BLAINE IN OHIO.
An Irresistible POpuiar Outburst which
NO Effort can Suppress

The following letter from ]. M. Dickinson,
Mayor of New Lisbon, Ohio, was received
on the Both ult. by Congressman Price, chair
man of the National Blaine Club:
Kind Sir:-It might not be uninteresting
to You 10 know OF the Blaine pulsation in our
town. We held our township Centre Re-
publican primary last Saturday, 9th inst, at
my office. Wepolled 3l5 votes, and we took
the straws on Presidential first choice, in
which we found for Grant 2; Sherman,
Hayes, /; Blaine, 311. From diligent in
quiry from different parts of the county we
find about Dine-tenths of the masses of the
Republican party are stalwart Blaine men,
Some talk "Blaine or nobody" True, some
old-time politicians, who are reluctant to let
90 their hold on once willing constituency,
talk for others, but it is like talking to the
eternal hills-unheeded.
You can make any use of this you see
proper to forward the irresistible pressure of
The masses demanding the nomination of
James G. Blaine for President of the United
States at Chicago in June next.

SINCE the Cameron Conkling business in
their States, the Third Term has made halt,
and budges nowhere in the North. There is
little hope for it anywhere in the Republican
States except Illinois, where part of the dele.
gates will probably be for Grant. Maine,
Indiana, Vermont, Rhode Island, Kansas and
Connecticut, acting since New York, have
given their votes solid against Grant. Blaine
gets them all except those of Vermont. for
Edmunds, AID in Connecticut, for Ed
''boom" needs deal of boosting, and it ut
terly fails then in every State relied upon to
elect Republican President.

NEW YORK Tribune: General Leslie
Coombs re-appears once more in politics as a
ferocious anti-Tilden man. He says he
doesn't believe in ilden at all, and wouldn't
vote for him to save his life. His lack of
nerve has cost him the venerable and irasci-
BILE Generals respect. If the Republicans
put up decent man he thinks Tilden will
be beaten. More than this, eff the Republi-
can nominee is anything short of being a
horse-thief or a housebreaker he will beat
TIlden." This is vigorous language, and it
deserves some rebuke The General is q
very ol man, and If he is to be chided the
service should be performed by some Demo-
crat who is within quarter of century at
least of his age. Montgomery Blair is the
only man who has both the age and the
proper amount of Tilden devotion. The re-
buke should be administered in public, and
an admission fee charged. There would be
q large house.

THE Third Termers are getting their issues
mixed. General Grant is creating something
of emocratic boom for himself in the
South by saying that the country needs as
little government as possible. Whether un-
justly or not, this is construed in the South to
mean that he is no longer in favor of q
'strong Government" Meantime, in the
North he is urged as the "strong man" who
can be depended upon to keep the South in
check. He can't fill both these characters,
and the only point to decide is whether he or
his friends are the more accurate interpreters
of his own views. h9%
Helena weekly herald., 1880-04-15

GENEsEo (Ill) Republic: There has all
along been strong belief that Grant would
disappear from the presidential race provid-
ing there was not a spontaneous and over.
whelming sentiment manifest in lis favor.
That there is nothing of the kind is becom-
ing more and more apparent every day. To
succeed he must make fight, which we
think is not his intention, and there is o pos
sibility amounting almost to a probability that
he will yet step aside. Above all things, the
Republican party wants to choose as candi-
date the man who can draw to his support
all who have ever trained under the Kepub-
lican standar1, or as nearly all Of them as it
is possible to secure. 1t is our belief that
that man is James 9. Blaine. No man is
more p 'pular with the people, for he is pre-
eminently man of the people. With the
''plumed knight as leader we believe our
party will 60 on to victory with rush ss ir-
resis.ible as fate. His nomination will hush
the third term clamor. It will still the dis
contented mutterings of the dissffected Ger
mans. 1t will be accepted by those who fear
the politicians as nomination by the people.
1t will harmonize and encourage all classes.
1t will free the party from all clogs of what
ever kind that might be thrown in the way
of others. While we shall be prepared, as
we always have been, to accept the choice
of our party and bring every gun we have to
bear on the common enemy, it is our privil-
ege and our pride to name Blaine as our first
choice

THE Republicans Of Montana are few and
far between who are wiling to declare them
selves in favor of a Third Presidential Term.
The feeling of the masses has perhaps under
gone but little change toward General Grant
personally, but they view with distrust his
silence in the present political exigency. 1t
is high time for hin to speak out, declining
in positive language to be considered longer a
candidate. The States depended upon to
elect Republican PresiAest are against him.
and be must see that they will not accept him
except by compnlsion. Tue Democratic States
may force him upon the party, but under no
other circumstances can he become the Re-
publican nominee. gs-i ......

