fne generalship he showed 10 driving them
from a cool and impudent confidence in their
strength into such a rage and frenzy, that
like the swine Of old they ran down the hill
into the sea, has won for him many warm
friends from among those who think be would
be ust as brave aud fearless for the right,
were he placed in the chief executive chair.
On the other hand he has hurt his prospects
here among class who wanted the hatreds
OF the war covered over, and who we're op.
posed to any reOpeniug Of the old sores, no
matter how rank and deadly might be the
poison fostering below. There is one other
thing in Blaine's favor, viz, that large
share Of the republicans Of the Northwestern
States are New Enganders aud their de-
scendants, and, more especially, are Michi-
gan, Wisconsin aud Minnesota filled with
energetic business men from Maine. This
would have less effect than ever upon his
election were it not for the fact that New
England has not been honored with chief
executive for many years that BristOw
comes from below Mason and Dixon's line,
and Washburne from state which has fur
nished presidents for so many years.)
The Bristow sentiment has been gaining
ground 10 this section since his name was
first mentioned in connection with the Gin
cinnati convention. His untiring pursuit Of
"crookedness" 10 whatever form and where
ever found, are winning many friends for
him in these degenerate days. Especially is
this so among those whose patience is entirely
worn out with the system Of POPULATION that
is receiving such rough treatment at his
hands. There are others who think some
name hitherto unheard Of in this connection
will bear away the nomination some "un.
known knight" who has not yet entered the
lists.
On tho whole the outlook is encouraging
for the republican party. Many Of those
who lett the party four years ago have re-
turned, and many more are ready to, if the
party only puts a good honest ticket ia the
field, interrupted by the taints of the times
then putting themselves on a sound platform
based on an honest administration Of govern,
ment aud civil service reform return al
soon as practicable to specie payments anC
the inviolability of the national obligations
With such presentment Of their intention:
the republicans would sweep this whole North
west. Only one thing could defeat this
and that is that the senate should refuse tC
confirm two or three more nominations like
Dana's. To-day Blaine is ahead, but he mus
look well to his laurels for it would take bu
little to turn the tide towards Bristow o.
Washburne. The delegates from this stat
will probably be uninstructed, and can vot
for the best names presented. j. w. g.

A Personal Motive FOR THE AssAssINA.
TIoN OF overwhelmingly Democrat tells
Il story which, if true, supplies the personal
motive of John Wilkes Booth in numbering
Abraham Lincoln, which has been lacking
in all accounts Of the affair hitherto given to
the public. John Y. Beal, long a bosom
friend of Booths, lay in prison under sen.
tence of death for piracy on the northern
lakes. Booth, accompanied by Senator Hale
of New Hampshire, Col. FOrney and Wash
ington Mclean, interceded with President
Lincoln for Beal's pardon, going to the
White House, after midnight, calling Mr..
Lincoln from his sleep, aud most piteously
pleading with him. The interview lasted
till 4 O'Clock in the morning, Booth throw
ing all his dramatic power into the work,
aud bringing tears from the eyes Of all At
last Mr.. Lincoln yielded and promised that
Beal should be pardoned. Next day he
told Mr.. Seward what he had done, and he
was very angry, declaring that the sentiment
of the North required Beals blood, and il
the man was not executed he would leave
the cabinet and charge Lincoln with being ia
sympathy with the South. Accordingly
Lincoln changed his mind, and Beal was eK.
ecuted. This was too much for Booth
He went into frenzy Of rage and swore
vengeance on Lincoln. Selecting the prOsi
dent for his particular victim, he engaged
the other conspiratorS to murder Seward,
and thus no got his revenge.

In lecture before the Young Mems
Christian Union at Boston, last Friday, Rev.
James Freeman Clarke defined the 'ring."
the "lobby," and the "caucus" as the three
great enemies Of the nation. Of the first, a
few have been broken and the destruction Of
more is promised. No one doubts the ex.
istence Of a senatorial ring, and few know
where to strike to break a ring To explode
these subtle and silent. acting conspiracies,
conscience must work as by earthquakes,
lightnings and whirlwinds. There is some.
thing terribly coherent in organized selfish
ness. or all political instruments the Lobby
is at once the most persuasive and danger
Gus. In its service beauty, more potent than
gold, is employed, and laws are enacted for
individual aggrandizement. 1t seems strange
that the wise trainers of the constitution did
not provide against this corrupt system. Ger
tainly homeopathic prevention then, whcl
high.minded patriotism hourished, would
have been far easier than allopathic cure to-.
day, when congress contains so much metal
that can be run in any mold But the eau
Gus is the chief Of all political evils. Were
it not for the schemes and devices organized
there, the pure and honest elements Of con-
vention might stand chance to prevail. II
Clergymeu and all patriotic citizens would,
every now and then, refresh the public mind
with these facts and show the connection Of
these cardinal vices with government, for
ward step would already have been taken in
the direction Of reform. Given the sentiment
that hates these deeds of evil, and the eyes
that seeing, knOtO them, and the days Of
rings, lobbies and rotten caucuses are num-
bered. Apathy and Indifference have liter.
ally drugged the public conscience, and the
bummers, ring men, lobbyists and dema-
gOgues have, Of course, crowded to the front.

In considering the mammoth proportions
of the late Mr.. Stewards property, the man,
for a moment, is forgotten. Though accu.
rate means are wanting Of arriving at the
precise figures, his estate is generally esti-
mated at fifty millions, nearly all of which is
wiled directly to his wife. Death snatched
the great merchant before his splendid plans
for benevoleuce had been matured, but If
Judge Hilton fulflls the spirit Of the will,
public charities will be generously romem-
bered. His private requests we're numerous,
ranging from $500 to 100000, the sum
bequeathcd to Mr.. Hilton. Many will carp
at the deceased as being too "snug' with
his giant resources, but popular opinion
will hold him as one Of the nations great
benefactors. So systematic has been his bus.
mess in all its details that his death in no
way interrupts the trade and industries he
controlled or necessitates the discharge Of
any of his army of employees.

Few Americans probably realize that in
some respects this is to be the greatest ex.
hibition the world has ever seen. Mono has

ever equaled in general effect the splendid

only Paris and Vienna which can venture to

satisfaction Of knowing that if the products

valuable instruction both for our manufact-

The following from the st. Adams Messen'
ger is the voice of truth
There are many in Vermont who are not
satisfied with any man yet mentioned for
governor. There is no denying that there is
neither enthusiasm for nor general sanction
Of, any man proposed. There is demand
for man who is something besides an ac-
eumuIator of wealth, or local politician, or
an attachG of some ring, or a granger or a
good tempar. There is a demand for a
high and pure statesman-a man whose very
name is synonym for political reform,
whose ability aud character aud reputation
will adorn the office and whose nomination
would lift our politics from the mire of self
seeking.

impulses of the hour may be Overridden by
an inordnats party spirit aud that the CEN
tennial election may, after all, be mere
choice of evils. With the general dissatis.
