The Great Republican Statesman.

Mr. Blaine is a great statesman.
There's no doubt about it. he once
called Mr.. Conkling turkey cock. He
allowed the For. Smith Railroad Com.
pany to sneak its land stealing bill
through Congress. He destroyed the
Mulligan letters, that would have shown
his connection with that job. He "slosh.
ed around" quite frantically in q good
many bloody shirt debates with the Con.
federa,e brigediers in Congress, whom he
never intertered with in the field. He
wrote some pretty savage letters to the
British Government about canal that
we didn't have and are not likely to get.
He tried TO push the swiudling claims OF
an adYenturer against little, crippled
South American Republic. He egged
Garfield into row with Conkling, and
he has lately written an unreliable polit.
ical history. Il anything more needed
to prove that Mr.. Blaine is great states.

Governor Chamberlain's Views.

Ertrqci, fron Tie .Netc lork Tals, Jun> Q.
II tie Editor Of Tie Ne,c York 7Tn,e,::
The Tribune this morning reports Gen.
F. e. Barlow as saying there will be no
bolt Of the Independents" and the pa
pers quote Mr. F. W. Hollis as saying,
"Gh, yes, t= viii go III and suppoI, the
candidate" Mes,rs. Curtis, Roosevelt
and White are reported as hesitating
whether 10 support Blaine or not. When
such men turn back or halt think it ia
precisely the time for those who have
teeu homes, aud earnest in the IGdepen-
dent Republican movement to speak.
Therefore ! wish 10 say in the Tmet that
ail! not support Blaine under any pos
sbic inducement On the contrary, it is
the clear duty Of every patriot 10 make
the defeat OF the Chicago ,icke, the su-
preme aim OF all his political activity.
| hare no hesitation, have had none,
am sure | shall have none, in following
the seli.respecting. honest and noble
example Of the IImes. which, in my
judgment. is the finest example Of true
journalistic independence which l can
recall.
But Blaine represents we'll the party
which has nominated him, aud the c1ndi-
date is .futiy az good as the pbttorm.
Nothing eau induce me To support either.
To ask support for such candidate, par.
t., or platform, is an insult to any honest
man or Republican. All me. "The
Goths are in Rome" at last. The Ma
hone route jobbing- Blaine element
has captured the party which inspired
my youth and has commanded my ardent
allegiance till now. These hucksters do
not know the pang it gives a Republican
who has followed Garrison, Sumner,
Andrew and Lincoln to 6nd himself
thrust out Of that party. But there is no
choice for ME. am not politician, but
am citizen, and l will do all that lies
in my power TO defeat the ticket. No
other result can be so fatal as its success.
Let the Times lead the way, and force
of true Republicans will follow, large
enough, believe, to bring defeat on this
disgracefu' result, in candidate and plat
form, of a once honest and honorable
party.

An old Man shot at a Picnic.

A party Of Cleaveland County people
had picnic at Cleaveland Springs, last
Friday, which turned out badly for one
Of the number. Mr.. David Mauncy, an
old gentleman aged 20 years, was acci.
denlly shot and painfully wounded. One
Of the young men in the party went to
jump across branch, and as he did 30 q
pistol dropped from his hip pocket. The
hammer struck q rock, causing the
weapon to explode. The bullet struck a
pocket book in Mr.. Mauncy's pocket and
glancing entered his leg, where at last
accounts, it still remained embedded.
The young man who goes to a picnic
with a pistol in his pocket, generally
succeeds in making things sad around
him. Charlotte Observer, June Is.

Looking up old Land Titles.

1t was recently stated by the Columbia
Register that gentleman from Germany
had gone to Oconec County to establish
rights 10 an :mmenae body cE lard, the
titles 10 which run back TO 1890. Over
thousand persons are now in possession
Of these lands, and they can only be
ousted after long litigation. The Pick
ems Sentinel, in referring to this matter,
says:
"The claimants to this land came over
to this place from Walhalla and exam.
ined the records here, but failing TO find
what they wanted they went to Ander.
son Courthouse in company with NJ. F.
Ansel, Esq, rs theiI attorney, to exam.
inc the records of o. Pendleton District.
It is said that the grant commences at
the mouth of Oolenoy Creek and runs
westward, south of the creek, taking in
oil the fine bottom lands OF the Oolenoy
valley. This old grant has been heard Of
before. and about 1880 it ia said there
was considerable excitement about it,
We do NOT know whether the present
owners of these lands are in danger of
losing them or not, but it looks little
singular to us that foreigner should
come in now and oust them after it has
been purchased, cultivated and the taxes
paid on 1t by our native population for
nearly hundred years.

