MR.. BLAISE's EARLY RECORD.
A Telling Editorial From the New ork
Evening Mail and Express.
Especial to the Kennebec Journal

Especial 10 the hennebec Journal
New YORK, July 2s.
The Mail and Express Of today has a tell
ing editorial on the attacks on Nr. Blaine's
early record which have been hegun in the
democratic press. II says "Such Journal
ism is not good politics in the case of any
man like Mr.. Blaine, who has been a fighter
from the start, who mas conquered by open
methods every inch of ground he has won,
and who has achieved sort and extent OF
popularity with Americans of all creeds and
races that no bigot, whatever his abilities.
ever won in free and enlightened country.
The game of overhauling and reproducing
the early differences of men of real power and
fairly won popularity, has always been
losing one. 1t was tried on Peel, Disreli
and Gladstone, and in each case was dismal
and disastrous failure, yet the glaring incon-
sistencies and early follies OF these great
leaders were enough to invite the experiment.
The illustrations in American politics of the
same UNIV illingness to obscure the mature
largeness, sagacity and hberality of great
men by the shadows of forgotten mistakes or
oped by peculiar times are so plenty that we
need not give them after noting the position
IN which the democrat party is placed in the
matter Of early records by reason of Hen
parison between this action and that of the
men who formed the republican party, it says
of MIR. Blaine's past in that work: "Braver,
truer or wiser political work was never done
by any politician in the country, and the
common sense of our Irish or German Amer
leans will judge of the spirit in which and of
the ends for which these revolutionists and
party builders worked by the general results
they accomplished, and by the spirit they
have shown since they brought out the mag.
nifcent organization that elected Lincoln,
who saved the nation, enfranchised labor and
opened to the poor man of all foreign lands,
not only the North, enriched by republican
politics, but the South surrendered, by the
democracy, to owned labor, and the New
West" which the democracy wanted to sur
render, to slave labor" The editorial con-
cludes; Great public careers are not judged
by the microscopic examination of dishonesty
elected specimens. The American people
know great man after they have had him
before them for twenty years in a large way
and neither sensational journalism nor
vicious personal politics has ever bound such
man. Mr.. Blnine has certainly nothing to
fear and great deal to gain from any assaults
that bring before Americans native or adopt
ed the beginnings Of his career as a public
man. Keep up an examination of the files of
the Kennebec Journal gentlemen of the de-
moralzed and wretchedy led opposition. The
more completely you can awaken and enliven
the public interest in this caption of Mr..
Blanes career the more we shall be pleased

GREELY'S ARRIN Al.
A Reception to be Given Him at Ports
mouth Next Saturday and one at
NewburypOrt, Aug. Ilth.
NFwBrRYPoRT, Mass, july 2S

NEwBURYPoRr, Mass, July Is.
The general committee on the Greely re-
ception met tonight and completed arrange
ments for the reception which will probably
take place August llth. A committee was
appointed to procure suitable testimonial
from the citizens to Lieut.. Greedy. The diff
ferent fire companies have voted to participate
and will invite neighboring fire companies to
Join. Lieut.. Greely's wife and children, with
mother and brother will meet him on the ar
rival of the fleet at Portsmouth. 1t is ex-
pected that Secretary Chandler will accom-
pany the Greedy party to Newburyport on the
steamer Bear on the day of the reception.
WASHINGTON, July 2S
Secretary Chandler today telegraphed from
Portsmouth, n. Il, to Rear Admiral Nichols
that there will be a naval reception to the
Arctic relief ships at that place on Saturday
next; also city and State reception Monday.
The secretary directed that the fact be com
municated to all the cabinet ministers, ad
miral and vice admiral of the navy and
lieutenant general of the army and asked that
they be requested to be present on one or
both days
Rear Admiral Nichols. acting secretary of
the navy, today. received report from Com.
mander Schley dated St Johns, July 2lst, in
which he saws that in prosecuting the search
for Lieut.. Greely's party it was often nee
essary in ordsr to gain open ice so as to ad-
vance with as little delay as possible to take
greater risks than are ordinarily iustifisbe, az
the waters were mainly unknown. Their
dangers were enhanced and to a great extent
covered by the ice. He says that while great
prudence was exercised both the Thetis and
the Bear grounded two or three times. but
without serious injury. He says he pur-
posely avoided reference to these accidents in
telegraphic report for fear of causing un-
easiness but in his final report he will give
minute statement of the circumstances of each
grounding aud of the injuries sustained. The
rapidity and the success of the voyage, he
SAYS, shows that the injury to the ships was
not serious.

CROP REPORTS.
Cotton Suffers from the DrOuth-COrn
Crop Fair-Wheat Making
Fine Showing.

GALVESTON, Tex, July 2S
Concerning the present drouth and the con-
ditlon OF the crops in Texas the News says that
the accounts from growing crops that continue
TO reach the News are anything but encourage
ing. In some districts full crops of corn are
assured but in many portions of the State even
the corn cropis not satisfactory. The yield of
wheat and small grain is abundant wherever
planted. Cotton in all sections is in preca-
rious condition from the continued drouth.
The heavy rains of spring and early summer
retarded planting operations and the crop,
such as it il, is very late. The drouth of the
past six or eight weeks has stunted the growth,
and everywhere the cry comes up for rain
Should the drouth continue for two weeks
longer incalculable injury will be done and
the cotton crop will be cut short. disastrously
On the other hand, with general rains within
week or two, affair cotton yield may be made
The situation of the cotton crop in Texas is
certainly critical.
