1t is because Blaine is and always has been
a pronounced, open, bitter republican that we
arc glad of his nomination. His election next
November will be doubly significant. 1t will
be more an Endorsement of the principles OF
the party than of an individual member
thereof. 1t will be tho Endorsement OF one
who is a believer from the bottom of his soul
in the principles of his party, and its ablest
and boldest defender. James G.. Blaine /!
the fittest man to lead our columns to victory
In electing him the party vindicates ITSELF
