DAILY MAILS YET.

Owing to the lack of the necessary
funds to pay for the transportation of
mails, the postmaster general was
obliged to issue an order c~urtailing
the services onall Star Routes-routes
off a railroad-to one mail a week. But
the probability is the order will not
be enforced as the brigadiers have
come to their senses and will vote the
necessary appropriation. Democrats
of Princeton and vicinity. supposing
you were limited to one mail a week,
how would you like it? Here is an
editorial paragraph from the Pioneer
Press, which we cordially endorse:
The good people of Princeton are right
eously indignant at postmaster general
ton Of the star mail service because con
gress has failed to make the necessary ap-
preparation. The grievance of the Prince
ton people is just enough, but they should
discharge their wrath upon congress in
stead OF the postmaster general. A de-
partment officer with a strict regard for
his duty annot incur an obligation which
congress refuses to appropriate money to
meet. The postmaster general not only
did his duty, but he took the best way to
bring congress to terms. The house is
making all haste to pass q deficiency bill,
which will restore to Princeton her daily
mail. a

Pennsylvania for Blaine.

That the republicans of the great
state of Pennsylvania, uninf1uenced by
party machinery OF local interest, are
largely for Hen. Games G. Blaine as
their candidate for President, no
candid man, knowing the facts, can
doubt. The facts are, in brief:
LIST. That, wherever the people were
allowed to elect delegates to the late
state convention at Harrisburg, they
sent pronounced Blaine men, and the
delegates so elected were outvoted by
delegates appointed by the county
committees, who refused to call pri-
mary elections.
I'd. That with this disadvantage,
the majority for the Grant instructions
was so meagre that a change of only
eleven votes would have given the
delegation to Mr.. Blaine.
Sd. That the public opinion is SO
strong against the devices by which
the republicans were forced into their
present position, and in favor Of
Independent action by district dele
gates, that already we have assurances
that more than twenty such delegates
will vote for Mr.. Blaine on the first
ballot in the national convention. and
thereafter be joined by many Others.

ONE MORE CONCENTRATION NEEDED

1t is customary when Presidential can
didate is nominated, for his late rivals to
congratulate him upon his success, and to
give him and the party prompt assurances
that they will support him. No one has
ever accepted this obligation more frankly
or gracefully than Senator Blaine His
quick and hearty Endorsement has twice
followed upon a defeat which might well
have shaken the self-possession of weaker
man. In the late contest in Chicago there
was very much bitterness, but though the
Grant managers stood firmly together to
the last, Senator Conkling never hesitated
to assume the responsibility which de-
volvcd on him by custom, of moving that
the nomination of General Garfield be
made unanimous and General Logan
promptly Endorsed the motion, in proof of
his acquiescence in the situation. Secre-
tary Sherman was almost as quick as
Blaine to congratulate the nominee, and
Washburne's voice was not wanting either.
But one candidate has thus far failed to
comply with the traditional practice, and
that is General Grant. It cannot be sup.
posed that his Silence is due to resentment
or unfriendly feeling, but it is being com
mented upon, and since it is liable to sug-
gest unfavorable conclusions, it would be a
timely and judicious step for him to unite
with all the other defeated candidates in
congatulating the fortunate winner of the
race
