F. BLAIR, SIR.

Francis Preston Blair is dead. To
the age Of S5 years, he had lived an
eventful lifc in the atmosphere of tho
greatest men OF America. ITc was
born April ~, 1891, in Washington
county, Virginia, and went ut an early
age to Kentucky, where hc was educat-
Ell at the once celebrated Transylvania
University. He was at fret warm
friend of Henry CLAY, but after the con-
test of 1924, he leaned toward the
Jackson party and took decided
grounds against nulliflcatiOn. Jackson
having read some of his articles on this
subject induced him to go to Washing
ton and edit the Globe. In this he
soon became associated with Itivcs,
and under Blair ~ Rivcs it became the
leading organ of the Democratic party
until Mr.. Polk changed the paper into
the Washington Union, and placed it
under General Robert Armstrong and
John z. Heiss.
Few men in the country have exert
Ell a greater influence than Francis T..
Blair. His two sons, Montgomery
Blair, Lincoln's Postmaster General,
and General Frank Blair, lately de-
ceased, were both men of note and
great influence. Mr.. Blair was one OF
the last of the old guard.

SHIFT THE BLOODY SHIRT.

Two courses arc now open to the Re-
publicans. They may go on as they
have begun, or they may at once and
finally cast off the "bloodyI shirt" and
base their appeal to the people on dis
tinct pledges OF reform and good gov
ernment. IF they have the courage to
do the last, they still have some hope
of success; for there Is no doubt that
while there is II universal demand for
~ change, IL considerable part OF the
voters would prefer this "change" to
come about under Republican rule. If
the reform wing party should now
come forward and take possession of
the party machinery, vigorously and
decisively inspire its councils and
efforts, and shake Off the Southern dem
agogues like Kellogg, Packard, Spen-
Ger and Chamberlain If they should
proclaim good Will, and cut loose from
| the authors and supporters OF /notori-
| Gus abuses at Washington and in the
South, then they still have II chance of
success. ,-
But if, on the other hand, and seems
most likely, the party goes on as it ht,-
gun, then it certainly seems to us its
fate is sealed. II will be compelled, in
that case, to encourage still more it's
bascst elements everywhere, and to
proceed to extreme measures in the
South in support of the rotten Radical
leaders there. We may expect to see
Grant ordering troops into South Car
olina, Louisiana and Mississippi to
back IL notoriously corrupt crowd of po-
litical gamblers. @
Such work as this cannot now be-;
done without arousing Throughout the
North II storm Of alarm and fndigna-
ton, which will sweep the Republican
leaders into deserved oblivion. Ifthe
party openly puts itself on the side OF
corruption and maladminstratiOn,
North and South, and misuses the Fed
cral power to maintain its rotten adj
herents in power, then it will deserve
to perish.-Neto YO,k HeraLtL. Fol.

The newly elected Legislature Of
West Virginia will elect two United
States Senators. Two-thirds OF this
Legislature are Democrats, and, OF
course, this ensures two Democratic
Senators. The grand old State Of Vir-
ginia was dismembered by Republi-
can Congress in order to multiply Re-
publican Congressmen and TO augment
the Republican strength. But Radi-
calism has had its day, and by that
same token the new State of West Vir-
ginia adds to the influence of the Dem
ocratic party.

wARIMMINENT in EuRoPEI.

The present posture OF the parties to
the Eastern question smells of war. So
Isulphurous, indeed, Is the order that
the London Times, hating, above all
Things, any disturbance of that mystic
creation, the sspeace OF Europe" !" is not
willing to predict any opinion on what
may, or may mot, happen within
thought that we saw reason why Russia.
as the leader of the Christian powers.
| might not be satisfied with the, milk.
and-water propositions for an arinistic
presented by Turkey. Add a bounJl-.
less spirit of aggrandizement to, q self
prrogated defense Of Christian Interest
the result must Inevitably be aRRres-
sion. Turkey, in not throwing herself
into the arms of the great Northern
Colossus, and accepting, under tho press
Of Herzegovinian risings aud Servian
revolution, whatever conditions might
have been imposed by it, defled that
ambition which has never slept, while
standing en grade on the Eastern from
tier. But Turkey has throughout mis-
calculated the strength of tho feelings
Of abhorance which she hns excited In
Europe as she has InfscalcuIated tho
measures she should have taken to re-
tain the good will of ancient allies.
She fancied that, she could play upon
the sharp rivalry between Austria and
Aussia, and profit by both. She has
Numbered in this. Austria is, if'any-
thing, the most enthusiastic counsel in
Europe for the plaintiff in tho great
cause ofthe Cross VS.. the Crescent. Tur-
key trusted in her power to bring back,
when she needed them, the gallant
friends who, In an historic year. had
twined their cClors with hers In d COM
mon cause of resistance against arrogant
power. She has blundered in this, too.
Tho Bulgarian massacres arc but Il sorry
bid for tho aid ot Catholic France and
Protestant England. %ar=tl g - Fcs-'3e
And SO the matter threatens to find
an issue in the clash of arms within u
faw days. The advance of tho Russian
standards is already reported. Tho
markets of Europe are in a whirl of ex-
element. The Stock Exchange of
London is panic-stricken.. Reductions
on Eastern bonds have been the inme-
diate result. England is anxious and
the Times has lost hope. The clouds,
over-blach for some time seem about to
burst. Russia, mastering to arms, will I
SOON beat her invading drums on the
Danube; and Turkey, although profess
ing patriotic resolve to fight her old
enemy to the end, must, II the matter
come to bayonets, sooner or later regret
with n bitterness like that of death the
old allies estranged by her own faithful
ness to pledges.-W. O. Atlleti,s. ,s,,,

Mr.. Parke Goodwin, after a careful
analysis of the character of Gov. Hayes,
comes to the conclusion that the Re-
publican nominee for the Presidency
is weak and infirm of purpose. This is
what his Congressional career shows
him to be, as also do all his individual
utterances since his nomination. More
than that, his letters and speeches
prove him to be lacking in ciearness of
intellect. Gov. Hayes is man Of very
ordinary abilities, unstable, and some
what muddle-headed.

number to elect him. The Sun snys
that the October result leaves Tilden's
success about as certain us Pierce's was
after the October election in 1862. In
concluding, tho Sun says:
ave have no longer any doubt of
tn he complete triumph of the Reform
party. But it will .not be achieved
without an earnest struggle. The par
tyi of corruption will die hard. The
possession OF power will only be sur
rendered after desperate fighting. In
the State Of New York especially, the
combat will be most intense and in
cessant from this day forth until the
election on Tuesday, November Z.
Every trick and device will be resorted
to by. the men in Office to save them

ing u new occupation. But no trick
and no device, however cunning or
however audacious, can overcome the
will of the people to have IL change,
