What Boss Kelly Should See,

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Mr.. John Kelly should be able to
see that, if what the democratic con-
vention does or fails to do at Chicago
is only what he dictates or permits to
be done, it might as well go out OF
business at the presidential election OF
1884. The republican independents
and reformers and discontents and
malcontents of all sorts who stand
away from Mr.. Blaine would be but
squads compared with the regiments
and brigadeS of democrats who would
revolt against such a lead. The dem
ocratic party should see this, even il
Mr.. Kelly don't.

The PeODle's Choice.

The demonstrations of approval which
have followed the nomination of Mr..
Blaine sustain the claim that was made by
his supporters at Chicago, that before any
other man in the country he is the choice
of the people for President. In the choos-
ing of delegates to the national conven-
ton some measure of his popularity was
felt and recognized. as convention after
convention, uninhuenced by anything but
the strong conviction that he was the best
man to elect, declared for him. That,
however. was feeble exhibition of his
hold upon the popular heart COMPARED
with the demonstrations of qualification
which have been manifested since his
nomination. These have been without
precedent in our political history. They
have swept over the whole country. from
Maine to California. from Iowa and Wis
consin to Mississippi and Louisiana. The
columns of our exchanges TEEN with
notices OF meetings, of ringing of bells
and burning of gunpowder to celebrate
the result of the Chicago convention, while
the beaming faces and hearty congratula-
tons met in the by-ways and highways OF
every day life attest the sincerity and
depth of the Joy at the nomination of Mr..
Blaine.
From the moment the nomination was
made. on Friday. congratulations began
to pour in upon him by telegraph. and
continue TO come in a vast stream by tele-
graph and mail. the last two days arrival
being immense. 1t is quite remarkable
that no other State has equaled Massachu-
sets in the number af congratulations sent
to Mr.. Blaine, and among these a very
large share from the most eminent and
distinguished men in the Commonwealth.
Assuredly, Massachusetts will be no lag
gard in the campaign this year for Blaine
and Logan. So from all New England the
response to the nominations is on the most
generous scale, while the vast country
beyond. towards the setting sun, pours in
its contribution of jutilant telegrams and
letters in its own abounding and large
hearted manner.
A few discordant notes are heard in the
grand chorus of jubilation, as must inevi-
tably be the case. But they are 50 very
few that they will excite very little atten-
ton. 1t must needs be that in matter in
which millions of people are concerned,
some will be dissatisfied. but we trust
that when these witness the remark.
able unanimity with which the ticket nom-
mated at Chicago is received by the re-
publicans. even by the opposing candi'
dates and their friends in the convention,
they will conclude to waive their individ-
ual opposition in Difference to public sen
timent, and fall in in support OF Blaine
Logan.

The Nomination.



II is sufficient for Us, as members Of the
republican party. to know that Mr.. Blaine is
TO lead the party in the coming campaign.
He is TO stand upon a platform which was
adopted by the republican delegates. and to
give him. therefore, as the accepted leader,
cordial support, is duty which every repub-
hcan owes to the party. OF the election of
Mr.. Blaine there is very little question. The
campaign thus far has shown his wonderful
strength with the people, We confess that
the spontaneous movement for Mr.. Blaine at
the West is something unprecedented. No
effort on his part vas made TO secure dele
gates. They focked to his banner as soon
as it was raised at Chicago. And his support
ers are not political adventures or the
noisy element which is found in every party.
They represent the best type OF Americans
and the strongest republicanism. In this
State there is feeling of opposition to Mr..
Blaine, which makes it more difficult for
many republicans to admit that his support
ers are among the ablest and most conscien-
| tious men in their respective communities.
| This we shall come to understand and ap-
preciate as the contest proceeds. We do
| not underrate the advantages incident to
a campaign under his leadership. but we
| must not lose sight of the assurance given at
| Chicago that he possesses following great
er than that Of any other man in the party.
| He is the choice of the republican conven-
tion-honestiy and fairly nominated. and as
snch will receive the cordial support of the
men who have voted for Lincoln, Grant,
Hayes and Garfield.
The nomination of Senator Logan to the
Vice Presidency was An easily foreseen re-
suit, after the transfer of the Logan strength
to Mr.. Blaine in the fourth ballot led the way
to the nomination of the latter to the first
place. Mr.. Logan was an open candidate
for the presidential nomination, but his
chance for that being hopeless, the second
place had its natural attractions for him.
His selection gives the proper geographical
balance to the ticket and will appeal strongly
I to the Western men, who have in Senator
Logan man of their own type, and to war
veterans. who know him as a stanch friend of
the soldiers, Senator Logan's war record
was brilliant and successful, and he has car
ried into polite. something of the dash and
intrepidity which distinguished him in the
field. People who believe in auguries and
condolences may perhaps deem it an omen OF
success that the Republican candidates who
in 1860 won the first great victory for the
party were drawn from the same States which
now furnish them, but in reverse order.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1884-06-09
From the Bangor Whig. !

The nomination of Hon. James G. Blaine
was one of the grandest and most remarkable
victories in the history OF this country 1t is
emphatically a victory of the people over the
organized forces of the politicians. Twice
before have the people of this country de-
manded the nomination of Blaine, and twice
have their wishes been disregarded. The
time, however, since the name of this leader
of leaders was first placed in the field BY his
ardent supporters, contrary to his own wishes,
he having repeatedly declined to raise his
voice or pen in any movement that had fol
its object his nomination as president, the
enthusiasm among the people has gained in
strength and volume until it knew no bounds
and the same irresistible force that has borne
him on to this triumphant nomination in the
face of most determined opposition will
sweep the country from Maine to California
next November, and place him in the White
House by an overwhelming majority. With
Blaine at the head of the ticket, there is nc
such word as defeat in the vocabulary of the
republican party. In fact. it is the wisest and
strongest nomination that could possibly have
been made.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1884-06-09
From the Portland Press.

The republican masses of the North have
finally triumphed. and have put in nomina'
ton for the highest Office in the gift of the
people James G. Blaine. Their victory has
been won without the aid of party machinery
without the use of place or patronage. Never
was a movement more spontaneous, more
free from the suspicion of having been care
fully worked up, than this movement for Mr..
Blaine That was demonstrated to every.
BODY who was not wilfully blind, weeks ago,
when the people rallied to the primaries in
his behalf. 1t was demonstrated again by
the enthusiasm and devotion of the delega-
tions to his cause. 1t was demonstrated still
more strikingly by the manifestations of joy
when the telegraph ticked out the news of
his nomination. Mr.. Blaine is to-day the
candidate of the republicans for the Presi-
dency mot because of the skilful use of politi-
cal machinery in his behalf, but in spite of
the skilful use Of it against him. He is the
candidate, not because he has sought the
nomination, but because the nomination has
sought him. He is the candidate because the
republicans of the North have demanded him
with voice so clear and earnest that it could
not be misunderstood or anheeded.
