following than amy other republican
leader, although unquestionably certain
events in his career have alienated the
sympathy of many republicans whose
approval is worthy amy mans winning,
As secretary of state his course will be
regarded not only without prejudice,
but with the most friendly anticipation.
Is The administration begins
therefore, withan admirable manifesto,
and with cabinet to which no part of
! the party openly objects"
Again under date of June 4, 81, he
writes:
"Secretary Blaine prompt and ener-
getic action in defence of naturalzed
citizens and of threatened hostile COM
mercial policy in Europe towards GER
tain American exports, showed admir-
able vigilance.
Then Nov. 3, 81, we have the fol
lowing:
"The letter of Secretary Blaine upon
the Panama canal was written on the
9th of June last, and is now transmitted
to the Senate under the resolution late
" adopted. The letter states with adj
mirable frankncss and tirmness the ira
ditional and reasonable position of this
country, and it will be universally sus-
tanned. The position is that which was
stated by The administration of Presi-
ncnt Hayes. BY our situation our in
tcrcst in waterway across the isthmus
! is paramount; we have solemnly guar
anteed its neutrality b. treaty with
Columbia, and the guarantee needs 10
assent from any other power As MI.
Blaine truly says, in time of war we
could no more permit the passage OF
armed hostile expeditions through a
Panama canal than over the ratings
that connect the Atlantic and Pacific
shores and Columbia; and we should
take all necessary precautions to pre-
vent an offensive use of such canal
against our interests whether on land
or sea. The secretary points out that
the United States have recognized Eu-
ropcan guarantee Of neutrality respect
ing European states, and did the sng-
gested European guarantee contemplate
a channel of communication in the I'M
mediate neighborhood of foreign
states. and in which their interests
were necessarily commanding, the
United States would find no fault.
They desire to live at peace with all
states, as their conduct and their arna-
ments prove, and they claim no more
than they willingly grant. The letter
is a temperate and digniiied document,
stating our position with blended spirit
and courtesy and decision. 1t is capi-
tally adapted to meet any such PROPOSE
ton as 4 joint European protectorate.
had it been advanced. But whether
the project was merely a tentative ru-
NOR or design previously entertained,
the letter has sufficed to arrest il and is
another illustration of the skill and IL
bility with which Mr.. Blaine has man
aged the department contided to him.
He has what may be called the Ameri-
can instinct. an essential quality in oul
foreign secretary, yet restrained in its
official expression by an equally Amer
!, lean tact and good sense

return to RichfoId he was met by a

The Caucus.

AS will be seen by the notice at the
head of this column, caucus will be
held at the town hall on Saturday even
ing, to choose delegates to attend the
county convention, July 1st.
The convention will nominate two
senator's, assistant judges, high sheriff
and other county officers. And as in
all probability the persons named, for
these several positions, by this conven-
ton, will be elected, it is of the utmost
Importance that this convention be
made up of the right kind of material
level headed men, men who cannot
be bought or sold or tricked into the
support of unworthy men, but will GER
tainly represent the people by steadily
supporting men of known ability and
integrity for all positions in their gift
This end can only be secured by the
voters turning out in numbers sufficient
il not to over awe, certainly to out vote
all the traders and fixers.
Under our political system, unles:
the people are fairly and largely pres
ent at the caucus, it is possible for {
very few good managers to contTo
both caucus and convention, and fois
upon us objectionable candidates to b,
elected by vigorous applications of tn
party lash.
1t is an easy matter for one OF tw,
men in town to quietly whisper
word in the ears of few friends to at
tend the caucus; or they may arrang
with some quiet men to 90 as delegates
whom the average voter may not sus
pect of intrigue, or, indeed, may not b
capable of it, but are themselves til
victim of the schemer, and the work
done, and the people are not reprcsen
ed, the minority rule, and the delegate
represent one or two individuals, b,
hind whom, may possibly, be son

However it may be, the people al

port of the party without any dissent.
1t will be a pleasure for all Republicans
to vote for Col. Pingree, as a man of
ability and unblcmished character, free
from ring affiliations and machine tao

not be wholly free from this faint, it is

COUNTY politics have been remarka-

1t seems certain tha: 0. Il. Garfield,

have large and deserving following
in this end of the county, but this is
wholly popular uprising of the peo-

vail in putting so worthy representa-
