morning, looking somewhat bored and per-
haps melancholy over their Chicago expert
ences. Little knots gathered here and there,
discussing the situation and explaining why's
and wherefores. But the enthusiasm and
clamor which marked Blaine's canvass in
Chicago has not apparently found respon-
sive echo in and about the federal city.
Logan was the recipient of many hearty con-
gratulations which were received with
8 puzzled look, as if he was
entirely satisfied that commiseration would
have been far more appropriate, if not equal
ly welcome. Blaine's immediate supporters
in the senate and house put on their best at
tire and endeavored to wreathe their faces
with amiable and confident smiles. They
We're not at all arrogant in their demeanor
toward Arthur, Edmunds, Sherman, and
Hawley men, but tipped them the wink in a
good humored way as if to say now's your
time to catch onto the Blaine triumphal car.
The swagger and swashbucklering which
have generally been distinguishing marks of
Blaine's following are notably absent
just now, and there is evident desire to
beat swords into plowshares and spears
into pruning hooks, to the end that all Re-
publicans shall sit under the Blaine vine and
hg tree with none to make them afraid. The
motley crew which when Blaine made his
exodus from the cabinet followed him into
the cave of Adullama, distressed, discomfort
ed and in despair, are now rezvi0Gs. They
have emerged from their hiding and Adulama
is occupied by such independents and re
formers as George William Curtis, the Hoars,
of Massachusetts,, Carl Schurz and gentle
men of like kidney. Political debt, distress
and discomfort have been transferred to
them, and Blaine's admirers, although jubi
liant over their triumphs, are much concerned
lest others be enticed into the ranks of In
dependents and swell the number of Adulla-
mites. And their name is legion. Blaine
men say it is too soon to form any estimate
of public opinion and that the present muir
mers of discomfort are only the grand swell
from the swift passage of the convention
through the political waters. Naturally
many are disappointed at the result
but when the fever of dissatisfaction
shall be refreshed by the zephyrs of
reason and the gentle breezes of party
unity, the angry waves will be subdued
and resume their wonted calm Then and
not till then can reason assume her
sway, and the Plumed Knight " in full
panoply lead the Republican column to glo-
rious victory over the predatory enemy.
Much interest was displayed in scanning
New York papers arriving at the capital at
noon. Every copy was quickly bought up,
and all faces were buried in the columns of
the Times, World, San, Tribune and Herald.
- Ill
the New York papers but the Tribune were
bitterly hostile to Blaine, and that the Demo-
crat nominees bid fair to derive a large sup
port from the Republican and independent
vote in New York and elsewhere.
The Times prints in addition to
scathing editorials three columns of commu-
nications, all revolving against the Republi-
can nominations. Among them is one from
ex-Goy. Chamberlain, formerly of South
Carolina, in which he says:
Blaine represents well the party which has
nominated him and the candidate is fully as
good as the platform. Nothing can induce
me to support either. To ask support for
such a candidate, party or platform is an in
suit to any honest man or Republican. The
Goths are in Rome at least. The Malone
star-route- te-robbing Blaine element has captur-
ed the party which inspired my youth
and commanded my ardent allegiance
till now. These hucksters do not know the
pang it gives the Republican who has followed
Garrison, Sumner Andrews and Lincoln to
find himself thrust out. But there is no
choice for me. l am not a politician, but d
citizen, and L will do all that lies in my
power to defeat this ticket; no other result
could be so fatal as its success. Let the Times

will follow, large enough itself to bring de-
feat on this disgraceful result-in the candi-
date and platform of once honest and hon
orable party"
Other equally denunciatory letters are
headed, ''Will have none of him. ''Give
them clean party;'' ''What shall young
voters do?" ''Repeat the lesson of 1882
(meaning Folger's defeat ga true Repub-
lican's duty;n 'sNew ticket oemanded;' y
''Time for a new party;'' ''Defeat will purify
the party;'' "a thoroughly bad ticket;'
''Unload the filthy cargo;n "Will bolt the
nomination - 1.-The nomination disgrace;' y
''The better element outraged" ''Cannot
vote for Blaine;n ''Give us a new party
and the like. This makes Blaine men fee
very anxious, although they affect to deride
the influence of the Times
The Herald publishes interviews with lead
ing members of the business committee, re-
turned from Chicago. They talk despond-
ingly. While they will vote for Blaine they
announce their intention to button theil
pockets against all contributions for cam
paign purposes. Commenting thereon the
Herald says:
We print some interviews with members Of
the business mems committee returned from
Chicago. The general opinion among them
is that the prospects of the Republican presi-
dental ticket in the state of New York are
not brilliant and that the work of the financ &C
committee which will have Mr.. Blaine's and
Mr.. Logan's canvass in charge will be more
difficult than usual, or, as one gentleman
expressed it. s'the nominations mean none,
In his pocket"
Congressman Dingley, of Maine, did no
think the rebellion against Blaine woult
affect the ticket, 1t would gain half dozen
Democratic votes where it would lose on,
Republican, and good Republicans wer
thankful for this bolt. He thought the Inde
pendents would put another ticket in th,
field but that would help Blaine, he said.
Ex-Gov. Long, of Massachusetts was sur

position of certain Massachusetts Republic
cans rendered his opinion of special Yalu
