THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.
Journals Well Pleased.
MIR. BLAINE THE CANDIDATE OF THE
WHOLE PARTY.
From TAe Albany EueniRg Journal
The historian of Twenty Years
of Congress will not be moved by
a spirit of petty animosity. He has
no debts to pay, no vengeance to
wreak. During all the conflicts
from caucus to convention, he has
stood calmly aloof In the conven-
ton itself, efforts for combination
were against and not for him. His
was fOreshadowed bv
gradual accretion of votes on three
ballots. The inevitable was then
recognized, and could no longer be
stayed. The irresistible attraction
of votes to his column was like the
obedience which the lesser bodies
OF the solar system pay to the in
flexible power of their great central
luminary. He enters upon the race,
absolutely clear of entang-
ling alliances-the candidate of the
whole party. What power Of in
spiration lies in this circumstance
BUSINESS INTERESTS SAFE.
From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Blaine's nomination will draw out
all of force and fire there is in the
Republican party. 1t has been
charged that he must assume the
on account of past mis-
takes, but while he has, like most
other public men, some of these to
his account, it will be well to bear
in mind that those who haye at
tackled Mr.. Blaine have generally
caught Tartar. There is positive
ly nothing in the intimation that
the business interests ofthe country
fear him. On the contrary, IN so
far as he is more progressive than
his cotemporaries, the business in
terests will fairly expect that under
his administration the development
of the great natural resources of the
must go on with quickened
energy.
THE TYPICAL AMERICAN CANDIDATE.
From the Cleveland Herald.
No man who actually received
the Presidential nomination since
the existence of the United States
had, as a candidate, so strong a hold
on the affections of the masses of his
party as has James G.. Blaine at the
present moment. Strong in his
convictions, courageous in main
tanning them, daring in attack and
brilliant in strategy, he has won the
devotion of his followers, and the
of his enemies. His his
tory as public man is that of the
Republican party, the one cannot be
from the other. He is
the typical Republican. His histo-
ry for the same period is largely
that of the Nation he is the typical
American.
A RESPONSE TO THE PARTY'S DEMAND.
rom The Hartford Post.
The action of the Republican Ma
tional Convention we believe to be
in response to the demand of the
party for an opportuni-
ty to vste for james G. Blaine for
President. 1t has been evident for
some months past that the great
mass of the Republican voters of the
country were in favor of his nomin-
alton, regarding his past services for
the public good of such value That
he should again be called to the
front, and this time to a position OF
highest honor.
SUPPORT DUE FROM EVERY REPUB-
LICAN.
From the Boston Journal.
1t is sufficient FOR us, as members
of the Republican party, to know
that Mr.. Blaine is to lead the Re-
publican party in the coming cam
paign. He is to stand upon a plat
form which was adopted by the Re-
publican delegates, and to give him,
therefore, as the accepted leader cor
dial support, is a duty which every
Republican owes to his 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 do
not underrate the disadvantages in-
cident to campaign under his lead
ership, but we must not lose sight
of the assurance given at Chicago
that ne possesses a following greater
than that OF any other man in the
party. He is the choice of the Re
publican ConventioD-honestly and
fairly nominated-and as such will
receive the cordial support of the
men who have voted for Lincoln,
Grant, Hayes and Garfield
HEARTILY AND CORDIALLY ACCEPTED
Nrom the Providence Journal.
OF the hearty and cordial accept
ance of the nomination by the great
majority Of the Republican party,
we make no doubt. The name oi
Blaine will arouse a great enthusi-
asm, and the selection of Logan will
strengthen the support OF those who
proved their devotion to Republican
principles in war as in peace. There
is vet, as the country evidently per-
ceives. much to be done before the
Nation can safely intrust its interests
in other hands than those of the Re-
publicans. The questions still at Is
sue are of the highest importance
they must be contested with persist
ency and with vigor. The people,
as to the most vital of them, are in
accord with the Republican party,
and therefore it is that its success
in November is in ali reason as
sured.
FOLLOWING THE WILL OF THE PARTY.
From The Troy Times.
1t is always mistaken policy to
commit a wrong, and in that light
The Times must ever regard the con-
duct of the convention at Chicago
Yesterday. But a conclusion reach
ed by the collective wisdom and
ssgacity of the party must be accept
ed as properly outweighing the judg-
ment of individuals, or even Of a
