blame of Blaine's nomination upon the
Arthur men. He declared that but for
the persistency of certain Southern
delegations in adhering to the fortunes
of the President, General Sherman
would have been the nominee, OF whom
he said, In nominating Sherman we
would be getting an unknown quantity,
IL il true, but we knew that he was
honest and pure" This In the face of
the fact that General Sherman had per
emptorily declined to be named before
the Convention--had asserted that be
would not accept the nomination II
made, and that he would not serve as
President II elected. Verify indie
pendence, so called. ran mad at Chi

ing the minds Of these self-styled re-
formers In upon what Democrat shall
we unite 10 beat tho Republican party
and install its ancient enemy in the

fess to be Republicans TO be seriously
discussing on the eve of National
