except those who have permanently g3sa
over on account of the tariff and Who
would not return unless the party should
practically declare against protection. This
class Of men believe that a western repub-
lican Of loyal party record, without per
sonal or fractional enmitieS and not too
high a protectiOnist but more. on the line
of Garfield as to the tariff, should be nom
mated. The present drift of this class
among civilians il, toward Allison, who
will have his own state enthusiastically
for him, if he wants it, who has great
strength all over the west and among the
business interests Of the east and is with
out enmities ia the party and has a tariff
record like that Of Garfield. Among the
soldiers there is an effort to direct the
popular tide toward Sheridan. This is on
the surface just now, but the undertOne is
| strongly towards Gresham, who, different
from many soldiers, seems to be strong in
that peculiar union and fellowship of such
| soldiers as are united in the organized
form of the Grand Army, the Loyal lie
gfon, etc, and who is strong also
with some of the elements of dissatisfied
! republicans in the east, and who is also
strong with the 0nti-mOnOpOly elements
Of the west. If a soldier is to be chosen,
the situation, taking the east and west to-
| gether, prefigures
1 SOLDIER LIKE GRESHAM,
who is strong in peculiar points and
| strong both east and west. The other
class Of republicans, and | should say
! they were greatly in the majority, say
that the situation demands a man who be
cause Of his strength with the working
people and on the tariff question can com
mand more votes than his party now has
left, They hold that in such q candidate
the party would have double assurance Of
success and that such a man alone can
be sure Of carrying New York, New Jer-
"sey and Connecticut. These people are
ali for Blaine and more enthusiastically
than ever. So are the republicans who
favor an emphatic and distincti-ely Amer
lean policy in all things. Blaine has
lost no friends in the west, but rather
gained. In the east he mas gained in
Massachusetts, New Jersey and Come Ell
cut and held his own in New York among
the republicans and materially gained in
that state among the democrats and work
ing men, who are for protection. All
these elements
THINK BLAINE IS TO BE NOMINATED.
Meantime he makes no sign, answers 10
letters and is evidently determined to
leave the whole matter to the party with
ont suggestions from himself or any organ
lied effort being made by his friends"
