more, polled 81, 53S votes; agsin, in
1860, with John Bell AS its candidate,
o9,5S1 votes. In 1876 the Greenback-
ers, with the central purpose of making
our circulating medium an unredeema-
bic paper currency, led by Peter Cooper,
polied 81, 740 votes, and again In 1880,
with James b. Weaver at the head,
of the column, 307. 500 votes. The Tenn
perance or Prohibition party, with the
one object of curt&iling by law or pro-
bibiting the use of alcoholic stimulants,
headed by James B. Black, in 1872,
polled 5,60S votes, and in 1876, under
the candidacy of Green Clay Smith.

there was a reason for action which
could not be misunderstood, and an OBJ
ject proposed to be accomplished. The
candidacy of Ex-Governor st. John has
now radical purpose which every sup
porter OF his sees as plainly as the lead

campaign appears to mean nothing 1t
looks mainly to the labor Organizations
OF the country Tor support. While these
are important. their membership, as
compared with the whole body of the
industrial classes, is not great. They
are asked to throw their votes away, for
not one of them has the slightest hope
of General Buffers election. That they
will. without a tangible object, general
ly do this is extremely improbable. 1t
is certain that but cOmnarativalv few
will do it. The mass OF persons COM
posing the labor organization, so far as
is known, are not much bound by the
ties of party. But, like others, they are
not inclined to lose their votes on i'm
possible candidates. The Butler move
ment does not, therefore, promise any
serious consequences to either party,
and, so far as can now be judged, threat
ems no disadvantages to the Democrats.

The ''IriSh UndertOW."

One of Blaine's leading organs, the
Philadelphia Press, has an editorial
headed The Irish Und rtow for
Blaine" which undertakes to prove that
the great body of Irishmen will vote the
Republican ticket. The figure, Irish
Undertow," is bad. The Press may APP
ply it to the Republican party, but it
can not consistently speak of the Irish
in this connection.
What is an undertow?
When the sea is calm and beautiful
above, when its appearance invites n
DIP into its cooling waters, there is Turk
ing beneath treacherous and deadly
current, and when the bather enters it is
the stealthy and unseen undertow that
carries him to his death. There is no
Irish undertow for Blaine or any
one else. The figure is false to the ma
ture of the true Irishman. All nation
alities have their characteristics, but
to liken the freshman to that hidden
death of the sea, which is always called
treacherous, is an insult to his name and
slur upon the island on which he was
born.
1t is rather characteristic of the Irish.

waves whose breaking upon adamant
WI at last wear it away; ike the waves
which, when they give the blow, are
scattered. indeed but the broken rem

fought against tyranny; So as be fought
for right; so has he fought for Dcmoc

yet always where he can be seen, he haf
been like those pillows whose beating al

the channel to the haven of liberty.

no undertow in the true Irishman' nat.

''Irish undertow" Blaine is welcome to

A BlaineiSh Defense.

We believe that ex-Judge E. Rock
wood Hoar has conducted himself W til
average ability and fairness on the
bench and at the bar, and. it therefore
strikes us with greater surprise and re-
gret that he should pettifog on the po-,
litical stump. In his speech at Wor-
cester he said: HE was not going to
defend Mr.. Blaine against attacks on
his private character, or against assaults
on him as man or statesman. The
time for that had passed a great while
ago. These charges might have been
made when he was nominated Secretary
OF State, but he was confirmed by the
unanimous vote of the Senate, Demo-
Gratis ana Republicans. Ii an ordinary
man, giving to the theory or practice of
American politics very little thought,
had said that. we should not have been
surprised, for on the face OF it it has a
far-away resemblance to words of truth
and soberness. But Judge Hoar can
not help Knowing that he made any
thing but a fair representation OF the
case. When a President makes up his
Cabinet, he is simply putting in order
an important part of the machinery of
his Administration, and would be re-
garded IS a snub and criticised by
the press as wanton attempt of the
opposition to antagonize his Admins
tration at the start, if his leading min
isterial appointments were to be reject
ed. TIE very fact that Democrats voted
to confirm Blaine shows that his char
acter and record were not considered.
The almost invariable precedent of
courtesy to the President was strictly
followed, and this is almost invariably
right, for the President is held respon-
sible for the acts OF his Minister and ac-
cepts that responsibility. The Senate
also confirmed Chandler; but if Chand-
Ter should be nominated for the Presi-
dency by the Republican party-a not
impossible next step after Blaine
would the American people, Republic
ans and Democrats. be thereby estopped
from critical discussion of his charae-

FOUR NILES AHEAD.

With hopes and with fears we sent him forth,
And they wintered there in the frozen North;
Two winters they spent in the Arctic zone,
Where slowly they persisted, and one by one;
But surely we ought to be well content,
As toward the pole our explorers went,
And they marked the exploration line
Four miles abe id.
o. but the record is wondrous fine,
With nineteen dead.
How many is that to the mile? Hold onl
The record is made and the work is done.
Though most of them persisted along the track,
We ought TO be thankful thar six came back.
OF course we must count upon toll and pain;
But think of the record and think of the gain !!
We have passed beyond the British mark,
-Four miles ahead
And here and yOnder are cold and stark
Our nineteen dead.
Where is the man who made the mark?
Turn over the lcaf-that page is dark.
He made it-that's glory enough for him.
Though cold is his flesh and his eyes are dim
Some lives must be offered for such gain,
And think on our right to be proud and vain.
He has planted our flag on the nOrthward
track
Four miles ahead.
Well. !et us be thankful that six came back,
And God help the dead.
