The party TO whom Blaine wrote had
IN conjunction with Sam BOwles and
NordbOff urged Blaine to abandon the
hope of the Presidency and go for Ad-

his reply, said 1.-The cant and non

yourself put forward about Adams as
the coming man both amuse and en-
rage me. When he comes, the Re-
publican party is gone. 1t would not
be Adams fall but bis rise, that

be beaten under some candidates in
1876 and still have future but if it
should with Adams it would never
breathe again. The day of his inaug

his father or grandfather. Although

plentiful supply of those qualities
which made the two Adamses the
conspicuous failures among our early
Presidents, and a great lack of those
characteristics which, with all their
faults and failures as Executives, still
made them justly illustrious in our an
mails: The Presidents who were great
leaders of men and of parties have
been our successful Presidents--W Wash-
ington and Jefferson among the early
Presidents. Jackson and Lincoln at
later periods. The most shining eX-
amples among the men who possessed
in pre-eminent degree the talent and
aptitude for the station were Hamil-
ton, De Witt Clinton, Henry Clay,
Seward, and Stephen a. Douglas
but of not single quality of any one
of them can you find the least coun-

To carry out their reform policy the

der elk balls and chains, also six big
double whistles with a back action,

any policemen yet to be sure, but
then, like Mrs. Caudle's coffin, whis-

a little out of proportion-a half-doz-

If the council had purchased three OF
