TLAINE AND HIS PIUENDS, From Our Special Oorreepancent. WasttxaTon, D, Cy dan, 00,—Mr. Blaine has ‘peenne so prominent aga Presidential enndidate during the Inst ten days that hla frionds aro xet- ting a ttle nervous. Itwould be a misfortune fornny candidate to abtain notear lend inthorace atthls early day. Tho price of prominence Is detraction; and it {8 a moro question of time how fonga candidate for the Presidency can stand tho studied attnoks of all tho otbor candidates, Though it {3 conceded Gon, Grant has an Im- qenso allont strength, which will malo Itself felt at tho proper tine In tho Convention, If heavows himself n candidate, thoro are many politicians here who profess to think that Blaine Is far tho amore likely manof the two to be nominated, One thing Which stands In the way of Grant's nominition is tho doubt as to hls candidacy. Ho surely {8 NOT A CANDIDATE IN THE ORDINARY BENSEY that Is, ho ia not willing to have his nume sub- mitted to the Convention, there to take its chances of shipwreek upon brewkers or a safe juvenuf rest In the Whito House. No such tloubt afliets tho publte mind In regnrd tu Mr. Blaine. He was tn tho Cinciunatl Convention, and he will bo In the Chivago Convention, to tnke hiachances, ‘This meh Js positives he will be aoandidate whether Grant, or John Sherman, or the Devil runs against hin or not,; There js something cuptivating to the people in this bold, ehivatrous, and contident appen! to thom for sympathy and support as agalnat all. comers, There js much in ngsuming to bo strom with the people, and Blaine always assumes this, Thero js much also in having tho actuul: following which his own oyes have witnessed in nearly every part of tho North. Those are hls sources of strength, and thoy do very well while he fs In tho field.” Hut ff,1s bas. been jntimated, his power should soon seem to overshadow that of Grant, he would no longor bo in “the field." He would bo the favorit. Tho political Jockeys would be after him,the whole force of his op- ponents, in full ery, kecking to wear him out, or crowd bln, or “ break hfs heart," as tho turf re- porters sny, before he should got to tho home~ stretch. {t really is A DANGEROUS THING TO NB IN THR LEAD eomany months before tho Conyention meets, Mr, Waine's wisest friends see this, and they ure doing nothing ut present to accelerate: the movement on hia behulf, Thoy wish to huve ft understood that ho fs taking no deep interest in that his tno hus been fully occu. pled with othor matters, and that ho will, leave the people to tuke cure of his interests. The Sherinan and Grant men do nat, howover, view oll tho proceedings In Pennsylvania and Mo with entire qu we. Their mutterings funinst Blaine have been romurkably common of late, They seem to be nuereed that ho Is tho anost dungerous man fu the fleld to tho Intorcsta of their respective candidates, A Grant nian with whom f was apenking frecly the othor day intimated that the Blaine movo-~ ment in Pennsylvania wasn't quite as spon: tuneous as it appeared to be, He added that he thought thore was a é BUAINE LITERARY BUREAU Jn existence In this city, nnd that the whole ma- ehinery of it might some day bo exposed to the publio view. ‘Though T know fram other sources: Unit Benator laine has no direct {Interest tn the Bureau in question, and only has ita support us he might bnye thut of the most ropntable news- per in the land, it seems wise to anticipate tho: Intended * exposure,” and ny nll tho facts fairl vefore the public for the frst time in tho col- Uning of Tite TUNE, I ex bily Aen how the great metropolitan journals wet thelr correspondence from Wash- jngtan, But everybody does not know how the rural press grappl 8 with tho National intelll- gence.

