Simce tbe receipt of Blaine's letter lbs Republicans of Pennsylvania are looking towards Mr. George W. Childs, of Philadelphia, as tbe best mu for President. Mr. Childs is distinguished for bis great business enterprise,as well as bis great private worth as a citizen. His many deeds of charity and benevolence would Bake him a strong candidate with tbe people and Pennsylvania will likely present him to tbe Convention. OTIS in Laurence coonty there are two candidates for Congress and two for tbe State Benate nomination in that Senate district, to-wit: Hon. George W. McCrscken, editor of tbe Guardian and E. 8. Durban, Esq, editor of tbe Courant. Either Mr Durban or Mr. McCrscken would nab a good State Senator, and one of them of conree will be nominated, but both cannot be, as it is as diffi cult to put two editors in one and tbe same place as almost soy other kind of men. Election of Delegates. At a meeting of the Republican County Committee of Lawreoce Co, held last Saturday, tbe subject of the proper method of electing tbe Coo giussional and National Delegates, in this Congressional district, under the mode, if ratified by Mercer County, - name op for consideration- The Law rsnce Committee took tbe same view of the subject as thaC generally taken In this Coanty. Tney decided that in each snb district, as laid out by tbe County Committee, there should bo two delegates elected, one to ac' in tbe district Congressional delegate Convention and one to act in tbe dis trict National delegate Contention In other word#, that there should be 000 separate delegate for each of those matters, aud that they should be kept toparata and distinct from tbe other. There are good reasons why tbe same delegate should not be required to nerve io both said district Conven tions. There would be a temptation to trading if one deUga'e served in botb,tbat will not be if separate dele gates are eboeen for each Convention. Each eub district in this aud tbe other eonaties of tbe district, if tbe new mode is approved by Mercer County, will therefore (on April 14, in this eoonty) select two delegates, one as a Congressional aad ooe as a National delegate, and instract them for the candidates of their choice for those positions. Means What He Says. The letter of Hon. .Fames Q. Blaine from Florence, July, to Mr. Jooes, tbe Chairman of the Republican Na tional Committee, hog given rice to many different opinions, as to in real meaning. Bat to Mr. JoncH himself •ad other clone friends of Mr. Blaine the Utter he* bat one rueaniug. While a surprise to moat all yet it wan known that Mr. Blaine did not week, and would not seek, the coming nomination for the Presidency. The day had gone by with him to do that. AH bis ambition to be President bad paased away. He bad gone through three different contest* for the nomin ation and one for the election after a nomination. The turmoil, trouble ted aoxietiee of these struggles wore n great etrain upon bim. But that he again would have Iteen nominated ao one could doubt who read tue signs of the timet. And while his letter in oar opinioa is sincere and should be regarded as one declining tbe coming nomination, yet stranger things have happened than if be should yet be nominated by acclaim. He says his •«me will not be presented to the Convention, and this for reasons en tirely personal to himself. This wish will doubtless be respected and no formal presenting of bis name will he made. But if in tbe meantime tbe peopta and tbe party continue to de oaud it be woald at a patriot bow to their will. But other candidates are QOW encoursged and will press for. ward with greater effort for tbe bigb honor, aad all that every Republican hay for aad earnestly desire* is. that a good and tbe best man may be fonad, lo hand the. ticket that will teed the party to the success that Avattaitia November, BLAINE SPEAKS. He Withdraws from the List of Presidential Candidates. Mr. B F. Jones, Chairman of the National Republican Committee, has received a letter trom Mr. Blaine de clining to allow hw name to be pre sented to the National Republican Convention as a candidate for the presidential nomination. The following is Mr. Blaine's let ter in foil:— FLORENCE, ITALY, Jan, 25,1888 B F. Jones. E-q , Chairman of the Republican National Committee: 6ir__l wish through you to state to the members of the Republican Party that my name will not be pre sented to the" National Convention called to assemble in Chicago in June next for the nomination of candidates for President and Vice President of the United States. I am constrained to this decision bv considerations entirely personal to myself, of which you were advised more than a year ago. But I cannot make the aanouacemcnt without giv ing expression to my deep sense or gratitude to the many thousands of my countrymen who have sustaioed me so long and so cordially that tbeir teelinif has seemed to go beyond the ordinary political adherence of fellow p«rtisans and to partake somewhat of ihe nature of persoual attachment For this most geoerous loyalty of friendohip, I can make no adequate return, but 1 snail carry the memory of it while life lasts. Nor can I refrain from congratula ting the Republican Party upon the cheering prospects which distinguish the opening of the National contest of 1888 as compared with that of 1884 In 1882 the Republican party throughout the Union met with a disastrous defeat Ten States that had supported Garfleld and Arthur in the election of 1880 were carried by the Democrats either by majorities or pluralities The Republican loss in the Northern