BLAINE AND TIE STAR RourERs,


Nearly eyey movement to draw the
cover away from the still hidden Star
route scandals from the bold robberies
by the connIyance Of high Republican
officials TO the miserable naeco OF the
late trials, has been checked In some
unknown manner, but with unquestion.
able indications that Blaine was shut
up inside. The late James W. Bosler, q
most influential and important member

SEYMOUR AND ALLEN g,

In 1868 Seymour was nominated for
the Presidency At the suggestion Of the
Ohio delegation, notwithstanding he
hud announced he was not candidate
aud Notwithstanding majority Of the
New York delegation were opposed to
him. II might happen In 1884 that
Judge Thurman be nominated for the
same high Office, even though some of
The Ohio delegation are opposed to him
The reason Is this. Such men as these
do not belong to any state, but the peo-
pie Of the whole United States are proud
TO claim them ~ theirs.
