VIEWS OF PROMINENT NEW WORKERS.
Rev. DR.. Howard Crosby says that
Mr. Blaine .'will not receive the moral
support of the community" and ''if the
democrats should put up man with
Il clean record, for one should vote
for him." Rev. DIR. Deems says Mr..
Blaine's nomination will greatly
weaken the party; he thinks Tilden
would have declined the democratic
nomination as against Arthur, Lincoln,
or Sherman, but now he will very likely
accept, and "if he does, Mr.. Blaine will
hardly he elected Robert Collyer
sid he was much disheartened by the
nomination he should have preferred
Arthur to Blaine and Edmunds to
either; if the democrats put up the
right sort of man, he should support
him. John Clatiin, of ii. b. Clatlin &
Co., said &: ''lf the democrats put up a
| first-rate man | shall vote for him, if
not shall go fishing. 1t goes against
the grain to bolt the republican ticket,
but it is less an evil to elect Il good
democrat than to permit the reins OF
the government to fall into the hands
of Blaine and Logan"
WILL NOT SUPPORT A KNAvE.
One can, in acting with the party
sink objections to candidates Opin-
ions, or to his manners, or to his temper
or to his public aims or policy, or to
his political career, for the sake
of the great things which party
unity may be expected to bring about
But no voter can sink lis objections to
Il candidate on the score of personal
dishonesty. No voter dares to tell his
friends or his family that he is going
to vote for IL man knowing him to be a
knave. In dealing with this class OF
objections his obligations to human
society take inevitable precedence OF
his obligations to any party, however
old, honored, or useful. That Mr.
Blaine cannot be elected, we look on as
certain. Whether he can be defeated
without running the organization which
is being prOstituted i'll the service 81
his selfish ambition, remains to be
seen. Whatever happens, we
believe great political publication
will be the result, and we shall some
how have party which will represent
the American people in its nOblest
mood, and will adequately express the
national respect for the virtues 10y
which governments as well as home.

ONE DANGER FROM BLAINE.
Wherever Mr.. Blaine can Oust the
British from the position they hold OF
the American continent he will en-
deavor to replace English influence
and trade by American. His menacing
intimation that lie would disregard the
Clayton Bulwer treaty is an evil aug
nry for the future relations of England
and America His Intervention i'll
Peru was most ominOus when he de-
clared that he disliked England tt

which legitimately belong to America
England will watch with extreme SO
licitude the progress of the electOra
campaign Pail Mall Gazette.
