country by appeals to sectlOnalism, but
The Union Is restored despite him and

perhaps best for the true patriotism OF
the country that such men rs Blaine
are "kicking sgainst the pl icks.n Had
hehidden his disappointment, he might
have fomented discord In tho future,
but he and his following are now
known. The true feeling of the oouA-
try Is represented in these words from
Harper'a Weekly; "Ihe argument
which has been often presented, but
which has not hitherto seemed 10 us
very foroible, Is now seen TO be very
strong, that change for the sake Of
change may be desirAble.n Democrats
have long pointed out the danger In
such ascendancy as the Republi-
cans welded, and contended that the
party acted as II the government
belonged to It and not TO the people.
Frank Blair gave exaggerated utter.
ance to this truth when he said that
Grant, then the symbol of Republican
ism, would have to be gotten on. Of

was no fault of a large number Of able
and influential Republicans that there
was not a tragicAl realization of BIr.
Blair's words, aud to-day peseeabe
