TIE GAZETTE has been very emphatic
in its denunciations of men and measures,
especially when it had good reason to be
lieye that such men and measures were dis
astrous to the best interests of States and
the integrity and prosperity of the republic.
We have been unsparing in our exposures
of the public career of Mr.. James G. Blaine,
but we must enter protest against our con
freres, in this State and throughout the
country, in their persistent efforts to COM
pei Mr.. Blaine to come out and tell the
country the real cause of the secrecy of his
double nuptials to the same lady within a
given time. We submit that Mr.. Blaine
has told enough, and he ought to be excus-
cd from any further revelations. We are
not inclined, like some, to question the
veracity of all that Mr.. Blaine says. He
has told the country that those irregular,
secret, semi-annusl marriages were per-
formed, '.tor Obvious reasons" and believe
him. We believe Mr.. Blaine had ''rea-
SONS" for his irregular conduct, and we be-
lieve that his reasons" were 'obvious."
Mr.. Blaine is not the man to do any thing
without an obvious" reason. It is not
kind in the country, through its press, to
press this great hopeful to tell in plain Eng
lish what these "obvious reasons" were
There are something's, in mems lives, that
are secrets" obvious reasons"--with which
stranger shall not intermeddle. Let Mr..
Blaine's cause of his secret marriages be
one. Hush! He has told enough.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 1.
IAN HONEST man is the noblest work OF

God" In very brief time sixty millions
of people will render verdict for honest
government or againstit. 1t is momentous
case that has been presented to the country
and the world awaits the Judgment with
anxiety; for the principles established at
the foundation of this republic are at stake,
and civil liberty and constitutional freedom
hang in the balance. The questions that
were multitudinous at the opening OF the
csmpaign. and embraced the tariff, the pro-
lection of American workmen, vigorous
foreign policy and the Improvement OF the
American merchant marine, have narrowed
down into one vital and all absorbing
question, and that important question STANDS
ont boldly and defantly, aud proclaims for
honesty. The most important factor and
feature of all human transactionsls honesty,
for without its controlling influence trade
would be piracy, commerce would be high
way robbery, aud the foundation rocks oil
all business intercourse would be swept
away. Honesty is the pledge that renders
contracts sacred, that inspires confidence
and creates trust. 1t is the connecting link
that holds society together in honorable
condition. 1t is the pillar that supports all
successful and enlightened governments. IL
ia tha sacred armor that renders man in
vulnerable and turns the shafts of caumny
as the rock turns back the sea. 1t is that
BRIGHT distinction that marks man as true
during life, and makes for him history
after death It is the star by which COM
merce is steered, the orbit around which
reyolves the business world. 1t dignities,
it ennobles, it achieves; it gives TO the
lowly a nobility, it creates for all special
order of merit. And measuring up to these
high requirements is the man whose wise
direction and royal injunction TO tell the
truth, come whence it may, cost what 1t
will' stamp him as of the fiber of which
wise rulers are made Grover Cleveland's
public life, from its inception to this time,
has been record Of the fairest stamp, his
official conduct of the highest type, and
his executive department of the most stain
less character. He has not rewarded thieves
for their support, nor upheld criminals IN
their attempt to defraud; he has not used
official place aud power and knowledge to
improve his private fortune, nor has be
degraded the public service to promote his
private ends. As sheriff he was vigilant,
as an attorney for the commonwealth he
was faithful, as mayor he was honest, as
Governor he is pure, aud rs the chief ex.
ecutive of this nation he will DE steadfast,
true and incorruptible. Cleveland's advance
in life has not been the reward of unscru-
pulous dealings, nor the result Of large
personal following, but has been the reward
that should always follow rectitude, high
manhood, and devotion to the public
service.
