"Is Blaine a candidste?'
Not a Candidate.

NO, he is not but that is no reason why
ne should not be nominated. On the con-
trary, it is the best resson why he should
be. Ex-senator David Davis gave out bit
of sound political philosophy when noli'
fed of his nomination for the Presidency
in 1872 by the Labor party He said: The
Presidency is great office, neither TO be
sought nor declined Blaine is the man OF
all men who should be nominated this
yesr. What name would prove so eifec
tive a taIisman to conjure the vote Of
doubtful Ohio in October? Who would
nore surely make Maine safe IN Srptem-
Der? The commanding issue this year will
be the prot.ction OF our Industries. What
other name mentioned so thoroughly rep
rPsents that policy? HIS nomination Is
more dreaded by the Democrats than that
OF any other Republican
The announcement that Blaine is not a
cardidatp is being u:ed agsinc, him."
Yes With an adjunct which the polii
clans Who sre Uppos' 10 him have at
racbed THY say, 'B!aire is not csnti
daie'-HhIch is tru.-'becluse be cast
csrrv New York which is not true. Ask
senator Warner Miller or Representative
Frank Hiscock whether Blaine can carry
NV York. Bsine's strength in New York
Is exactly like his strength in Pennsylva-
ris. The masses OF Republican voters are
for him in both States. The mssses OF Ke-
publican voters in Ohio and Indiana are
for him Ask Senator Harrison or General
Tom Brown, of Indiana, or Judge Taylor,
Of Ohio. These, except Indiana, are count
I'd ss doubtful States. Blaine stands where
he bss always stood-the representative OF
a 4system Of popular control against sys'
rem OF manipulation and control by the
lew"
He WOuld Accept.
Would Blaine accept the nomination II
it should be rendered him by ne Conven'
tion?"
Undoubtedly. II he is nominated by
the Convention he will accept and will be
elected"
Suppose certain leaders refuse to sup
port him."
"In the first place, no Republican is
likely TO oppose his election. In the sec
ond place-snd thus is the point | would
empbssize-nobody in this country OF ours
can take with him q following worth
counting against the wishes Of the masses.
What are Blaine's chances"
Excellent. District conventions will
be held in nearly eli States. That fsc'
gives strong assurance of Blaine's nomins
tion, because he Is unquestionably Che
choice OF the masses Of the Republican
party in all the States"

He served one term as City Sergeant, being
elected in 1879. During this time az inves.

not retain their enmity in the face Of death.
