ssThe Cincinnati Enquirer, one of the
NEST influential Democratic papers in
the country. rises IN the following aEti-
Gle above the bigotry OF partizanship,
and thus fofmulates Its conclusions
souchipg the hominasios OF Jattes q.
BlsiDe:
The NatioDai Republican cohYention
selected Hon. James 6. Blame, of Maine;
Is the candidate Of the party for the
pTssidsncy of the United Staies. In
dominating him tie Convention has
nine-tenths of the Republican voters OF
the country The nomination was there
fore q popular one 20 make. By this
nomination the PhATisees and hypo-
critics of the party are routed ami Gov
cred with confusion. They made bit
ter and lnrslentlng fight against him,
bat their black nag had 20 come doRa.
The idol of the Republican masses has
achieved d most decisive victory. The
politicians, tricksters, E1anipulatOfs and
professional schemeTs for power and
place have been overthrow D; and the
On an Of the people chosen.
James g. Blaitie was not born with 6
silver spoon in his mouth. As boy be
was compelled TO battle with poverty
and in the hand-to-hand struggle with
life had to push aside the arrogance
which wealth invariably begets and
wears. AS young man he was com.
pelled 10 bk the tutor instead Of the
spoiled and pampered pupil. When be
| dared TO enter POLITICAL life be was mel
| by that Tascality which wealth is tot
often the parent of. But Mr.. Blaine
always maintained a sleadfast course
and to-day he is the most con
spIctOus figure and the strongest man II
his party. 1t must be conceded that hS
is :he most capable man and the mos
thorough master Of politics that can b
found within the Republican hosts to
day. Blaine is a statesman, while toe
many of his contemporaries are merely
politicians. Always u defender o.
American interests, he will awaken al
enthusiasm that no other man in tn:
party POSSIBLY could.
The means by which certain Of hi
own party sought 70 compass his defea
were of the vilesL and most viciOu!
character. and naturally have falleI
harmlesslY upon him. To the unpar
alleled lying of few of the daily news
papers and the low caricatures Of the II
Illustrated presp, Mr.. Blaine should fee
much indebted. The mAgnanImity, thu
manlIDess and the spirit of fair play
which predominant in the American
character asserted themselves by award
ing the victory TO Blaine in answer 4
the vile attacks which were made upOI
/ him.
The nomination of Blame may b'
understood as an endorsement of TIT
short and sad administration OF Garfield
In northern Ohio especially is th'
nomination of Blaine regarded as al
Endorsement of their friend and neigh
Dor, who fell by the asssssin's bullet
In choosing Mr.. Blaine the convention
recognized the importance of the vote
of Ohio at the October election.
1t remains TO be seen whit Their thu
Democrats when they meet In convention
next month will accede to the wishes b
the people, as the Republicans have
done. Will they put aside the trickstG RS
and choose man who Is of the people
and for the people, The nomination o
Blaine and Logan makes 10 absolutely
necessary that they shall do this, or g
/ down in their defeat
