of Kellogg-whom Jim Nye used to


honest old Tom Robertson says, "hated
at tho North, exeerated at the South,
and despised by the nigger" Blaine
finds oongenial fellowship In Kellogg.
However, Blaine seizes the coat-tails Of
Kellogg and expects Kellogg to pull
him into the Presidency four years
from now.
And yet Blaine represents his eonstit-
ueney with fidelity. Perhaps YOU are
not acquainted with the constituency Of
Blaine. Dlaine's constituents are those
NATIVES OF MAINE
who neglect to emigrate precipitately
as soon as they are old enough to real
ize what kind Of State they have been
born in. Providence keeps O few peo.
pie In Maine who are carefully selected
with view OF influencing oil respecta-
BILE folks to emigrate at once. Well,
these are Blaine 9 constituents-the few
persons retained as moral scare crows
by Divine Providence. After this ex-
eret of Blaine's wonderful hold upon
the people Of Maine. No hold has ever
been seen like 1t, unless we accept that
hold which Blaine got on those Multi
gan letters. And no hold like it will
ever be seen until the devil gets Blaine,
constituents, Mulligau letters and all.
But, to be serious, Blaine is becoming
THE MOST COLOSSAL NUISANCE
Of the century. He is not only deluging
the name OF the American people with
disrepute, but he Is becoming chronic
dlsturber Of the peace and ~ inveterate
peddler Of noxiou5 notions, which are
designed to bedeyil the feeble. minded.
Never accomplishing anything and pro.
posing nothing, he hangs on the verge
of politics like q Bedouin upon the
TANKS OF d caravan. watching for some
pilgrim with n sick camel to drop out
OF the procession.
fthe fools were all dead Blaine could
do no harm. But some OF them still
live, and, rs o consequence, Blaine
always has just enough Of following to
keep his own coneeit up to the intoler-
able point and to infect the political
tmosphere with on unpleasant smell.
There is no success in him; but he
always comes near enough to success to
nerve his misguided followers for
another effort in his behalf. His fol-
lowers are
OF TWO GLASSES.
First, played out an q used up old hacks
and frauds who have been kicked out Of
oil other fellowship, an. second, credu-
lous and enthusiastic boys who are led
to believe that iron cheek and leather
lungs constitute the true statesman,
and that Blaine's system OF ten cent
ble-riggery Ia the true game OF
politics. As Kennebec town council
man Blaine would have been q success.
But in the arena OF national politics he
figures rs ridioulously as q cockroaeh
turned out TO pasture in q ten acre
lot. It is only when he becomes the
boss cockroach OF horde OF
that he ceases to be
nd hn fH ha ri.
diculous when be becomes pestiferou5.
He may not be able to accomplish any
thing of great detriment, but he some
times has power to delay the accom-
plishment of that which is beneficial,
as In the present instance he obstructs
the paCiflcation Of
LOUISIANA AND SOUTH CAROLINA.
When Stanley Matthews and Mr..
Evarts, on behalf of Hayes, advised
that poor, shivering upstart, Chamber
lair, that the good Of the country re-
quilea his withdrawal from the position
to which he pretends, Matthews and
Evarts simply did,. by mild persuasion,
out Of pity, what simple justice would
hair OF his head, and what will be done
by the hair Of his head, too, IL, at
BIaine's instigation, he should stick
there thirty days longer. But Blaine
thinks he sees an opportunity, and
grasps it. Now, II little niger should
see mules tail, and. imagining that 1t
afforded him q good opportunity to
steal ride, should grasp the tall
with the consequences customary
in such cases, everybody would
laugh and express wonderment that,
after two centuries of uniformly
experiment, the Ethiopian
should still be so infatuated as to grasp
q mule by the tail. But the niger In
absurd than Blaine is when he
EMBRACES THR CARPET BAGGER
and tries to make political capital out
Of him. He might as well go out In the
fields and bestride the decomposing
carcass Of a dead horse with the design
Of taking ridel Poor Blaine! When
that great, big presidential maggot gets
into q small head 1t produces ricketts,.
Blaine "hoped his tongue would cleave
to the roof OF his mouth" That was
the most discreet wish ever knew him
to avow. II 1t only would, he might
possibly obtain a reputation for good
sense In the course OF time-unless he
should learn the deaf and dumb art OF
did that, it might serve to keep his
fingers out of other things equally dis
Meanwhile have my little laugh on
the boys, who, ten days ago, were sup
plying lung power to produce the Blaine
yell, and-why, three Cabinet places
were the merest bagatelle. you know
Blaine was going to be President in
fact! But he would allow Mr.. and Mrs.
Hayes to occupy the White House, you
know, just to humor the children and
keep peace in the family. But it seems
Blaine is not President in fact. 1t is
somebody else! A. c. B.
The many fiiends of our highly esteemed
townsman, Mr.. Chas. Leightop. will be pleased
TO learn that he has returned to New Orleans.
Mr.. Leighton has been absent fur soma months
on visit to the North. We have 10 doubt he
has spent mut h of his time in making selections
of goods. and that his elegant shirt emporium
will be one Of the greatest attractions to young
men in the city; however, we are glad to see his
old familiar f. CO again within the bounds OF his
