A DIsTAsTEFUL NONISATION.
Fron. the Worcester, Mass, Gazette, Rep.
We give Mr. Blaine his due. Those
who leave out the points We have made
in figuring out the results of the next
election will find inaccuracies in their
gum total. At the same time it must
be added that the nomination is ex-
tremely distasteful to many Republic
ans, for reasons which have been suf-
fciently aired previous to tho Conven-
tion, and perhaps nowhere more freely
than in newspapers which have been
ranked as party organs. 10 the in
dependent element of the party in this
State and in New York the choice is
especially offensive. They would have
Arthur under protest, but Blaine they
refuse. How important this factor
will prove in a Presidential election is
a matter of conjecture at present. 1t
was not strong enough to elect Greely
~
somewhat.
CANNOT SWALLOW BLAINE.
From tie FluahinS, L. T., Times.
In view of Mr.. Blaine's nomination
at Chicago, we are not prepared to
say that he will not be elected-at
least not yet. How the Democratic
nomination may affect our opinion We
cannot yet say. We are of that class
of Republicans who regard Mr..
Blaine's nomination as great blum
der. 1t night be good thing for the
country if there was change in the
Governmental party, anyhow. If the
Democrats only had sense enough to
repudiate such demagogues as Butler
English and Tilden, and trust them
selves to such men as Thurman, Bay
ard and Cleveland, it might be well to
have . change. Blaine's campaign
will be largely composed of his own
personal elements - fireworks and
brass bands. There will be lots of
hurrah, of bunting and of bluster,
mingled with loud promises and gild-
ed hopes.
But the votes-how about them?
NOW LET THEM ELECT HIM.
From Xs Ne,cport News and Journal, Rep.
The great fight is over. The Re-
publicans have accepted Blaine as
their standard bearer for 1884. It is
result which that gentleman and his
host of friends have earnestly sought
these many years, and it remains to
be seen whether or not his vaunting
ambition has overleaped itself in the
fierce struggle for the supremacy
We do not believe the. convention has
made wise or a safe choice. In or.
der to win the party must poll its full
strength, and there are thousands OF
lifelong Republicans who would hesi.
tate to vote for the Maine statesman
They are mostly the silent men who
stand aloof from caucusses and con.
vsntions, and who have nothing to
fear from the crack of the party whip
They are thoughtful and in earnest
and in doubtful States, like New
York, are likely to determine the fnal
result. Should these independents
act rs they have done in certain Other
cases the mistake made at Chicago
will soon be apparent.
WHAT BLAINE MUST FACE.
From tie Philadelphia. 1Fnses-Ind. Rep.
The sober, serions fact that Mr.
Bfsine's partisans must face is tha
the large body of conservative citizens
who hold the balance of power il
every one os the debatable Eastern
States-Eew York, New Jersey ane
Connecticut, and even Massachusetts,
profoundly distrust Mr.. Blaine anC
will not support him for the Presiden
ey. Whether their opposition b,
made effective for his defeat will de
pend, of course, on the alternative
offered by the Democratic party mex
month, but if he be elected it will b.
by Democratic folly and not in an,
case by brass bands.
ONLY A BLUNDER CAN ELECT.
From tie Reading, Pa, Eagle.
If the Democrats at Chicago shoult
nominate a weak ticket instead of
strong one, New York, netwithstand
ing the infection of the Independents
may 60 Republican. But if the Dem
ocrats should nominate Tilden o
Cleveland, or Bayard, or some othe
first-class man for President, and will
a well-conducted campaign, thei
chances for success are better than th
Republicans.
BOSTON REPUBLICANS.
From the Boston Transcript.
A canvass of the Boston Republic
ans at this time would show a yer,
large majority against Mr.. Blaine, o
Maine.
BLAINE HAS NOT CHANGED.
From the Chicago Nesos-(Rep.)
