The New York Post Sharply Criti-
cised.

The following was sent to the New ork
York Evening Post for publication, but not
appearing in the columns of that paper, was
sen, TO the Tribune in whose columns we
fnd it.
To the Editor of The Erentng Post.
SIR: MY agent in New York has sent me
copy of your paper of April 26th coutain-
ing an advertisement / authorized him to pnt
in, and have been reading your comments
on Mr.. Phelps letter in reply to your attacks
on Mr.. Blaine. One of the first points you
make against Mr.. Blaine's veracity is in his
statement THAT the Little Rock Road de-
rived all that it had from the State of Arkan-
sas and not from Congress. 1t was in the dis
cretion Of Congress to give or withhold from
the State, but it was solely within the dis
cretion of the State to give or withhold from
the little Rock Railroad Company" Your
comment on this is that Mr.. Blaine's ''letters
revealed the amazing fact that it was not
true." that the franchises and securities of
the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad had
no value unless the land grant to the State,
etc.
Mr. Blaine had stated that it was in the
power of Congress to give or withhold from
the State and then it was in the discretion of
the State to give or withhold from the rail-
road. Don't you see that in your attempt to
brazen out your falsehoods against Mr.. Blaine
you have "given yourself away" in this case?
He said the grant was from Congress to the
State; you say the same, and yet you say he
told falsehood.
If these newspaper articles had to be
signed by the writer it would be great COM
fort to some of us. because we would know
which man in the Office we could look at as
liar" As business man, don't feel it my
duty to have any business dealings with a
paper conducted by men who will act as dis
honorably as you are acting.

causes is occasioned by humor in the stom-
ach. Several cases, with all the character
istics of these complaints, have been cured
by Hoods Sarsaparilla. Other cures effected
bv this medicine are so wonderful that the

proof that il combines rare curative agents

Speaker Carlisle is reported as saying
that one of the lessons Of the disaster il
that the Southern and Western States will
insist on controlling the nomination of the

Eastern man can hope to be placed at the

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
sees a streak of fun in the Phelps-Ed-
munds business. 1t says: I'VE do not
see that Mr.. Phelps has attacked Senator
Edmunds. The supernaturalists in our
politics were presenting Edmunds as the
most wonderful case of all the virtues since
Washington, and even holding him up as
much better than any of the rest of our
statesmen, some of whom had even dab
bled in railroad enterprises. 1t never
seemed to have occurred to the New York
delegstes-at-large. for instance. that Mr..
Edmunds had been interested in railroad
securities. But it appears he did not go
~ far as Iowa to find an investment. and
the case is shockingly parallel to Blaine's
venture in Arkansas. And Edmunds no,
only bought this Iowa stock and sold it,
but bought stock again and holds it now.

The Republicans of the State met in
congressional district conventions on last
Thursday week, and except in the Third
district, nominated candidates for Con-
gress. In the First district convention,
which met at Cambridge, Mr. George NJ
Kussum, of Caroline county, received the
nomination on the first ballot. The Sec
ond district convention met at Waverly,
Baltimore county, and on call of coun-
ties Col. Thaddeus G. Blair received the
unanimous vote of the district. The Third
district convention met and adjourned
after appointing committee to decide
whether a nomination should be made
In this district it is the hope of the Re-
to form fusion, but from good authority
it is understood that the Democrats are
all united and solid. The Fourth district
convention nominated William J. Hooper
on the first ballot. He has since positive
ly declined the nomination. The Fifth
dist let convention met at Laurel, and the
nomination was forced upon the Hon. H.
B. Holton, he receiving it by acclamation
He has not yet signified his intention of
accepting the honor his constituents are
so eager to push upon him. The Sixth
district convention met at Cumberland
and renominated Hon. Louis Z. McComas
without opposition.

The New York Herald has been making
careful inquiries Of well informed persons
as to the political prospects in several of
the most important S ates East and West,
and the result may be briefly summarized.
In Ohio the Democrats are fairly sure OF
success; Indiana will certainly 90 for Cleve-
land by at least 10000; Michigan will be
lost to the Blaine ticket; The chances are
strongly in favor of Iowa casting its vote
for Cleye' and in Wisconsin the Demo
Gratis believe they can carry the State; 1t
is thought that with faithful, hard work
Massachusetts can be carried for Cleveland;
Vermont will cast very greatly reduced
Republican majority in November; Con
necticut is regarded as a doubtful State,
with the chances in favor of the Demo
cras, and New York and New jersey APP
pear to be safe for Cleveland The HfraH
concludes: "a survey Of the field at this
moment gives promise of tidal wave"
in November against the Blaine ticket
From all quarters reports come to us of
very large and increasing Republican OPP
position to the B 'aine ticket, and a much
smaller detection from the Democratic
ranks than was at one time feared There
is, according to our reports, a spirit and
determination Ibis fall among TIE voters
everywhere which promise very important
results "a determination to make a change,
and to see whether the people still control
or whether the ''machine" politicians real
ly have the country by he throat"
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser., 1884-09-05

1t is stated that the Republican Nation
al Committee is really in very bad way
fer money and management. The appoint
ment OF Jones to be Chairman of the com
mittee has, it is said, turned out to be
miserable failure. He has but a slight
acquaintance with leading Republicans
and does not, it is asserted, understand his
duties at all. He was selected by Mr.
Blaine because it was supposed that he
would give 100000 to the campaign, but
it seems that he had done nothing of the
kind. After making small gilt, equiva-
lent to other members of the committee, it
became necessary to raise $4,000 further,
and when Jones was appealed to he coolly
informed the committee that he would let
them have the money on a well-indorsed
note. Not day passes that prominent
men are not driven away from the Repub-
lican Headquarters from the lack of any
proper person to receive them. There
seems to be no head nor tail to the party
management.
