SECOND EDITION.
SECRETARY BLAINE.
The Prob ability Of His Remain.
Ing in the Cabinet,

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 10 Dur
ing the past twenty four hours the
friends of Secretary Blaine have been
quietly at work to ascertain whether
the President is really anxious to re-
tam him in the Cabinet at present, or
whether h. has gone SO far AZ to look
around for his successor. AS the
result Of their inquiries they say to-day
that no immediate charge in the State
Department may be looked for, and
that the Secretary will respect the
wishes OF the President and remain for
the present.
In talking about this matter one of
Secretary Blane's warmest friends in
the Senate said to your correspondent,
this morning: "From all | can learn
don't believe the President has fully
determined il his own mind yet what
Cabinet changes to make. As friend
of Senator Blaine shall say to Presi-
dent Arthur, the first opportunity that
offers, that if he wants to do mag
unanimous political act, one that will
silence ali criticism among several
hundred thousand devoted Republicans
he will ask Mr.. Blaine to become
permanent member of his Cabinet. 1t
may be asked, Would Mr.. Blaine con-
sent to remain if the President asks
him to do so?
"Now my relations with Mr.. Blaine
are such that feel authorized to say
that if President Arthur requests him
in all sincerity to continue in the Cab
met, and in manner which carries
conviction, he will forget all person
ality and respond as patriot by
accepting the offer. If this should
happen Mr. Blaine would be as true a
friend and as devoted q follower Of
President Arthur as he was of the late
President Garfield, and he woul,; con
tribute his best energies to manng the
new Administration success. Mr..
Blaine has felt deeply-more deeply |
than the world has any idea ot--Sht |
tragic events of the rast three months,
and l know, because hear ii from his
own lips, that his political amoition is
satisfied, and he will never again seek
political lvanc amont from the Repub-
lican party. He will never again
become a candidate for nomination to
the Presidency, and if he remain in the
Cabinet, il is not too much TO say that |
believe he will be foremost in advoca
ting the reelection of President Arthur
three years from this time"
These are the sentiments of one who
is recognized friend of Secretary
Blaine, and who would not speak so
strongly did lie not know that his Ut
terances would receive that gentleman
approval.

The Outrage 10 n umsted.
- 4 H. I,I,


From the time they concocted their
scheme OF usurpation until the hour
they cdhsummated it the Democratic
Senators have been able to find no pre-
cetlent In Senate usage under the rule
OF any party to justify their high hand
ed course. The weight of precedent is
against them, the moral view of the
case is against hem, common sense is
against their, the will of the people is
against them, the Constitution is
against them. Only the right of might
il with them. Guiteau gave them a
chance for q hideous prostitution of
power, and they were just big enough
to use it.
New York and Rhode Island had
done all they ever could do to claim
their equal suffrage in the Senate. Two
Senators elect from New York and one
from Rhode Island stood there with
their credentials in due form, asking
to he swo.1 in.
Every Democratic Senator knew that
neither of them could be fatty refused
admission for an indefinite period, and
that al. of them would, at some time,
have to be let in.
But work Lad been cut out which
would have been spoiled if New York
and Rhode Island had been admitted
to their constitutional rights, and the
will of the Democratic caucus prevailed
over decency, precedent and the Con
sttuIion OF the United States. There
were Democrats on the iloor who, il the
caucus had adniitted the wrong, but
not one OF them had the honesty aud
courage to support right.
The present advantage which the Re.
publcans lose by the Democratic grab
is very Slight rs compared with the
infamy which it stamps upon the Dem
ocrat'c party. 1t is tue best kind of
material for campaign use, for it is
another lesson on Democratic respect
for the Constitution, another warning
Of the people that they cannot afford to
trust the Democratic party with any
power, however slight.
