mH. bLAlNEH Address.
Speaker Baiuo's address to Lis constituents,
accepting denomination to Congress, appears
to ho bid for tho protoctionHt vote III the noxt
National Republican Convention. We say "ap-
pears to bo," Tor careful reading Of his letter
shows that Lo does not commit hinself unro-
servcdy to tle Protection theory, although lie
ap,ploya their shibboloth In tho FREQ and easy
nanuor Of ono who could an' If he would. It Ii
probable that tho great Iron and Steel Aasocia-
ton aud the great Wool and Wooleu Association
will require something more specific before thoy
write tho word Blaine on their ballots In 1876.
They havo not forgotten thnt Mr. D'aine put a
majority OF their opponents on tho Committee OF
Ways and Means in tho two last Congresses.
They will require good and co!locsable bond

But whilo Mr. Baiue leaves something to be
desired in the way OF plalnuess OF speech. ho
contributes his inluenco practically to the

them, by dcnouucng tho Reciprocity Treaty.
