What the Republican Revolt Means.


New YORK, Oct. 25.-The revolt against Mr.
Blaine of the stalwart element of the Republican
party in Oneida county was viewed at Republi-
national and state headquarters with the
complacency that has invariably characterized
the bearing of the committeeman where news of
an unpleasant kind has been brought TO their
attention The attitude Of ex-senator Conkling
in the present canvass was the basis for the
opinion that prevailed even at the
beginning of the campaign that the
friends of the ex-senator would sooner
latter unite in antagonism of the party
candidate. Identical with those OF the great
party of independent Republicans throughout
the state are the grounds which the Utica
stalwarts make their protest. These grounds
arc described in the simple statement that Mr..
Blaine is held to be an unfit person for the Office
10 which he aspres. Not to the political ele-
ment distinctiyely do the signers of the protest
belong. They are lawyers, merchants and men
of eminent responsibility in the community,
whose fidelity to the party has hitherto been I'M
questioned, and who are actuated in their course
by the idea that TINY promoting the true in
terests of the Republican organization.
With the friends of Ex-senator Conkling on
one hand and those of the late Secretary Folger
on the other arrayed against him, Mr.. Blaine is
not receiving the kindliest treatment in the
world from the men whose support he would at
time have counted upon. Additions of this
character to the ranks of the Independents have
created gloomy atmosphere at headquarters
and had much to do with forcing the Republican
national committeeman to the conclusion that IL
they expected to win they would have to do SO
without the aid of New York

Elkins when the Utica revolt was called to his
attention to-day When his opinion was asked
concerning it, Mr. Elkins was evidently some

the ntBlaine uprising, ''to bother with such

in the rear of a barn, draw up resolu-
tons, and the opposition newspapers

his attention to party of men who were waiting
to see him.
At the state headquarters in the Gilsey house,
the subject was viewed in a similar light. The
indicators all point that the Republicans are civ
Ing up hope of carrying this state and are placing
all their hope on the Indiana, New Jersey and
Connecticut results. This grows palmer
day by day. This is no doubt
largely due to the Independent
vote, about which much has been said in pre.
Vious dispatches The subject is worth consid-

ents hare grossly equivocated, and they are no,
men given to lying, there are on record enough
Republicans who will vote for Cleveland to carry
this state, even though Tammany casts her full
vote Tor Blaine. Chairman Demming, of the
national committee OF Independents and Repub-
hcans, said to-day that the Republican
