disproved charges against Mr.
Blaine, to nominate him would be
an error and a wrong--an error, be-
cause it would place the Republican
party in a defensive position in a
campaign likely to be so closely con-
tested as to render it essential that
its position should be a peculiarly
aggressive one; a wrong, because
for great party to bestow its high
est hOnors upon the unworthy and
to deny them to the worthy was to
condemn the one and extol the other.
We felt that to warn the party
whose principals we profess our
faith in against the commission Of
this error and wrong our plainest
duty. We think so still.

THE BLAINE REVOLT
THE WAY TO UTILIZE 1T,
philadalnhia Raeord lima O

PhilAdslphiA Record, June o.
The refusal of the New York
Times, the New York Evening Post,
the New York Commercial AdUer-
tiser, the Boston Advertiser, the
Springfield Republican and other
organs of the Republican sentiment
to support James G. Blaine makes
very plain the course of the Demo
cratic party in the present contest.
Nesrly all Of these influential Re-
publican journals are earnest advo-
Gates of tariff refsrm, and they will
give Democratic candidate nom
mated ON this platform hearty and
effective support. 1t is true that
memo of these newspapers will sup
port Blaine in any conceivable cir
cumstance, as their opposition to
him rests chiefly upon the ground
of his personal unworthiness of the
Presidential office. But ifths Dem
Gratis commit the blunder of noms
mating a candidate who is not in
full sympathy with the movement
of tariff reform, they will chill into
neutrality great political element
which, If wisely csnciliated, would
make the election Of Blaine impos-
sible.

politicians, selected because of thei
ignorance of railroad questions AM
methods, and to whose appointment
it shall be prerequisite that they
have no experience of the vast anC
difficult business they are permitted
to manage this is manifestly alb
J surd.
Entertaining these views, we have
combated the efforts which have
been made in Kentucky to establish
q managing railroad commission,
and we believe with some degree of
qualification, that the Courier Jour
nal has contributed to defeat such
legislation in this state.
But it never entered the head of
any man in Kentucky to make rail
road regulation a party question of
political issue. The idea of gaug-
ing citizens democracy by the
amount of his distrust or dislike Of
railroads, or his inclination to put
legislative obstruction in the way
of their construction, has never,
We feel assured, occurred to any in
habitant of even the remotest Ken
lucky precinct. We have never
had occasion, therefore to protest
against such actions here. But feel
ing, for many reasons, a deep and
friendly interest in the people as
we'll as the Democracy, of Tennes-
con yUa conpot ,rooic4 bic ,oaoet oo,r
est appeal that no such thing be
done there which it's bare sugges-
ton evokes.
The slightest reflection convinces
one that is not properly a party
question, and can scarcely be called
a political question. 1t is not SUBJ
ject to be formulated ip platforms,
used to divide parties or discussed at
the hustings, but matter which
should be dispassionately and ma
turely considered in the Legislature,
as one purely of expediency and not
to be hastily undertaken.
Why handicap the Democracy in
any such away? Why borrow
trouble Dy making DemOcratlc ls-
sue out of a question which can be
settled just as efectually, and in
much better temper, if kept strictly
apart from partisan politics =?
We have little or no fear of the re-
suit of the coming election in Ten
aessee, but it will be exciting, ifnot |
close or doubtful. Yet this is Pre-
year, and it behooves Dem
Dcrats to act with discretion every
where. Our enemies charge us
with indifference or hostility to the
Industrial and business interests OF
.he country, as it is. The accusa-
ion is unjust and utterally without
but we must refute it by
better than a mere deni-
II in words. And it will be suicidal

pA1RYINa IN COLORADO.
Special to the Commercial Gazette.

The fact that Colorado imports,
chiefly from Iowa and Illinois,
three fifths Of her butter, has arrest
ed the attention of her stockmen
and farmers. And no wonder when
the State has million acres as yet
untouched by the plow capable Of
yielding under fair culture of sixty
bushels of corn, forty of oats, and at
least four tons per acre OF clover or
alfalfa. Already several creameries
have been started, one few miles
north of Denver a brighton, with
the patronage of over one thousand
cows, and covering quite large
territory in the Platte Boulder val.
leys.
sThe gathering cream system is
practiced in Platte valley by team,
while that from the mere distant
Boulder valleys will be transported
by rail. The most approved appar-
atus for setting the milk and hauls
ing the cream is adopted. Other
creameries are being established in
Pueblo, San Luis, Alamosa, on the
southern border, besides several in
the valleys south and west OF Den
yer. In all, there will be ten or
twelve creameries established in the
State this season, having, in the
aggregate, the milk of not less than
ten thousand cows
