A frequent reason why the people of this
country, and especially those known as
irish Americans, should support Mr.. Blaine,
has been put forward by Republican news
papars in the assertion that his nomination
ia regarded with great dsfavor by the English
press 1t seems to be taken for granted that
anything occurring in this country which is
not liked by the English is just the thing for
the good OF the American people and should
be endorsed under all circumstances. Thus
It has been urged that special reason why
Mr.. BlGine should be made President is to be
found in the asserted fact that his noin;na-
ton is most unfavorably received In Great
Britain. Ifthis be the case, then the reverse
is logicallytrue, and we are forced to con
clude that anything which takes place in the
country which is satisfactory to the English
people must be ruinous to our best interests.
There is no escape from this conclusion. If
It be true that the English always favor VIII at
is not for our good they must equally favor
whatis to our damage.
Tho most influential newspaper In Eng
land is the Times of London. 1t Is essen

under all circumstances right or wrong.

menace to monarchics from the fourishing
existence OF governments OF The people, by
the people would cease to exist. Hence It
lahored to aid,in the division of this country
and II accepted the contrary result with ua-
concealed Disappointment
Now, il u paper of this character finds any
thing 10 colamendin this country it is evil
dent and plain, according 10 the logic Of the
Republicans that The thing thus commended
is dangerous to our liberties and should be
at once repudia'ed.
