champion of the principles yesterday enunciatcd
and, with Mr. Blaine as its chief standard
bearer the man who represents these principles
more perfectly and completely than any other
the Republican party may count with confidence
on an overwhelming verdict in its favor next
! November
A TIDAL WAVE OF POPULAR SUPPORT,
| Chicago Evening Journal
! ''The Plumed Knight heads the column which
will march on to victory in November No one
need fear defeat under such bold, courageous,
| gallant leadership. The nomination of Mr..
! Blaine assures vigorous and enthusiastic cam
/ paign. The young men as well as many OF the
older men Of the nation are Enthusiastically for
| Blaine They will make it exceedingly lively for
| the other side, and roll up tidal wave of popu-
| lar support and of popular ballots for the brave
! and able man of Maine that will carry him INTO
! the White House with a sweeping majority,
| This may be set down as foregone conclusion
THE STRONG POINT IN THE PLATFORM
Pittsburg Dispatch.
| The strong point of the platform is in its une-
quivocal and earnest enunciation of the principle
| of protection for the benefit of labor. On this
point the record of the party has been consistent
and honest with few slight exceptions. There
is no lodging of the question for the purpose of
| favoring revenue reformers The other clauses
OF the platform show very strong desire to
conclllate the laboring vote and in this too the
| platform is consistent with the main record of
the Republican party. For these features of the
! platform the convention is to be commended.
AN AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN.
| st. Lonis Post Dispatch.
1t will be aggressive in every sense of the
word. 1t will not only invade the Democratic
camp and challenge Democracy to combat on its
own SOIL but it will make things lively along
habited by the Independents Blaine will man
age the campaign. 1t is not in his nature to sit
| still and allow less energetic and less capable
| subordinates to weaken his cause. His intense
vitality, his energy, ardor and enthusiasm will
inspire the workers and communicate his spirit
| to them
| "A WINNING TICKET.
Cleveland Leader.
Logan for Vice president is an admirable Sc
lection, and Blaine and Logan make winning
| ticket The two great men represent the best
| elements of the American statesman, and the
American soldier Logan would adorn either
! place, but from his long services in the Senate
he is particularly well fitted for the vice-presi-
! dency. Blaine will make one of the greatest
Presidents this nation ever had. He is leader
among leaders; statesman, head and shoulders
above any other of this generation.
HE WILL MAKE THE COUNTRY RESPECTED
| San Francisco Chronicle.
Blaine is the man who as President will do
more 10 make this country and Its citizens
respected than has ever been done since the
foundation of the government Unless we much
mistake his mettle, with this man at the helm
we shall have no slip-shod, shilly -shally, back
down-and swallow-insult foreign policy We
| count upon his election as event as sure as
anything in the future can be. AS for this
coast every Pacific State will cast its vote for
Blaine and Logan.
LET THE DEMOCRACY MATCH THEM.
Ohio State Journal.
Probably no two men could have been asso-
ciated together who combine, in themselves
such varied and powerful elements of personal
popularity James G. Blaine and John A.
| Logan. But they are not only popular men;
they are men of brains men of public expe-
| rence, men whom the Democratic party may be
| challenged to match.
SOUND ON THE TERRITORIAL QUESTIONS.
Springfield Republican.
The Republican platform is sound on the ter
ritorlal interests asking that territorial offices be
| given to the residents of the Territories. that
aliens be prevented from acquiring large tracts
of land that railroad land grants in case of
| breach of conditions and of no attemptto fulfill,
be forfeited.
HE WILL BE ELECTED.
Kansas CITY Journal.
Blaine is too great man not to be elected, and
he has not only all the elements that command
| his partys support, but those characteristics of
| person and service that make him especially not
so much the Republican party's candidate as the
peoples. He will be elected with New York, or
| without it.
DOES NOT DwINDLE AT THE TAIL
Philapelphia Press.
The Republican ticket does not dwindle at the
| tail The boys who went marching down to the
sea with Sherman will turn in for one of Sher-
mans ablest lieutenants. General Logan's long
experience in the Senate gives him special quail
| hcatlons as the presiding officer of that body.
PRESIDENT ARTHURs EXAMPLE.
Buffalo Times.
If every Republican will follow the noble ex-
| ample of President Arthur whose hearty con
| graduation upon Blaines ctory is found in our
| telegraph columns, Blaine will certainly receive
the unites support of the party at the polls
CARTOONS CANNOT HARM BLAINE.
| Augusta (Ne.) Chronicle
The merciless cartoons did Blaine no harm
| They may have helped to nominate him, though
| Blaine is a brilliant man of genius, a dazzling
politician, audacious diplomatists, splendid ora
Tor, and popular and magnetic strategst.
WILL THE DEMOCRACY CHALLENGE THE TARIFF
Philadelphia Record.
On the tariff question. if the Democratic
party fails to pick up the gauntlet thrown down
| to it the succeeding contest will be robbed of all
interest 1t will be mere struggle for the
| spoils.
| MEETS THE ISSUES BOLDLY
| Milwaukee Sentinel
The platform is long and rather difuse, but
its declaration of principles will receive the
hearty support of the party. It meets the
political issues of the time boldly and unequi-
vocaly
IT WILL BRING THE GERMAN VOTE.
| St. Louis Post.
This platform will bring the German vote, con-
| sentative and intelligent always.
| The Foreign Press.
| A NOTABLE EVENT FOR ENGLAND.
| Pail Mall Gazette.
| Blaines nomination is the most notable event
| for England since Lincoln's assassination. Wher-
ever Blaine can GUST the British from the posi-
| ton they hold on the American continent he
will endeavor to replace English influence and
trade nv American His menacinp intimatifk1
