If all this while Mr.. Blaine has secretly
had an understanding with Cameron and
Grant, il is the most cruel outrage ever
put upon body of devoted partisans. La
Pennsylyania Mr.. BlaIne's friends braved
all the terrors of the machine and resisted
all the temptations of the Ring, and they
would have swept the ground from under
the Camerons had they not been held back
and apparently sold out by Mr.. Blaine {
trusted representatives. Was he privy tc
the surrender? Was it premeditated and
prearranged? Did Bingham and Hayes
speak for him or notf
Mr.. Blaine can take :either horn of the
dilemma. IF the Harrisburg affair was oil
his own coDtriving, then did he deliberately
betray his own followers. If it was not oil
his contriving, he was either grossly de
ceiVed by the men he trusted most, or his
personal timidity and Incompetence are
such as have never been. heretofore sus-
pected.
While these questions remain unaus
wered, the hearts that have rallied under
his standard must grow fainter and faint
or. With very fair prospect that the
history of the Pennsylvania struggle viii
will be repeated in New York, it seems TO
be about time for Mr.. Blaine to speak out
Does he mean to fight. or is he to run? Il
he o candidate in earnest. or has he
privately given in his submission TO the
third term project? Is he in the field to
win, or only to prevent some holder and
better man from winning?

The N. Y. Express saws that;


In view of the fact that ''personalism'
has caused the troubles tof the past anC
the present humiliation, and is the sol.
element of weakness and division, it vii
occur to every Democrat who cares any
thing for the principles and success of the
Democracy that it is about time this often
Eive and damaging "personalism" were goi
rid of. Let an end be made of it. The
Democracy cannot afford to be sacrificed
for any person.on earth.
The Express is john Kelly's paper and
is supposed TO voice his sentiments. 1t is
refreshing. to say the least, to listen to
the lament of John Kelly. OF all who
deplore personalism there is no man in the
Democrats party who is more directly
responsible for that same ''personalism'
which has caused the troubles of the past
and the present humiliation of the Dem.
ocracy in New York. It was John Kelly,
who, to crafty personal spite against Mr..
Tilden. defeated the regular nominee oil
the party. Gov. Robinson, and it is John
Kelly who is shouting his "personaisEs'
and dragging his grieyances(?l into the
contest, even going SO far as to make
the recognition of his "personalisms" the
condition upon which the Tammauy vote
shall be given to the Democracy. 1t is all
very we'll for John Kelly to pirate about
too much 'personalism" in the Democratic
party Of New York. but to the rank and
file of the party in the country at large it
sounds extremely thin. IF there is too
much 'personalism" the first to set the
example of reform should be John Kelly.
He began the trouble through has person
alisms." New Y TX was turned over TO
Cjnkling and his cohorts, and he is direct
ly responsible for the very grievance
which he complains is drawback ~ sue
cess. Iu John Keily's case, reform like
charity should begin at home.

ILLINOIS STATE FAIR.
Efforts Being Made to Secure Its Per-
manent Location.
Fsom the springasld Register. Feby. II.

From the Springfield Register, Feby. IT.
The question Of permanently locating
the State Fair is again upon the tapis, as
it has been during the past ten years
The facts are, that for many years before
the development of railroads in Illinois
the fair was held annually at different
points IN the State where the people would
TT up the grounds and provide suitable
accom- modatioDs. For about fifteen years
this system was justified By the pecuniary
results, and the State Board accumulated
about $4,000, but, during the past ten
years, the itineraut system has proved a
failure, and now the question of a perma
peut location seems to be vital. The fair
was located here in 1879 for two years at
nn expense to our people OF about SIS, 900,
together with the use of our county fair
grounds. which had cost, FIRST and last
not far from $4,000. The Register OPP
poses any attempt to bleed the people of
this city to any extent for permanent
location OF the fair, for the reason that
the State has long abandoned the
idea OF making the people of indi-
vldual cities or counties pay for the
location of the State institutions.
If the fair is State institution. il
should be located here permanently: If IL
is not State institution. the people of the
State should not be taxed cent for its
support

Senator Ingalls, has been exonerated-
ut least the investigating committee hav
ing charge of his case have reported in
favor of his retaining his seat. but the
vindication issof that uncertain nature
which is not calculated to add to his laurels
Although the committee report thai
bribery was not traced to him directly,
still the.fact is plainly established that vast
sums of money were used to secure his
election by his friends. Friendship is q
blessing when it goes to the extent as
practiced in ingalls, case. but there are
few who will believe that the senator from

Titz John Porter.


The project to retry Fitz John Porter
ought to be squelohed He has been tried
enough already. At his last trial, which
was thorough and impartial, q great deal
of proof which was inaccessible nc his first
trial was presented. and the Court was
convinced that he was innocent of the
chsrges preferred against him, and that
he had been uDjustly punished. Now.
what is the use of going all over tina,
ground again? The only objections the
Republicans have to Porter is the fact
that be is a Democrat, and their opposl-
ton to an act of simple justice to a gallant
officer who has been grievously wronged is
purely and eensurably partisan. And
they ought to be ashamed of it.
