IsInine,s Accentance.

The ceremony on the lawn at the Blaine
mansion in Augusta, Maine, where Blaine
was formally notified of his nomination
was noticeable for what the Chairman Of
the committee said rather than for what
Blaine said. The Chairman, Mr.. Hender-
son, seemed to think that the action of
the convention, and the dissatisfaction
which followed, needed some explanation.
He. therefore, told Blaine that his nOmi-
nation was desired by the representatives
Of the Republican States-the States that
were depended upon to give the party the
victory. He made no mention of the
fact, however, that the Blaine fac
ton did not have enough votes TO
nominate him, and that in all probability
he would not have received the nOmina-
ton had it not been for the bargain with
Logan. 1t wasn't essti, of course,
that points Ike this would be thrust to
the front on such an occasion; but for
the truth Of history it is well that
they shouldn't be forgotten. With
reference to the revolt of the Independent
Republicans. Mr.. Henderson pointed out
that great dissatisfaction had followed
Liucoln's first nomination, and that Gar
fields nomination caused so much Bit
terness that at first it was a matter of
grave doubt with the party leaders wheth-
er he could be elected. He was pulled
through, however, and Chairman Hen
derson expressed the utmost confidence
that Blaine would succeed Arthur. 1t is
a question whether Chairman Hen
derson didn't show lack of
tact in referring to the Republican revolt.
II it had been caused by a difference of
views upon an important issue before the
country. there would have been no indeli-
cacy, perhaps, in calling attention to it;
but when it was occasioned by Blaine's
unsavory reputation as a public man it
could not have been otherwise than pain
full TO the chosen standard bearer. 1t is
noticeable that Blaine made no reference
to it in his reply. He eontented himself
with simply accepting the nomination,
and expressing his approval of the plat
form. When he presents more formal
acceptance, however, which he promised,
he NAV delicately touch upon the points
which Chairman Henderson thought pro-
per to make prominent.

The leading Blaine papers assert that
nearly ali Of the Republicans who refuse
to support the Republican ticket favor
tariff for revenue, or, as they put it, free
trade. They point out that the New York
Times. New York EUeuiHg Post, Beecher,
Sehurz. Curtis and others conspicuous as
boilers are tariff reformers. They argue,
therefore, that the opposition TO Blaine is
not because OF his record, but because Of
his earnest advocacy Of the principle Of
protection. II IS no doubt true that the
most conspicuous If the boilers are earn
est believers in tariff for revenue,
as opposed to a tariff for protection, but
whether their convictions with respect to
the tariff have anything to do with their
refusal to support the Republican ticket
IS a que stIon that remains unanswered.
II they have IL is a matter that the Ma
tional Democratic Convention ought to
take into careful consideration in franz
ing its tariff plank. There is no doubt
that there is a strong tariff for revenue
sentiment in the Republican party, and
that there is very large percentage Of
the Republican voters prepared to vote
with the Democratic party if it shows
itself to be earnestly in favor Of tariff
reform. There are not very many
who will abandon Blaine on account of
the charges against him, because those
charges will be so vigorously denied that
the average voter will be uncertain
whether they are true or not by the time
the campaign is over, but there is vast
number OF Republicans in every Northern
State who will vote against Blaine
because he is a protectionist. 1t is clear
| that the Republican party intends to
press the tariff issue to the front, for two
reasons: First, because it thinks that
protection is still popular with the
majority of the people; and, second,
/ because il hopes to excite so much inter-
est in the tariff issue as to cause the ac.
cusations against Blaine to be forgotten
The thing for the Democratic party to do
and, in fact, the only thing that it can do,
is TO declare squarely and Enthusiastically
for a tariff for revenue. If it hedges by
adopting the Ohio platform, or makes any
declaration respecting the tariff that j;
meaningless or ambiguous, it will lessen
/
tariff reform vote and will gain
nothing from the protectiOnists. If the
Democrats should adopt an Out-and-ou
protection platform they would not wiz
supportfrom thep rotectionists because thu
protectionists know that the Democratic
| marty intends TO reform and reduce thu
tariff Just as soon as 1t can. a half
hearted protection plank would only eX
cite contempt. There are enough believer
in a tariff for revenue in this country t
elect the next President, and if the Demo
cratic party has the wisdom to declare 70
a purely revenue tariff they vii
be found at the polls on cleo
ton day. If the Democratic part,
gives unmistakable evidence that it mean
TO reduce the tariff to areyenue basis, ant
dominates candidates whose records ar
in the direction of reform, there viii be n
Independent party. The Independent
will be found in the Democratic ranks.

