The supporters of Mr.. Blaine arc cor
tainly not responsible for bringing the

waive every other issue and to go before
tho country upon the simple question as
to whether Mr.. Blaine's personal record

that the fitness Of tho candidate is the
only question that can be discussed or

The first sentence In the platform adopted
by the boiling republicans at their con.

"The paramount issue of tho presidential
election of this year is moral rather thar
political" And now these gentlemen
have no right to complain when the issue
which they themselves made up has beer
accepted. They insist that moral aud
not political tests should be applied to
Mr.. Blaine. Tho virtuous, God-fearini

THE four Tammany members Of the
New York democratic state committee
were not present at the meeting at Al
bany on Wednesday. 1t is not likely that
business engagements would keep all of
them at home, In fact, the New York
Times (Which is just now running the
democratic machine) says that they alb
sented themselves purposely, and that
Mr.. Kelly will not permit them to dis
charge their duty as committeeman until
he has brought the party to terms. 1t is
apparent that Mr., Kolly is not yet quite
ready to surrender. The political outlook
in New York, as reported by tho members
of the democratic state committee, is not
specially encouraging to the supporters OF
Cleveland. In the large cities there Is
disaifection among the Irish voters and
tho workingmen, and in the country dis
tricts party lines are sharply drawn, and
boilers from either side are not numor-
ous. The only hope of carrying tho state
for Cleveland is in the republican disadec-
ton in New York city aud Brooklyn.

Ex-Gov. sF. Joms, who was nominated
yesterday by tho prohibitionists for the
presidency, enjoys the distinction of
being the only republican candidate for
governor Of Kansas who was ever defeated.
When u regularly nominated republican
candidate for any Office in Kansas fails of
an election it is always reasonable to sup
pose that he is peculiar man. Gov. St,
John is very peculiar man. Ho has
succeeded in destroying all his political
prestige and all his opportunities for
political preferment by devoting himself
to the advancement of impractical theories
which the common sense of mankind will
not accept, The temperance question is
settled in Kansas, and the prohibition
policy is maintained bya large majority
OF the people, but Gov. st. John keeps on
b with tho fight, apparently unconscious OF
the fact that his own party has sat down
upon him.
