POLITICS AND POLITICIANS.

The ST. Paul Pioneer .SrrSs while scouting
the story that trad has been arranged be.
tween the friends,ef Mr.. Blaine and President
Arthur, whereby the latter is to succeed Mr..
Lapham IRfihe senate, thinks it is interesting
rs sh9HSihg appreciation of the shrewd ana
eStteiient management Of the present cam
fpuign. such a move would be piece oil
bright policy that would not fail Of effect. An
honorable unanimity Of purpose between the
friends of Blaine and Arthur in New York
would strengthen the party as whole. 1t
would completely unity the party in the state
and remove any feeling of lukewarmness, or
any lingering dissatisfaction that may still re-
main behind.
Tho Philadelphia Press calls attention to tho
notable constancy with which the Philadel-
pha republican constituencies stick to their
members of congress who have been tried and
found faithful. Judge william d. Kelley was
nominated Wednesday for the thirteenth time.
Should he serve out the term his years OF
service In the house will be twenty-six. No
other namo was presented to the convention,
or oven thought Of Hon. Charles O'Neill was
with equal unanimity re.nominated from the

The republican campaign In Michigan has
warmed up greatly under the enthusiasm ere
ated by the visit of Gen. Logan. His rccep-
ton at jackson was attended by 10000 people.
A great crowd was gatheredat Charlotte when
his train passed through, and at Grand Rapids
great torchlight procession paraded In his
honor. Gen, Algar, Senator Palmer, ex-Gov.
Blair, Congressman Lacey and other distin-
guished leaders of the party in the state ac-
company Gen. Logan, and the influence OF
their presence and speeches after his own has
served to stir tho party into making a red-hot
campaign all along the line.

The Louisiana democrats have nominated
uncompromising protectionists for congress in
the persons of Edward j, Gay. William T..
| Houston (who Is to succeed Representative FL
| lis), and Hon. Carleton Hunt Tho New Or
leans Picdyune vouches for the devotion of
these gentlemen to the doctrine of protection,
and thinks that Louisiana will now have due
recognition for her great industries in the next
congress. 1t is somewhat suggestive of the
spread of republican ideas in the south,
brought about by the necessity of fostering ma
terlal interests, created through the republican
protection policy.

Mr.. ]. Hendrix McLane is the independent
candidate for congress in the first South Caro-
lima district. If the republicans will only
give him a hearty support he will defeat Dib
Bile, and add another vote to the galaxy that
will support Mr.. Blaine's administration in
congress. The NetpS aud Courier, of Charleston
is bitterly opposed to this programme, but
then that paper Is not hurting itself by hard
work in the interest of the republican party.
A PLAN was arranged and the money ad
vanced by Mr.. jacob Thompson, in 1864, tc
burn the city OF Cincinnati, but it miscarried
A very good account of 1t over Mr., Thompson''

PUBLICAN issued to-day. Single copies in
