Garfield's record on the Chinese ques-
ton is already being quoted against
him. His nomination at Chicago was
apparently one of those sudden and
panicky things to which no forethought
had been given. He was nominated
as an anti-Grant man, and nobody in
the convention thought of inquiring in
to his Chinese record, and whether he
could carry the States of the Pacific
slope. California, Nevada and Oregon
political question of the day is the Chi
nese question. They may be interest
ed somewhat, they say, in the tariff
and in financial questions, but the first
and most important thing to them is to
get rid of their Chinese population.
On that point Garfield's record is very
bad, as he was one of the few members
of Congress who voted against the
anti-Chinese bill introduced last ses-
sion. The Californians have, of course,
already discovered this, and the de-
nunciation of Garfield in that section
has already begun. Kearney declares
that while Blaine would undoubtedly
have carried California, Garfield will
not poll one-third of the votes Of that
State, or of Oregon, or of Nevada; and
there Is every reason to believe that
,Kearney, demagogue as he is, express
ed the popular opinion Of the Pacific
slope.
The San Francisco papers are not at
all pleased with theanti- Chinese plank
of the Republican platform, declaring
1t far too mild and moderate. When
they find that this weak plank has
been supplemented by pro-Chinese
we may expect to hear some
very plain talk from them that will ar
que i'll for the success of that remarka-
BILE ticket of Garfield aud Arthur on
the Paci1i: slope.

Praise for Blaine.
from the New York Sun. !

From the New York Sun.
Let the fact be recognized that James
G.. Blaine and the men who stood by
him through thirty-five ballots have
rendered the country service the i'm
portance of which it is hard to over
estimate.
It was personal ambition, and not
old fashioned patriotism, that put
Blaine at the head of the anti-Grant
column? That may be true. AS a
rule, it is not pure patriotism that
makes men candidates for office.
All the bad and designing railroad
men were for Blaine - Jay Gould,
Huntington of the Central Pacific, Joy,
the monopolist of the Northwest; most
of the broad-guage jobbers, contract
mongers, subsidy hunters, and lobby
lists, all with their pockets full of money?
That may be true, also. If it is true, it
makes no difference. Blaine and his
railroad hackers blocked the third-term
game. Let the jobbers and the men
with money in their pockets have due
credit for what they did accomplish,
without reference to what they wanted
to accomplish.
The Sun would have opposed Blaine
from now till election day, had he got
the nomination. No doubt we should
have said many hard things about him,
all of which hard things would have
been true.
Nevertheless it would have been bet
ter to have Blaine nominated and
elected than to have Grant running
for office again, with even an infinites-
sinai chance of election. There might
have been scandal and corruption with
Blame in the White House; there would
have been no danger of the, republics
overthrow.
Blaine's second defeat is likely to be
final. But in his defeat he has served
his country we'll

The National Observation-Disclosures con-
vention completed its work last Friday
by nominating a Presidential ticket
James B. Weaver. of low a. for Presi-
dsnt, and r. J. Chamber s, of Texas,
for Vice President. Butler, Wright and
other leading Presidential candidates
seem to have had little following in the
convention, and Weaver carried off the
nomination unanimously on an inform
al ballot. Weaver is Greenbacker of
Republican antecendents, who was
elected to Congress in 1873 in a strong
Republican district by the combined
Democratic and Greenback vote. He
made some show at Washington, but
not near as much as his chief COMPETE
tor.for the Presidency, Wright. Cham
bers was the nominee for Vice Presi-
dent of the "Brick" Pomeroy branch
of the party which held separate con-
vention ct st. Louis some weeks ago.
This split, however, appears to have
ended, the candidate for President of
the st. Louis convention, Dillage, hav-
ing retired and compromise being eff
fected by the admission of large num-
Der of "Pomeroy Greenbackers" to the
Chicago convention and the nomina-
ton of their candidate for Vice Presi-
dent, Chambers.

John Sherman isn't entirely serene;
the unexpected result of the Chicago
convention has stirred even the icy flow
of his circulation, and he is disposed to
take little quiet revenge upon those
faithless henchman who betrayed his
cause and assisted in the nominati of
Garfield. Tuition, whose term of SER
vice as collector of Philadelphia has
just expired, promised Philadelphia to
John but didn't deliyer the goods.
Conseq uently Mr.. Tuition goes out and
Hartranft goes in. Said Tuition to the
defeated Sherman the other day:
"Some of my friends will be greatly
disappointed, Mr.. Sherman, by my
failure to secure reappointment." GA
good many people have been disap-
pointed of late, Mr.. Tutton," replied
the Secretary. eyes, am very sorry.
I think Senator Cameron will begreat-
ly disappointed by this, SIR" II real
ly don't know what obligations I am

man. "Mr. Sherman" said Tuition des-
perately II think if our boys could
have got into line they would have
voted for YOU" "Well, reason about
that in this way, Mr.. Tuition - said the
astute Sherman, ~ think it must be
good deal easier for man with one
hundred and twenty votes to get into
line than for man with only one vote.

Put those little shoes away!

Futile was our every effort,
Vain, alack- a-day! Alas!

Hoot at you, a lion slain;