Florida Democrats meet tomorrow at
Pensacola to nominate a State ticket. A
good deal Of bad feeling exists between the
adherents Of Gov. Bloxham and ex-Gov.
Drew on account of charges and counter
charges which have appeared in the news
papers. Doubtless this feeling will dis
appear as soon as the convention COM
pletes it work, and the ticket will receive
the united and enthusiastic support of the
party. There is a bare possibility, how
ever. that if either BlOXham or
Drew is nominated some soreness
will remain. The members of the
convention ought to study the situation
very carefully before making the ticket.
The Democrats Of Florida can't afford to
nominate a man for Governor who will
not command the full support of his party.
II must not be forgotten that the Demo-
cratic majority is not large, and that the
Independent ticket nominated few days
ago is regarded as having considerable
strength. 1t is expected that the State
ticket will help the national ticket. The
Democracy cannot afford to lose Florida. 1t
will not do to underrate Blaine's strength
in that state. The Cuban vote at Key West
will doubtless be cast for him, and the in
fiuence Of Disston and foreign capt.
talists will be for him. The Democrats
of Florida Will have to work hard and
manage skinfully to carry the State. Let
them not. therefore, act hastily in nomi-
mating their State ticket. 1t is better that
both Drew and BIoxham should be beaten
in the convention than that either should
be beaten at the polls. The convention
ought to nominate the strongest man,
whoever he may &c, without regard to
past party services. We are more anxious
for the success Of the party than for the
triumph Of any man.

Was the Saratoga Convention in favor
of Gov. Cleveland. or was it against him
The first impression was that it was in
his favor. His only competitor, Mr..
Flower, failed to demonstrate in the con-
vention the overwhelming superiority
which we had been assured beforehand he
was in possession of; and, although no
attempt was made to procure from the
convention a declaration in favor OF Mr..
Cleveland, as the New York candidate for
President, yet we were assured that the
majority OF the delegates to Chicago were
decidedly in favor OF his nomination.
A careful examination of the list oil
delegates casts doubt upon the truth OF
this proposition. Some of the gentlemen
who are set down by Mr.. Cleveland's
friends as anxious for his nomination are
certainly opposed to him; while the fact
that so conspicuous and so able public
man as Mr.. Dorsheimer was rejected as a
delegate-at-large to Chicago because it
was believed he had been selected to
make the speech proposing Mr.. Cleveland
| as the candidate, and the other fact that
Mr.. Bissell, Of Buffalo,. the law partner
of the Governor, whose appointment as a
| delegate -at-large Mr.. Cleveland especial
| " desired, was not able to attain that
| distinction, would seem to afford signih-
! cant evidence that the Governor is not
very popular or very lnHuenJldl dHOhg
| the Democrats of the State.
If Mr.. Cleveland were really the choice
of the Saratoga Convention, and fthe dele
gates to Chicago had been instructed to
support him there, mis- nomination would
have been probable. But, as the case
now stands, an interesting uncertainty
still prevails upon the subject, and if Mr..
Cleveland is finally nominated it will not
be because the New York Democracy
want him, but because, on the whole, they
think they cannot de better.
AS we have repeatedly had occasion to
state, MIR. Cleveland possesses valuable
and elevated qualities as public man,
but his plan of governing without refer
ence to the party which puts him into
office is, in our judgment, quite incon-
sistent with the theory of free institutions.
| The Democracy of the State would be
| justified if they should emphatically re-
pudiate any officer who practices upon
| such a theory

Speaking on the pension bill, General

Grand Army: "They are not beggars.
nor do they desire to bankrupt the cOun-
try to which they offered their services
and for which they were ready to die.
They do not ask this" The trouble APP
pears to be that the true soldiers of the
Grand Army are in the minority about
now, to judge from the efforts thousands
Of members Of that body are making TO
get their fingers into the treasury. While
there are thousands Of true soldiers &C
cording to General Hawley's idea, there
%e many other thousands of camp follow

triotism is measured by dollars and cents.
The large number of the latter are ac-
counted for BY the fact that they were not
exposed to the casualties Of war.

Blind Leaders of the Blind.

deal of laughter and applause the other day

and who has a board across his breast on
which there is written this sentence: i am
bind There are some gentlemen higher IN
the scale Of life who. when they appeal to the
charities Of the public, need not carry that
sort of legend on their b0soms to show that
they cannot see." But, after all, Mr.. Turner
did not depict more ruinous class OF states
