THE blaine SENTIMENT.
\ Canvas. OF IL by Local Paper,

CauSAss OF lt ny u Local Paper.
The Lancaster weekly Inquirer OF Satur-
day prints canvass which 1t has made of
thepresidential predictions of seventy five
representative Republicans - politicians,
professional and business men, aud the
result of its interviews is that of the
seventy-fivo persons whose opinions
are given about 81 per cent. are for
Blaine. Edmunds holds the second
place, closely followed by Lincoln and
Arthur, while prefer Logan and one
General Sherman. Eleven have no posi-
tive choice. OF quite a number Edmunds
is second choice /; while six of those who
are for Blaine doubt the expediency of his
nomination, and nine who wore for him
formerly now prefer other candidates. The
Inquirer concludes editorially that while
Blaine is still the choice of plurality Of
the Republicans OF this community il may
be fairly questioned whether q majority
favor him. There is undoubtedly far less
enthusiasm for him than on former coca.
sions, but if nominated he would receive
a cordial support, as would any of the
candidates named

Among the novel opinions are the Soc

elected, and the wish of Al, NJ. Brubaker
that Fremont were few years younger.
j. Hay Brown, one of the 306" pha-
lanx at Chicago, prefers Arthur or Ed,
munds, but says "lf the delegates to
the convention go there determined to
listen to nothing that intervenes between
them and their choice, as We 306 did
in 1880, We may as we'll hold no national
convention"
NJ. Brosius would bs satisfied with
Blaine, Arthur or Edmunds. The only So
licitude he has is that the convention may
select from the material presented the
man who will best harmonic the conflict
ing sentiment in the Republican party in
relation to it's candidate.

Better Take the Money.

An old question In new form comes
up in Philadelphia in the controversy
excited in Presbyterian circles over the
acceptance Of $1,000, rendered to the
Presbyterian hospital from the treasurer
Of the charity ball fund. Reys. Drs.
Mcintosh, Mutchmore and other church
leaders vigorously protest against the
acceptance of any money raised by enter.
tainments of such character, and while
they "disclam any Intention of reflect
ing upon the management or respecta-
bility of the ball itself (which is one
of the most respectable and elegant
affairs of It's kind held in the city-they
maintain that it would be improper and
inconsistent for even hOspi al Of
their church to be aided aud supported
with money raised by fiddle and
dance party" Against this view there
is vigorous opposition not only from
those who hold that hospital is differ

ations, and from those who insist that
the charity ball is not an unchristian
way to raise money, but from some who