elections compared with the preceding National election exceeded half a million votes, and the electoral votes of the Union, divided on the basis of the result of 1882, gave to the Democrats over thrpe hun dred electors out of a total of four hundred and one. There was a par tial reaction in favor of the Republi cans in the elections of 1883 but the Democrats still held possession of seven Northern States, and on the batis of the year's contest could show more than 100 majority in the Elec toral Colleges of tne wnole country. But against the discouragement naturally following the adverse elec tions of these two years the spirit of the Republican Party in the National contest of 1884 rose high, and the Republican masses entered into the campaign with such energy that the final result depended on tbs vote of a single State, and that State was car ried by the Democratic Party by a plurality so small that it represented less than one-eleventh of one per cent, of the entire vote. The change of ft single vote in every (2,000) two thousand of the total poll would have given the States to the Republicans, though only two years before, the Democratic plurality ex ceeded (192,000) one hundred and ninety-two thousand. The elections of 1886 and 1887 have demonstrated growing strength in the Republican ranks. Seldom in our political history has a party, de feated in a National election, rained immediately with such vigor,ns have tbe Republicans since 1884. No com parison is possible between the sjriiit of the party in 1882 83 and its spirit in 1886-7." The periods present sim ply a contrast—the one of general de pression, the other of enthusiastic re vival. Should tbe party gain, in the results of 1888 over tbone of 1886 7, in anything like the proportion of the gain oi 1884 over 1882 3, it would secure one of tho most reuiarkjole victories of its entire existence. But victory does not depend on so large a ratio of increase; the party has on ly to maintain relatively its pres'ige of 1886 7 to give to its National can didate every Northern Sta'.o but one, with a far better prospect of carrying that one than it has bad for the past six years. Another feature of tbe political sit uation should inspire Republicans with irresistable strength. The pres ent National Administration was elected with, if not upon, the repeat ed assertions of its leading supporters in every protection Stale that no iss ue on tbe tariff was involved, Hoa ever earnestly Republicans urged that questiou as tbe one oi controll ing importance in the campaign, they were met by the Democratic leaders and journals with persistent evua.on, concealment and denial. That re source tbe Pre»ident has fortunately removed The issue which the Re publican* maintained und the Demo crats avoided in 1884 has been prom inently aud specifically brooch (on ward by tbe Democratic President, and cannot oe hidden out of sight iu 1888 Tne country is now in the en joyment of an industrial system which iu a quarter of u century has assured a larger National growth, a more rapid accumulation and a broader distribu tiou of wealth than were tver before known to history. The American people will now be openly and for mally asked to decide whether this system shall IKJ recklessly abandoned and a new trial be made of an old an experiment bus uniformly led to National embarrassment aud wide spread individual distress. On the result of Buch an issue, fairly preserv ed to the popular judgement, there i. no room for ouubt One thing only is necessary to as sure success—complete harmony and cordial co-operation ou tb« part of all Republican*—on tbe part both ol those who aspire to lead arid of who are eager to follow. The duty is not ono merely of honorable devo tion to the party whose record and whose aims are alike great, but. it M one demanded by tb« instinct of self interest and by the still higher promptings of patriotism. A closer observation of the condi tions of life among tbe older Nation". gives one a more intense desire that tbe American people ihall make no mistake in choosing the policy whirl, inspires labor with hope and crowuc it with dignity, which gives saf-ty to capital and protects increase, which secures political power t > ev ery citizen, comfort aud culture to every home. To tnis end, not less earnestly and more directly us a priv ate citizen than as a public candidate, 1 shall devote myself, with the coiifi deut belief that t.b« Administration of tbe (Jo7erniueut will be restored to the party which has demonstrated tbe purpose and the power to wield it lor the unity sod the boaor of the Republic, for tbe prosperity aad pro gress of the people. J em, very sincerely yours, JAMES G. BLAINE —Lecture ia ibo United Presby terian C4»nr«h oa next Thursday evening at 7 Jtf, Mr. Blaine's Declination. The Pittsburg Com Gaze'te of i Monday has the following t' 1 say eon- j c< raing Blaine's letter: -Tne letter ; which Mr. Bltii'Jp bu« addressed to ; Mr Jones, Chairman of tbe Repnb- j lican National Committee, will be ; read with absorbin? interest by :be \ whole country. In it he makes the ! unwelcome, though not uolooked-f r, statement that his name "will not be presented to the National Convention ! railed to assemble in Chicago in Juue j next;" and, further, that he has bee;i ; "constrained to this decision by con-1 sideratioLS entirely personal" to him - j self What effect will this letter have , upon the Republican party? This is I a questiou of momentous importance j and is. therefore, worthy of the most! careful consideration. In the first , place, it must be accepted