- lno DeInOCTdCS OF UTSG hdlue ulStT1cG
chose Cleveland delegates to Chicago.
The Mississippi State Democratic Con-
vention voted down q resolution favoring a

- The impression prevails that if Blaine
of Maine be elected President, Jay Gould
will help him to run the governmental ma
chine.
The Texas Democratic State Convention
endorsed the old ticket, but declared in
favor of Thurman for the Presidency in case
of Tilden's declination.
- Daniel H. Chamberlain has written
a strong letter in the New York Times in
opposition to the election Of Blaine. He
says that he will do all that lies in his pow
er to defeat the ticket.
The New York Sun, Mr.. TiIden's speci-
al organ, comes out flat footed for Bayard
as the Presidential nominee with Ben. F.
Butler as second choice. But it says the
party would have a good showing with
either Cleveland or Flower"
Hon. John r. Henderson, president OF
the Chicago convention, says it will require
very hard work and discreet management
to elect Blaine and Logan, that the reform
element in the convention was disgusted
with the nomination of Blaine, and that
disgust was intensified by following it up
with the nomination of Logan.
- The Boston advertiser, Republican, says,
speaking of the nomination of Blaine: 1--WE
have, then, nothing to retract and nothing
to modify. With unabated devotion to the
great purposes for which the Republican
party was organized and has been main
tanned, we declare our inability to support
the nomination, either in the present as
pect of the political field or in any which

The Boston Herald, Independent, says: !:
"Believing that Mr.. Blaine would be bad
and dangerous President, we hope to see
him defeated. Believing him to be a
weak candidate, we expect to see him de-
feated. If the Democrats rise to the occa-
sion, nominate Governor Cleveland and
give him an honest support in his own
State, we believe they will carry the elec-
tion."
- The Springfield (Mass.) Republican, a
Republican paper, thinks the nomination
of Blaine gives the Democratic party a great
opportunity It says: "The Republican
party, dazzled with the qualities that please
the mob, have placed this man in nomina-
ton, thereby giving to the Democratic par
ty the greatest opportunity it has ever had
to recover power by nominating some clean,
able, safe and progressive statesman like
Grover Cleveland or Thomas +. Bayard.
A conference of colored men from vari-
GUS States will be held in New York city
in few days to decide upon political action
to be taken by them in the coming Pres
idential campaign. Very many OF them
the National Democratic Convention and
say that they are ready to support any equal
rights Democrat whom the National Con-
vention may nominate. All OF them are
unalterably opposed to Blaine.
The New York Times, a Republican anti
Blaine paper, in leading editorial, favors
Gov. Cleveland, of New York, as the DEM
ocratic candidate for President, with Sena-
tor Bayard as strong second choice. The
Times thinks either of these gentlemen
would draw largely from the Republican
and independent vote. The New York
Evening Post also strongly indorses Govern
or Cleveland as the most available man the
Democrats can present.
The New York Evening Post of Satur-
day says: "Various statements having
been made as the probable course of Har-
per's Weekly in regard to the nomination
of Blaine and Logan, reporter OF the
Evening Post to-day visited the publishing
tain, if possible, an authorized statement on
the subject. In reply to an inquiry a repre-
sentative of the house made the statement,
by authority, that Harper's Weekly will op-
pose the Chicago nominations; that the
decision to that effect was reached by the
members of the house unanimosly, and the
pen of Mr.. George William Curtis and the
pencil Of Mr.. Thomas Mast will be exerted
in support of this course.
The New York Herald says: "a prom
inent Ranuhlican pOlitician who is excellent
authority upon the subject, said that neith-
er Gen. Grant nor Mr.. Conkling, would do
anything to support Blaine in the coming
election. He said that General Grant want
ed Logan nominated for the Presidency,
and had made up his mind not to oppose
Blaine, but to remain neutral. Mr.: Conk-
ling, he said, had accomplished his only
desire by defeating Arthur, and would not
assist Blaine by word or act. "Both .Conk-
ling and Grant," he said, '.regard Blaine's
defeat as certain" He said that the lnde-
pendent Republicans who bolted the ticket
would probably support Tilden, if nomina-
ted, and if not Flower"
