Of the telegraph are suborned by their
very relations to the owners of the |
system to do the bidding and
bend TO the purposes Of Gould |
and his associates. Why, otherwise,
was / impelled to believe by false |
press dispatches that Ohio had given n
majority of 80 900 for Blaine?
Blaine is brilliant and most fasci- |
mating talker, His senatorial colo
quial harangues are admirable, but he
lacks the massiveJability and force of
Webster or Douglas. He has all those |
shining intellectual qualities that cap
tivate the mob and serve him well
when hippOdroming. His owners and
managers, Elkins and the rest, there

thousand votes of the eight hundred
thousand of Ohio and that this would
give Blaine present majority of about
ten or twelve thousand. The issues
presented in the campaign had made
Ohio Democratic state, when Blaine
and Gould and the Western Union
entered upon the task of misleading
and buying the people. Therefore did

| THE IGNORANT AND WEAK AND COR
RUPT.
There are cowardly, unthlnking
people who deem themselves right II
on the winning side. When curiosity
10 see a hugely advertised show led
monstrous throngs TO greet a candidate
for the presidency the moral effect
upon ignorance, cowardice and stupid
ity was tremendous. Each idiot Of
these mulJitudes thought that the
world was mad about Blaine and
that he was surely born
under the luckiest of stars,
and therefore was the cynosure of the
star-routeTs. How he was gazed at
and how glittering he was! No won
der stupidity covered in his presence.
He has served twenty years in con
gress and only made these shining fas-
cinating little speeches and thus has
he gilded himself, his purse and pat
ace and genius with gold. But he has
done nOthingimore. He has consum-
/, mated no measure of statesmanship.
His name is identified with no fact in
history or statecraft save that he viii
