Blaine Weighs Open Campaign Against Grant
Special dispatch from Washington reports growing talk that Senator Blaine may authorize friends to organize a presidential campaign opposing Ulysses Grant. Observers note Blaine has delayed and evinced caution, weighing timing and strategy amid shifting political currents.
Possible new departure to form opposing Grant supporters
The text suggests a possible move to create an organization to prevent any from instructing for Grant, with Illinois as likely first action. It notes Blaine’s uncertain stance but indicates hints he may pursue such a course, while the decision remains unsettled. Washington reports Democrats rejected Ohio Census Supervisors over a promised half Democrat share, claiming the promise must be redeemed or the list won’t be confirmed, a tactic said to be repeated in other states.
