James G. Blaine for 1884.

this the nomination of James G. Blaine as the
next Republican candidate for the Presidency
He has it is true, declared that he is no longer
ambitious. We can well understand his feel

most distinguished victim of this conspiracy
He was the first martyrto the national machine
after it had attained the distinction of being
ran by a Presidential boss. Six years ago he
would have been nominated if Boss Conkling
had not intrigued against him. Two years ago

Suishcd ability is not questioned. His distin-
guishtd party and national service j. confessed.

patriotism and integrity are challenged by no
loyal or honest man. He is beloved and hon
