JAMES G.. BLAINE

James G.. Blaine has met with a second
disappointment, and has probably come to
the conclusion ere this that be will never be
President of the United States. Four years
ago he made gallant fight for the nomina-
ton. He started on the first ballot with
more than double the number of votes that
any of his competitors received, and retained
his position for six ballots. On the seventh
there was break, and the adherents of all
the other Candidates rushed pell-men for
Hayes, the man considered above all others
as the least likely to receive the nomination
Mr.. Hayes was nominated by five majority,
while Mr.. Blaine lacked twenty-eight of the
requisite number.
In the Chicago convention Mr.. Blaine
was favorite candidate. True, he did not
have plurality, as he did four years ago,
but he pressed Gen. Grant very hard for
the first place, and his friends were conf
dent of success up to the moment of defeat.
His adherents were firm in their allegiance
through all the thirty-fve ballots that pre-
ceded the fatal thirty sixth. Then their
fidelity ceased, and there was grand STAN
pede for Garfield. ''Anybody to beat Grant, %
was the cry, and second, though slightly
improved. edition of Hayes, was placed in
nomination by clear majority of twenty.
Mr.. Blaine may as well make up his mind
to the fact that the people will never elevate
him to the position he has so long coveted,
nor yet favor him with the empty honor of
a nomination on the Republican ticket. The
party is willing enough to use him; it is not
willing to reward him proportionally with
his services. No man in the Republican
party has more truly or more ably repre-
scented the sentiments of the masses than
he. He has been foremost in the arena of
debate, always ready for a contest with his
opponents, aggressive, audacious. When
Others failed to provoke debate, Blaine was
almost always successful, and though he was
sometimes worsted he always emerged from
the contest covered with fresh laurels, the
reward of his daring and ability.
Mr.. Blaine has been useful man to the
Republican party in the past. While others

A Puzzle with Words.

Students at the Institute of Technol-
ogy have designed rival to the Gem
puzzle, which is beginning to excite
considerable interest about town. Given
two words of an equal number of letters,
the problem is to change one to the
other by altering one letter at time Of
the first so as to make legitimate En-
glish word, continuing the alterations
until the desired result is attained. The
conditions are that only one letter shall
be altered to form each new word, and
that none but words which can be found
in English dictionaries shall be used
Here are some examples of the changes
East to West-East, vast, vest, West.
Boot to Shoe-Boot, SCOT, shot, Shoe.
Dog to Cat-Dog, dig, fig, fit, fat,
Cat.
Milk to Hash-Milk, mile, male, mate,
hate, hath, Hash.
Road to Railroad, rood, root, coot,
coat, coal, coil, toll, tail, Rail.
Soup to Fish-Soup, soul, soil, foil,
fowl, fool, foot, coot, cost, cast, fast,
fist, Fish.
The game is becoming quite popular
in railroad offices as well as in family
circles and at fresides, and seems to
furnish instruction with amusement

THE ORIoAGO N0MLNEE.

