SOL MILLER ON TIE OANDE
DAYE9


Kansas Chief: We believe IN stating
objections 70 candidate before nomina.
tion Is made, and the damage dons.
Why is it that Blaine is abused like /
horse-thIef, from one end of the country to
the other, and clubs and committees of
the seiLrighteous are Formed for the
purpose Of constantly buzzing the coun-
try IN opposition to him; while if
blaine's friends strike back, and state
solid truths In reply, it is considered
simply terrible, and In some cases, like
that Of Edmunds It is moth
Ing short Of blasphemV
The friends Of Blaine alone, from among
all the rest, must exercise forbearance.
They must not defend their fayorite or
state their objections to any Of his oppo-
nents. If Arthur, or EdmundA or any
other Republican than Blame is nomin.
ated, We shall support him-even the
most Objectionable among them-in pref.
erence to the Democratic candidate; but
We should support some of them with
serious misgiviDgs as TO their election.
OF ali the men mentioned for the
nomination, there are bat two
for whom the enthusiasm is spon-
tazeoUs and genuIne-aN the others
| are being boosted by systematic
work by Interested persons, or by g feel.
ing OF local pride. These two are Blaine
and General Sherman. Blaine has Bit
ter enemies, but the popular enthusiasm
would carry him through in spite of all
that grumblers and kickers could do.
His popularity Is as wide as the country
General Sherman would go through
with a sweep like bis march from At
lanta to the sea. Arthur would create
no enthusiasm, except among Office hold
srs and commercial politicians. HIS
bitterest opposition is in his own state
and he would be defeated, unless the
Democrats made unusually big
blunders. Edmunds would create
no more enthusiasm than an ice
berg at the North Pole, and his nomina.
ton would freeze the energy out of the
party. Logan Is popular with the sol
diers OF the west, but lacks popularity al
the east. John Sherman is sound and
solid, and has the confidence of the
party; but in close campaign, he
would not enthuse the careless and I'M
decided, outside of Ohio. Robert Lin
coin could probably be elected, but it II
noticeable that the demand fol-
him arises from the fac'
that different candidates think
he would be an available man with
whom to defeat their rivals. He is nc
more fit for the Office than we are, but il
Is expected that his fathers name would
carry him through with whirl. 1t will
be sorry day for the Republican party
If it again dominates a man who is moi
qualified, and then expect to elect thai
man, not upon his own merits, but upon
the reputation OF his father.
