James Gillespie Blaine and
Black Jack Logan will bead the n

campaign. We have heretofore
remarked that Blaine is the lead

ability will not be questioned and
no man in the government is bet

He is a sharp, werv politician an
well illustrates what was said of

gave up to party, what was meant

will be defeated, it is duo to con
mon candor to say, that if we an

The Republican National Con
vention assembled in Ch’cago on
the 3rd iasi. to nominate a candi -
date for President and Vice Presi
dent. It was a unique gathering
of the stalwarts and halt breeds,
carpet bager and offic* bolder

dudes, lobbyists, beggars o i hoi se

but a small portion of the horde

ax to grind.
The building could accomodate
13 thousand, and yet the crowd ,
that hung around the doors and
Oiled the stres s must have num-|
bered two or three times that num
ber of howling partizans, with

Blaine and Arthur were the
leaders whose names elicited
storms of applause when mention
ed. The others were left in the
back ground and nursed tLeir lit
tle strength hoping for some
wind-fall that might brmg luck to
them.
The first quostion that was like
ly to test the strength of the as
pirants was ihe temporary organi
zation, this was regarded as of
sufficient importance to make an
issue on, aad both sides wanted
to feel of iheir strength.
THE NEGRO ON TOP
Powell Clayton, a one aimed ex
Union soldier from Ark., was put
forward by thoßlaine men for Tern
porary Chairman. This was inter.,
ded for a compliment to thejfiouth
and the carpet j,bng element-
The anti Blaine men|agreed to com
bine against the Blaine crowd and
if possible give him a b ack eye
at the outset. To accomplish this
t hey put in nomination John R.
Lynch of Mississippi, uot only a
color ad man, but an old fashioned
negro. Upon counting it appear
ed that Lynch was elected by the
the following vote :
Lynch 431
Clayton 387
The defeat by the Arthur and
Edmunds men of Blain’scandidate
was regarded as a great victory
and was received with rounds of
t pplaose. Lynch was escorted to
he ch'tir, aud made a ( very s< risi
ble speech, and so far as appears,
conducted himself with becoming
modesty dnriDg the shirt time he
wielded the gavel.
But the temporary defeat only
added fuel to the flames, and the
Blaise men wlto carried t ie enthu
siasm of the convention, and the
ou side crowd determined to rally
for a death struggle. It was evi
dent that he was entitled *o the
nomination for if the rotton bor
ougu delegates who did not rep
resent a single electorial vote, Lad
bsentlirown out ho would havebeen
nominated o n the first ballot. E
ery mention of his name brought
down the house in long continued
applause
Ex-Senator, John B. Henderson
of Missouri, was made permanent
chairman and a platform was adopt
ed. This platform takes strong
ground in favor of a hig’u protec -
tive tariff, but the other planks are
after the old line, made io catch
votes.
Both sides skertnished around
on the ballot question, the Blaine
men would not cement to go into
a ballot unless there were at least
more than one, while the opposi
tion wanted to take one ballot and
then adjourn until next day io
get their breath. The adjourn
ment was defeated and the b.filet
ordered with the following result:

