REPUBLICAN, POLITICS.

! Postn aster Robertson Of Troy and
Collector Robertson of New York re-
signed from the Republican state exacu-'
tive committee SO as not to engage ID
raising money for political purposes,

T think there is greater motive on
the part Of the Republican party to
carry out the principles of c,yil-seryice
reform than on the part of the Demo
cratic party, because the Republicans
are already in. While ! believe
Cleveland to be politically honest, his
election would be putting the Gov
eminent not III the hands Of man, but
in the hands of "a party which, as Curtis
Says is hungry and thirsty" L think
it would be unfortunate for the cond1-
ton of the country to have such whole
sale change. William g.

Secretary Mcpherson says that re-
ports from New York Indicate that the
publication Of the ':Cleveland scan dali
has given the Independents q chill, from
which they can never entirely recover.
Carl schurz's efforts are futile. EVEN
the furnace of the investigation COM
nittee cannot restore their normal
warmth" he says. $50 vote with the
democrats would b., 50 inconsistent with
their high moral character that many OF
them are seeking the best mea2s OF get
ting out Of the difficulty quietly.
Schurz and Curtis, he thinks, will be
soon without a following, and Blaine
will carry New York by Is, 900 majority.
Republicans who voted for Cleveland
for governor, he says, tell him the same
story.
United States Senator Miller, Of Cali
fornia, in an interview with q cores
pondcnt said there was rot a shadow Of
doubt that California, Oregon and Ne
vada would cast their electoral votes for
Blaine and Logan. Mr.. Blaine's attitude
on the Chinese Question, his solicitUde
for the dignity of American labor and
his intense AmerlcaDism made him ex-
ceedingly popular III the Pacific States.
Charlestown Is. c.. Mercury. There
is no doubt whatever that the Republ-
can standard bearers viii sweep the
country by an immense majority, much
greater than even Abraham Lincoln re-
cieved. It is very doubtful wheth-
er Cleveland can carry single North
err State, and the Western States will
wheel into line for Blaine and Logan,
low taxation and constitutional liberty.
OF the Southern States, North Carolina,
West Virginia, Florida and Soutl, Car
DINA are overwhelmingly in favor OF
Blaine and Logan. The 10000 white
independent Democrats OF cur State,
thoroughly Disguised with the iron rule
of an oligarchy and in favor Of a +, ee
ballot and q free count, as against the
barricades used throughout tbs State,
at elections, for defeating "a govern
ment by the people" will unite solidly
with Jealous support OF Blaine and
Logan. There will be a great triumph
OF their electors by a majority never ex-
ceeded in South Carolina
Judge Hoar, OF Massachusetts, in d
speech a few days ago, answered the
question, "Who is the republican can
didate for President" az follows:
Mr. Blaine, a republican journalist,
fearless and true. Then d member of
Congress. prominent in all the party's
councils. When he made his djgn;iied
and touching speech in the House. not
a. republican in the United States but
said he WAS among themes trustworthy
and gallant Of her leaders. Since then
he has been Senator and Secretary of
State. When our murdered President
lay on that deathbed, our whole country
looked to Mr.. Blaine with honor, con-
fdence and trust III the past three
Republican conventions Mr.. Blaine has
been a leading candidate, ii not the
leading candidate. Defeated twice, he
has always accepted the result faithfully
and given his best service to make the
party triumphant.
A correspondent from Saratoga writes
the New York Sun urging that Cleve-
land withdraw aud Tflden be snbsti-
tuted. The Sun prints The communi-
cation double loaded. and at Tie head
Of column on the editorial page. The
letter says: "A vast ,najo, ity Of his
osuntrymen wanted Tillen. The con
vention knew it, and should have ap-
pealed to Mr.. Tilden's patriotism 1t
would not have been in vain But it is
too late now to mend the matter. No
it isn't. 1t never is. Let the Demo-
cratic national committee tell Mr.. Cleve-
land that his nomination was mistake
at any rate, OF premature, and he cam
not hesitate to retire, for he must see
that would secure success to the ticket
at once, and great credit to himself.
But would Mr. Tiiden in that event be
persuaded to consent to the use Of his
name? Mr.. Tilden is patriot as we'll
statesman. He would do anything to
serve his country.
Mr.. Murat Halstead, of the Cincin.
natl Commercial Gazette, telegraphs
from New York as follows: do not
oyerstate the matter when Isay that the
best informed here are Of the opinion
that Blaine viii come ont even with
Cleveland in the city Of New York, aud
that he will have an unparalleled ma
jority in the country. Reports from
the strong Republican counties are that
they will all give increased majorities.
Some Of Blaine's friends two months
ago hesitated as to the propriety of
nominating him for the Presidency be-
cause, according to appearances, the
state Of New York was against him. 1T
was easy to say that he could win with

how he could do it, especially if III the
