ment for the Democrats from Leading

the Delegates at Chicago.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-Ex-Senator Joe
Mcdonald, Of Indiana, is here for day
or two. He says that the Democrats. with
the proper candidate on the proper plat
form, can beat Blaine and Logan. Il
know Jim Blaine personally" said the
ex-senator. "He is a very clever. whole
souled man. He is a brainy man, full of
vim. He is an aggressive man, and al
ways has policy. Politically, he repre-
sents the very worst element in our Amer
lean politics. He is not, in my opinion.
as strong among the rank and file Of the
sober-thlnking people as his friends think
he IS. He viii make the campaign a very
/ lively one. l can see the policy marked
/ out IN the start. He will endeavor TO
I create the impression among the Irish
/ voters that, if elected President. he will
| get up war with England: in fact. he
! fight"
Can he carry Indianas'
mo, sir; he cannot. Arthur and Gres-
nam would have given US trouble in
Indiana. Mr.. Blaine is not so strong in
/ Indiana. was at Indianapolis when the
/ news Of his nomination came. 1t excited
/ no particular enthusiasm, and saw no
/ signs Of enthusiasm for the nomination
/ anywhere else as l came East.0
/ IMPORTANT CONGRATULATIONS MISSING.
Senator Voorhees, said that it was the
/ weakest nomination the Republicans
I could have made. Continuing. the Sena-
/ tOr said: Arthur and Gresham would
/ have given trouble in New York and In
/ diana. Blaine and Logan Will not. In
| my day have never known q nomination
/ TO fall so tlat among the members of its
own party. Blaine is an aggressive man,
ana he VIII make things lively for us.
/ There is a very large element Of the Re-
/ publican party who will not take to the
! ticket, and, by the by, have not seen anv
telegram from MIR. Edmunds yet congrat-
/ ulating him on his success. nor from
/ Conkhng, nor from Grant. All we have
/ got to do IS to put up a good ticket, and
/ we VIII win the fight sure"
SUNSET COX's VIEWS.
( Sunset Cox said: ''Blaine is the repre-
/ sentative man Of his party. The Repub-
/ ilcan party represents all that is vile and
/ vicious in our body polite. and know of
/ no man who more fully than Blaine
/ represents their ideas of civil service re-
| form. He is the embodiment Of sensa-
I tiOnal politics."
Can he carry New York;
| on! no. Nobody thinks that he can.
/ HIS friends say that he can be elected
/ without New York. Probably he can. I
don't think that he can. As New York
/ goes SO goes New Jersey and COnnecti-
/ CUT. Inat VIII elect our man. because
the solid South is conceded to us -
How about TIlden?'
Il don't know what he is going to do.
ana l Know as much as anybody else
about 1T. 1t is shame the way he is do
ing. He ought to get out of the wav or
say that he will accept. He is putting us
IN bad fix. We don't know WHAT to do.'
WEAK AMONG THE OHIO GERMANS,
Mr.. Follett, Of Cincinnati, said: II
think 1t very doubtful about Blaine car
| fylng ONO by that sweeping majority
! the Republicans are counting on. Our
towns ana cities are filed up with Ger
mans, and if there is one thing above an
other they hate it is the doctrine of pro-
| hlbiuOn. Blaine is now and has been for
| years so closely identified with that doc
trlne that / think that he will fall far
short OF the full strength of his party in

BLAINE FULL OF RESOURCES.
Congressman j. j. Adams, of New
! ork, returned from New York CITY this
morning. When asked what the feeling
IN New York was about the ticket. he
TepIieI; Il never saw nor heard so
much dissatisfaction in my life. The
business men and the middle classes arc
| down on it. 1t will not do to think
Blaine beat yet, though, nor that he is
weak. lie Is dexterous fellow, full Of
resources and eXpedients, and he will
be very hard to beat. Tilden can beat
/ nm. Slncum and any other good man
can beat him, in fact any Democrat can
beat hlm IN New York. But that is not
enough. If Ohio gives majority of o.
600 or 10000 in October for the Republi
cans, you will see the hottest campaign
you ever did in your life. [ hope our party
VIII put good ticket in the field. Such
a ticket as SlOcum or Cleveland, with
Morrison or any other good man, and sue
cess is assured. Morrison is probably the
best man for the second place, because he
was as good a Union soldier as Logan;
but it is going to be a very hotly contested
campaign"
DoLEFUL JOLLITY.
A large number of the Republican Sen
ators and Representatives who went to
Chicago were in their seats to-day. At
/ ter cOngratulating Senator Logan, who
| appeared in the Senate chamber for the
| first time since his nomination, they set
| to work to get up a local hurrah for the
/ ticket. In this they were ably assisted
| 10y the lobbyists. all of whom are solid for
Blaine. Between them they cheered up
| the Republicans who had been under the
| Chicago influence, but with it all the more
thoughtful Republicans were very sober.
| The Blaine enthusiasm here has been
forced from the beginning. Behind
it is a profound distrust of the
! ticket, and a profound fear of those terri
ble Independents who cannot be depended
upon to vote as the Blaine strikers shout.
Here is sample of the interviews pub
| lished this evening: Mr.. Dingley, of
Maine, asked what ne thought about the
! threatened bolt of the Independents,
said; 1t will not affect the ticket one
| particle in the end unless it is to increase
/ the aggregate vote for Blaine. | believe
that where one Independent leaves the
| party half dozen Democrats will sup
| port Blaine and Logan. The good Re
| publicans are thankful that they have
| bOlted."
do you believe that an Independent
! ticket will be put in the field?
AN INDEPENDENT TICKET.
Yes, it viii naturally follow, but it
! viii not be supported by any considerable
number of heretofore Republicans.v
"Wil not the bolt of the New York
/ Times, the Boston AdCertiSeT and other
Republican newspapers damage Blaine?''
| Mr.. Dingley smiled, and then replied,
/ with positive wave of his hand: at
| will help the Republican party more than
| anything / could imagine. Those papers
| have been preaching free trade and have
| been antagonistic to the general princi-
| pies of the Republican party, and it Is
| fortunate that they have gone over
/ where they belOng-to the Democracy"
''Will Blaine and Logan carry New
! York and Massachusetts? ?'
"rhey will beyond any question of
1 doubt. The disaffectiOn in those States
/ will help the party, as l have said. and
| will add strength in every locality. There
may have been names presented to the
/ convention that would have been stronger
in some localities, but they would have
! been weaker in others.
| TURNING To THE SOUTH.
''The South will not go Democratic by
| default as heretofore. The Democrats
will have to watch Virginia. North
/ Carolina, Florida and Tennessee, or
/ they will probably lose them.
| There is no room for a question about
| Massachusetts. 1t will certainly cast its
electoral votes in the usual way. The
only man who could give the Republicans
any trouble in that State is Gen, Butler.
and he is so weak elsewhere that the
| Democrats could not afford to nominate
| him. Ohio and West Virginia will GER
tainly go for Blaine in October. l do not
attach much importance to the disaffec-
ton in the party. The Democrats will
find themselves worse split up when they
| come to nominate their man."
BAYARD THE STRONGEST DEMOCRAT.
He thinks that Bayard would probably
| be the strongest man for the Democrats
in New York, and Cleveland would come
| next, but both would meet with oppo-