Blaine was steadily gaining ou
each ballot aadas it became|evideut
that the “plumed kr.ight” had the
iriide track there was a terrible
1 chattering of teeth and smiting of
knees among the bread and butler
brigade. They were afraid to de
sert dieir boss lest ilioy lose Iheir
place now, and yet when Blein
comes tn they felt that the Land of
the avenger would Ire upon them.
So they stuck.
Gen Logan telegrnphed his
friends to go to Blaine, and when
the fourth ballot was called it was
felt that the die was cast and
that Blaine had fairly won the ,
rice and would be the neminee.
On the fourth ballot Blame ro- 1
ceived 541, one hundred more than
was necessary to nominato him,
and the convention went off into
the wildest scene of confusion.
Genl ,/ohn A. Logan of Illinois
was nominaied for Vice President
on the first ballot.
It was deemed necessary 'o place
a military man on the ticke', and
Logan was selected as a concession \
to the stalwart element led by !
Grant, Ooukling and the present
administration.
We copy below 6hoit biogra,.h
ical notes of the candidates:
James G Blai :e of Maine, the lead
ing candidate for president, was
born in Washington couDty, Pa.,
January 31. 1830. He graduated
from Wabington college in 1847, I
taught school for several years and i
in 1854 went to Kenebec, Maine, j
v her* he became the editor of ths
Kenebec Journal. As an elegant 1
and powerful speaker be had al
risdj gained prominence, when in
1358 he was chosen a member of
the Ma.ne legislature. He went
as a represenative to congress,
fivat. in 1862 ; was made speaker
of the house in 1869, and did not
lay down the|gavel until 1875, when
the democratic majority elected
Sarnael J. Randall, his successor.
The ensuring year be received the
higest number of votes on the
opening ballot for president in the
national republican convention, at
Ciucinnatti, which fiually nomina
ted Mr. Hays. Apointed the sue*
cessor of i*he dead se sutor Morrill
of Maine, in 1879. Mr. Blaine was
again a popular presidential caedi
date in 1880, receiving 282 votes
or the first ballot.
John A. Logan,'the senior senator
from Illaois, was born on a farm in
southern Illinois, about fifty eight
years ago. He received a common
school was elected
r-eunty clerk when he was siarce
!y out of his teens. He enlis
ted as a private in the war with
Mexico, and left the army a quar
te master. He then studied and
practiced law, but, his aptitude for
politics rea»serting it-elf, he be
came a member of the Illinois leg
islature in 1852, and again ’n 1856
having served one term as pro e ut
ing attorney in the meantime.
He was a presidential elector in
1856. and then went to congress,
serving continuously until the out
break ofj tke'civil war. Enteiirg
the army ns colonel he attained
the runk as Major-general. in
1865 he was appointed minister
to Mexico but declined. He was
elected to the fortieth ' and forty
first congresses, and in 1871 was
chosen to succeed Hon. Richard
Yates in the nnred state* stnate.
Alter serving’one 'ertn he return
ed to his law practise but was ag
ain sent to the senate in 1879.
WILL TIMM S ACCEPT?
We are in the midst of a most
remarkable canvass. The Repub
licans have put their ticket in the
field, and it is useless to disguise
the fact that it is a strong ticket.
They have nominated two leaders,
one from the Last and the other
from the West, and their campaign
opens with unprecedented enthusi
asm.
\\ hat is the Democracy doing ?
With a majority of the popular
vote on our side, and a large ma
jority in the Souse of Representa
tives, and with encouraging pros
pvete for success this fall, we find
our leaders divided aud bickering
at Washington over the tariff que«
tion, and the country, within a
month of the Democratic nomina
tion entirely at sea, as to the can
didate who will lead us to victory.
It is not unusual for the party to
be divided as te the most available
man, this is natural, and it bege s
investigation, discussion, compari
son of views, and when the conven
tion atsfeuroies the public mind is
turned to two or three leaders
wiiO»e merits aDd availability b»Ve
been cauvassed and an intelligent
decisi >u is made.
But in less than thirty da the
party must stake the issues : , in
the strength of one man. If -,, e
aiake a mistake the country v. i.l
floULdar along under Republic u
rule as it has done for I wenty-four
years; if we succeed new men,
with now methods, will come it.to
power. The horde of leeches who
have bled the Treasury and fatten
ed on their own corruption will
be sent to the rear, and reform
will be die watchword from Maine
to California.
Who is to bo our leader ? is a
question that will present itself to
the country until the nomination
Is mad# It would seem from the
