Harper & Brothers Present Hos
tiiity and Previous Estimate OF
Dir. Blaine.

In view of the declaration of the Har-
pers as to the time when their opposition
to Mr. Blaine began. the statement which
we find In the National Republican OF
Saturday will have special interest The
ReDu5licara states that on the 18th of
March. 1888. Mr.. J. W Harper, Jr., the
head Of the firm, wrote to gentleman in
that city requesting him to see Mr.. Blaine
on the subject of publishing the book. as
.uring him that Harper IL Brothers
would be glad to be considered in the
matter" The RepuJitfan proceeds to
quote further from Mr.. Harper's mighty
interesting letter as follows:
with the instinct Of a publisher, accus-
toned to deal with the people rather than
with privileged classes, | recognize the fact
that there j. no man living more closely IN
sympathy with the people than Mr. Blaine.

it gracefully and effectively"
Mr. Blaine decided to give the publica-
ton of his book to another house. Does
any one believe that the Harpers would
be opposing Mr.. Blaine to-day ii they
were publishing Twenty Years of Con-

Mr. Blaine at Portland.
HIS RECEPTION BY THE BUSINESS Men OF
THAT CRY.

Mr. Blaine had a splendid reception yester-
day evening at Portland, an account of which
viii b. found in our telegraphic columns.
The testimonial TO him was signed by 400 of
the business men of our sister city, and was
as follows:
Hon. James g. Blame:
The business men of Portland, remember
ing your former sojourn in their city, and the
interest YOU have always manifested in its
growth and prosperity. well as in that of
the State with which their interests are in
separately connected, and influenced by that
pride in your success natural To every citi-
zen of Maine, desire to express to you their
great qualification in the just recognition of
your character and services accorded To you
in your nomination for President by the poit
zeal organization of which you have 50 long
been an able and honored leader.
Many of US have enjoyed the privilege of a
personal acquaintance with you, and although
we have not all been able to agree with YOU
upon political questions, we have all had con
idence in your integrity AS man and YOUR
purity and ability as a statesman; and we are
united in the conviction that should the people
of the United States ratity the choice of your
political associates, you will give the country
an administration unrlVailed IN Its wise so
licitude and practical measures for the pro-
motion of all our material interests, and for
its painstaking care for the publication and
perfection of all departments of the public
service.
1t is a matter of which YOU and your friends
may well be proud, that your nomination was
tribute to yourself, and was not made upon
grounds of locality to secure the influence of
your State at the polls, or her comparatively
insignificant power in the electoral college ::
yet as citizens of Maine we are, nevertheless,
proud of the honor which has accrued to our
State through the popular recognition of your
private worth and your capacity for national
usefulness we believe that every considerable
citizen of Maine, without regard to party,
honors and respects you therefor.
We do not forget that through all the years
that you have enjoyed national influence
accorded to but few, you have never been
other than one of the people. and have always
been mindful of the rights of the humblest
individual in the land Though your success
in the coming election may widen your oppor-
tunites for useful service it will add nothing
to the unlimited confidence and esteem sus-
tanned for you by US in common with the
great mass of your fellow citizens of Maine.

Who Began II?

The Cleveland papers that affect to be
SO painfully shocked at the publication of
the reports of GOV. Clcveland's immoral
titles. must remember that it was not the re-
publican papers which began this kind of
publication TWAS the democratic papers
opposed to the nomination of Cleveland
rs candidate for president which first
published the facts about his liceutious
opposed to his nomination because they
knew him, and thought it right and proper
that the delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton should be correctly informed also,
and not be deceived by representations
concerning the purity of his personal
character, The Buffalo Telegraph, since
the nomination, has published only
what the Boston Globe and other
democratic papers made known before
the convention. They led the way.
They pictured Cleveland as he is; and
they thought it was all right until the re-
publicsns began to follow their example
after Cleveland was nominated.
The independents also helped the mat
ter along by declaring that the campaign
was a purely personal one and commenc-
ing assaults upon MIR. Blaihe's private
affairs. After having set the ball in
motion themselves, their pretence of
horror and indignation al recent articles

weak, foolish and audacious to be worthy

Few Reasons Why the Augusta, Maine
Edition Will Outsell All Others
Ten to One.
ist Because il is the authentic edition published
from Augusta. the home of Blaine, and has had the
| advantage Of the most complete knowledge OF his
whole life
ed. Because Mr. Blaine and his friends cooperat-
ed with the author and publishers in order that q e
work might be most complete and correct III all
particulars
Sd Because Col Conwell is better fitted for writ
ing such volume than any other man in America ;
all his earnestness, knowledge. and ability Will be
4th cause in its manufacture it is the largest,
best, and handsomest book ever published for the
ing for any other edition; never do for one dollar
what you just well receive $1,000 for You can
sell ten books of the Augusta edition where You
would hardly sell one of any other.
5th. Because volume is pictorial biograph7,
and illustrates the most interesting scenes In the
life of the candidate. Our volume is splendidly
illustrated.
9th. Because the author has visited the scenes
of early life OF the distinguished statesman and is
familiar with the career of the boy and YOUTH from
the statements of those still living there, who knew
him then; this is intensely interesting portion of
the volume.
TERRITORY.
In campaign business il is best that every agent be

limitations whatever. But the country is so vast
that agents will not conflict even where the best
canvass is made.
