New York Sun.

The colored delegates to the Chica-
go Convention merit the hearty thanks
of their constituents. Blaine was
nominated through the t~reachery of
their white associates. On the final
ballot only three negroes dropped
Arthur and voted for Blaine. Lynch,
Hill, and Bruce of Mississippi, black
Gibbs, of Arkansas, Smalls, of South
Carolina, and Pinchback of Louisiana
held their men as firmly as Cambronne
held the Old Guard at Waterloo. The
three black ~recreants were from Ala
bama and Arkansas.
The South and the country were
disgraced by the Claytons, the Roots
the Kelloggs, and the Strobachs, and
not by the negroes. The latter with
stood S%tar-route temptations nobly.-
If the white delegations from Ohio
Indiana, and Illinois had done half a
well, the Republican party would hav,
been spared the disgrace of Blaine'
nomination.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1884-06-26

Ha,per's Weekly says that "the
nomination of Mr.. Blaine, although
it is doubtless agreeable to the major
ity of the party, as shown at Chica-
go, because a large part of the appa-
rent opposition, as in Indiana and
Illinois and even in the Ohio delega-
ton was friendly to his nomination,
ought to alarm honest Republicans
as showing how dangerously far the
Republican standard has fallen. The
nominations at Chicago, made against
the most friendly Republican remon-
strances, have forced upon the Re
publicans the conviction that the
great objects of the Republican par
ty-honest and economical admins
tration, peaceful and honorable for
eign relations, the progressive puri
fication of the public service at home,
wise reduction of the revenue and
that sense of general security which
springs from the moral elevation o.
the administration, are not to be eX.
pected from Republican success"
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1884-06-26

There is no reason for doubt that
the vote of the seventy two delegates
from New York will be cast in the
national convention solidly for Cleve-
land. That fact might as well be
assumed to start with. It is true the
delegates wers not instruetedft vote
for Cleveland orfor any one, but they
were instructed to vote as q unit for
whoever a majority may favor, and
as q majority favors Cleveland, it
amounts practically to the same
thing as instructions. The Chicago
News says of this:
With Cleveland as the Democratic
nominee the Republicans will GER
tainly have to win without New York
if they do at all, but his nomination
will make New Jersey, Connecticut
and possible Massachusetts doubtful
with Democratic proclivities. With
a man like Hoadly of Ohio as a IAN
didate for the vice presidency the lat
ter state would be reasonably secure
for the Democracy. If the defensive
campaign .inaugurated and carried
on by the Republicans is pursued
there is no telling what changes may
take place between now and the 4th
of November.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1884-06-26

Puck, the Republican illustrated
paper says: "And now what re
mains for US to do who feel the in
dignity that has been put upon us2
There is only one course to take, and
the conscience of the plainest man
may tell him what that is. To swear
in our own souls that, whatever may
be the noise and ridicule of those
who al take their disgrace lightly,
we will fight by vote, by argument,
by speech, and by writing, by all
fair and honest means against the
contamination of the wrong that is
proposed by those who would put
James G.. Blaine into the chair of
Abraham Lincoln. And ifthe great
party must die, let it die under the
daggcrs of its own sons, who kill it
to save it from the worst dishonor."

Solid Advice.
Cincinnati Evening Post.

Workingmen, young men, honest
citizens, pause. Do not be in ahurry
to join this or that political club.
There is plenty of time between now
and the ides Of November to do such
things, if you can not find vent for
your exuberant spirits elsewhere
You may hastily do hat now under
the crack of the party whipoeri under
the manufactured enthusiasm ofbrass
bands and professional political howl
ers, which you will regret when you
arc called upon TO perform the proud
est duty of an American citizen-de-
post your ballot. The men who howl
for you TO join political clubs never
plod through the hot, dusty, or muddy
streets as you are called to do. The
howlers for these clubs have axes to
grind. Your votes will elect their
man, but they will take the reward in
fat Offices. To parade the streets, howl
ing and shouting for this and that can
didate is beneath the dignity of sane
citizens. Your duty re-
quires you to study diligently the
questions at issue in the campaign, the

Probably the Star-route gang
stands unrivaled in point of politi-
cal audacity. It successfully battled
with the Federal Administration in
the Courts and defeated President
Arthur at Chicago, and it has now
undertaken to name the next Presi-
dent of the United States. Success
full rascals in the United States never
appear to know when they have
enough. 1t is very likely that Mr..
Elkins' candidate for President may
be defeated in November.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1884-06-26

Hon. Eben F. Pillbury, formerly
of Maine, and an intimate acquain
lance of Blaine, in speaking of the
"white- plumed knight" before a
meeting of the Bay State Club, on
the 7th inst, referred to Blaine's
military services as follows:
81 would like to know what he did
during the war, although he was fore
most in support of the party and the
policy that led to the war. When the
war came he didn't volunteer but he
was drafted-the first man drawn
from the box. Prior to that time he
put some money in a pool gotten up
for the purpose, and with the money
derived from that pool he hired q sub
stitute. His name was Bradford. and
a place was provided for him Mt Au-
gusta instead of going to the 'front.'
Afterwards he was detected in selling
for money forged certificates of ex-
emption papers and was arrested and
confined in Jail until the close of the
q Then, gentlemen, after the war
had closed, the men who had pooled
and put up their money TO furnish
substitutes clamored because the cities
and towns did not pay their expenses.
Then the cities and townsissued bonds
for every man who hired q substitute.
Blaine got his 5000. Afterwards. a
resolution was put into the Common

passed, and lie got his pay twice

meat morning, loon and night"

The demand for the restoration of
our navy, is a key to the hypocrisy
of the Republican platform. For a
party that has wasted millions of
money on a navy with only a few rot
ten hulks and a lot of rich contract
ors "soap" for campaign purposes
and a scandal in the Naval Depart
ment that not only disgraced Secre-
tary Robson and the Republican

Under the leadership of Blaine all
hypocracy and false p~retense of sham
Reformers must stop, remarks the
World. A Mulligan candidate, pill
loried by his own party, cannot I'M
pose upon any by reform nonsense"
He stands up Tor what he is. He is
a platform of corruption in himself.
His name is a guarantee that the
party admits itself to be a party of
mercenaries, political pirates and
cor~ruptionists. No pretended Re
former can touch him and keep his
hands clean. His nomination repre-
sents Republicanism as it is to-day,
and challenges the country to decide
whether it will consent to retain the
Republican party in power in its
naked undisguised proiigacy, or
whether it will insist ur on a CHANGE.
