What the Republican Revolt Means.


NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-The revolt against Mr..
Blaine of the stawart element of the Republican
party in Oneida county was viewed at Republ
can national and state headquarters with the
complacency that has invariably characterized
the bearing of the committeeman where news of
an unpleasant kind has been brought to their
attention. The attitude of ex-senator Conkling
in the present canvass the basis for the
opinion that prevailed even at the
beginning of the campaign that the
friends of the ex-senator would sooner
or latter unite in antagonism of the party
candidate. Identical with those of the great
party of Independent Republicans throughout
the state the grounds on which the Utica
stalwarts make their protest. These grounds
are described in the simple statement that Mr..
Blaine is held to be unfit person for the office
10 which he aspires. Not TO the political ele
ment distinctively do the signers of the protest
belong. They are lawyers, merchants and men
of eminent responsibility in the community,
whose fidelity to the party has hitherto been I'M
questioned, and who are actuated in their course
by the idea that TINY promoting the true in
terests Of the Republican organization.
With the friends of Ex-senator Conklng on
one hand and those of the late Secretary Foger
on the other arrayed against him, Mr.. Blaine is
not receiving the kindlest treatment in the
world from the men whose support he would at
one time have counted upon. Additions of this
character to the ranks of the Independents have
created a gloomy atmosphere at headquarters,
and had much to do with forcing the Republican
national committeeman to the conclusion that If
they expected to win they would have to do so
without the aid of New York.
II was amusing TO note the bearing of Mr..
Elkins when the Utica revolt was called TO his
attention to-day. When his opinion was asked
concerning it, Mr.. Elkins evidently some
what irrtated. ave have not time he said
glancing at a newspaper containing a report of
the anti-Blaine uprising, ''to bother with such
trihes. Three or four men get together
in the rear Of a barn, draw up resolu-
tions, and the opposition newspapers
Immediately proceed to spread the matter
before the public in the light of great revolt
against the Republican candidate, BIB, Take
il away. 1t is nonsense and Mr.. Elkins tnrned
bis attention to party of men who were waiting
TO see him.
At the state headquarters in the Gilsey house,
the subject was viewed in similar light. The
indicators all point that the Republicans CIV
ing up hope of carrying this state and placing
all their hope on the Indiana, New Jersey and
Connecticut results. This grows palmer
day by day. This is no doubt
largely due to the Independent
vote, about which much has been said in pre-
vlous dispatches The subject is worth consid-
Grafton. Unless the leaders of the Independ-
ents have grossly equiyocsted, and they are not
men given TO lying, there record enough
Republicans who will vote for Cleveland to carry
this state, even though Tammany casts her full
vote for Blaine. Chairman Demming, of the
national committee OF Independents and Repub-
lcans, said to-day that the Republican
detection in the state outside OF this city
and Brooklyn was fully 10000. This seems an
incredible statement, and yet Mr.. Demming says
| the books OF the committee viii show il 10 be
fact The very fact that at the headquarters
thirty clerks are kept very busy attending TO the
| correspondents shows that something is up
somewhere. This, in the addition to the $4,000
! claimed by Mr.. Demming, the hide
/ pendents, of Brooklyn, claim 10000
voters who Will not bow the knee
| 70 Blaine and what the number is in this city 1t
is hard to estimate. 1t is undoubtedly very large
The result of these claims goes TO show that I'M
| less the anti Cleveland movement in the Demo
cratic ranks is much larger than anyone has
| claimed, Cleveland will carry the Empire state
\ by amaiority fully as large as when he was
| elected governor, but. undoubtedly there will be
| large Blaine and Butler vote drawn from the
Democratic ranks, and while there are those
who think the Prohibition vote will
about Offset the Butler vote. No one pretends to
TO say how large q number Of anti-Cleveland
Democrats will try to elect Mr.. Blaine.
Careful observers who desire the election of
Cleveland say that the battle ground is now II
diana and New Jersey At the Democratic head
| quarters here the managers express perfect con-
/ hdence in carrying the state Gov. Albeit tel
! egraphed to-day that New Jersey was a. sure as
| Kentucky. Concerning Connecticut too, they
! are confident. In fact the Independents
say they have on their books the names Of more
I than enough Republicans 20 knock Mr.. Blaine-s
| chances higher than a kite. The Prohibition
movement there is also going 10 make Itself felt.
| The same tactics have been tried there here
By the Republicans by claiming that the cause of
| temperance demanded the withdrawal Of St
! John. The same results have followed. The
I Prohibitlonists are working harder than ever.
There has been no news from Indiana of note
received by the Democrats here for several
| days. The Independents say that
the state is so close that the result would be
tremelT doubtful but for the strength of The
! Independent movement, which Secretary Green
says is considerable. He said to-day that except
/ ing New York and Massachusetts. the Indepen-
anywhere. He said that ne did not regard the
state as by any means close, since there were
something Ike 10000 Republican voters in the
state who woald not vote for Blaine IN short.