Two Talking Democrats.

CHICAGO, ILL, June 16.-Two dele.
gates from the far, South to the National
Democratic Convention are at the Pacific
Hotel. They are Capt. G. A. Johnston,
of Columbus, and NJ. 3. Barker, of Macon,
Miss. Capt. Johnston says tho delegates
from Miss. have been elected, and that
they will come to Chicago unpledged.
Bayard, he says, is very favorably regard
ed by the Southern Democrats, but he
has no stronger hold upon them than
Mcdonald has. In regard to the Repub.
lican boast that the States of North Caro-
lima, Florida and West Virginia can be
carried for Blaine and Logan, Mr.. Bar.
ker says they cannot carry any one OF
them. Florida ia the most doubtful of
the three, and it will be carried by the
Democrats this year, and North Carolina
and West Virginia are certain. Any
Democratic nominee Is certain of carry
ing the solid South this year. Capt.
Johnston said tie negroes would not vote,
that they were not coerced by intimida.
tion or driven from the polls, but that
they had simply quit voting.

The effort to pu, Carlisle on the Dem.
ocratic ticket ought no, to succeed for
several reasons. The first ard most
serious is that Mr. Carlisle is a Southern
man, and this fact would, without any
other reason, insure the defeat Of the
ticket. The next, and nearly as conc!u-
siye @ reason, is that the nomination Of
Mr. Carlisle would make the tariff the
lea ling issue in the canvass, which would
also iusure defeat. We should not by
any means reopen the Congressional bit.
tcrness OF last spring in the nominating
Convention. Tariff reduction is an i'm
portent matter and should be distinctly
and pointedly made, but j. should no.
predominate. The great desideratum at
this time is governmental reform. Upon
it with proper candidates We can win,
and upon no other do we stand one par
ticle OF chance for SUCCESS Mr. Carlisle's
name on the ticket would give it no
special strength in any doubtful State.
1t would be the part Of wisdom 10 get
away from the bitterness Of the tariff
fight and present to the country all Of
the live issues OF the day with men
about whom no bitterness is ar:ayed.

Cleveland and Hoadley, the Governors
of the two largest doubtful States. are the
most available candidates for the Demo.
cratic party a. this junc!ure, it strikes us,
throughout the Union. Governor CIeYe-
land carried New York two years ago by
s. plurality Of over 10000 votes, and
that at time when the State govern
mcnt was in the hands Of the Repubi-
cans. He has made most excellent
Governor, though he is by no means 50
phenominally popular now in New York
as he was at the last election. This has
come from his decided and thoroughly
independent course as Governor. He is,
however. solidIy popular in New York,
and can carry that State, If any Demo
crat can do 30. Governor Hoadley like
wise was elected Governor of Ohio in q
very exciting canvass, and is the first
Democrat who has been Governor Of
Ohio during presidential election since
the war. He is very popular, and while
he might not be able to carry his State,
he would certainly make very close
contest, with chances in his favor, so that
the Republicans would be compelled to
make most desperate fight to hold the
State, and could not therefore conccn.
trate ON New York. With this ticket
Cleveland and Hoadlcy-we can win
this race. il it can be done with any Of
the candidates now being discussed.

candidate has bean taken away from the
Democratic party. Mr.. Tilden, however,
places his declinntion upon such grounds
that the party could not rightly expect
or ask him to run. He Is out Of the
question now, because he wishes to be
out from worthy and laudable motives.
His public career lis forever closed, and
Samuel Jones Tilden stands before the
world to-day as one Of the grandest char.
acters in all the annals OF history. He
has only thrice accepted office. Once in
his city, once in his State and once in his
country. In each Of the two first in
stances he was called to high positions to
oirect great abuses, and In them he has
carved out fame as one of the great
political reformers of his age. In the
last instance he was called by the suffra.
ges Of 9 majority Of his countrymen to
the same great work In the general gov
erpment, but was defrauded out of the
thigheat office in the gift of the people.
That fraud has become the greatest blot
upon The history Of our country. In Il
he displayed the patriot, abjurlng bis own
'aggrandizement for the peace and pros.
perity Of his country. After, eight years
the man who was the recipient of that
fraud has passed into contempt, and TO a
certain extent obscurity, while Mr.. iii.