TIE failure in Rhode Island to elect the
Governor by direct vote of the people is ex-
planned by the circumstance that three candi-
dates were voted for, no one of whom re-
ceived majority of oil the votes cast
The returns give Littledeld (Rep.) $3.50;
Kimball fDem 300; Howard QDd 2S14
The Legislature, which lie strongly Repub-
lican In both branches, will elect no. only
the Governor, but also successor to Senator
Burnside, both of whom, of course, will be
Republicans.

THERE is barely an announcement that the
Republicans failed to carry New Jersey, IS
predicted yesterday. As New Jersey is a
Republican State and ranged itself in the
Hayes column in 1870. its detection from the
party 10 1880 is by no means encouraging.-
Independent. -3."
The above is sampled to test the quantum
of truth contained in the average political
paragraph occupying the editorial space of
the Bourbon journal.
First There has been no announcement
of an election In New Jersey.
Second. No electians town. municipal, or
general has recently been held In the State.
Third. New Jersey d clsssed as Demo
cratic State. in the sense Of having Demo
cratic Governor, elected In 1877.
Fourth. New Jersey did not range itself
In the Hayes columa In 1875; to the con-
trary, the State gave its electoral vote to Til
den. t,ra,fat
With these slight alterations the paragraph
may be accepted as correct.

GRATITUDE or MONTANA.

There was a time, not many months ago,
when every one living In Montana who used
wood or timber taken from the public do
main was threatened with suit and fine for
trespass, and surely our people cannot have
forgotten through whose powerful advocacy
their deliverance was effected. Then the
name Of Senator Blaine was in the mouth of
everybody. If our people could have voted
then for the Presidency -fourths of them
at least would have shown their grateful ap-
probation of his services by their votes.
What has happened since to show that he is
not just as worthy of their confidence and
support? Are our people so forgetful of
benefits received? Would we be deserving
of friends if we treat them with base ingrat-
itude? Our two votes at Chicago will not
decide the nomination, but they may 20 far
to show the country what kind of people we
the friends they have are the ones likely to
secure more. If another crisis in our for
tunes like that of the timber raid should be-
fall us to-day, and we should need an advo-
cate in Congress, to whom would we all look
except to the Senator from Maine? Who
knows better than our Delegate the value of
the services rendered, the difficulty of max
ing our situation known? Over and again
has Major Maginnis testified to this indebted
ness to Senator Blaine for being able to ac-
complish what vas needed for this Territory
Who, if chosen President, of all who have
been named for the Office by either party
knows our situation and wants so we'll as
James G. Blaine, and would be disposed to
do SO much for us? 1t seems to US that any
one who can satisfactorily answer this ques-
ton will have very little difficulty to decide
how our votes should be cast If it is an
open question anywhere it ought not to be in
Montana. Gratitude for services rendered
and confidence in those to be received unite
10 determine our preferences and votes and
cave no reason for doubt or'second choice. |
We believe General Grant, who is distin-
yuished for this trait of being true to his |
friends, would respect us more for supporting |
Blaine in acknowledgment of his great SER
7ices than if we voted for him.

ALANK A.

