hood afterwards. There is strong
sentiment developing for division, and
it may as we'll be known. Those who
oppose it ought to know it, and be pre-
pared to act accordingly. Those who
want division will be glad to hear the
| news.
AS "a matter of privilege as the con-
gressman calls it, rise to a personal
explanation. 1t has been alleged that
l have been making war upon one N. G.
Ordway. It is false. I have never said
a word against that gentleman, except
to accuse HIM of having brains. It has
appeared in my correspondence that he
was seemingly furnishing brains for a
few democratic malcontents. That is
all. If the distinguished gentleman or
his friends are aggrleyed by the accusa-
ton of brains, let them consider that an
apology is offered
Furthermore, the aforementioned mall
contents having exhausted all OF their.
resources, mental and financial, and
having returned TO their holes, these
columns will not be further ,bnrdened
with descriptions Of their eccentricitIes.
By the way; speaking above OF the
need OF defence by Mr.. Blaine let me
add an item OF importance. The leading
republicans, anti-Blaine senators and
political leaders seem to heve recently
experienced 'rchange of heart" Hon.
Frank Hatton, as the embodiment of
the ants, has recently expressed q will
llngness to support Mr.. Blaine Mr..
Conkling says that he will not oppose
him. Mr.. Edmunds saye that if Mr..
Blaine is again candidate he will sup
port him. tits common talk that the
opposition to the great Maine man has
weakened. They say that there is moth
ing new against the man. 1t has all
been said. The people know everything
that can be known against him, and
nothing new can be said. 1t appears
that Mr.. Blaine wrote personal letter
to Mr.. Conkling, in October 's4 asking
his assistance. He sent that letter to
the managers of the campaign in New
York. to be forwarded. 1t was not sent
to Mr.. Conkling. Result; defeat. Mr..
Blaine meant well, but the party mana
gers did wrong. The greatest leaders
of the republican party are Conkling and
Blaine. Their personsl ennities have
brought defeat to their party. The
breach seems to be healed. That being
the case there will be terrific contest
in IS with the chances streeaassly In favor
of Blaine. just put that down in yeur
political scrapbook. 1t will ks we'll for
both democrats and republicans to make
note OF it. With all his faults, and he
has many, james G.. Blaine is popular.
He would make another good run.
