a day of triumph for Blaine. Republi-
can Conventions met in six States and
in effect he swept every one of them.
Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, Missouri
and Illinois seem to have gone for him,
Notwithstanding the fact that formal
pledges were not made, and although
New Hampshire failed to instruct in his
favor, seven out of her ten delegates are
in his interest and his friends are jubi-

ceive the nomination at Cincinnati. The
many rumors set afoat touching his per-
sonal honesty and investigations set on
foot by political rivals have not hurt him
in the slightest degree with his party.
On the contrary they appear to have ad-
vanced his cause, making him popular
on account of the persecution of which
he seemed to be the object. 1t is plain

of enmity at the White House or else he
is strong enough to bid defiance to