as a fact. that Mr. Blaine has determined not i to be a candidate. He will give nooae : permission to present his uame. and will release ail bis personal frit ads ; from any obligations tney may have j felt themselves under to libor iu his ; behalf. This much is clear. But Mr. Blaine does not seem to have an ticipated a contingency quite likely j to arise his nomination by the »pon- j taueous impulse of the patty, without j his oon6eut and notwithstanding his j declination. There is nothing in his • letter to indicate ttPt he wcuid re- j fuse to accept a njmina'.ion tendered under such cirjumstanees Another effect of the letter will be to satisfy the great mass of the party that success is not only possible but highly probable His e.rgnment on this point will, indeed, be conclusive to many, and particularly to those who see in him the strougest candi date that can be named. Still anotbei eff< ct of Mr. Blaine's r< tu«al to enter the list of competitors for th« nomination will be to array against him thot-e Republicans who have other favorites and wno press the plea of unavailability against him There is » small faction of the party who act as though they would rather st_e it defeated tfiau to have it success ful under his leadership It is an irrefragable fact that Mr Biaitie is the tir»l choice of the grei t body of Republicans, East aud West, North and South, and the question now is. must he be taken at bis word and his uame no be longer considered in deference to tbe anti-Blaiue senti ment, or will the party follow i s bet ter impulses and tender him the nom ination, placing upon him ihe respon nihility.of declining or again accept ing tbe parry" leadership? Iu view of the unquestioned fitness of the man, bis splendid services in the pasr, hi« unf-urpu.-wd eqaipncrr for leudersbip, and the hope aud en tbuni&sm which his p rsou;il presejee inspires, what course is the party likely to pursu"? Realizing lb it tlx defeat of four years ago cannot be fit iributcd to anything which Mr. Biairie did or omitted to do, and that he lies closer to tho hearts of the jrreat majority of Republicans than anv other candidate, does not. every consideration of justice, right and patriotism, to say nothing of party courage, confiiste.icy and gratitude, demand his reuominati >u? If the party can succeed with an 7 other candidate, it can triumph with Mr Bl&ioe. The tariff, as Mr. Blaine sugge-tj. will be the leading issue iu the cam paign. Can a better representative of the protective system, or a more able exponent and champion of it.-t system, be nameu thau be? What essential quality is I ckiog in him that i« possessed by any other leader like ly to he selected? Those Republicans who defeated Mr Blaine by going over to Mr. C;eveiaud under the pretense of sub serving the cause of civil-service r. form haye found tbeir mistake, ar.d, if sincere will not repeat their blun der. Those who made civil-servjc relorm a pretext simply to cover their hostility to the tan 3 will not support any other Republican nominee, be cause, whoever lie may be, ho mu t be a pronounced and uncompromising advocate 'of protection. Taking all there facts into consideration, there is nothing to lose'and everything to gniu by nominating Mr Blaine, unless he is prepared to say that he would 11 »t accept the tender of a unauimous nomination."

About the rum business I have to say that multi tudes of women driuk and it is not the unusual thing t > see them la restau rauts so overpowered with wine aad beer thai they caa hardly sit up, while there are many so-called re spectable restaurants where they cau go take their champagne aud hot toddy all alone.

Besides that millions of respectable and refin ed in America would probably not vote at all, because they do not want to go to the polls, and, on the other hand, womanly roughs would ail go to the polls, and tuat might make the woman's vote on tne wrong side. There is not,in my miqd.much pros pect of tne expulsion of drunkenness dv female suffrage. "As to womau's wages to be cor rected by woman's vote I have not much fa!Li: 111 that.

Al. the time of the repeal quite a number of acta of Assembly w-jre in existence in which tbe "local option" feature, pronounced unconHtilntioual by Judge Taylor, were incorporated, notably the Wallace net for the gov eru'uerjt of cities uud the question of the couatituiionality of that feature had not beeu passed upon by the Su preme Court. Tho pressure upon the legislature to secure the repeal ol tiic i'tuce law of 17DD wa.j especially strong in Northwestern Pennsyl vania, but the opposition to its repeal was formidable. All efforts to effect a repeal omitting tho local option feature, failed and tho friends of the Measure finally adopted the loc tl op tion cluuse and tho bill passed both branches of the legislature and bocime n law in 1885. At the sessi >u of 188T,the Supreme Court in the mean time liaviiig declared the loc.il option feature <>i the Wallace ac: uocoustitu tiotial, a determined effort was made to entirely repe.tl tho law nt 1700 to aether with the act of 1885, which would have left the matter free of doubt But in the Mouse of lie pre Bentati\es ouly 1)1 votes could be ob tained for that purpose uud the bill failed. Public sentiment, however, has so plainly manifested itself iu la'/nr o. repeal of the law of 1700—in every county where a vote was taken under tho act of 1885 a tnnj irity fa voriog repeal—that it is believed there will be no trouble in accom plishing that end at tho next ausnion of the legislature, Tho Facts and Figures Against Free Trade.
