THE REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN
VIEWS OF SOME LEADING MEN.

GkuGiNG THE INDEPENDENT stkkN"ih
sErrs sArE FOR BLAINE-THE SOUTH NOT TO
BE SOLID.
IBr TELEGRAPH TO rHr rRrRUsEl
w.sutxcrox June 9-Ex-Governor Long. OF
Masschusstts does not think that the Independents
will nut another ticket in the field. lie said To-
day that much would depend, of course. upon what
the Democrats did in July, but Massachusetts
wonld certainly go Republican under any
circumstances. IL the Democrats nominated
Cleveland or Bayard. II would increase their
chances. The disatection, however was local TO
Massachusetts, and Southern New-York and the
ticket of Blaine and Logan was pbenomenally
strong elsewhere.
Congressman Dingley of Maine, says that for
every voter the Republicans lose by the disalfec-
tion of the Independents they will gain ten
elsewhere The South. he thinks, will
not 90 Democratic by default, as here
toforc. and the Democrats will have
20 watch Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and
Tennessee or they will probably lose them. He
saws that New-York is rendered doubtful, but that
there is no room for question about Massaehu-
setts IL will certainly cast its electoral votes IN
the usual way. The only man, he says who
can give the Republicans any trouble III
that State is General Butler, and he
is so weak elsewhere that the Demo-
Gratis could not afford TO nominate him. lie
saws Ohio and West Virginia will certainly 60 for
Blaine in October. He says he does not attach
much Importance to the disahection in the party
and that the Democrats will find themselves worse
split up when they come TO nominate their man.
lie thinks Bayard would probably be
the strongest man for the Demo
Gratis In New-York and Cleveland would
come next. but both would meet with opposition
and would be weak elsewhere.
Congressman Ryan, of Kansas thinks the Repuo-
Il nf that COuQ have
been chosen.
THE FIGHT WON IN OHIO
Mr.. Taylor, of Ohio, in talking of the probable
action of the Independents, SAID: The
bolt will not amount to anything In my
opinion, in Ohio. Why, we have the state
now. In my district there Is no necessity OF the
Republican party's conducting any sort OF cam
paign. There is no need of even speech being
made. We can carry the district by lying supinely
upon our backs"
To n reporter of The Critic Colonel John A.
joyce said: 81 think the Republican party
has nominated the strongest men in the
organization. Blaine is brave. brilliant and au-
dacous; will draw the fire of the enemy and force
the fighting until the sets on the ldas OF No
vember."
"What effect will PucI's cartoons on Blaine have
on the tlcketf"
Sensible people pay more attention to principle
than they do TO pictures WINE "c'
is tattooing Blaine, it would be well
Il tattoo him properly-place on his forehead
Union forever; place on his right arm men ana
money to conquer the slave rebellion ! place on
his left arm Reconstruction and loyalty place on
his right leg civil rights place on his
left leg American labor against Oriental pau
pers'; place on both of his feet, The Constitution
mud the Union one and inseparable =;
Standing on q platform of American protection he
will knock out the English free-traders in the first
round"
THE OPPOSITION TO BLAINE
'.Whqt about the Independent opposition to
Blanei"
There are always a. lot of 'man-milliners ana
taiors of Tooley Street who imagine that time
mud the wheels of trade revolve around their bal
morals and breeches. They are like the fly on the
bulls horn, who thinks he does the mischief when
the china shop is invaded, and the crockery Is
smashed by the bull. Blaine can lose New YORK
aud still be elected. He cary the Pacific slope,
Indiana and Connecticut on protection 10 American
Industries"
