elected by 10000 plurality. and their candidate

EX-Secretary Blaine stated to Il personal
friend in Boston Oh Friday: Il wish it dis
tincty understood that | am not candidate for
the presidency or any other political office and
nothing can induce me TO become So" The Bos-
ton journal OF Saturday morning published the
following statement concerning the views Of
Mr.. Blaine on the political situation:
Those who talk with Mr.. Blaine upon politi-
cal subjects will learn that he is neithera croak-
er nor sorehead. They will learn from him
that he does not see in Tuesdays revcrses any
thing to cause dependency respecting the flu
ture Of the Republican party. The defeat is
be made to result in good to the party. The
Democratic party suffered an overwhelming de-
feat i'll 1910. but carried the election of 1874.
The Republican party was practically beaten in
several of the most important northern States
in 1862 but Lincoln carried all but one or two
in 1864.
He believes victory may be achieved in 1884
by presenting As candidate for President. Il
man upon whom both factions can unite and
who has the confidence of the country. and TO
the accomplishment of that result his influence
as a private citizen, who believes Republican
success in 1884 is essential to the welfare of the
country, will be given. 1t should be distinctly
understood that Mr.. Blaine does not authorize
the publication of the above statement In fact
he was not consulted in reference to its publica-
ton. 1t is. however. the gst of his CONVERSE
ton with personal and political friends who
have recently met him.

Judging from the names given of association

to compare notes as to their bar gains. 1t was,
however, the Bee Keepers and not the Bar
Keepers who met, and surely there must have
been bee in the bonnet of the chap who put

other for assistance in subduing Il refractory
