ton of Blaine and Logan, and the Democratic
press sullenly admit that the ticket is very
strong
Terre Haute Express: 1t is fair presumption
that Mr. BlaiEe's letter of acceptance will be the
equal of any like contribution to national cam
paigns gone before 1t will be an inspiring doc
ument.
South Bend Register: The Democrats are
very much afraid that the nomination of Blaine
will cause trouble in the Republican party, The
interest taken in the Republican party by
Democrats at this time is remarkable.
Richmond Palladium: Two or three big Bost-
ing and New Yawk papers don't like it because
Blaine was nominated. This is too bad; but
then the Republican party is a good deal bigger
than even half dozen Boosting and New Yawk
papers.
Terre Haute Courier: James G. Blaine is I'M
d2r,btedly the most popular man in -, America Fa
with the young men of all parties. This fact
alone makes him the most formidable candidate
the Republicans could have nominated. The
young Republicans will take the lead in this
campaign
Logansport Journal Mr.. Blaines American
ism is distasteful to England for the same
reason that it is obnoxious to the Democracy.
The latter imbibes its doctrines from the former
and listens with child like obedience to the doc
trines of its tutor.
Terre Haute Express: Attention is called to
the fact that the socalled Republican news
papers which are DolJlng the nomination OIL
Mr.. Blaine are without exception advocates of
the doctrine of free trade, and that they are
newspapers which have been in the habit of
boiling at the wrong time.
Evansville journal: Blaine is not politician.
He is statesman His laurels have been won
onmany stubbornly contested field. His history
is contemporary with that of the Republican
party. He is the hero of every young man who
has his own way TO make in the world and the
idol of the party veterans who vote the ticket
from principles.
Muncie News The tariff plank in the Repub-
lican platform meets the hearty Endorsement of
the producer and laboring man who are as
deeply interested in the government protecting
the interests of Americans first, as any other
class OF citizens, no matter what their occupa-
ton may be- The platform suits everybody and
applies equally to every section of the Union 1t
is long enough, broad enough and strong enough
to carry the Republicans to a glorious and
decisive victory in November next
Shelbyville Republicans: The savage scurrility
which pursued Garfield throughout the canvass
of 80 cost him no votes, but made him friends.
A similar line of attack on Blaine will result
similarly. This kind of campaign is entirely too
much INDUCED in by the newspapers OF both par
ties. The Republicans greatly overdid the abuse
of Tiden, and the Democrats pressed the attack
on Garfield to disgraceful extremes. Such
style of political warfare is a disgrace to our
parties and the chief blemish of our party press
on both sides
New Albany Ledger DENY 1t is said that
the caricature of Blaine as the tattooed man
had much to do with the nomination at Chicago
1t aroused his friends and created sympathy
among others. 1t should be lesson to cartoon
lists. The fact is the American people do not
take kindly to that sort of wit or argument. 1t
is too coarse. 1t may suit the sums of London
and the Bohemians of Paris, but the average
American reader is of higher order of intelli-
genee Nast's cartoons have probably lost

Vincennes Commercial: The Democracy have
already commenced with their vituperation of
the Germans. The Democratic papers say that
the Germans will not support Blaine because
they are afraid lest he should involve America
in a war! This silly reason from the Democratic
press brands the Germans as pack of towards,
and is an insult and injury to the German ele-
ment of the country. The Germans are as brave
and true and patriotic as any other nationality,
and are not so cowardly that they will vote
against the great Republican leader because
they fear war" Down with such al infamous
Insult