THE PARTY LEADVRS LARGELY IN FAVOR OF QUANT—HLAINE THE SECOND CHOICR, New Yovk Tribune, ‘Talks with active politicians from elty and country make lt pretty evident that a very cone siderable proportion, and probably a majority, of tha mon who shape tho action of the Repib- Mean purty of the Btate nf New York in {ts local conventions favor tho nominntion of Gon. Grant, ‘These mon rose to prominence, for the moat part, during the olght yonrs of Grant's Ad- amintatention, and thoir attachment tohim ns tho head of tho party during tho period of Its great- cat powers has not abated sinco ho went out of ofiico, His return to tho White House would menn to them a restoration of dircet and friend- ly relntions between the working politicians of tho Stato and tho National Administration, and return to the policy of preserving the Republican, party In tho South by tho vigorous enforcement. of the Constitutional Amendinents, and of consolidating the northorn wing by a judictous uso of the appointing power. Thoy bollove, he- sides, that tho olcction of Grant would give stability to business, and would put a atop. to such revolutionary schemes of tho Democracy as that Just frustrated In Muine. That these nen represent a very lurge body of Republican voters there can bo no doubt. Thoy belong to tho politicn! muachltic, it Is true, but they aro mutch too mopaclols to try to run the machine off tho tracks of public sentiment. Tho Grant men in New York may be divided into two classes: One element fs so strongly wedded to tho dex of returning bim to tho White- House thut it takes no uccount of opposi- tion, und wants tosccure his nominntion {f(t can bo obtalned by only n bare majority of the Chi- vago Convention, ‘These men are, to use tholr own words, for Grant frat, Inst, and ull tho time. The othor clement comprises men who belleve he ts much the most popular eandldute fn tho fleld, but who are rendy ut all ‘umes to stop and discuss the question of expe- dieney, If wstrong opposition to bis candidacy should develop within the party, if tho expected whirlwind of Grant enthusinsm should not arise and sweep awry all competiturs in the Conyen- tlon, they would bu cxutlous about reaaiiig him through ton nomination by tho votes of States which could not elect him. Men of this class nro n good deal troubled of Inte by the attitude of tho Pennsylvania Republicans, whom they had counted on ns sure for Grant. Tho frat cluas wants to have the Now York Convention Instruct its delogntes for Grant; the socond thinks it would be more prudent to make up a trust- worthy delegation of men whu will voto solid) under tho lead of the recognized party chicfs and lot thom go without instractions, Neithor alement recognizes the possibility of the New York Convention being othorwise than overwheliningly In favor of Grant's candidacy, One entertains no doubt that tho ex-President. wil accept the nomination, and belloves in dis- regurding all opposition to tho third term within tho purty, while the othor fs not cortuln on tho first. polut, and thinks the second should be carefully considercd, ‘The second choico of ninc-tenths of tho Grant. mien seomstu be Mr. Blaine, Tuoy think ho would make 1 strong, thorough-going Republic- an Administration, and would not turn the cold shoulder to tho men who had held the udder for hin to mountto power, Hels universally pop- ulgr among them, and thelr only reason for not mauling bln their firat cholec ty that thoy lke Grunt still better, or think bim more likely to win thorace. This unexpected kindly fecllny of tho Grant mon for Blaine undoubtedly pre- vents tho antl-Grant sentient from concen- trating upon hin, Mostof tho outspoken antl-tnird-term poli- tlelans express n preference for Sherman, In this cluss are found most of tho men who bubit- ually tight the muching und nearly al who re- fused to vote for Mr, Cornell last full, Tho Sher+ mnn clement fs much more numero, however, than the untl-machine wing of tho purty. Tt ine cludes, besldes, uconsiderable numbor of solld busiiess and professional men identified with the dominant Repubilean cloment inthe State, who believe tho greatest uchicvement of the party since tho Rebellion was crushed was the reautnption of specie payments, and think tho aan who enrrled the country Barely Sart ah to sound monoy should te honored with the Presi- doney, [t {a hot strong enough among tho work- ing politicluns, however, to make much showlng fu tho State Convention, ‘A current prediction about the complexion of the Btute Convention fs that if Grant's uttitude is not chany before it inects by some declari- tion from him, three-fourths of tho delegutes will bo Grant inon and tho other fourth will be divided between Blaine aud Sherman in the pro~ portion of two or three to one.
