MIR. BLAINE,s VENOM.

MIR. Blaine is a venomous, MALICIOUS
character, partisan to a degree ana
thoroughly reckless in statement; as I'M
fit a man to be a leader of a great po-
litical party as could we'll be imagined.
This is evidenced by his libel upon the
state of Indiana, in his letter
ing his withdrawal of his libel suit
against the Indianapolis Sentinel.
Even republican newspapers see this
and the St. Louis Globe Democrat says
so ,very forcibly, in an editorial article
as follows:-"Mr. Blaine's letter dis
missing his suit against the 1ndianapo-
lis sentinel is exceedingly ill-tempered
and unfair in its spirit. In effect he
a v that he could not get a just verdict
in Indiana, This is a serious accusation
to make against the people OF a whole
state. 1t is a serious accusation against
the federal court, which in lndl-
| ana is republican in all its branches
and which in all the states whether re-
publican or democratic, is honest ano
impartial. 1t seems to US thai MI
Blaine might have withdrawn his hbe
suit against the Sentinel without libel
ing the whole state of Indiana, her jury
system and her courts of Justice" Yes
hut that would not have suited his pnr
pose of infaming the minds OF his radio
partisans. According to Mr.. Blaine'
miserable theory a prominent democra
against whom republican newspaper
had been arrayed could not get justice
in Maine. Sometimes those who or!
out loudest about justice want anything
else rather than justice.

The Higginsville Post remarks:-
aOur Lexington contemporary is not
hurrahing for Carter Harrison as much
az it was. Carter's chances for repre-
senting Illinois in the United States
senate are away below par. Lis
friends failed to elect men enough to
pull him through, and their efforts to
steal a seat seem to have turned out
badly" Yes; democrats are not so ex-
pert at stealing seats as republicans;
vide, Hayes theft of Tilden's seat; or
Van Horns theft of old Gen. Shields
seat; or Warmers theft Of Sheffield's
seat. So far as we are concerned we
are glad that they do not shine i'll that
field. Mr.. Brand, as soon as he found
out that frauds had been perpetrated
in his behalf, instructed his attorneys,
who had already secured a mandamus
from a circuit court to restrain the gov
ernor from issuing a certificate to
Lemon, to withdraw all proceed
ings. Think of a republican doing
that!. And then the Jroquols
club at its very first meeting
denounced the frauds and their perpe-
traitors in unmeasured terms. Imagine
a republican club condemning republi-
can rascality! Why, the mugwumps,
who couldn't stomach Blaine's rotten
record, are being incontinently kicked
out of the party for their temerity'
| When a republican starts in to steal a
seat he can, as rule, count on a toler-
ably unanimous support from his party
| associates.
