Congressman Hurbut of Illinois thinks Mr..
Blaine the hest man for President. He docs not
tapprove of an Illinois candidate.
The independent Phiadelphia Times gives as
the result CT the municipal elections in PennsyNa-
MIA on Wednesday that the democrats generally
are missing
Gen. Matt Head has again been nominated Tor
the Senate of New Hampshire and the repuol-
cans Of his district intend that he shall have ms
seat this year.

friends in Ohio: "As 10 my views ~ reference 10

for me to remind you that have steadily opposed

voted de 'puhikin ticket. But Use democrat
now; i TUX to drpkil boss, an got into bad
kump'ny."
Ex-senator Brownlow is becoming facetlous.
His most recent is this: "a democratic exchange
thinks that Tom Hendricks and Jerry Back would
make popular Presidential ticket the eonp!na-
ton, Tom and jerry, suiting democrats exceed
ingly well. Our information, however, IS that
they like it better Straight"
Congressman Landcrs, the imitation candidate
for Governor OF Indiana, is interesting states
man. While he was denouncing the national
banks he was the owner Of $1,000 OF the stock OF
one Of them. Now he has transferred 1t to bis
wife, but he draws and receipts for the dividends
regularly.
The Golden Rule says; 1.-The glory Of Mr..
Blaine's financial speech is that it voices this hon
orable instinct Of the nation and gives tit eA
preston TO the commercial necessity. His words
are manly and wise. If they are intended TO pave
his way to the Presidential chair, they furnish
evidence that he proposes to reach the goal OF his
hopes only along path of honor
Talking Of bolts, the St. Louis Globe Democrat
saws 1.-THE nomination by the greenback democ-
racy of Indiana of Franklin Landers as the candi-
date of their party for Governor is confirmation
of the ominous rumors which have prophesied a
bolt in the democratic party and it is direct chal
lenge to the whole hard money wing OF the party

Worn OF POLITICAL HISTORY.

WoPD OF POLITICAL HISTORY.
Gar, Scburz is disposed to doubt Mr.
t,Iaine's courage in appearing so late in
the field with his speech on the finances.
He saws in a letter to the Westliche Post
at came some months too late. Ifhe had made
this speech in Ohio during the late campaign
when the point was to check the course OF the ID
Aationists, it would have rendered good service
But in that critical time, when it seemed uncer
tain whether the imitation movement would moi
sweep over the country and carry all before IT.
Mr. Blaine had no leisure for the struggle in re-
gard to the finance question; he preferred as 2
partisan in his State to swing the "bloody SHIRT,
and rescue the country from second rebellion;
But now after that onslaught has been repelled,
and the inhationists see themselves restricted to
more defensive policy, the speech of Mr.. Blaine
only shows what heavy blows he could have given
the enemy if he had then resolved to enter the
field before the enemy was defeated
We have good deal of regard for Mr..
Carl Schurz as a critic and orator, but he Is
sometimes mistaken in his facts and inter-
ces. Had he been better posted, he would
not have been led into the error which the
above item from his paper contains. The
pist and general tone of Mr.. Blane's re-
cent speech on the Finances were given
by Mr.. B. in the Maine campaign prior to
the Sept. election, and before Mr.. Schurz
had returned from Europe to take part in
the Ohio campaign. Still more, if he will
read the sixth resolution of the Maine Re-
publican State Convention, which assem-
bled June 18th, months before MIR. Schurz
made his Cincinnati speech on the tinan-
ces, he may have occasion to revise his Ian
guaee as to the date of Mr.. Blaine's dec
laration on the currency question. That
resolution at the date OF its endorsement
Dy the Maine Republicans had Mr.. Blaine's
emphatic approval. We award all praise
for the fearlessness with which Mr.. Schurz
defended a sound currency in the Ohio
contest. We think he can have no real
objections to doing justice to those who
have been equally fearless and faithful.
