tically than ever. So are the Republi-
cans who favor an emphatic and dis
tinctively American policy in all things.
Blaine has lost no friends in the West,
but rather gained. In the East he has
gained in Massachusetts. New Jersey
and Connecticut, and held his own in
New York among Republicans. and
materially gained in that state among
Democrats and workingmen who are
for protection. All these elements
think Blaine is to be nominated. Mean
time he makes no sign, answers no let
tiers, and is evidently determined to
leave the whole matter to the party,
without suggestions from himself or any
organized effort being made by his
friends"
THE PLATFORM.
lone more thing" Mr.. Clarkson
added. ''is the apparent purpose Of
the party to make such platform as
will, without change from its former
position or principles, accept the war
issues as settled, and leave the way
open for all men who are with it in
the South on present issues to join with:
it for the future. There is Republican
majority in two or three of the border
states, on such a platform. and also a
chance if the party shall not sectional
ize the tariff question by taking the
tariff off sugar to carry Louisiana at
the state election in April, and thus
break the solid South before the national
campaign has really opened. With
Yarmouth as candidate, representing
in himself as sugar planter, the tariff
interests of Louisiana and the bitter fight
between the McEnery and Nicholl
Democrats, and two United States SEN
ators to elect there next winter, there is
an opportunity for Republican union
with the tariff, and McEnery Demo
Gratis can be utilized to carry that state.
In regard to the appointment of ser
geant- alarms for the national cOnven-
ton, Gen. FitZsimmons, who was chosen,
was Union soldier of gallant record,
and in every respect is as fit for the po-
Sition OH account of his war record as
Col. Healy. The committee meant no
disrespect to the Veterans club. They
expect that Gen. FitZSimmOns will ap-
point large number of Union soldiers
among his subordinates, and also that
he will recognize many of the young
Republicans, who are now the fighting
force of the party, and give them gen
erous recognition in these honors as
well as the Grand Army veterans"