There is quite % chorus of complaints from
..le Eastern press over the necessity of fur
nishing q government for Alaska. The small
population is mentioned as not justifying the
trouble and expense The necessity of some
sort of civil or military government in that
distant and neglected country has been made
strikingly apparent on several occasions, and
once ut least the citizens were forced to call
upon the authorities of British Columbia for
help. AS our government has assumed to it,
self the right to inaugurate civil government,
it is its duty to attend to its business without
stopping to count the cost No matter if
there; rights and duties do not depend upon
numbers. The isolation of that country
renders it the more necessary. A bill to es-
tablish Territorial government is now be-
fore Congress, and if there was ever neces-
sity for such government the reasons all
hold with even increased force in this case.
The white residents are few of them accus-
toned to elf-government, but look to have it
set up for them. Here is case where it
might be kindness to send out officials from
the States. We presume there is not a rush
for official positions in Alaska or there would
have been a government established years
ago. With all the surs cast upon this bleak,
barren and distant possession of the United
States, We have never lacked faith that its
HoxS no OH 10 ;pl to
the wisdom of Secretary Seward in its pur-
chase Its value for fisheries, timber and furs
is known to certain degree already, but we
are confident further that valuable mines will
be discovered. 1t contains portion of that
great mountain chain that from Cape Horn,
all through the length of South, Central and
North America, wherever it has been ex-
plored, has proved rich in mineral wealth.
The same metalferous chain crosses the North
Pacific by the Aleutian Islands, and spreads
ov Northern Asia, embracing the rich and
extensive mines of Liberia.
1t may be n long time before the full value
of our Russian purchase is known, but the
steady movement of population in our own
country towards the Pacific coast, the early
completion of the North Pacific and Cana
dian Pacific railroads, the rejuvenation of the
Japanese and possibly Of the Chinese, all
point with unerring certainty to the coming
Of time, not very distant, when the COM
merce of the Pacific will be increased thou
sand fold. Then the resources of Alaska
will pour bounteous stream of wealth into
the p of commerce, and repay all the orig
inal and subsequent outlays with interest.
Let no short-sighted policy excuse present
neglect of so Gle u duty as giving to Alaska
a stable, regular government, and ample pro-
lection for individual enterprise to develop
its resources.

The San Francisco Alta says that with
in the last five years that city has spent $685.
000, 900, collected by assessments on mining
stocks, for work that has not paid $5. 600, 900,
and with all its yield and present true value
Is not worth $4,000, 900. More than 80 per
cent. of the expenditure has gone into mines
that have never paid dividend, and 10 per
cent. more has gone into other mines, in
which the assessments have exceeded the
dividends.

DEGEN ERACY.

IL 10 ACAuoi hcu dS slSH Va LuOueTu ueRcu'
eracy, and with evident disapprobation, by
one who is in position to, inculcate better
principles, that one Congressman can now
call another liar without deadly meeting
and possible funeral as a consequence We
prefer to consider it as decisive symptom of
receding barbarism. When there is genuine
issue of veracity there are surely better meth
DDS of determining it, if it is worth solving,
than to start out on the irrelevant and more
criminal role of murderer or suicide. We
fail to see how one offense is to be expiated
by the commission of greater one. Leav-
ing out of view and application the Christian
standard of morality, there is something so
illogical and irrational in attempting to settle
one issue by raising a new one that we are
simply amazed that full grown men of ordi-
nary intelligence should ever have counte.
nanced 90 puerile as we'll as criminal prac-
tice. 1t is disgraceful enough for Congress
man to shake his fist at another and call him
a liar. 1t is hardly deserving of death, how
ever. If man will do such a boyish thing
we think he ought to receive boys punish
ment and be publicly spanked. If Congress-
men ever become civilized, not to say Chris
tianized, we presume such parliamentary
conduct and speech will be punished by ex-
pulsion as more becoming the dignity of such
body. A man who has no better sense of
propriety and no more control over his pas
sions than to indulge in such unseemly be-
havior ought not to be considered fit asso-
ciate for gentlemen. He ought to be sent
back to his constituents for trial and punish
ment.
Whether statement is false or true is
purely an intellectual issue, incapable by its
nature to be decided by fists or pistols, and
the mixing of passion into the consideration
only confuses and obstructs the way to a set
tlement If men will be 30 silly as to think
such questions can be settled physically, we
say it is better to fight with fists than with
swords or pistols, and if one or both combat
tants get rolled in the dust, clothes torn, eyes
backened, and noses bled, it will only be
the more suitable to the dirty business in
which they are engaged. There is always
chance in such cases that the participants
will survive and become ashamed of them
selves and ask pardon of the public. Cour-
age we will concede is necessary to high
grade of manhood. But the high moral cour-
age that impels man to make public ac-
of improper language and
conduct, to ask the pardon of one injured, is
infinitely more creditable and exalting to
human nature. If man is justly accused he
ought to b. ar his punishment meekly and win
his way back to public esteem by deserving
it. If unjustly accused, the truth is easily
If he has not the highest rank
of courage to forgive his enemy, there is a
whole armory of more effecti're Weapons
than pistol, knife or fist. While society is
far from being regenerete J, We see no reason
10 think it is degenerating.
