POLITICAL POINTS.

The bldeDesdesst 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 and 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 viii 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 Age Of Prog

In recent address at Rhode Island fair
Mr.. Rowland Hazard, awoolen manufacturer,
said: AFTER twenty-tbree 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 a dangerous
combining prison; 1t must break or growth
must stop. And here the question naturally
occurs: Is it,on the whole, profitable to
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
dustryi For my own part l am convinced
that one Of the best ways to aid the Amer-
ban workingman is to give him the best ana
the cheapest materials upon which to exercise
his skill"
The Cincinnati Enquirer Oem.), while
permitting its New York correspondent to
use up colomns Of space in abuse of Carl
Schurz, thus refers editorially of that gen
tleman: ''There was tremendous crowd
at the Highland house last night to hear the
Hon. Carl Scburz. The hearty applause
which frequently greeted the speaker must
have convinced him of kindly popular
feeling toward him, Notwithstanding the
bitterness of some of his old party asso-
ciates. Mr.. Schurz is 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"
Gen. H. Y. Boynton, who was for so many
| years the Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette, and is now of the COM
bined Commercial Gazette, recently delared to
a Cincinnati Enquirer reporter that he
would not support Blaine. On being re-
| quested later to submit 10 a formal inter
view, the Saqttirer says, 1.-THE general po-
litely demurred, stating that he thought it
| would be indicate, when the position OF
his paper in the fight was taken into eonsid-
Grafton. He further said that he differed
radically with his paper on the presidential
| question, and had not written line of
| political opinion since the unfortunate nomi-
nation of Blaine"
/ The eYamr nile Of hV-f ba oo-
ventlon at Chicago has made this great
year for the ''riff-raff." Kellogg, one of the
most corrupt of the Louisiana politicians, re-
Gently under Indictment in the District of
Coiumb ia for completely in frauds and bri-
| berry, was promptly renominated for con-
| gress. And now ''Walti' Sessions, a brother
of the notorious ''Lo,'' and politician OF
almost equally unsavory reputation, is nom
! mated for representative in the Chautauaua
district-one of the strongest Republican
| quarters of New York The ''old crowd''
doesn't need second invitation TO come to
the front.-BostOn Herald (nd.)
The Republican party is this year pledged
to the most abject form of personal politics,
the qualification Of IN bounded personal am
billion, aud the defense of and apology for
personal corruption. With affection for and
pride in the past Of the great Republican
party, and cherishiug hope for its future,
under regeneration, we deplore its present
dishonor, and must welcome its temporary
defeat.-BoS;OR advertiser (Iep.)
Mr.. Hendricks recently declared in IN
diana that during Gen. Garfield's illness Mr.
Blaine performed most az 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 complimentary declaration.
Mr.. Jay Gould says: ''Any experiment in
the way of political change would be hazard
Gus, in my opiIion.'' 1t was Senator Ed
munds who spoke of Mr.. Blaine always ap-
pearing ''behind the Gould breastworks
musket in hand" whenever they we're as
sailed. Any change might be hazardous for
| Jay Gould.-BOston Herald (ISsd.)
''when Stephen A. Douglas travelled
through the country to secure nomination,
/ and when Andy johnson swung round the
circle for the same purpose saws the Bos-
ton Herald Qnd.), 1.-THE Republican news
papers made good deal of fun Of it. Mr..
| Blaine does what is more ridiculous"
I In 1880 Senator Edmunds believed Blaine
/ to be dishonest man. II the Blaine organs
/ can bring forward any evidence, not forged,
to show that the Vermont senator has
changed his opinion, they viii win over a
