NV York, May Jl.-A Tribune edi.
torial says ''either Blaine is n Of the
smartest and luckiest roguei in the world"
or he is innocent Of the accusations
which have been brought against him.
The more than 10 who bound thcmsel-
yes under a curse that they would mel.
Their eat o drink until they had killed
Paul were not more in earnest than those
gentlemen from the East and West, who
bound themselves to blow Blaine sky
high. Mos, Of them undoubtedly had
patriotic motives, believing that the par.
ty eau do better. They have been yis-
ourously persistent and uncompromi-
sing. The Tribune has looked on the
spectacle Of tho attack add defense as n
perfectly impartial spectator. only oeca-
sionally protesting against unnecessary
brutality. and Of course getting
paid for it in bad language, and 1t seems
to us now that the whole conspiracy is 4
failure. Blaine is stronger to-day in his
party apd before the people than ever
before. lie may be unfit for President,
but no. ON count Of tho things they
have alleged against him. The conse-
qusncc is that he goes into the Cincin-
natl Convention certain as q candidate
who has been already tried in the FUR
mace aud by fire, and come out UNI
scathcJ." The editorial then goes on to
point out Blainc's dement's as nh ideal
President; that ho is too partisan, aud
4
too many ~preiudices; and is responsible
in n great measure for the failures aud
blunders Of his party. The TriJ0s
concludes; mo candid person can read
the charges without reaching a conclu-
sion entirely favorable to his innocence.
Noopen accusation has been made which
he has not freely and frankly met and
answered. and in every instance lac
has driven his accusers back from the
open charge to the safer refuge o! sug.
g~es.ions AMI hints. and insinuations.
