day, it will have upon
the party at large. These are merely the harmless
rawlings of disappointment. No Republicans worthy
OF the name will pay any attention to them" Even
Democrats among whom one naturally might look
for expressions of Joy at the detection of Repub-
lean paper regard the utterances Of The Tines as
amounting to nothing at all The utterances Of
The BCst)R AdceTts r. while like in tone to those Of
The 7ine5 excited still less interest.
Mr. Lyman, of Massachusetts,. expressed the fear
that his State would go Democratic, ii good cand-
date was put into the field by the Democratic party.
Such contingency, however, was not considered as
likely to arise by other Massachusetts men, who
were sure that the old Commonwealth would 10

Because" responded the General, " 1t Is so hard
for the Democrats to beat It's the strongest tickes
that the Republicans could have nominated"
Mr. Curtin said the ticket was the strongest the
Republicans could have selected. He believed
that Blaine would get as many votes rs any he
