The Column with Blaine On 1t turn
ed 70 Dust.
There are but few Republicans who would
not have thought three months ago that the
man who predicted Blaine's defeat at Gin
cinnati had but few ideas in political reckon
ing. But the tide has reversed itself, and
the man that Was the idol of the party is
now its most hated object. The whirlwind
has spent it's force and the calm is more en-
ervating than If his name had never been
brought up. Blaine can never hope to be
anything better than the member from
Maine:
from the New York Times.]
The Times has never advocated the can
didature of Mr.. Blaine, and 1t has promptly
recognized the unftness to act as the Re
publican standard-bearer Of man ABOUT
whose record there is so much that Is duol-
Gus, if not discreditable.
from the N. Y. Hersld.l
There Is no difficulty in understanding
the exact position of Mr.. Blaine. By his
own words and acts. by his written letters
which by suppressing he admits TO pe im-
proper, he shows that his relations, WIN
shameless gang of jobbers and swMdlers,
were inconsistent with his duties as severe
guardian of the peoples interests. We hear
nothing from Washington to change the
opinion that Mr.. Blaine is no longer can
didate for the Presidency, We shall be sur
prised if his name is even mentioned at the
| Cincinnati Convention.
From the B ston Post.
Mr., Mulligan, the Treasurer of the Globe
| The tire, who testified before the Congress
sional Committee, yesterday, relative to Mr..
Blaine's bond transactions, is considered IN
this community careful and discreet per-
son: methodical and cear-headed in busi-
ness transactions, decisive yet rather un-
assuming individual, who looks sharp after
money matters and who is the last man
that would draw npon his imagination for
his facts. Unless Mr.. Mulligan's friends
wholly mistake his character, be does not
belong to the class of sensational witnesses.

This is an interesting questiod, and it will
be difficult to solve it before the meeting OF
the Convention.
/ From the N. Y. World.]
The World processes no love fer Blaine,
but " CON mon fairness requires" 1t to say
that " his tale is rather highly colored, and
that people who, having been private secre
taries, flower out into public accusers, mus
not expect to be received with open arms by
honorable men, however sure they may b'
of being received with open mouths by th
multiLudes."
From the Philadelphia Times
~ Had James G.. Blaine been on trial merel
n for his life, as an ordinary prisoner strugglin

with propriety have called in the legal cul
e ming of such men as Judge Black an

u It puzzles the Boston Herald to see he
ne Blaine could have derived most of l.
ne I wealth, as he says he did, from his Mono
gahela coal lands, considering that he pa
~ $21 900 for the property thirteen years az
i'd and has never derived any income from
