PUBLIC OPINION.
BLAINE, OF MAINE.


In Maine Mr.. Blaine feels a loss of cousid-
Grafton on account of his private station.
| The younger men of his party are pushing
| themselves forward, aud are glad of any OPP
portunity to teach him that there ia no office
| for him in or from the State of Maine.-Ldn.
caster (Pd.) Intelageneer.
ARTHUR NOT EXCITED ABOUT IT.
In response TO a suggestion that the
parallel between the whisky ring trials and
the Star-route trials fails in an important
particular, viz, the attitude of the President
of the United States, we admit the fact.
| President Arthur is evidently not in a per-
sonal worry about the Star-routers.-Cia
cinnati Commercial, Rep.
HAYES FORGOTTEN.
No man who had filled the presidential
Office was ever before permitted to sink SO
suddenly and completely as the ex-incum-
bent Hayes. His partisan friends scarcely
ever refer to him now, except with
| some contemptuous alIusion to the great
fraud of which he was the benz ficiary. One
of them the other day suggested that he
| ought 10 be elected to Congress from his
district, and then counted out, Ia mode,
seven to eight.-New York Sun.
PATTIsoN's GOOD QUALITIES.
A Republican newspaper in Philadelphia
says of Pattison, the Democratic nominee
LOT governor OIL IeQQ5ylFdDld. mas not
single qualification for the position of gov
ernor, except that he is intelligent, has a
high-school education, and ia honest" 1t
strikes US that those are pretty good qualifi-
cations tor governor, but of coarse we are
willing to admit that Republican paper
may consider honesty and intelligence very
small recommendations.-lo Register.
MIR. BLAINE A FAEoRrrE.
Mr.. Blaine is still here, looking as hand
some and az much favorite as ever. His
hair is almost white, but his face has not
grown old, and his dark eyes kindly
and as brilliant ever. Even Don Cameron
cannot but acknowledge that Mr.. Blaine ia
handsome man, and it is whispered abroad
that ere. long the day will come when the lion
and lamb will forget their grievances and be
as peaceful and as merry together as lot of
lawyers on frolic.-Saratoga Cor. Nep York
Express.
THE CANVASS IN DELAWARE.
The Philadelphia Times is evidently learn
ing something. A few weeks ago il con-
ceived that the people of Delaware were
going TO defeat Curry, the Stalwart Repubi-
can candidate for governor, and elect Wash
ington Hastings, the Half-breed candidate
for Congress. Now it believes that the entire
machine ticket will be defeated, which opin-
ion is certainly more sensible than its first
impression. Nothing would please the Stall
warts better than to elect Curry. and defeat
Hastings, but as the latter's friends will also
take a hand in the cut-throat game, the result
can be easily foretold. Even If the party
was thoroughly united it could not beat the
Democratic nominees, and as affairs are going
the Republican defeat seems likely to degen-
crate into total route Wilmington Gazette.
EX-SENATOR THURMAN, OF OHIO.
A familiar figure here is that of Ex-Sen-
ator Thurman, of Ohio. He does not look
as he did ten years ago in Washington. He
is tall and inclined to- be stout. His hair and
beard are white. He looks comfort able and
contented, mot that he is contented. Who ever
saw j man with bee in his bonnet that was?
1t has been demonstrated 10 Mr. Thurman
during The past twenty five years that of all
men he is the one for president. He knows
it. He is thoroughly convinced of it, and
nothing but death or defeat at the, polls can
drive the idea from his mind. He reads and
smokes and chats and whites away the hours
as best he may, but ten to one he wonders
whether lightning may not perhaps be kind
at last and give him a chance to show what
a great man he really is.-Long Branch
