POLITICAL POINTS.

The InIeDellde,tt and all those of like mind,
in opposing a candidate who once committed
great sin, help the election Of man full of
sin, and fuller now than ever. The struggle
cannot fairly be considered as one between
Republicans and Democrats; it is a struggle
between Blaine men aud Cleveland men
it is honesty struggling for the supremacy.
1t is, in one sense perhaps. good thing for
the country that Blaine was nominated; for
in future elections this struggle will be re-
membered, and the number of those not
able to give any sensible reason for the way
they vote may be less. At last we have some
thing so serious as to be worthy the dignity
of our great republic, and the issue is plain.
1t is honesty against dishonesty; and every
good citizen should rejoice.-The 4ge Of Prog
reSS (FaiTgiel0, ". J.)
In recent address at Rhode Island fair
Mr.. Rowland Hazard, wooden manufacturer.
said: ''After twenty-three years Of protec-
ton all the protected industries are suffering
from overcrowding. Like cucumbers grown
in bottles, the limit has been reached, the
protecting glass has become dangerous
conining prison it must break or growth
must stop. And here the question naturally
occurs: is it,on the whole, profitable 70
grow crop of cucumbers in bottles! Does
it not seem as if the experiment had gone
far enough! Does not the lesson teach that
restriction is not the true way to benefit in
dustTys For my own part am convinced
that one of the best WAYS to all the Ameri-
ban workingman is to give him the best and
the cheapest materials upon which TO exercise
his skill"
The Cincinnati Enquirer Dem.), while
permitting its New York correspondent to
use up colomns OF space in abuse of Carl
Schurz, thus refers editorially of that gen
tleman: ''Tbere was tremendous crowd
at the Highland house last night to hear the
Hon. Carl Schurz. The hearty applause
which frequently greeted the speaker must
have convinced him of a kindly popular
| feeling toward him, Notwithstanding the
bitterness of some of his old party asso-
ciates. Mr.. Schurz is a logical, eloquent
and convincing speaker. and yields great
power on the stump. He has exerted a
great influence in Cincinnati that can not be
counteracted by anybody the Republican
managers may send here"
Geu. II. V. Boynton, who was for so many
years the Washington correspondent OF the
| Cincinnati Gazette, and is now of the COM
biued Commercial Gazette, recently declared to
Cincinnati Enquirer reporter that he
would not support Blaine. On being re-
| quested later to submit TO a formal inter
view, the Enquirer says, the general po-
litely demurred, stating that he thought II
would be indicate, when the position of
| his paper in the fight was taken into consid-
Grafton. He further said that he differed
radically with his paper on the presidential
! question, and had not written a line OF
political opinion since the unfortunate nomi-
nation of Blaine"
The example set by the Republican con-
vention at Chicago has made this a great
year for the ''rlff-raff." Kellogg, one Of the
most corrupt of the Louisiana politicians, re.
Gently under Indictment in the District of
Columbia for completely in frauds and bri-
berry, was promptly renominated for con-
gress. And now ''Walt'' Sessions, n brother
of the notorious 'Lo," and a politician OF
| almost equally unsavory reputation, is nom
mated for representative in the Chautauqua
| distriet-One of the strongest Republican
| quarters Of New York. The sold crowi''
doesn't need a second invitation to come to
the front.-Boston Herald Qnd.)
The Republican party is this year pledged
/ 70 the most abject form Of personal politics,
the qualification Of un bounded personal am
billion, and the defense of and apology for
personal corruption. With affection for and
pride in the past of the great Republican
party, and cherishing hope for its future,
under regeneration, we deplore its present
dishonor, and must welcome its temporary
defeat.-Boston Adeertiser (Iep.)
Mr.. Hendricks recently declared in In
diana that during Gen. Garfeld's illness Mr..
Blaine performed most of the duties of pres
ident, and this statement is Indignantly
denied BY the Indianapolis Times, an ardent
Blaine organ. No explanation is given OF
this strange resentment of what many people
would regard as a supplementary declaration.
Mr.. Jay Gould says: "Any experiment in
the way Of political change would be hazard

musket in hand.n whenever they were as
sailed. Any change might be hazardous for
