WARRINGTON LETTER
fro our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON, June LIST, 1855.

The talk of Washington is Nr
Blaine's letter TO Whitelaw Reid
editor of the New York Tribune
positively stating that he Will no
: accept the nomination under any cir
cums;ances. just which one of the
many candidates will be most bene
fitted by the withdrawal of Mr.
Blaine. is asked on every hand, all
OF them will probably get some oi
the strength thus scattered, but the
great question is, which one will get
enough of il TO nominate him. Dit
gent inquiry among Senators and
Representatives who are known to
have been in favor o. nominatny
Blaine, fails to give any idea of wlo
these gentlemen will now support !;
they refuse to say, contenting them
selves with saying that the nominee
must be a man who can carry New
York. My own idea is that the
Blaine men have been, so to speak,
c-stricken, by this last letter,
and are waiting until they can get
their thinking apparatus in good
working order before expressing an
opinion. A week hence the politica!
horizon ia this vicinity will in all
probability be clear enough to get a
better observation than is possible
at the present time.
Cleveland has started boom for
ex-senator Thurman OF Ohio, as his
running mate on the Democratic
ticket, and if the objections OF Judge
Thurman can be overcome, he is
certain to be nominated, as the
Democrats dare not refuse to do the
bidding of their master, Cleveland.
Having the fisheries treaty dis
cussed in open sessions OF the Senate,
is decided Republican victory.
The discussion was opened by Sena-
tor Frye, of Maine, in one of the
strongest kind of speeches. which
was listened to with GREATNESS in !
terest by crowded galleries. In con-
Gliding, Mr.. Frye said; "a year !
ago, in the United States Senate /
and House OF Representatives. We
were all for the rights of American
we were united to a man.
dreamed OF raising polit-
zeal issue in this matter. Nobody
talked as party man in relation to
it. And where are we to-day? The
President of the United States TAX
ing, practically the Canadian side of
this controversy; the Secretary of
state, practically, taking the Cana
dian side of this controversy; the
great Democratic party of the whole
nation arrayed on the side of Canada
and against the American fisher
man. l cay to you, Mr.. President,
that most grievous wrong has been
wrought by this treaty making. L
say that these steps which have
been taken can never be retraced;
hat in the long future we shall
iever be permitted to stand where
We stood only one year ago; when
VIC claimed, here in the Senate, that
We would defend the rights OF Amer
can fishermen against Great Bri-
ain or any other power on earth
We have surrendered that right.
We have yielded il. We have said
through the President o! the Unit I
ID States) in solemn language that q
he treaty is just and fair, and all e
hat could be demanded by us; and
ereafter, and forever, our mouths n
re closed. Again l declare that L
his treaty is dishonorable humiii-
ting and cowardly surrender" At P
ne conclusion OF Mr.. Frye's speech e
he treaty was laid aside until June a
1, to give the Democratic Senators N
n opportunity to attend the st.
ouis convention.
The Senate has sed a bill to
,viye the grade OF General of the u,
nited States Army, i'll order that f.
eneral Sheridan, should he be for nj
mate enough to recover from his al
resent illness, might occupy the ta
me position that Grant and Sher- 40