The die is cast, as far as the Republican
party is concerned. By combinations be-
tween the adherents of Blaine, Sherman,
Washburne and Edmunds, the Senatorial
trio that thought to foist Grant upon the
country for third time was defeated, and
James Abraham Garfield, present represen-
tative from the nineteenth Ohio district,
and Senator elect, was placed in nomina-
ton for the Presidency of the United States.
The outcome was no less surprise to Mr..
Garfield than it was to the country at large.
1t cannot be denied that the nomination
is q strong one. MIR. Garfield has been long
in public life, and the fact that he is yet in
moderate circumstances will be generally ac-
cepted as proof that he is personally honest.
He is certainly popular in Ohio, and
would probably carry the State with
greater ease than any of the others whose
names came before the convention. Whether
his popularity extends beyond the limits of
his own State is question that will only be
determined when the votes are counted. At
any rate he has fewer active enemies and
more earnest friends than either Grant,
Blaine or Sherman. His political record is
vulnerable, and he and his friends may have
a good deal to explain before the campaign
is ended. But they will not have as many
explanations to make as would the sup
porters of either of the candidates most pro-
minentIy named in connection with the nom
ination.
While couceding Garfeld's strength as a
candidate, the GLOBE is decidedly of the
opinion that he can be easily beaten by the
nominee to be made at Cincinnati on the
22d, provided no serious blunder is made.
With good candidate. unfettered by an OBJ
iectionable public record, there seems to be
no reason to fear that the party which gave
Tilden nearly three hundred thousand ma
jority on the popular vote, and majority of
twenty-three on the electoral vote in 1876,
will lose ground in 1880. The party is
stronger to day than it has ever been before,
and will demonstrate its strength at the polls
in November. And if Mr.. Garfield should
be defeated there as Mr.. Hayes was defeated
four years ago, no eight to seven commission
can seat him in the Presidential chair. Of
this Mr.. field and his supporters may as
we'll be advised first as last.
1t is not probable that Mr.. Garfeld's nom-
NATION will awaken a great deal of enthu-
siasm. There are too many sorehaads in the
party-men who had set their hearts upon
the success of this or that favorite, and
naturally feel disappointed at the result, and
indignant at the successful competitor. At
the South he cannot hope for an electoral
vote. At the North he will lose the States
of New York, New Jersey, Indiana, and pos
sibly Connecticut. This is presuming, of
course, that the Democratic convention at
Cincinnati makes no fatal blunder by NOM
mating man for President who does not
possess the confidence of the people at large
AS the capacity of the Democratic party in
the past has seemed to be unlimited, the
GLOBE refrains from more than conditional
predictions until the convention of the party
shall have closed.

RAsRRuRNK,s PRRFlDF.

In the beginning of the canvass for the
Republican Presidential nomination, Mr..
Elihu B. WashbuIne declared himself as q
firm friend of Grant, and an advocate of his
nomination. He iterated and reiterated his
declaration until people generally began to
believe that he was sincere in his attachment
to the man who gave him his greatest dis
tinction in American politics. But in many
of the States delegates to the convention at
Chicago were chosen on the express un-
derstanding that they would cast their votes
for Washburne, and no remonstrance came
from the chief of the noted clan of Office
holders. The public supposed that he &C
guessed simply because of a desire to help
Grant, and expected that, when the critical
moment arrived, he would turn his following
to Grant. The proceedings of the convention
show, however, that Washburne had no
such intention. He was greedy of the dis
tinction of Presidential nomination, and
could be counted among the array of dark

THE NOMINEE FOR VIoE PRESIDENT.

THE NOMINEE FOR VICE president.
The nomination of Chester A. Arthur, of
New York, for Vice President, was intended
by the Chicago convention as sop to Conk-
Iing-a salve to heal his wounded pride. Mr..
Conkling had set his heart upon the nomi-
nation of Grant for the Presidency, and had
staked his all upon the issue. He made a
gallant fight, but was beaten. AS a matter
currence of the convention in the decision
of the majority, though it must have cost
him pang to do 80. The convention en-
deavored to reciprocate by placing in nomi-
nation for the second place protege of the
Senator, in whose behalf he braved the dis
pleasure of Mr.. Hayes and Mr.. Sherman,
and fought them in the Senate for weeks to-
gether. 1t is hardly likely that this
little sop will appease the wrath which
the New York statesman must feel, or that
it will induce him to put forth any extraor-
binary efforts to carry the State of New
York for the Republican ticket.
MIR. Arthur possesses none OF the qualln-
cations for the position to which he has
been nominated. He was collector of the
port of New York for a number of years,
and was removed ''for cause" The precise
cause has never been divulged, as the docu-
ments in proof of his guilt were submitted
only to the Senate in executive session. 1t
is sufficient that they were conclusive, how
ever, from the fact that the Senate, after
twice having refused to remove him, acqui-
esced in the recommendations of Messrs.
Hayes and Sherman.
With almost any other man than Arthur
at the tail of the ticket, the one nominated
yesterday would be reasonably strong. With
such character upon it, its weakness will
be generally recognized.

