This section Of the country has under

For the benefit Of the democratic
brethren who are so highly clated on
account of the split in the republican
ranks, it might he stated that there
was fully as much OF warfare be
tween the adhcrcnts Of James G.
Blaine and the stalwart friends Of
Ulysses s. Grant prior to the nomina-
tlou and election of Garfield in 1881.
The Blaine adhercnts were great hero
worshippers, as are the admirers ~

ana bitter fight lasting n week at the
Chicago convention before Garfield
was finally nominated. 1t will be re-
membered that Garfield cleaned up
good on the democrats that year, red
as they were, by the popular soldier
hero, Hancock the superb. In this
coming Chicago convention some one
strong man may dominate who will
bc elected as easily as was Garfield,
so that it is well to not be too sure,
and we have a pretty good idea who
