Political Notes and Comment.

BLAINE mas alfeady accomplished
what no other man in this country
could possibly have done-he has
forced the sphinx of Gramercy Park to
lay aside his riddles and to speak out
plainly for once in his life.-Proni.
de71ce Press.
No CANDIDATE for the Presidency
since Mr.. Clay has possessed so many
personal and mental qualities as Mr..
Blaine, so attractive to the better class
of young men in the South Ci7acia-
natl Commercial Gazette.
EX-SENATOR Tom PLArr, of New
York, says he is advised that the Repub-
licans of the rural districts of that
State are unit for Blaine, and that,
with the aid of Democrats who admire
the Republican nominee, he will poll ar
immense country vote.
DEMOCRATS are in high glee over
Blaine's nomination. So they were
over Garfeld's. All the same, Garfield
was elected. It takes something more
than high glee to defeat any kind of a
Republican candidate, and Democrats
will do we'll not to forget it.-NeaUark
IN. j. Free Press.
The Pail Mall Gazette calls Blaine
the Beaconsfeld beyond the sea, +"
which is but another way of saying
that he is the most brilliant statesman,
most adroit diplomatist, and most skill
full politician in public life in America
For the Pail Mall Gazette to compare
Blaine to Beaconsield was putting the
case as strong as conservative English
man could put it.-ErchG,age.
EX-SENATOR MCDONALD says the
Blaine-Logan ticket is very strong
one, and that the Democrats will have
all they can do to beat it. He fears
that Blaine will get a large vote from
the Irish democrats. Senator Kenna
admits that Blaine is strong in West
Virginia, and most of the Democratic
leaders admit that he will carry Ohio.
That State will give heavy Republic
can majority in October Hereafter
the campaign will be red-hot and the
Democracy on the defensive and re-
treating.
The Natchez (Miss.) CRUSADER says
of James G.. Blaine: James Gillespie
Blaine is the grandest type of Young
America on the Western Continent, re-
presenting every living idea of this pro-
gressive age and comprehending the
wants and aspirations of the people
North, South, East, and West as no
other civilian ever before understood
them. His administration will develop,
foster, and protect every industry favor
able to our commercial greatness and
glory-as q united people -and carry
the republic upward and onward in the
march Of civilization. +"
TIE New York Commercial Adver-
tiser is almost persuaded to fall into
line again, and march with the Repub-
ican column. In q long article on the
political situation, the editor speaks
plainly to the Independents, telling
them there is absolutely nothing left
them but to choose between the two
older parties. Not to vote at all is to
give efficacy to the vote Of another on
one side or the other. The editorial
concludes: 8 Our general conclusion is,
therefore, that, until the new fields to
which we are invited present q lovelier
view than now, we shall stay in the re
gions to which we are used. We shall
acquiesce IN the fact accomplished,
and the same motives which induce Us
to acquiesce at all will induce Us 10 fol-
low that acquiescence up with frank
and energetic action.
