PRACTICAL POLITICIAN
Frost the Jtice Observer Dem.
The most ridiculous feature of this
Blaine movement is the readiness with
which he is indorsed by men and
newspapers that habitually sneer at
practical politics" To this class be-
long the New York Tribune, Roches-
ter Democrat and Utica Herald The
grievance Of these journals against
Arthur is that he is an adept in the
lowest arts of politics-a political
prestidigitateur rather than states
man. i ct Arthur is overmatched by
Blaine in this respect. The Maine IA
vorite has no superior as a political
manipulation, and the fact that the
whining "reformer" of the press follow
admirably his adroit leadership speaks
volumes for the inconsistency and
hypocrisy of the professed enemies of
practical politics.
FLOWER Is THE MAN.
From the Troy Iress-Dcm.
We agree with our esteemed contem-
poraries that have expressed the opin-
ion that Mr.. Roswell P. Flower, of
New York, is the right man for the
place. His nomination would give far
stronger assurance of success than that
of any other man to the party. This
State would in that event be sure for
the Democratic party. No matter who
might be the Republican candidate
Arthur, Blaine, Edmunds, Sherman,
nybody-the vote of this State would
be for Mr.. Flower.
THE VOTE OF THE SOUTH.
From the Pitsbtrg Commercial Gazette-Rep.
If President Arthur declines to press
his canvass in the South, he is likely
to win instead of lose votes by it.
Blaine and Logan will both have sup
! porters from that section, as will Sher-
man, who is now occupying very
conspicuous position as the head Of
the movement to investigate the po-
litical outrages in Virginia and Mis-
sissippi. There will not be so many
i instructed delegates as there were four
years ago, and the vote will be more
largely distributed.
! RATHER TOO ARISTOCRATIC.
From the Dcnrer 1ribune-Rep.
Indiana is preparing to enter Ben.
Harrison for the Presidential race. He
will not do. There is no possibility of
any enthusiasm in a Harrison cam
paign. Harrison has ability and is a
strong conservative man i'll some re-
spcc,s, but he is too cold to attract
people and not of large enough calibre
to have his brains make up for his
lack of blood. Indeed, it is not at all
| probable that his nomination would
excite any warmth of feeling even in
Indiana.
A SIGH FOR BLAINE.
From the Trenton, N. J.,) Tlmes-I,pd
Blaine has unquestionably been the
Republican favorite for years. Yet
he cannot secure nomination. Even
many of his warmest friends deem it
unwise to put him at the head of the
ticket. They arc afraid that his very
popularity might defeat him. Yet
how many men there are in the land
who would like, above all things, tu
vote for James G Blaine for President
ARTHUR,s LITTLE GAME.
From the Depuer Nsms Dem.
Arthur shows what meal ly-mouth
ed coward he is by announcing semi
officially that he is playing for sec
| Olltl CllOlCC III lllc ullNellIlOH- Ills lie
emit-ently characteristic Of the man.
He wants denomination, but he docs
not dare to openly seek it because that
he would be weaker than either Lo
gan, Sherman, Blaine. or Edmunds.
A FINE CoMBINATIoN.
From tbe Chicago Press-Dem.
For President, Roswell Z. Flower
of New York for Vice President
} Carter II. Harrison, of Illinois-how
does that ticket strike the Democratic
readers of the Daily Press. Flowei
will willingly furnish "the bar'l," an,
; Harrison-well, Carter will contribntt
the eloquence and the brains.
PREJUDICE AGAINST CORNELL.
, From the Albany Times- Dem.
The Lockport Journal asks: "Hov
) would this do ?-Logan and Cornell.
1t would do bully. We are in favor
of it; especiall Cornell. Every bod,
: would rejoice over Cornel's nomina
ton. There is very Widespread desir,
+ to.ses him get getunmercifully wa'loped.
! WANTS THE OLD TICKET.
From the 1Gnkhannock (I'a.) Ne,o Age Dem
We can see no good reason why W,
have not a good right to make sug
gestions as to who shall be our stan
dard bearers in the coming campaign
We present the portraits of Hancocl
ana English, who stood the fight in 1880
MIR. PAYNE WILL ESCAPE.
From the Ail,0auke Wisconsin-Rep.
Henry b. Payne, the Senator-ele,
from Ohio, has announced through hi
: son, Oliver, that he will not be Pres
: ident candidate, and he will soon de
. part for Europe to get rid Of office
begging opportunities.
INCENSE FOR EnMUNDs.
From the Boston Tra,Lscript-Rcp
Edmunds would satisfy the coun
e try's ideal as to ability, freedom iron
/ the control of small politicians and
/ past career in Congress which has II
SAVIOR of jobbery in it.
!. THE HOME ORGAN SPEAKS.
From tic Cleveland Plain Deaier-Rep.
We violate confidence when W
say that Mr.. Payne does not desire t
be President. He is content to sery
: his State and country Senator.
A GOOD ADVERTISEMENT.
n From tic Philadelphia Iaquirsr- Rep.
IS Whether Mr.. Blaine is candidat
n for President or not all this talk abou
J. him is magnificent advertisement
for his forthcoming book.
