NEW YORK, June 6.-The Herald
leader tomorrow morning will be
headed, "Worse than crime.r
1t will say: "Finally the great agony
is over, and Mr.. Blaine is the candidate
of the Republican party for the Office
of President of the United States. We
are sorry for it, and we believe the Re-
publicans will all be sorry for it next
November. The indignation of decent
opinion at the ever-recurring nuisance
of the Blaine candidacy, a revolt against
the open shamelessness of the Blaine
men ahd their methods, and at their
scheme Of carrying things with r.
and not by reason, has made men feel
that at last perhaps there was but one
cure for all this, which was to have the
Blaine element carry the Convention
and nominate their man, and then see
the man the party buried out of sight
by an overwhelming defeat at the hands
of the people. All who have felt thai
way have their cure before them, and
they may at least congratulate them
selves that they are now indeed in q
fair way to have done with Blaine foo-
ever.
NEW YoES TIMES.
The Times will print tomorrow a
columns leader on the nomination that
for bitterness and sarcasm has seldom
been equaled in public journal. 1t
will reiterate in condensed form the
charges of bare-faced swindling against
Blaine, and the fact that while Speake''
of the House. bartered his official in
fluence for private gain. The article
will then say that Blaine's defeat is ce-"
tai1. "There will be nothing ambig-
uous about the defeat ST Mr.. Blaine,"
continues the Times. HE who runs
may clearly read the verdict in advance.
A candidate unworthy of confidence,
and party too careless of its own ho
or to be longer trusted with the henation's.
That defeat will be the salvation of the
Republican party. 1t will arouse its
toi pid conscience. 1t will stir it to
self-purifcation. 1t will send the rogues<
to the background and will make the
party once more worthy of honor and
of power in the Eepublic it hasso nobly
served.n
The Times concludes by declaring it
will not support Mr.. Blaine, and will
advise no man to vote for him.
NEW YORK SUN.
| The Sun will say tomorrow: MI.
Blaine is a fertile and sensational poll
tician, and he will force the fighting
from the start. Moreover, party in
power is always hard to beat, and the
Republican party can outdo in this re-
spect all others that ever existed OUT
side of Mexico. 1t will not be enough
to defeat Mr.. Blaine at the polls. 1t
will not be enough to have against him
an immense majority of the people. 1t
will not be enough to have majority of
the electoral college. Fraud and force
will be brought into play by the Repub-
lican office holdersin C54 Just as freely
Il they were in 1876. Mr.. Blaine is q man
of desperate espedients.
i NEW YoEK TRUTH.
1lu Ii will head its leader tomorrow:
'Suicide of the Republican p .rty," and
will say: "The republic. n party he's
been guilty of stupendous blunder in
nominating James G. Blaine. With
: such candidate it must enter upon
defensive campaign from the outset,
and that, too, with candidate the
Democratic party preferred for the Re
publican nomination. 1t must be con-
fessed that under such conditions the
outlook is not promising for the party
which has so long had control of The
government, but which now seems will
ling to sacrifice itself for man whom
it had twice co ldemned. Whom the
gods would dest oy the fist make mad.
Elane's nomination was freak of
madmen, but the madmen who non1-
mated him are not the ones who ought
to be held responsible for it. The de-
termination of few impracticable men
caused the defeat of q good President,
and has made bad President possible
}, NEW YORK STAR.
The Star will say in its leading edi-
, torial tomorrow: ''1here is a wide
} spread, popular belief that the discharge
of cannon will bring a swollen, de-
: composing corpse from the bottom to
the surface of pond. The noisy en-
, that effect at Chicago. Tattooed all
over with the indellible proofs ofvenali-
ty and corrupt practices, James Gillespie
Blaine, of Maine, has been chosen as
the standard bearer of the Republican
party. He represents all that is worst
in that party, its history and its policy

THE NEW YORK WORLD.
The World will say tomorrow:
The nomination of Blaine of Logan is
clearly the result of shameless politi-
cal bargain ,and represents the triumpbs
of the mercenares and worst elements
of the Republican party. The vote of
Logan decided Blaine's nomination.
The vote of Blaine nominated Logan in
return.
In presenting this extraordinary COM
bination of corruption and demagogism,
the Republican Convention acted with
unusual audacity and honesty.
DosroN, June THE Herald says:
believing that Blaine would be a bad
and dangerous President, we hope to
see him defeated"
The Aducrtiser says: ITO a large Sec
tion of the Republican party the NOM
ination of Blaine will appear ominous