indications that the public mind
is turned to the old ticket as the
only hope of sm-cess. Other
HfuiH.-s are tnentioiied, B&y&rd,
Cleveland, Flower, McDonald, Oar
lyle, Heweit, ami a dozen others,
yet none of them seems to have
touched die chord of populsraffec
tien uni confidence like the old
ticket.
When we propose to discuss this
ticket, we are met on the threshold
with ihe question, Will Tilden ac
cept * There is no doubt that e
then of the others will accept, and j
therefore their claims can be legit
imately discussed, but the uncer
tainty that hangs like a cloud over
the intention of the man th whom \
a majority look, is perplexing, snd i
will breed confusion. Admitting
that he .s the first choice of the
party, his refusal to speak or even
intimate bis willingness to make j
the race, leavss us at sea.
The claims of otherb areignored !
until this qnestion is settled. And
we present ihe spectacleof a great I
army, dis lganized upen the eve
of a great battle, that is to decide
the destiny of a nation, waiting to ;
k»ow whether a certain comman
der is to lead us. This very uu- !
certainty will disorganize or for
ces, unnerve the men and place us
at a disadvantage.
We do not believe tha Tilden j
will accept. And the best evidence j
is the fact that ia the State of New i
York, where bis views are beat,
known, there is now going on a
Kilkeny fight between* Cleveland
and Flower to secure the delega
tion from that State. Both of
these men are Tilden's friends, and
if they did not know that he was
out of the race, they would not
bs making such gigantic efforts to
control the vote of their own State
in their own interest.
Be/ow we copy the moiit reli*
ble information that has yet smina
ted from Tildeu on this subject,
and it but confirms the suspicion
that his long »il«ne# was for a pur
povo :
Washington, June 4.— There is
now every reason to be] eve that
Tilden will not accspt the nomina
tion of the Demoeratict conven
tion. Represent!tive Dorsheimer
of New York, having Leard the
contradictory statement of Con
gressmen who huve been calling
on Tilden this spring as to Til
dew’s intentions in regard to the
nomination, determined to asser
tain exactly what Tilden propos
ed to do. Through Charles A.
Dana he learned that Tildeu would
not be a candidate before tkoDeiu
ocriatic convention. This infor
mation Mr. Dorsheimer has con
veyed to his Democratic friends in
the Senate and House. The res
ult is a very gemral expression of
sentiment by bo h Stmtora and
members in favor of the nomina
tion of Bayard. Bayard and Me
Donald is the ti ket aud most gen
erally named. In his letter to Mr.
Dana, asking him to see Mr Ders
shfcitner said that the Democratic
party was suffering through the
general uncertainty as to Mr. Til
den’s int ntions. The partr, be
said, was drifting to and fro, rud
de.iess and befogged, at a time
when it was necessary to go for
ward confidently. He begged Mr
Dana for the party’s sake, to see
Mr. Tilden, show him t ;e evil ef
fects of the present unccrtanty.uid
urge him te declare himself. Last
Friday Dorsheimer went to New
York, saw Mr. Dana. The later
reported that he had visited Til
den and had submitted to him all
the arguments presented in Mr-
Dorsluimer’s letter.
After listening patiently Mr
Tilden replied that lie bad not wa
vend an instant in his purpose to
forbid the use of bis name. He
then showed to Mr. Dana a letter
written by himself in which in
terms most positive, emphatic and
unequivocal, he not OQly refuses
the use of his name, but declaims
that he would not accept the nom
ination if tendered him, and that
he would not be a candidate un
der any circumstances. “I wrote
that letter,” said Mr. Tilden, “lo
Mr. Dana, in substance, two
months ago, with the intention of
making it public then, but’ they
persuaded nm to withhold it for a
time, and 1 shall now have it read
in the State Democratic conven
tion, on the 18th of June.” In
speaking of ‘ithey” Mr. Tilden re
ferred to Messrs. Bigelow, Man
ning and several other Democrat
ic politicians who held very close
relations with him. He said that
they had some purposes to sub
serve which would have been in
jured by the immediate publica
ti nos the letter, and as he, per
i Bonai ly, did not care for a little de
| lay, lie consented to withhold it
until the meeting of the State
! convention. Mr. Dai a assured
Mr. Dorshe mer that Le saw and
read Mr. Tilden’e letter, and that
there was no question of Mr. Til
den's perfect sincerity—that he is
, not and will not be a candidate
under any consideration. The
purpose to bo subserved on the
l>art of Mr. Manning and other
Tilden advisers, is believed to be
substitution of Cleveland in Til
den’s place. Flower; is regarded
here as out of the race.

