The cause of the strike was a refusal of the Western Union and other companies to accede to the demand of the operators for an advancement and re-adjustment of salaries. The operators’ desks from Maine to California were abandoned promptly at the word'from the Executive Committee of the Brotherhood, the men walking away in a quiet and orderly manner. In large measure the places of the regular operators were at once filled, either by persons in the employ of the company who had risen from the operators’ ranks to positions of greater responsibility, or by men who had been secured m anticipation of the strike. The Boston office was the most badly crippled on the line of the Western Union Company, being entirely cut off from communication with New York. The press was furnished with its usual quantity of news, though the commercial world suffered much on account of the inability to secure telegraphic service with the leading financial and commercial centers In New York 800 operators went on the strike, in Chicago 750, and in other cities the number, was proportionately as large. There was no violence or disorder of any sort upon the part of the strikers.

THE PRESIDENCY.

YwWoMifareweep# the \ T Pom cehMo^ron. The Cndliates Whe Are Most Papular with the People. The Sew York Timet publishes a very 00mprehenslve forecast of the Presidential campaign. It covers seven and a half pages of that paper, and presents all aaadee of opinion. Early in June toe Timet sent letters to over 400 potato in toe thirty-eight. States, asking answers to the following: questions: ... L Who is most frequently spoken of by Bepublicans in vour vicinity as their first choice for Presidential candidate in 1884? 21 What other names are mentioned? & Who is most frequently mentioned by Democrats in your neighborhood as their first choice for Presidential candidate in 1884? 4 What other names are mentioned, in about what order as indicating their popularity? The Timet says that answers have been received from 844 of these points, toe number varying from forty-four in New York to one in Nevada, or an average of nine frozol each State. The attempt has been made to obtain the preferences of the people—the voters—rather than the choice of the workers of political machinery. The information has been gathered by trustworthy mat of both parties, whose Interests oblige then! to keep thoroughly Informed on political matters, and their reports show that they have made personal canvasses In order to present the drift of opinion. That they have given as they found ft is proved by the fact that in many instances the showing was not in accord with their own personal preferences. The result as given may be trusted, therefore, as accurately outlining the present desires of toe members of the two great parties The attention of the Republican party la now directed toward toe following Presidential candidates, forty-one in number: Adams, Charles Fran- Hawley, Connecticut, cis,Jr.,Massachusetts. Hoyt, Pennsylvania. Allison, lowa. Hasson, lowa. Arthur, New York. Lincoln, Illinois. Blaine, Maine. Logan, Illinois. Conger, Michigan. Low, S:th, New York. Conkling, New York. MacVeagh, Wayne* Pa. Crook, Gen. Geo., Ohio. Miller, Samuel F„ lowa. Cullom, Illinois. Oglesby, Illinois. Davls. David, Illinois. Phelps, Wm. Walter,N.J. Edmunds, Vermont Porter, Indiana. E varts. New York. PottAv. a. , New Jersey. Fairchild, Wisconsin. Rau»; Illinois. Foraker, Ohie. Seward, Clarence, N. Y. Foster, Ohio. Sheridan, P. H., Ohio. FTelinghnysen, N. J. Sherman, John, Ohio. Grant, New York. Sherman. Gen. W.T.,Ohla Gresham, Indiana. Teller, Colorado. Hale, Maine. Washbume, Illinois. Halsey, New Jersey. Wilson, James F., lowa. Harrison, Indiana. Windom, Minnesota, 1 Of these eighteen are mentioned in varp ous sections of the thirty-eight States a# the first choice of the Republicans MJw Blaine, however, Is ahead and shoulders id front of toe others, being named as to# preference at 104 or nearly one-third of to# number of points where a choice is exj» pressed. Apart from Ids own State he find# most favor In toe Middle and Western States, nearly all the great Republicad States, and his strength is probably greater than is tons Indicated, as in many instance# a preference la expressed for others in th# belief that he will not enter the raoe.. President Arthns is next in strength, and his friends are pretty evenly distributed throughout the country, and the favorabl# feeling toward him is almost everywher# reported as increasing constantly. In th# South the office-holders are noted as of course in his interest It is clearly shown in the letters from the South that a larg# part of, or indeed, the entire vote of that part of toe codnteK. will be cast in to# National Chester A. Arthur There is no reasonable donbt to be entertained at present that the 366 votes of too old slave-holding States will be given to th# present incumbent of the Presidential chain Mr. Blaine and every other candidate must face this solid fact

Third in the contest is Mr. Edmunds, and not muoh behind Mr. Arthur. His strengtn also is very evenly distributed in the diffeS ent States, and the expression in his favor perhaps more than in any other case appeal* .tq be spontaneous and due entirely to his merits He isjflM'larer, indeed, as a second choice than a»l Cr “k , - i 4'eads the other candidates whenmrf Btanc 'Von is considered. These three the voice of 224 X of the 324 pldS&rwhich express S preference—Blaine 103, Arthur 64, Edmunds 57 Robert T. Lincoln stands pre-eminently among the new candidates, only three, Gem Grant, John Sherman and Gen Logan corn! ing between him and the leaders He iS everywhere kindly spoken of, and his abilS ty and honored name make him regarded as a good man for the office. The tv of his se ection 1b rarely left out of the discussions. The following of all the gentlemen after the three leaders is small, ana in some case# merely the expressions of complimentary wishes for the aspirants. The number of aspirants for the Democratic nomination is forty, and their name* are as follows: Bayard, Delaware. Kelly, New York. Black, Pennsylvania. McClellan, New JerseyBrown, Georgia. McDonald, Indiana. Bnfler, Massachusetts. Morrison, Illinois. Carlisle, Kentucky. Niblaok, Indiana. Cleveland, New York. Palmer, Illinois. Cox, New York. Parker, New Jersey. Dana, New York. Pattison, Pennsylvania. Davis David, Illinois. Payne, Ohio. Eaton, Connecticut. Pendleton, Ohio. English, Indiana. Randall, Pennsylvania. Field, California. Randolph, New Jersey. Flower, New York. Thurman, Ohio. Hancock, New York. Tilden, New York. Harrison, Illinois. Trumbull, Illinois. Hendricks, Indiana. Trunkey, Pennsylvania. Hewitt, New York. Vilas, Wisconsin. Hoadley, Ohio. Voorhees, Indiana. Holman, Indiana. Wallaoe, Pennsylvania, Jewett. New York. Whitbeck, Wm. F., HE Eighteen of these stand forth as claimant* of first choice. Samuel J. Tilden leads hi* party even more markedly than Blaine lead# in the Repnblloan feeling. Two-fifths of the points reporting award Sim first choice McDonald comes next to Tilden, 72J$ Soints to the latter's 120. Geographically le Eastern, Middle and extreme Western States alone disfavor him, and In these he le displaced mainly by Butler, Bayard anq Thurman. He makes a very strong showing as second choice. Apparently he is looked upon as the next best man to Tilden. Bayard has a meagre following, 3134 points, and apparently a hopeless one, jud«2 mg from the talk of his admirers. WitN most of them his candidacy has become a. treasured sentiment, a quadrennial sacrifice at the altar of friendship The aggressive Butler comes next- Massachusetts sustains him, and that iB about all there is of him. Thurman has a very modest support, and the field follows:
