What SchurZ Will Do.

81. Louis, June 10. Carl Schurz
arrived in the city to day and was in
consultation all the afternoon with
DIR. Pretorious, editor of the West
liche Post, which Mr.. Schurz man
aged editorially, and of which he is
still a principal stockholder, and
member OF the board of directors.
Mr.. Schurz told Il reporter this even
ing that he would never give his sup
port to Blame and Logan, the Re
publican ticket. Beyond this he
would not tclk, but DR.. Pretorious
said in his presence and with his ap-
proval that Mr.. Schm- was opposed
to the Republican ticket. principally
on account of Blaine the head of the
ticket, whom he considered a very
corrupt man. 1t did not make so
much difference what kind of man
the tail OF the ticket was, but he coulp
not support man for president with
Blaine's corrupt record. The West
liche Post will take no active part in
the campaign, except to give Blaine
shot now and then. The inde-
pendent Republicans are to have a
conference IN New York IN a few
days, which Mr.. Schurz will attend,
and It will then be decided what
course they will follow during the
campaign, or perhaps they will adj
journ to meet again after the Demo
cratic convention, and then deter
mine upon their course.

Mr.. Hendricks Interviewed.

Indianapolis, June II.-Hon.
Thos. A. Hendricks in an interview
concerning Tllden's letter of declin-
alton, said the news was not mat
ter of surprise 10 hIm, for when he
visited Tilden in August last that
gentleman firmly announced his IN
tention to remain permanently out of
politics On succeeding visit in
April last the same determination
had been expressed. Mr.. Hendricks
thought there was but little doubt
that the old ticket would have unan-
imouslv nominated at the Chicago
convention if IT had not been for the
declartion to-day He said that the
demand for it among the Democracy
was almost universal and greater than
any movement OF the kind ever seen
IN politics. Personally he telt no
great disappointment; did not want
the vice-presidency eight years ago
and do not want it now. If the old
ticket had renamed in the field, he
should have considered the election
of that place great honor conferred
by the people as a rebuke to what
they considered great wrong. 1t
would have prevented the seating OF
Hays in 1876 from becoming pre-
ceden. 10 future elections.

chased The Kenebec Journal, OF
which Mr.. Blaine at once became
editor. The Journal was a weekly
paper, one of the organs of the w hig
party, and exercised considerable po-
litical influence. In 1857 MIR. Bl aine
disposed of his interest in this paper,
and became Editor of the Portland
Daily Advertiser. In the campaign
of 1860 he returned temporarily to
his old post on the Kennebcc Journ-
al on account of the illness of its
Editor. His career in journalism
lasted only six years, but was mark
ed throughout by ability and success,
and it served to give him good in
PRODUCTION to the world OF politics
and craftsmanship.
When the old Wing party went TO
pieces MIR. Blame Joined hands with
Governor Arson p Morrill, in or
ganizing the Republican party in the
Pine Tree State. HIS vigorous at
tacks upon the Buchanan Admins
tration made him power IN the
new organization. In 1858, when
he was in his tsventy-ninth year, he
was elected to the Legislature. He
served two years on the floor of the
Lower House and two wears IN the
chair, where he displayed the quail
ties of parliamentary leadership and
control that afterward gave hlm such
renown in the National Legislature
at Washington. 1t is also worthy of
mention that he took an active part
as public speaker III the Fremont
campaigns of 1886,
REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS.
In 1862 Mr.. Blaine was nomInat-
ed for Congress IN the kenne bee
District, and was elected by a ma
ioritv of 5000 votes. To this posi-
ton he was successively elected, in
each succeeding Congress, until his
promotion to the United States Sem
ate by the Governor of Maine, July
10, 1876, to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Senator Nor
rill, who then became Secretary of
the Treasury. He was subsequently,
elected for the unexpired term and
tor the ensuing term expiring in
1883.

We speak by the card when we say
that the Troy Free Press or no other
paper in the district can defeat Judge
Robinson for Congress. 1t is q poor
argument that because a man has
been elected to one position and de-
sires a change, that he should be COM
PEELED to fill out the term of his of
flee before he is eligible for another.
The following extracts from the
Free Press are better arguments in
his favor than we cal produce:
They have tried him on the bench
and found him to be excellent judge.
His constituents are not sure that
they will succeed in getting upon the
bench q man who so well satisfies
them as he does.
Compliments of this kind are of a
character that proves he is highly

that his competitors in that emu OF
