CAN'T CARRY NEW YORK.

CAN'T CARRY NEW YORK.
Representative Campbell. of New York,
said: ITS the very ticket for the Demo-
Gratis. We couldn't have done better for
/ ourselves if we had had the making of the
ticket. If we can't beat Blaine and Logan
we can't beat anybody. Yes. our party
| is thoroughly united in New York and we
will carry the State. Blaine is weak in
New York"
Representative Wilson, of West Yir-
I ginia. said: Il can't understand why
Blaine is any stronger in West Virginia
than any other Republican. They have at
tempted a fusion of the Greenbackers and
Republicans there, but it is not a success.
The Democrats are always united in a
Presidential contest. and | have no fears
OF tRe result. Mr.. Blaine has no special
interest in our State. He is a director in
an uncompleted railroad. That's all"
STRONG IN THE WRONG PLACES.
EBlaine is very strong man where his
strength will be no good" said Mr..
Mutchler, Of Pennsylvania. "His strength
is with the cOmmunistic element, but in
financial circles they are afraid of him.
/ He can't carry New York under any cir
cumstances. He viii probably carry
Maine and Ohio, two States we don't
want, and he stands a good chance on
the Pacific coast. But he can't carry a
Southern State, and he can't carry West
Virginia, New Jersey, nor Connecticut"
CURTIN THINKS IT STRONG.
Mr.. Curtin says that the ticket nomi-
mated at Chicago was the strongest that
the Republicans could have selected. He
knew Blaine personally, and believed
him to be as able man as the party had
and that he would get as many votes as
any Republican could, but he thought
that the fight would be on strictly party
in n via fbr
Democrats.
Mr.. Post, of Pennsylvania, Secretary of
the Democratic Central Committee, said
that he thought that the ticket was strong
and that it would give the Democrats a
sharp fight.
Mr.. Spriggs, of New York, says that
the Republicans have nominated about as
strong ticket as they could, but it can
not carry New York. He believes that
Mr.. Tilden viii accept the nomination
| from the Democrats. Either Bayard,
! Flower or Cleveland could carry the State
| against Blaine.
| GEN. JOEJOHNsTON's DISSENTING VIEW.
The only dissenting opinion was that of
/ Gen. Joseph e. Johnston, which confirmed
the belief of the Democrats taking the
/ opposite view. He said: 1T is a bad
/ ticket" "WhyP Because" responded
/ the General, sit IS so hard for the Demo-
/ Gratis to beat. 1t is the strongest ticket"
4 he added, ''that the Republicans could
/ have nominated"
Ex-Secretary Gof. Republican, of West
/ Virginia, says that Blaine can carry West
/ Virginia.
Mr.. Brown, of Pennsylvania, says that
/ it is better for the Republican party that
/ the New York Times should go
/ directly over to the Democratic
| party. 1t had for some time
/ been hanging on the outskirts and
misrepresenting the Republicans. 1t was
a free trade paper, and it was infinitely
/ better that it should be directly against
/ Blaine than merely nOminally for him.
/ He said that he thought that Blame could
/ certainly carry New York, and even
/ without it he could be elected.
! A DEMOCRAT WHO PRAYED FOR BLAINE's
/ NOMINATION.
/ Representative Cosgroye, a Democrat,
1 of Missouri, said: E'BIaine cannot carry
/ Missouri. l have been hoping and pray
/ ing that he might be nominated. He is
/ undoubtedly the weakest man who could
! have been nominated. So confident have
/ | been that Blaine could not be elected
/ that 1 offered weeks ago to pay $500 into
/ the Blaine campaign fund if it was ne
/ cessary to nominate him."
/ CAN'T CARRY CALIFORNIA.
Representative Tully, of California,
| said to-day: "ThiS talk about Blaine's
/ popularity on the Pacific coast Is like all
/ the Blaine talk, brag and bluster. He is
/ no stronger than any other Republican.
/ He will not carry California"
Representative Gibson, of West Vir-
! ginia, said: "West Virginia cannot be
carried for Blaine. He is no stronger
than any other Republican in that State.
/ We will beat him by 10000 majority. We
will poll this year the biggest vote we
| ever poled."
VIRGINIA SURELY DEMOCRATIC.
Mr.. OFarrall, Democrat, of Virginia,
said that Blaine would be defeated in Vir-
ginia. He would get the straightOut Re-
publican vote, which Arthur would not
have had, but on the other hand MahOne's
support of him would be but nominal. AS
for Malone, the nomination was his fu-
neral knell. Whether Blaine wins or
loses, Mahone's power is at an end.
SENATOR HARRISON WELL SATISFIED.
INDIANAPOLIS, June I'm an inter-
view to-day Senator Harrison said that be
was we'll pleased with the Republican
nominations. He considered that Blame
had great elements of strength, and that
he is strong with the Irish, and win carry
the Pacific slope, New York and Indiana.
The scandalOus stories against him are
not believed, and his own State approved
him. Garfield gave him his conf
dence in the most conspicuous
manner possible. His foreign policy is
/ approved by everyone, conceding that we
ought to come in closer relations with the
States OF South America and have some
of that immense trade which England
now enjoys. 1t is nonsense, he says, to
think that he would involve us in war,
and the business of the country has moth
ing to fear from him. He is sound on all
the great economic questions. Senator
