Unanimous and Enthusiastic,

Tne Convention at Saco yesterday was moi
only unanimous for Mr.. Blaine but was en-
thusiastic and in earnest. This was particu-
larly noticeable in the delegates from the rural
towns. "Our delegates must be decided fol-
Mr.. Blaine" was the general remark of dele
gates. "Our people are wide-awake," said a
delegate from one OF York's back towns.
sand if the feeling elsewhere is anything like
that in our section, with James G.. Blaine as
Presidential nominee, we can sweep the
State by twenty thousand majority.in Sep
tember." Such, we believe, is the almost
universal sentiment of the rank and file OF
the Republican party in the First District.
The Republicans of this part of the State
have always regarded Mr.. Blaine as man of
rare ability, but the pluck and brilliancy be
has displayed as the party leader in the
House dhas made him their acknowledged
leader and aroused that spirit of admiration
which inspires the heartiest enthusiasm.
They have watched him most closely; they
know how bitterly he has been assailed; they
have witnessed his thorough vindcation and
complete triumph over his foes. Hereafter
the ISLANDERS of personal and political foes will
only tend to make his thousands OF friends
more persistent and enthusiastic.

In quoting j. B. Stewards recent letter
concerning the John. E. Blaine business, the
Cincinnati Commercial says: "Our general,
impression is that there is not much left OF
Riddles solemn and sentimental vindica-
tion." Notwithstanding its hostility to Mr..
Blaine, it expresses an inclination to sympa-
thlze with him: cat any rate he bears him
sell like one of the biggest boys in the school
house. We are capable OF sorrow that he
cannot be the next President"
The following are the District delegates
from New Hampshire, all Blaine men. First
District, Alonzo Mute of Pennington and
George W. Marston Of Portsmouth, Samuel
Adams of Portsmouth aud Charles M. Muir
ply OF Dover were elected alternates. Sec
ond district, E. A. Straw of Manchester and
jesse A. Gault of Hooksett, DR.. J. II. Gal
linger of Concord and Gilman c. Scripture of
Nashua alternates. Third District, Thomas
G. Rand of Keene and Benjamin F. Whid-
den Of Lancaster, Tileston A. Barker of
Keene and A. G. Greeley of Lebanon alter
mates.
IT seems that Blaine is still decidedly the
head man in the Cincinnati race, and there
fore his pate must take the bats which come
from the united rear guard to the front.
Bristows'S mules, Morton's war disburse-
ments and Conklng's fees as senatorial attor-
ney, have all been played trump cards with
little or no effect, and are practically aban-
doned. but Blaine only gets the railroad
scandal throttsed in one form to find it pop .,
in another. 1t is now conceded that he didn't
kill bis first wife by brutal treatment, since il
has been discovered that she still lives in
good health and fayors Blaine for President.

scandal has the advan tage of special crook

incline plausible inferences in any direction

Blaine is the choice of Illinois, the entire
delegation being in his favor.
The Quincy ul.) IVhig recommends Blaine
and Bristow as the wisest thing by all means
that the Cincinnati Convention can do.
Why is it that the journals which are SO
deeply convinced that Mr.. Blaine is not so
sufficiently honest TO be President are per-
fectly willing to make him Vice-President?
Is not honesty desirable tling in Vice
President?
The Massachusetts delegation may be di-
vided on the first ballot, but after that we
expect to see it a unit for Blaine, the Blaine
men returning the compliment by heavy
vote for Bristow as Vice,-Springfeld In
