The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1876-03-11
SATURDAY, MARCH II. 1876:
FOR PRESIDENT JAS. O. BLAINE

does not yield to a few men, --unan-
thorized, and only speaking for
themselves, the privilege to force
their individual opinion upon the
masses of the Republican party OF
this Territory, by pronouncing that
party..unanimously in favor of a GER
tain candidate for the Presidency.
The attempt to thus forestall public
opinion here having recently been
made, we hasten TO counterfeit the
over-oficiousness of these men, by
pronouncing unequivocally against
their schemes; and we believe that
we but echo the wishes. of a large ma
jority Of the Republican voters of
Wyoming Territory, who, like u
self, honor Jas. &. Blaine for his hdel-
ity to his party, his steady courage
and iron will, his high, uncorrupti-
BILE character, and his strict adherence
to the great principles which are the
foundation of a free, Republican Gov
eminent, when we present that, old
and tried leader as the choice of a
vast majority of the Republican
voters of this Territory, and the
whole country, for the highest Office
within the gift of the American peo-
pie.
In times like the present it becomes
almost an imperative necessity to put
to the front aud place at the helm OF
the ship of state, the well-known and
often-tried leader who has never
been found wanting, and in whom
the country has the most implicit
confidence. This man is James G..
Blaine, of Maine; to-day the most
powerful advocate of Republican
principles on the floor of Congress,
and n of the most gifted and pur-
est men produced by the great Re-
publican organization.
Mr.. Blaine's course as a public man
is well known to the whole people
his reputation is a national one his
name is a household world in every,
even the humblest, home in this vast
country.
AS Speaker of the House Of Repre-
sentatives for many years, he has
earned for himself the admiration of
both, political fir lends and foes !; his
course on the floor of Congress, dur
ing the present session, has obtained
for him the hearty approval and in
dorsement of hundreds of thousands
of good and true men all over the
country, whose hearts have swelled
with gratitude to him for the courage
he displayed on many trying occa-
sions, and who have seer in Jas. G.
Blaine the man who is equal to any
occasion that may occur, where pat
r~iotisln and pluck are required-qual-
tiles that always commend them
selves TO the average American mind
with great emphasis.
The people see and feel that it will
be safe to confide in Mr.. Blaine for
the proper solution and definite set
Element of very many questions of
the highest moment to the peace,
prosperity and happiness of thu
country, that must find solution and
settlement within the next Presi-
dental term, and this fact makes his
name more acceptable to the masses
than that of any other man in the
nation.
North, as well as South. this feel
ing obtains !; new we receive almost
daily through our many exchanges
prove that such is the fact.
1t were an easy task to multiply
reasons, nd intinitum, why Mr..
Blaine should be nominated and
elected for the next Presidency /; but
we will content ourselves, on this &C.
casioh, with the enumeration Of the
following, VIZ:
First-Because In his whole course
as a party leader, in and out of Con-
gress, he has exhibited sterling quail
titles, both of head and heart, which
demonstrate the fact that he is emf
nently qualified for the discharge of
the highest trust in the gift of the
nation and from the experience of
the past. 1t is safe to trust the desti-
mics of the Republic in his keeping.
Second-Because after his long SER
vice In the important Office OF Speak
or, and as a member Of the House of
Representatives, under the most try
