on" firmly believe that the present sec
retary of the treasury has, Ivy his uniform
conduct in office, proved his fitness for the
paramount requirement Of our time-that
he has shown both the will and the copac-
ity necessary for the stern task which the
people aim to impose upon their next pres
ident.-Aierdnder II. Bult0ck.
If Tom Scott, who is one of Blaine's de-
tenders in these critical days and has had |
no one knows how intimate business rela- |
lions with him In the past, should want to
press his Texas Pacific scheme to compile
ton, next year or, If Jay Gould, whose
New ork daily has been Blaincs warm
est supporter for a month or so, should get
in tight place when the Union Pacific
railroad is pressed by congress to pay up
its little interest account with the govern
ment or, il both these gentlemen should
have their little wants at the same time,
would 1t not be good thing for them, if
they had a friend in the presidential chair
-Noroich Bulletin.
1t is said that Mr.. Blaine made pro-
found impression In the house Monday.
| The nomination was not to be made then
and there. 1t is to be made in Cincinnati,
ten days hence, after careful review of
the political field. What is more to the
purpose, the election is not to be held in
the house. The impression to be made in
q five months canvass upon the people is o
| different matter. To be successful, II
must be made by man who is entirely
clear in things in which Mr.. Blaine, how
ever innocent, is bot clear. We have no
doubt that his friends see and feel this, and
that they will support in his place more
fortunate canddate.-Aelc lO@ Post.
The elasticity has been taken opt Of his
candidature, and, while every sincere re-
publican would be very glad TO believe that
we have heard the last of the charges
against The integrity of Mr.. Blaine, very
respectable majority of the party would
probably be relieved to have the question
of his nomination out of the way Ii is
not by dramatic surprises like that of yes
terdsy, however well planned and executed,
that Mr. Blaine car commend himself rs
representative of the progressive scnti-
ment OF bis party. or can make himself the
republican candidate in what must be pre-
emincnly a struggle to secure higher
level OF craftsmanship and a more elresi

of his opportunities and nothing woulC

people are insisting on higher standard Of
official purity, and regarding with suspicion
every one who has used official position Of
