The "Brend winners. -

According to our dispatches to-day
the rumor has gained credence that Jas.
@. Blaine is the author Of the novel of
'sThe Bread Winners" recently publish
ed in the Century Magasine. We should
be sorry to believe this to be true, be.
cause, personally, we have always had a
certain kind OF admiration for "the
white plumed knight, of Maine, especial.
ly when we remember what an effort he
made to secure anti Chinese legislation
for the Pacific Coast, during the Hayes
administration. But II it be true that
Blaine really did write that story, it
lays him out forever, stark and cold in
the political grave yard. No working
man who ever read that novel, or learns
of its purport, would ever vote for its
auther, for any Office, under any con.
sideration. Although purporting to be
. novel, 1t is really fierce, bitter attack
on the working people of our country,
and on their taking part in the govern
ment. II it teaches anything, it is that
rich men, and they alone, should have
the right of voting and holding office.
We are not prepared to believe that Mr.,
Blaine, although ardent Republican
that he is, wrote that book, and will not
do SO, except upon proof positive. Yet
the "Bread Winners" is nothing but
good Republican doctrine, after all. We
remember to have seen statement in n
leading magazine as to the great secresy
that was observed in the publication OF
'The Bread Winners" None of the
authors copy" was sent into the
printers room, all the original hand =
writing being first copied and then
burned. Only one man connected with
the magazine ever saw the original hand
writing, or knew who the author was,
and when he coresponded with the
author, the letters were always ad-
dressed to and their answers signed by
fictitious name. Everything was done
that was possible to keep secret the real
author. Wonder has been expressed
why this was done. Many have surmis-
ed, of course, that some politician wrote
the book, who did not desire to have his
political prospects ruined by connection
with it. but this is the first hint we
have had as to the individuals person.

AS one little index tending to point TO
the general sentiment Of the Republican
party, 1t Is only necessary to refer to the
leading choice Of their organs for Vice.
President Blaine and Iiscoln are said to
be ahead in the preference Of Republicans
for President and Vice President, respec.
lively. Blaine is an old and doughty
champion and an able man, but who is
this young person they propose to place
in the second office in the land, with
only one life between him and the Pres
dency! As compliment to the memory
Of his great and good father, whose abil-
tiles he has thus far given no evidence
Of inheriting. II was probably proper
enough to place him at the head of de.
partment, where his duties, at most, are
only those Of chief clerk. But the idea
Of making this young man without ex-
psrience in any position which could test
BIZ talents. yice.President of the United
etAtes, is simply absurd. In
case the Republicans should sue.
seed, and the President should un-
fortunately die or become disabled,
what President we would havsi Who
would ever think Of him in such con.
nection, were he not "the son of his
father." While we honor his ancestry,
w think no one has right to Office by
Inheritance, in the United States; and
that one American is just as good as any
other American OF equal morality and
tntsliigencs, without regard to who or
what his father was. This is Democ.
racy. II may not be Republicanism.
Republicans advocate Lincoln because
They ignore the present and its needs
entirely, and live In and ON the memo.
ries Of the war, and because they are
prone to favor hereditary aristocracy,
- well as the moro vulgar aristocracy OF
wealth. The Democracy has had some
great men who died and left children,
but no one thought OF making those sons
Presidents or ice-Presidents, for that
reason only. If any other reason exists
why Bob" Lincoln should have any
claim on the American people, we con.
fsss we do not know what is.
