A great many people who we're sure
that Mr.. Blaine could not be elected three
weeks ago have changed their mind. The
Boston Heraids New York correspondent
believes that Blaine can carry New York
against any democrat except Tilden, and l
don't feel confident that Tilden can carry the
State against Blaine. because the rural dis
tricts are permeated with foolish sentiment
about Garfield, and it is utterly impossible
to take from that potent ghost its influence
and reputation"
Representative Horr, of Michigan,
saws: The trouble with the bulk of this
independent movement, is right here they
live and act on proclivities. We act on
conviction. You know the difference, don't
you? A proclivity amt worth anything when
there is anything to be done; those who
have them are always upon the fence trying
to point the way 10 people, but never
striking blows in behalf Of the accomplish
ment Of the great work.
Senator Hear is just back from Massa-
chusetts. He tells me that the outlook
there is not so dubious as has been repre-
sented. In the shoe manufacturing towns
and the cities like Lowell, Worcester and
Lawrence he thinks the Republicans will
gain enough votes TO offset the independent
detection. The latter IS chiefly confined to
Boston and suburban towns. Gov. Long,
Gov. Robinson and Henry Cabot Lodge
will Join with Senator Hoar in helping to
carry the State. met Gov. Long the 9TH
err night getting together materials for his
campaign speech. He is now a strict party
man, though in 1872 he voted for Greeley.
But he has come TO see that the Democ-
racy offers little hope Of decent govern
ment, and acts accordingly. Lodge was a
Tilden man in 1876. but he is as s,aunch
as any one w.-Wdshiagton letter 10

MIR. Blaine may be strong with the
people of the United States, but the New
York Erning Post has shown that all Eng
land is against him, and the New York Her
aid publishes advices indicating that he will
not carry Mexico, Guatemala, Spain, Chill
or Patagonia. The Sandwich Islands even
are doubtful and look hopefully for the nom-
ination of Gov. Cleveland through the
efforts of New York importers and Boston
holders Of Mexican railway securities

The so-called independents of Boston
are ready to open every American port 10
England, and manifest an anxiety TO break
down every domestic interest for the sake OF
giving British manufacturers possession OF
our home markets. The citizens of old
Boston were loyal to the land of their birth,
and ready to defend it against foreign or
domestic foes. The independents hold
themselves to be patriots par excellence,
and yet they are ready to strike hands with
the old copperhead, secession enemies of the
Union for the sake of imposing a destructive
policy on the country. Once the anger OF
Boston burned against the slave oiigarch,
OF the South. but the dudes Of independent
ism are ready TO unite with the ex-rebels in
striking down the only barrier which lies be-
tween the negro race and its reinstatement.
OF course, Boston is not wholly given over
TO the power of these men, but they are a
blot on ser fair name. If Boston would
maintain her oldtime character, she mus,
overthrow and cast out such base politicians
Who if left undis,urbed. will turn her glor,
into shame and make her name a word Of
reproach Ciereland Leader