A young lady who resides In that part
of Pennsylvania which is called &c the
Switzerland of America has a Sunday
school class of rather bright boys, aver
aging between 7 and 8 years, Recently
she requested each pupil to come on the
following Sunday with some passages
of scripture bearing upon love. The
lads needed the request, and, in turn,
recited their verses bearing upon the
popular topic, such as, ."Loye your
enemies" "Little children, love one
another" etc. The teacher said to the
boy whose turn came last (: "Well, Rob-
bic, what is your verse?" ~
Raising himself up, he responded /:
"Song of Solomon, second chapter, fifth
verse {: Stay me with fagons, comfort
me with apples: for / am sick of love. Z"

The nomination of Gen. James A. Gar
field of Ohio for the Presidency by the Chi
cago convention yesterday, was an outcome
that will doubtless surprise most of those
not present at the convention. 1t was one
of those peculiar accidents which, after they
have occurred, seem to have almost been in
evitable from the opening of the convention.
Gen. Garfield was favorite from the open
ing to the close. John Sherman was not a
favorite, and there was reasonable certainty
from the start that either Governor Foster,
of Ohio, would be nominated for Vice Presi-
dent, OF that Gen. Garfield would b. the
compromise candidate for President. The
deadlock developed by the balloting pro-
duced the latter result.
There was strong feeling against the
third term in the convention, and that feel
ing was famed and encouraged by the other
candidates until it was the field against
Grant, with almost certainty that Grant
would defeat the field unless new man
was brought out to unite the discordant
friends of other would-be candidates. This
proved to be Garfeld's opportunity. If he
had not been in the convention he would not
have been chosen. When John Sherman
selected Garfield to lead bis forces, he prac-
tically made him the nominee. He is man
of more ability and more popularity than
Sherman and has q better war record than
Sherman can claim.
General Garfield as a Presidential candi-
date is strong man. The Democrats may
as well acknowledge this at the outset and
govern themselves accordingly. He is emil
nently stronger in Ohio where there is a vital
October election, than any of the other can
didates named, and will make better run
before the whole country than either Grant
or Blaine, and his nomination, too,
removes much of the bitterness which
would have followed the selection of either
Grant or Blaine, and his selection renders it
important to make Ohio the battle ground
in October, and to this end the Cincinnati
convention will quite likely select their can
didate FROM the same State. The Republi-
cans have done better than they hoped or
expected in throwing overheard all of the
candidates and making spontaneous rush
for new man. If the Democrats would
win they must make no mistake at Cincin-

noon to-day, AID permanent organization
was effected by the election of B. A. Floe, of
Madison, chairman. After the recess the fol-
lowing delegates, from the State at large, to
the Cincinnati convention, were elected:
Maj. Thos. O'Connor, of Knox, ex-governor
James d. Porter, of Henry,
and W. 81. Carroll, of Shelby. The
general sentiment of the delegates selected is
for the most available candidate. Most of them
express personal preference for Bayard, Thur
man, Seymour or Field, but will vote for the
best material presented. There are not more
than one or two Tilden men in the delegation.
A contest was had over the admission of two
delegations from Wilson county. The repudi-
alton faction bolted when a discussion wss
made to admit both delegations.

0uinine in Whoopihg.Cough.

Quinineis again strongly recommended
as certain and speedy cure for whoop-
ing-cough. DIR. Fl. A. Mott, who has
been experimenting with his own chill
dren as well as many others, states, in a
paper recently read before the New York
Academy of Sciences, that the best time
to administer it is just after coughing
spell and just before retiring at night.
As regards the size of the dose, this
should depend on the age and severity
of the case. From three to five grains
of powdered quinine can be put on the
tongue of a grown person and allowed to
dissolve. For child from three to five
grains may be dissolved in two ounces
of sugar and water, and one teaspoonful
can be given as stated above. The sugar
and water help to keep it longer in con.
tact with the parts. Quinine admins
tered in gelatine or sugar-coated pills Is
of no use whatever.

The Constellation.

The old frigate Constellation, which
carried cargo of food and clothing for
the starving in ireland, is almost as well
known in American naval history as the
famous Constitution, whose repeated
victories earned for her the name Of "Old
honsides." The Constellation was
one of several war vessels launched in
1898, when the renown of Paul Jones'
great sea-fght yet fired the sailors of the
young republic differentiation. England
was as yet unconquered on the sea,
and British brig was counted a
match for a f1igate of any other nation.
It was the Constellation, and her Sis
ter ships built in the same year, that, in
the war of 1912, fairly Eastonished the
world by meeting the British frigates
single handed and forcing them to strike
their flags. e' .p9Evitei
