the Stratagem. :
The Republicans and indepen
dent Republicans of the Morth are
howling over the nomination of
Blaine. They are also suggesting
the Dem ocratic candidate who can
beat him. |
~ We think we have heard a good
deal of just such talk. The Repub
| licans know they have a hard fight
to make, and now they are trying
to get the Demcerats off of Tilden
and Hendrix and have nominated
in their place Cleveland, a free
frader, and Carlisle, a southerner
and free-trader. We venture the
agsertion that that all those how
lers about Blaine’s nomination will
'be his best supporters, and will be
itfie first to go to the polls o vote
for him. Now, the idea of their se
lecting the free-trade candidates
;for.flm‘ Democrats to nom_inate,;
saying abthe same vime that they
would support him, when these
";ery fellows adopted a protective
tariff at Chicago, is redicuously
absurd. The Democrats should
select their best men to represent
the denioeracy against Blaine and
Logan, and go to work and elect
them. If thereis a split in the Re
publican party, the fight will be ea
sier, and if not, they will have the
best fiian atrayed to run the race.
Tilden can carry New York and
Hendrix can carry Indiana, and
with these two states, together with
New Jersey and the Southern
states, the Democrats will surely
succéed. It 1s quite probable that
every schenie and trick will be re
sorted to keep the old ticket from
being nominated, and they will not
leave one stone unturned to break
the rolid South.
Bl .ine and Logan. ‘
The National Republican Con
vention at Chicago adjourned last
Friday, having nomindted Blaine
on the 4th ballot for the presiden
cy and Legan for viee The bal
lots are as follows:
First ballot—Blaine, 334%; Ar

he Chicage Convention. |
The Chicige convention which]
was in gessiorn last week nominated
the Hon, J. G. Blaine, of Augusta,
Maing, on the 4th Dballot. Blaine
received over 500 votes, and Arthur!
only a little ovér 200. The nomina
tion of Blamne had “eaused a big
fuss in the Arthur; Edmunds, in-;
dependent radical camp. There is a:
very strong talk of that party try-:
ing to namé the democratic nom
inee; if they can’t succeed in that
they will put out an independent
republican ticket. The Massachu
setts republicans have held & meet
ing snd declared in a body that;
they will support Blaine;- and a
number of republican and inde
dent papers have so declared. The
leading papers of N. Y, Chicago
and Boston on ths republican and
independent republican side have
declared they will not support
Blaine. : Py . '
The democrats should not let
the split in the republican camp
make them teel that the victory is
won, but they should buoy up and
work the harder and they should
look -well to the strorigest man—
the man who can carry N, Y. Tu
diatia, Ohio &e. e :
‘We think the “old ticket,” Tilden
and Hendiix, should be nominat
ed. if they will accept, und if they
will not -aceept. it, Bayard and
Flower would be a good ticket.
CORRESPONDENCE
Dra’ etown. =
Epiton BanN ri—News-of gen
eral interest is gtill very searce in
this vicinity. -k
We have had _benutiful
showers of rain for the last few
days, and crops and vegetable gen=
erally ate beginning to show quite
a growing appearance,
Harvesting of wheathas com
menced to some extent, and the
wheat cropin this section will
generally be hafvested during this
and next week. Wheat in fnis vi
cinity is gencrally very good where
it is thick enough on the land. The
oal crop is likely to result some
better than was anticipated two
weeks ago, Where the land is good
or moderately productive, the oat
crop will generally get high ériough
to be harvested. &
We can’t boast of having loast
ing ears as yet, but we.occagional
ly have a dish of Iris,li,‘.;potatoes
and beans# and néw, That the re”
freshing showers of rain have be

Success to the Baskstn, M.
Mg. EpiTor :~I am no contribu
tor to your paper, nor indeed fto
any other, but the strange and sin
gular manner in which the pro
ceedings of the Den.ocratic conven
tion werd conductedrlast week, not
only .¢urprised me, but the occa
sioh was a source of congiderable!
amusgement sot o e
I will mention one instance to
establish my point. It was pro
posed to elect an executive com
mittee, and instead of ¢lecting it
SERIATIM, the: chairman -of
the committee was. first. chosen,
‘and then afterwards cach member.
I always thought it was customary.
hetretofore for the committee to ap
point its own president or chair
mat. This is the rule adopted by
the State’s Executive committee,
as in.the case :of Capt. Jackson,
who has been, until recently, the
chairman of said committee. :
In running my eye aver yester
day’'s:body I thought thete were
present old ‘and ¢xpetienced
debaters, and really ¢an’h:under
stand why this and other egregi
ous irers Were committed. T
thought to~ it was the duty of the
chairman to correct sitch mistakes,
but in this instance there zeeied
to be some direstion of duty. True,
some younger heads would fre-
fuently be seen seémingjm
ious to control the movements of
the convention, but their ignfi'uficé‘
of "parliumentary rules soon con
vinced those present that they
need experience.
I have waitten thiz from pure
motives, and beg to he excused
this time. . M. AF.
