From Our s9eei1. Corrsspondtni. r.. n t..aH
WAsnlSaroS, D. O., June 1.-THE Re
prbicars continue to assert with conf
dencs that Nj. Blaine will carry Weat Vir.
g!nia, and tho assertion so often repeated L
source Of some annoyance 10 the Demo.
Gratis. I met Senator Camden in tho Senate
Chamber this morning and aked him
what he thought about Il. "Oh," said Mr..
Camden, the claim that the Republicans
are going 10 carry West Virginia is a part
OF the bluster with which the Blaine.
ties propose to carry on the campaign.
Blaine has no more chance Of carrying our
State than he has CT carrying Kentucky.
It is q part OF the Republican party to
claim that they will carry every State In
the South where The Democrats have major.
tiles oi less than ten or fifteen thousand
votes. 3
.gN OF COURSE WE WILL.
II see they are also claiming that they
will even be able to carry Louisiana, Mis-.
slsaippi, North Carolina and Virginia.
Now" said Senator Camden, "this ia all
blus!er. In my opinion they will do well
Il they carry Ohio. As TO West Virginia
the Democrats Of that State are not SO
easily s.ampcded. They canno. be bought
up and there Is no danger whatever Of
West Virginia casting its electoral yose for
Blaine or any other Republican candidate.
II. Is said, said Senator Camden, 'thst
Mr.. Blaine has large real estate and rail-
road Interests in West Virginia. There
are dcz.n men who have never been in
West Virginia who have ten times the
amount invested there that Mr.. Blaine has,
West Virginia Is Democratic State aud
will cast its electoral vote for the nominee
OF the Chicago Convention to be held rext

Ex-senator Davis was at the Capitol to-
day talking politics with the Democratic
Senators. He does not take much stock in
the independent movement aSains. Blaine.
He came into the Senate and had quite a
conference with Senator Bayard, his iavorite
candidate ior President. What Was eaid
between them only the two are able to tell
TIE rLuMED KNIGHT CONFIDENT.
Representative Melliken, OF Maine, who
went home Immediately after the Chicago
Convention, returned to the House to-day.
He has been working industriously for
Blaine, and called upon him in Augusta.
He gays tha Plumed Knight is very CONT
dent, not being in the lea3t discouraged by
the bolt" He docs not think, he Gays,
that the people Of Massachusetts
could afford to have a free trade
Democratic President in view o.
all they have at stake in the way
OF manufactures. They have too much
yrass land to start prairie fire. In case
Ben Bl.ler fails to secure the Democratic
nomination Massachusetts, will certainly
ne thinks; SO for Blaine and Logan. HI
believes Butler to be the only Democrat
who could secure the Democratic and In
dependent Republican combined vote.
