BY nominating James G.. Blaine for presi-
dent, the republican convention blazos out
the path to democratic success in November,
The nomination is disgrace to the party,
was, however, unreasonable to expect wise
and patriotic action from convention which
was controlled by otlicoholders aud peddling
politicians hungry for places. The respect-
able oioment, represented by tho vote for
Edmunds, Hawley, aud Lincoln had no
power. The democrats have golden oppor-
tunity. With an irreDroachable candidate
aud strong platform, expressing the honest
convictions and fixed intentions of tho party,
the national democratic party eau look for
ward with confidence to a decisive victory.

THE entire state Of Maine, apparently,
rose up to welcome home tho returning dele
gates to the Chicago convention and their
guests, the California delegates. Immense
crowds gathered at oil the stations to cheer
tho train as it passed, and wherever stops
were made bands of music were in waiting,
and speeches wero loudly demanded, Specol
CATS were attached at various stations until,
when the train reached Augusta, it numbered
twenty-thrOe coaches. A procession received
tho delegations at the depot, aud in the
uyenins banquet was rendered them.

PRAISE FROM A FOE.
Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.)

The nomination of Blaine yesterday may
be understood as an Endorsement of the short
and sad administration Of Garfield. Northern
Ohio, tho home of the murdered president,
as we write, is greeting tho rising sun by the
booming Of the cannon and general re-
ioicing In that locality, especially, Is tho
nomination of Blaine regarded as ON indorse-
ment of the administration of their friend
and neighbor, who fell by the assassin's bull
let. In choosing hr. Blaine the convention
recognized the Importance of the vote of
Ohio at the October election.
1t remains to be seen whether the demo-
Gratis, when they meet in convention next
month, will acoede to tho wishes of the peo-
pie, as tho republicans have done. VIII they
put aside tho tricksters, and chose man
who is of tho people and for the people
The nomination of Blaine and Logan yester-
day makes 1T absolutely necessary that they
shall do this, or 20 down in utter defeat.

SUCCESS CERTAIN.

In thus honoring Blaine tho convention
has dono an act which will meet the hearty
approval of the great body of republicans al
over the country. 1t has made success certain
beyond the possibility of doubt and will
iniuse a vigor and spirit into the campaign
which will be irresistible. He is tho most
popular leader in the country to-day, and
will arouse greater enthusiasm, inspire a
higher degree of confidence, and command a
larger support in those statos which must be
depended on for republican electors than any
other man who could have been, named.

DEAD SCANDALS.
phldds,nbin CdjLfTud 4


Certain republican journals threaten to
oppose him and to parade old scandals to his
detriment. These will amount to nothing.
They were incidents, largely discovered and
misrepresented, of the vigorous struggles of
bold and energetic man, in the course of
his political life. Nothing has been proven
that will be of special influence. And the
revival of these dismissed scandals will 90
far toward helping him, as it will bear tho
appearance Of persecution. The New York
Sun tried the same policy toward Garfield.
All the power of the opposition conferred on
this. Yet he was elected. Mr., Blaine has
lived amid the vivid light of our political
life, and has exerted powerful influence in
shaping our national policy. He is known
to be equal in liability to any position in the
government. The slight criticism that can
be mado on his past career will not weigh q
feather in the popular esteem. His canvass
will not bo defensive, nor will these alleged
scandals harm him.

ACCEPTING HIS LEADERSHIP.
IndidpdpDlis ,IOuynlL


While ho was not the first choice of the
Journal, 1t accepts his leadership without
hesitation and without fear of results. As
we have so often said, the party is greater
than any man, and tho voiced wisdom of its
convention better than individual judgment.
There can be no bitterness over tho result in
any quarter. Tho republican party Is not
made up Of children, but of strong, stalwart,
sensible men, and the verdict Of the national
convention will bo accepted with true, loyal
devotion to the party, whose success Is greatly
any individual, and in the spirit of full belief
that the continuance Of the republican party
in power is absolutely and unquestionably in
dispensablo to the prosperity Of the country,
aud to tho maintenance and permanency OF
those principles and methods Of government
by which alone the peace and good order ol
society may be conserved and individual
liberty and happiness most largely secured
and enhanced,

Nelp York Critic (DeDll

Tho democratic party must fight hard to
beat Mr.. Blaine. Whatever his record and
whatever the rivalries that exist in the re.
publican ranks, he is the favorito Of his party,
he is man whom the majority love and ad-
miro, he is manly man, and the magic Of
his name will for the time boing unite tho
republicans 10 that the party will vote almost
as one man. The democracy must turn their
guns not so much upon Mr. Blaine as upon
the party whose chief representative he is

THOROUGHLY AMERICAN IN SPIRIT.
Stetl5enUipe (Ohio) Gazette (Dtm.)


There is much to admire in tho character
of James G. Blaine, no matter what may be
said of dark events in his life which will
presently bo discovered and industriously
circulated by the hand of political dctraction
which so frequently in exciting campaigns
blazons to the world much that might as we'll
be left unsaid, and which so frequently ac-
complshes moro harm than good to the party
responsible therefor. Heis bold and dashing,
thoroughly American in spirit inpatient of
the bonds which necessarily hold all public
men within certain restrictions, candid and
free, or at least apparently so, in his inter-
course with high and low, strong friend
devoted in his attachments, and the possessor
of unlimited faith in himself, although not
exhibited in an obtrusivo manner. In one
sense we are glad tho nomination went to the
man 80 universally recognized as the popular
chief of the republican party; we would
rather see James G. Blaine president than
any other man his party could name.

Mr.. Blaine is just the man the people
demand az this time, and nothing can pre-
vent his election. The politicians have tried
their best TO bury him cut of sight but he
is one of tho kind of men that no amount oil

From Key West.
KEY WEST, Fla. April 2-Reiable reports saw
that the schooner Shooters left here last night with
Gen. Aguero and twenty men well armed, for Cuba.
The revenue cutter Dix left Key West this morning
in pursuit. The Spanish ConsuA is on board the
Dix. There is great excitement at Key West.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Information originating
with the Spanish Consul at Key West, was received
by Secretary Folger Saturday evening" to the effect
that Cuban revolutionary expedition was being
organized at Key West, by Aguero, ana that he had
collected 900 we'll armed men and store of explo-
sves and that the expedition might be expected to
depart from our shores at early day. Orders
were thereupon telegrsphed to the commanders OF
revenue cutters Governor Dix supposed to be at
Key West, and &c rye S. Boutwell,, at Savannah, to
take steps Immediately to prevent any such viola
ton of law. The Dix, however. had left Key West
Saturday, for Cedar Keys, BOO miles distant, and
message to her commander reached him only on
Monday, when he arrived at Cedar Keys. The Xix

been heard from her at the department, but no

the removal of the dread which has rested SO

be described The citizens are unanimous in want
ing no more mobs, and yet they are not convinced
that the original purpose of the mob was not
righteous one. The failure to accomplish the
original purpose on Friday night practically ended
the exertions of the men engaged in the attack on
the jail, and the subsequent dsgraeeful proceedings
the observance of law and order. Policemen and
even milti4men are looked upon with comfort as
conservators of the law and though the purpose of
the original mob faiet, there is feeling that it's
influence will be felt. The Judges are arranging to
make more speedy work in the trial of criminals
