Blaine In North Carolina,
From the Boston Travel,

North Cardinals eleven electoral votes arc
not by any means sure for the Democratic
candidate. There is a warm feeling towards
MIR. Blame in the Old North State, and it ex.
tends beyond the lines of the Republican
party. 1t will not be surprising if the State
should wheel into the Republican column
this time. 1t has growing stake In manu-
| features, which makes it less and less in
| clined to desire the overthrow of the Amer-
can protective system. Boston people will
| remember the exhibit of the North Caro-
| linians at the great fair held in this city a
| year ago, which bore strong evidence CT the
| spirit of progress and enterprise which has
| seized upon the State, and brought it natu-
rally into sympathetic relations with the
Republican North. As hint of what is
likely to happen there in November, we
are permitted to quote the following passage
from private letter written by prominent
Raleigh, n. c., gentleman to friend in this
city.
The republic should be congratulated upon
the nomination of James g. Blaine. The
wild enthusiasm attending the proceedings of
the convention and the spontaneous uproar
Of welcome which his nomination has
received throughout the country attests
the high esteem in which he is so deservedy
held
MIR Blaine is and should be the pride of
every patriot He is brilliant. profound of
generous nature, skilled in governmental
polity, honest and sensitively appreciative of
the honor and dignity Of the republic. No
wonder then, that he is cnthroned in the
hearts Of the people, and has their full and
unreserved. confidence. Among those who
know him this feeling dominates at the South
us well as at the North.
AS yet, of course, the plan of campaign is |
partially, only, formed, especially at the |
South, we being desirous of conforming our |
methods to those of our Northern friends |
OF this | can now, however, assure you, |
that Mr.. Blaine will receive the full Repub- |
lican vote OF North Carolina, and with prop |
er management and earnest effort much |
more.

THE VERMONT UONGREssuEN
And Their Views In Regard TO the Ma
tiOnaI Ticket.

Washington Correspondence Boston Advertiser
Some days ago Colonel A. +. Walker of
Rutland wrote to Senator Edmunds, telling
him OF the disaffection, and asking him what
the State convention ought to do-formaly
to bolt Blaine, utter an emphatic protest, or
submit in silence. The delegation deter
mined to write letter to be read at the con-
vention, counseling moderation and advising
that Blaine, as the party nominee, be for
mally Endorsed. Judge Poland prepared a
draft of such letter, and took it up to Mr..
Edmunds's house to read it to the others
there. They listened to ii in silence. 1t was
strong appeal to the Vermontcrs to
stand firm by their party and elect Blaine.
Inc tatiit and Southern questions were
dwelt upon. But when the letter had been
read no one manifested n desire to sign it
and thereby make it his own. The two
Senators thought that it was too strong.
They were willing to take firm stand for
the Republican cause, but had no desire to
appear as ndorsers or sponsors Of Mr.. Blaine
before their constituents. Mr.. Edmunds
wrote draft containing his ideas. They
were different from Judge Poland's IN that
they were far milder.
The delegation talked the matter over and
could arrive at no form Of words which sat
ist1ed them all. Judge Poland was the only
one who cared to 90 out of his way to say
anything for Blaine. Finally, a very simple
solution of the problem presented itself to
them. What need was there of writing a
letter at all ? They said to themselves that
it would be almost presumptuous to try to
guide the action of Vermont, where the
people are intelligent enough not to need
outside direction in their convention. This
idea found favor. The idea of delegative
letter was given up. So no letter was sent.
Judge Poland says that he sent his own let
| ter, not as an answer to Colonel Walker but
| to be read directly to the convention. Mr.
Edmunds wrote short private note ia
Colonel Walker, the contents of which are
not made public.

From the West Randolph Herald

We are not specially enthusiastic for

ranks of the Republican party. While
every man is Untitled to his own opinion
regarding the candidates, we believe that
the circumstances are such as to require of
every Republican that he stand by the action

The disappointment all have l,l, 81 ! YEA
away, is wearing away. The party 10
whom Vermont has ever given her support
will still receive that support though anoth
or fills the place she should have filled. There
is the same amount of loyalty to party here
that there ever was, and it will show itself
as soon as the hurt wears away.
From the Middlebury Registrr.l
We place the Republican National ticket at
the head of our columns and shall support it
to the best of our ability. Sine, the last
issue change in the ownership of the paper
has taken place by which the editor for the
past year and n half becomes owner OF a con
trolling interest in the Register company.
From the St. Johnshury Caledonian,l
Not few of our friends have inquired dur
ing the past week why the Republican Ma.
lional ticket did not appear at the head of
the Caledonidn'S editorial column. The
question is very easy to answer. 1t is be-
cause that ticket is such a one as the Gale
R0nian cannot consistently support. We
used to eat crow with the rest years ago but
we have discovered that while crow may be
beneficial as an article of diet,
our constitution does not require 1t and
we therefore think best to let 1t severely
alone.
