HOMEMADE ELooUENcE.
The Soul of Andrew Jackson San
dusky Pours Forth a Puts
SAINT Panegyrio on the
Plumed Knighs. ~


throughout the length and breadth
of the land, that Mr.. A. j. San
dusky, young attorney of Pulaski,
was warm partisan of James G..
Blaine, alias the. Plumed Knight,
alias the Helmeted Aurora Borealis
from Down East; but the facts are
that way. So confident was Mr.. San
dusky that his favorite would be
placed at the head of the republi
can ticket, that lie prepared an eulo-
gy on his character, TO be read in
this place when the electric fluid
bore along the wires the glad intel
! ligence of his nomination at Chi
cago. OF course, when Garfield
knocked Mr.. Blaine's pins from IN
der him and tripped up Grant,
Sherman and the whole lot, Mr..
Sandusky's opportunity of working
off his panegyric to a large and en-
thusiastic crowd, bubbling over
with applause, was l"at; but fortu
nately it was not 100 late TO put t
in print. In compliance with his
request we publish, without altera
ton, this extraordinary effusion,
commencing it to our readers as a
choice contribution to the political
literature Of the day. Here it is:
JAMES G.. BLAINE.
The Republicans of the United
States demand a man in the Great
contest of 1880 of intelligence, a
man of integrity, a man well known
in political opinion. They demand
a reformer after tn election as well
as before. They demand statesman.
They demand a politician from the
lowest to the highest and the best
sense and a Inand of moral courage.
they demand a man like James @.
Blaine, of Maine, To know what the
United States needs. They demand
a man who will preserve the fiuan-
cial honor of the United States;
one who kows that the State debt
must De paid by and through the
prosperity of the people-not by
politics, but by labor. The man

tics and for his country like j. G.
