A dispatch from Washington says: 1t
1 rather surprising to note the unamity
d sentiment among the politicians Of
I'll parties, who float occasionally to
Washington from all sections of the
country at this season, that James G.
Blaine holds the Republican Presidential
nomination firmly in the hollow OF his
hand. Democrats, Republicans, Farm
en- Alliance men, and Mugwumps all
unite in the opinion that Blaine Is the
bgmaR OF the Republican party, and
hat he can lave the nomination next
summer without the asking. There are,
d course, prominent Republicans,
chiefly office holders, who are now and
then heard to predict that President
harrison can get his denomination even
should Blaine desire to run, but the i'd
ninistratiOn men are few. Blaine's old
tneiriends and ardent admirers who
