Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1884-06-19


The next administration, if the fates
decree that Blaine and Logan shall
be elected, will stand on its hind
legs and show its teeth to the whole
rest of the world.
The Denver Times: They blaine
and Logan have been for two de-
cades, and more, acknowledged
leaders of their party, two of the
ablest as well as Two of the most
radical and staunchest supporters of
its principles.
The Boston Traveller has all along
been the Arthur organ at the Hub,
says: Mr. Blaine is now the nomi-
nee of the national party, and Mas
saehusetts can we'll afford, now that
he is so by her own default, to sink
all petty regrets, forget all past an
tagonism, and rally once more
around the grand old banner of the
republican cause. Party loyalty de-
mands this, and patriotic duty for
bids anything else.
The Detroit Evening Journal, in
dependent, and with democratic pro-
cliyitles: James g. Blaine is the
most truly representative republican
in the nation, never weak and never
faltering. 1t has been his good for
tune to keep pace with the best
thought of his party and give tone
to his demand for sound finances, in
dustrial protection, and political as
well as personal emancipation, with
a courageous and forcefu champion
ship which has centered the eyes
and hopes of his party upon him.
Burlington Qa.) Hawkeye, Frank
Hatton's paper:) The Hawkeye cheer
fully acquiesces in the decision of
the party. The republican party
has made It's choice, the republican
party will support its choice, and the
republican party will elect its choice.
The "Plumed Knight" and the
"Black Eagle will lead the party to
glorious victory, and its proud rec
ord of the past twenty-four years
will remain unbroken.
Kansas City (Mo.) journal: With
out doubt, to-day, Blaine, of all our
public men, is the most popular,
nearest the people, and is more
thoroughly capable of arousing en-
thusiasm than any great character
before the people of the country.
The nomination implies a vigorous
and an enthusiastic campaign, and
an aggressive one without relaxation
or cessation.
Toledo (Ohio) Blade: The nomi-
nation is one eminently fit 10 be
made. We know exactly what kind
of president we shall have. In
this act the party has shown that it
is not afraid of itself or its record.
The record of Blaine is the record
of the party. All that the party
promises in its platform to do Blaine
has been doing all his life. There
is nothing milk-and-watery in the
platform, and there is nothing milk
andwatery in the candidate placed
upon it.
St. Paul Mimi Pioneer Press:
Both people and politicians have
called and called again for Blaine to
lead them on, and once and again
have they been denied. Now they
have received him at the hands of a
convention which gives him an in
dorsement rarely accorded to any
man, and we will see what they will
do with him.
Omaha (Neb.) Bee: The republi-
cans of the United States have chos-
en- as their standard bearers in the
national campaign of 1884 that
matchless leader, James G. Blaine,
the man who of all others is most
deeply enshrined in the hearts of
his countrymen, and that gallant vet
eran, Gen. John A. Logan, who has
achieved renown on the forum, on
the battlefield, and in the halls OF
congress.
Springfield Qll.) Journal: James
G. Blaine will be the next president
of the United States. 1t is the will
of the republic. 4 4 The ticket
would have been a strong one with
Blaine and any other name which
the convention could possibly have
fallen upon; but when Gen. Logan
was selected it Immediately assumed
the form of the strongest ticket
ever presented to the country.
| St. Louis Globe Democrat; 1t is
certain, at least, that the sober, aver
age, conclusive opinion of the repub
lican party is not only that Blaine is
the most fit deserving man, and al
things considered, who could be put
into the field, but that he can and
will be elected. He owes his nomi
nations to a convention representing
the best thought and feeling, aspira-
ton and conscience of the American
people; and the verdict of such &
