| canvass is that of a friend and physician.
1t is not with cynical Indifference, but
| with unspeakable sadness, that it sees the
Republican party perversely set its face
| toward error and its feet in vicious paths,
| for 1t has done some service to the party,
IN. Y. Times.
IF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?
We have not that great confidence in
| the Democratic party which would induce
| us to wish for a defeat of the Republican
party in the hope that such Democratic
victory would result benefcially. Alas
| we do not possess that unbounded conf
| dence in the perspicacity of the American
people, perspicacity which would make
| them see the danger that is in man like
Blaine and vote against him. We hope
that the Democratic party, through some
available candidate. who is tie opposite of
| but we prefer that the country had been
spared the danger of the election of such
| president.-N. Y. Stats Zeitung.-ILn In

GRANT BURIED.
His nomination unites the party as none
other could. There now need be no longer
any two wings. The third-term party de-
feated four years ago now disappears. Its
| leaders are now Blaine men. Not since
| Grant first term has the republican party
| been SO united as now; not since Lin
| coins second term has any leader been 80
beloyed.-Balt american.
BRILLIANT AND VULNERABLE.
The republican party has nominated its
most brilliant and most vulnerable men,
| Der for President of the United States.
! w it'll all the doubtful points of his record
| against him he has proved so strong with
| his party that no consideration of prudence
could avail against his determination of
climbing to the presidency if republican
votes could put him there. Can he carry
| New York against TiIden or even Cleve-
land ? 1t is extremely doubtful. The
great chance of the Democratic party has
! arrived.-N. Y. Journal.
THE NEW YORK HERALD THINKS THE
| NOMINATION WORSE THAN A CRIME"
The New York Herald calls Blaine g
| nomination "worse than a crime," and
says he will be done for forever in New
Y ork; that the country will gst rid OF the
| Blaine nuisance.

great political publication will be the re-
suit, and we shall somehow have people
in it's nobler mood and will adequately ex-
press the national respect for the Virtues

The silence of deliberate Judgment will

no fre-works-and we shall have plenty
of all these under the Observation-Disclosures"

the result. The judgment of the Ameri-

the convention was. Attempts to stimu-

A GREAT MAssACH UsETTs PAPER BOLTS.
The Boston Advertiser, the leading Re-
publican newspaper in New England, as
serts that to large section of the Repub-
lican party the nomination of Mr.. Blaine
will appear ominous of disaster. 1t will
mean to them that the party of sound
government and high moral purpose has
abdlcated it's place as the exponent of
principles, and that it's decision no longer
reflects the matured judgment of great
and responsible party. OF its own posi-
ton, it says:
We need not enter upon any formal de-.
claration of our own entire agreement
with those Republicans who, thus fail to
find in the nomination any fit expression
of the established principles and avowed
aims of the Republican party. The events
of the last three days have given us no
! answer to the objections SO often urged
in these columns against the nomination
of Mr.. Blaine and against the course of
Mr.. Blaine as public man, and have pre-
sented no contingency in which these OBJ
jectlons could be waived consistently with
the truth or political honor. We have
then nothing to retract and nothing to
modify. With undated devotion to the
great purposes for which the Republican
party was organized and has been main.
tanned, we declare our inability to sup
port the nomination, either in the present
aspect of the political field or in any
which now seems likely to present itself.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE CHICAGO
CONVENTION IN DOUBT.
Mr.. Henderson, the Chairman of the
Convention, said to me last night that
they would require very hard work and
exceedingly discreet management to elect
the ticket. You can readily see, 'he said,
shat there is formable number of men
in the convention opposed to Mr.. Blaine.
and the nomination of Mr.. Logan only in
tensifes their feelings. They represent
an element that cannot be ignored
if the Republican party expects to
succeed. Blaine and Logan both repre-
sent the same political methods which
have met with such bitter pronunciation
by eminent Republicans, so that practi-
cally the wing of the party in favor of
civil service and higher grade of politics
has no representative on the ticket. What
they will do [ cannot say. I myself was
in favor of Edmunds. p CHICAGO Cor. of

HOW CONGRESSMAN RECEIVED IT.
Mr.. Lyman, Republican representative
about represents the feeling of the George
William Curtis Republicans. Colonel
O'Ferrall said to him yesterday, "Blaine
is about to be nominated" LET them
nominate him." said he, land Massachus-
etts will vote for the Democratic ticket"
"You will vote for him." said Colonel
O'Ferrall. "No, won't,'' replied Mr..
Lyman. He held the same opinions after
the nomination, and to-day said Blaine
cannot carry New York. This class of
Republicans contend that New York will
not vote for Blaine because its business
men are afraid his aggressive foreign pol
icy will involve the country in war with
Spain or some other foreign nower Same