This is the explanation of a De
troit wife in the Free Press of that
city: “I saw in your paper the
other day an account of a divoice
suit brought by me. I wish you
would say in your next issue that
I done it in a moment of haste and
passion. He etruck me with a
hammer, bu» it wai a tank ham
mer. My own temper is bad and
perhaps I deserved it.”
Edmunds and Blaine run off
from Washington during the ses- !
sion of the Convention. They
wanted to get off in a corner to
brace up their nerves with a pri
vate drink.
H. W.J. Ham, the coriespoc
| dent of the Eagle, gives the follow
ing Description of Henry G. Tur
ner's speech in congress :
No man in this congress Las
made as much reputation on cne
speech as did Mr. Turner the otli
*r day on his argument in the
Wallace-McKinley contested elec
tion case. Judge Hanney of the
Boston bar who makes SIOO,OOO n
year by his law practice, at d is
conceded 'lie ablest constitutional
lawyer on 1 heßepublican si le, was
putforwardby the minority tom nke
the legal arguineut for McKinley
To say that Mr. Turner anttila
ted him is to put it mildly. / have
never seSD any thing like it. .Tbi-i
pale, quiet impassive Gtoigian
sat stolid and apparently iedifl'er
ent under ths invective and ingen
ious argument of the gieat Mass
achusetts Jurist, mit,l when he
had finished he arose and shook
himself as a lion coming from his
lair to punish a catamount who
had ai n ye 1 with his liowlirg, at d
falling upon him in a frousy of in
vective, scareasm logic and elo
quence, he rendered him hip *u.d
thigh, with a ‘merciless wi'betug
overwhelming argument that pro
duced *|jpeifect stoim of applause
on the floor and in the galleries.
/7e eveu turned Judge Run-ley's
own gnus upon him and proved
that lie had deduced false conclu
sions from the authorities which
he had quoted. Mr. Turner sus
tained fbe repert of his committee
not only against the ablest leaders
among the Republicans, but fight
ing as well in the ranks of his own
pary such men »s Frank Hurd,
and Mills of Texas, and Robertson
of Kentucky all of whom made
speeches in favor of McKinley.
Nevertheless Mr. Turner carried
the House with him and McKin
ley was unseated by a vote of 158
to 108. It was 9 grand victory,,
and made me proud that he wan e
Georgian.
A fotirteen year old cowboy was
driving a steer through Norfolk
Neb., the other day. It got scar
ed aud dashed through the back
door of a saloon and out at ihe
front on a dead run, followed by
the daring boy on ill pony. As
the steer passed through he jump
ed clear over a table, around
which were four me.i engaged in
playing a friendly game of whisi.
VVheu the men saw Hie boy follow
ing the steer they dodged under
the table, which made the pony's
passage easy in leaping over the
table. Fortunately the doors
were wide enough in both rear
and front to make a good place
of entrance and exit foi the fright
ened steer.
The Washington correspondent
of the Richmond Dispa'ch writes :
Governor, Brown I hear, has fre
quently said that the safest poli
cy, would be for the South to say to
the repretent lives of New Jer
sey, New York, Connecticut, Ohio,
Indiana, California and (Neva
da, meet togetlierand care'udy cot »
sider upon what platform yon can
carry your St. tea for the Demo
cratic presidential ticket, and we
go with yeu. His idea was that
every issue is subordinate to the
great one of cairying the election
in November, and thereby placing
the Seuth on an equality in the
g. vernment with other stetions.”
Gen. VVoolford, Democratic rep
resentave frem Kentucky, who
was a 1 niou man, delivered the
oration at, Arlington. He said if
there had beeu no prayers, no
men, no votes for the nation’* de
fense save those called in party
parlance Republican the flag would
have gone down.
