Carl Schurxs efforts are futile. Even

their high moral character that many Of

Schur1 and Curtis, he thinks, will b

will carry New York by rs, 600 majority.
Republicans who voted for Cleveland
for governor, he says, tell him the same
story.
United States Senator Miller, Of Cali

pondent said there was rot shadow Of
doubt that California, Oregon and Ne
vada would cast their electoral votes for
Blaine and Logan. Mr.. Blaines attitude
on the Chinese question, his solicitude.
for the dignity Of American labor and
his intense Americanism made him ex.

Judge Hoar, of Massachusetts,, in q
speech few days ago, answered the
question, "Who is the republican can
didate for President?" Is follows:
Mr.. Blaine, q republican Journalist,
fearless and true. Thon member of
Congress, prominent in all the party's
councils. When he made his dieniAed
and touching speech in the House, mot
republican in the United States but
said he was among the most Trustworthy
and gallant Of her leaders. Since then
he has been Senator and Secretary of
State. When our murdered President
lay on chat deathbed, our whole country
looked to Mr.. Blaine with honor, con-
fidence and trust. In the past three
Republican conventions Mr.. Blaine has
been leading candidate, If 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 Tilden be subsH-
tuted. The Sun prints the commune
cation double loaded, and at the head
Of q column on tho editorial page. The
letter says: "a vast majority of his
countrymen wanted Tilien. The con-
vention knew it, and should have APP
pealed to Mr.. Tilden's patriotism. Il
would not have been in vain! But il is
too late now to mend the matter. No
it isn't. It never is. Let the Demo-
cratic national committee tell Mr.. Cleve-
land that his nomination was mistake
at any rate, or premature, and he can
not hesitate to retire, for he must zee
that would secure success to the ticket
at once, and great credit to himself.
But would Mr.. Tilden in that event be
persuaded to consent to the use Of his
name2 Mr.. Tilden is q 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: lido not
overstate the matter when Isay that the
best informed here are of the opinion
that Blaine will come ont even with
Cleveland in the city of New York, and
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 a. to the propriety Of
nominating him for the Presidency be-
cause, according to appearances, the
state Of New York was against him. Il
was easy TO say that he could win with
out New York, but it was hard to see
how he could do it, especially If IN the
face of the country New York was sur
rendered in advance. Now there is no
State more confidently ind intelligent.
" claimed for Blaine than New York.
The current Of public judgment and en-
thusiasm is all his way. The incom-
parable laundering of the Democrats at
Chicago has prepared the broad road
for Blaine to the presidency. People are
rapidly falling into the habit of regard
ing him as already elected.
Hooker of Vermont, secretary of the
national, committee, said to q cores
pondent: Everything is oil one way
in Vermont, and we shall have very
easy time in that state. Blaine always
was the favorite there, and every SOL
der is for Logan. There always is
some disafection in presidential years,
however, and the present campaign is
no exception to the rule, but there IL
less detection in Vermont than in 1880,
and since 1876, for that matter"
