BLAINE’S BOOM?

The Wilmington (Del.) News, the only trorning paper in the State, and Col. Charles R. Rodman, chairman of last year’s Massachusetts Republican State Convention, are two recent bolters from Blaine. The “ongregationalist says: ‘‘Blaine and Logan are identified with what most needs to be eradicated from our politics without distinction io party, and whoever votes for them will do so with his e yes wide open.” People who do not subscribe for the New York Times these days are missing a deal of interesting and valuable reading in the shape of letters approving the stand that journal has taken on the Republican nominations. —Water bury American. we hold it to be a Republican duty, and the first Republican duty, to defeat Mr. Blaine, because in no other way can the corrupt and devinmav-care element of the party be relegated to its proper place in the background—N Y Evening Post As Republicans we cannot support the nomination of our party; and we consid* er it far better that it should be defeated than its past reeord and achiew«ents should be disgraced and destroyed by the election of Blaine and Logan—New Brighton Standard (Rep) The Republic, a prominent -IrishAmeiican journal of Boston, says of Blaine and Logan: “To-day the Repub* lie simply contents itself with declaring them (Blaine and Logan] absolutely unfit for any political honors whatever, and unworthy the support of any man who has a particle of self-i'espect or an iota ol love for his country ” The disaffection in the Republican ranks on account of the nomination of the Blaine and Logan ticket, appears not only all over Connecticut, but all ever the country—especially in the Northern and Middle Slates It is greater than was ever known in the history of the party— The dissatisfaction is so great in Massachusetts that the Springfield Republican has opened a department of “Letters from the Bolters,” and is running it full —Hartford Times colonel J A Price, a prominent Republican and President of the Scranton

[Pa] Board of Trade, says he cannot gup port Blaine for President of the United States Mr Price told a reporter that he regarded Blaine aa the representative of the most vicious element in machine pol itics, and he looked upon the Chicago platfo’m, on which the ‘Plumed Knight’ was nominated, as one of the most insfn* cere and hypocritical documents that ever emenated from a political body making any pretension to decency

Far be it from us to deny Mr Blame’s magnetic attractior , which Las been so fervently dwelt upon'by Bob Ingersol end the Tribune He does exert a strong per sonai influence over men There is unquestionably something about him that draws men to him Fie drew Bob Ingersoll long ago; he drew all the Star-rout-ers; he factnated the worst elements in the Chicago Convention; tie attracts Jay Gould and Russell Sage and Chauncey Depew and all the monopolists ahd railroad jobbers, and finally he fascinates the Tribune, which has all along been the organ of Toryism, clas legislation and monopoly—Bew York World ITo be continued.] Time and place for Congressional Convention—July 22d, at this place. Delegates: Jas, W. Douthlt, Dr. J fct. Loughridge, Esq. James Yeoman, P. E. Davis Austin. On the county Democratic ticket for County Treasurer, Ex-Auditor Ezra C. Nowels is so far the only one spoken of. His well-known fitness and honesty and popularity are urgs ed on all sides, and if nominated we understand will accept. Wash Scott, of Milroy, and William Hoover, of Marion township are being urged by their respective friends for the Democratic nomination for Sheriff of Jasper county.— Honest and capable, either would make splendid, possibly a successful race.

Mr. Adam Hess, of Gillam township, is urged by many frlendsjinfthat and other localities as a very proper candidate for Sheriff on the Democratic ticket. Ad is a first-rate Democrat, a good citizen, and very popular among his acquaintances.
