Can't BE Avoided.

1t is apprehended that this is going
to be campaign If scandal; that this
Presidential year will be signalized By
an unusual amount of mUd-slinging.
These apprehensious are induced by the
free manner in which the public record
OF the. leadip. candidate on the Repub-
lican ticket is made the subject of COM
ment and exposed to critical examina-
ton. His supporters depreca'e the de-
rogatory remarks that are made about
the fayosite of the Stac-ryu:ers and
land-gran: jobbers and condemn As a
scandalous procedure the analytical
process to which his practices as .
statesman are subjected.
But what may ordinarily appear as a
scandalous way OF treating candidate
can not be avoided in Biaine's case.
When the facts connected with his ca
reer are plainly presented delieacy in
handling his case would be unfairness
to the people who are asked to elevate
him TO the highest Office in their gift.
Ii Z threatening evil may be prevented
by the use o. harsh means il would be
iueXcusable weakness to allow deli
eacy as 10 the mole OF treatment IN in
ter-ere with the obvious duty requiring
its prevention. When q candidate for
an important public trust is presented
to the people, the extreme nicety that
would regard the exposure of his de-
merits As scandalous Is not the kind Of
sentiment to be relied upon when the
public welfare is IN question. -

Disappointed and Hopeless.

The death of Garfield and the retire
mcut of Mr.. Blaine To private life have
eliminated in the elevation of the 'attrr
10 the hcad ot his party. This result
has long been anticipated MIR. Blaine
himself has invited it by pursuing \
policy thn >uite,t.hs times and circum-
stances. Without soliciting votes he
kept himself before the people, SO that
all knew he was IL keen an asplrant rs
he was in 1876 or in 1880. He has thus
become the staudard-bcarer of his par
~; and he must now face. not poll
t,cians and delegates within his own
ranks. but great party that has no
faith in him or the principles OF tho
platform upon which he stands.
He was nominated at the end Of u
struggle of almost unprecedented bitter
ness. The very circumstances of his
nomination must have tendency t.
arouse factional feelings. and Mr.
Elaine himself represents all that Grant
and Conkling and the stalwarts general
ly loath and dc>pise. But Rlaine's
weakness chiefly consists in his restless
ambition in his desire To inauguratc u
dazzling. snowy policy both at home
and abroad. Unce seated he would be-
gin II campaign for u second term. and
the country would be apt To be treated
To policies that would not promote its
growth and prosperity. In times like
present the country does not waht IN
irritating foreign policy or a disturbing
domestic policy. 1t would be apt to got
both if il elects Mr. Blaine.
Thoughtful people will be apt to hes
itate before they vote for the brilliant
and restless man from Maine. The
overpreSsed business man. who can not
leave his office or store or factory for n
summer rest. will be apt to think twice
before he helps 10 the Presidency
man whose career has been full of sur
priSes and daring declarations. MIR.
Blaine is no, safe man. and the busi-
ness world knowsit.
How. then, can man VINO can not poll
in the doubtful States. and particularly
in New York, the full vote Of his party
because of factional differences, and who
does not possess the confidence in crit
ical business period of business men
how can such q magnetic and
brilliant though he be--hope to carry
the country? He can not carry New
York, nor New Jersey. nor Indiana. and
it is not altogether certain that he can
carry Massachusetts. The best men in
his own party in the last named State
will not support him except in the mos,
perfunctory manner, and if TO luke
warmness in political ranks proper. is
developed distrust in business circles.
even the Old Bay State may win place
in the Democratic column.
Be the result what it may the bread
and-buiter brigade and the cOiored
troops generally returned home in a dis
pirited and hapless condition. They
bet on horse that was easily distanced.
and the entire gang can not now estab-
lsh a single claim upon Mr.. Blaine.
They can not east an electoral vote,
and the only influential votes they had
Or will have this year were persistently
east against the plumed knight. They
fought nobly. but their foresight was
not equal To the occasion. and they will
now proceed to chew the bitter cud oi
disappointment. Mr.. Blaine owes them
nothing.-Afiaata Constitution.

BIaine's RepeIlent Personal Magnetism.

The personal magnetism of James G..
Blaine is not so powerful as to attract
the whole body Of his party to his sup
port. In fact, the negative pole of the
Maine magnet seems u have rather
more influence than the positive IT.
repelient power is absolutely astonish
ing.
There is not an independent Journal
of any standing or influence. from Maine
to California. that does not oppose the
election of Blaine. Indeed, some Of the
most reputable and influential Repub-
lean newspapers are as pronounced
and emphatic in their opposition to the
Republican nominee as any Democratic
newspaper in the land.
The Boston Adrertiser, Springfield
Mass Republican, Worcester Mass
Spy, New York Times, New York
Erening Post and Brooklyn Union are
prominent among the Republican jour.
nais which have already announced
their hostility to Blaine These papers
supported every Republican candidate
for the Presidency from Fremont TO
Garfield.
The Independent journals of note
Whlcn oppose t0e election OF Blame are
the Boston Herald. New Haven News,
New York Herald. New York Morning
journal. New York Truth, New York
Staats Zeitung, Puck, Philadelphia Rec-
ori, Philadelphia Times and Chicago
Times. Other Independent journals
deplore the action of the Republican
Convention in making him the nomi-
nee.
These newspapers are read daily by
not less than million voters. The In
iluence they will exert upon the minds
of intelligent and thoughtful people
will be quite sufficient to ensure Mr..
