Mr.. ucavner IL one Of tho best c~itizena

State. lie is not a "tr:cxy politician" lie

he desired to DO a delegate; ho was chosen
because no Is for Blaine and will stay by
him while "thcre 10 ia any reasonable pros.

him did not need this assurance; but it il
not strange that lo 10 unwilling TO rest un

people.
Mr.. Z. p. Jacobs. a bright young man o.
most excellent repute, is another suspect
suspected with equal reason. In the New
Martinsville Mss%hger, Of which he is edi
Tor. Issue OF last week, he has a ringing ed
torial article entitled "Dlaine." From THU
article the following extra cts are taken:
IniSSO tho great msjority Of the .Republi
can party were enthusiastically In favor O.
OF the nomination OF james g. Blaine for the
Presidency. Too much machine politics
however, oyerbore him and the peoples
choice wont dorm in the death struggle with
the third te,msrs.
And now in this year OF grace 1881, the
rank and file OF the Republican party, dieap,

and tho murdercr's bullet, have arisen in
their might and II the sigma CT tho times indi'

Man from Maine shall be their Henry OF
Navarro"
The people have this year OF all others had
their " way. II you csn take anything
from what they say, they mean Blaine for
President.
The American continent does not possess

irg hosts.
The times are ripo for his candidacy. The
Republicans OF the country are anxious to
array themselyes under. bis Leadership, and
II we mistake not his nomination is assured,
and II nominated We cor ildently predict the
most complete victory any political party
ever achieved In the history OF American
politics.
We are 10. Blaine and Lincoln. The
finger OF destiny points the way.
Anti.Blaine men don't talk this way;
and men Of Mr.. Jacobs character don't
strain themselves lying for advancement.
Mr.. Jacobs needs no surety, but the INTEL
LIGENcER will 20 on his bond for all there
is u! stake, He is not under instruction,
but he will support Blaine as long as there
is "aAy reasonable prospect Of his nomina.
tion."
The ether "suspects" are quite as free
IRON the faint Of Implicitly. They will 20
into the convention for Blaine, and they
will support him while he has a 'reesona-
BILE prospect" Nobody can demand more.
It is a poor compliment to these gentle.
men to herald them to the country as
tricksters, but the Democratic managers
lelt that the importance Of the occasion de.
manded something; and since they
could not say that the people had been de.
ieated in open battle, they have declared
that the popular will hes been thwarted
by sharp practice. There is no truth in
this es applied to any ono Of the twelve
delegates.
