A Story Of Blaine.
Io,ca CapitdI


A gentleman who was recently in Augusta telI'
good story of Blaine. His letter of acceptance
was being discussed and his companion and guest
expressed some surprise at the remarkable show
ing he had made of figures in support of the tariff
policy of the Republican party, saying that he had
never seen the facts grouped in so forcible man
ner before.
Mr.. Blaine said it reminded him of a little story
"An Irishman who had lately come over went to
his employer and asked him to write letter to
the old folks at home. The employer took his pen
and Pat dictated
"'Wud your honor place tell 'em have mate
wunst day.?
"'Why, Pat, you have meat twice always and
often three times day.
"'Sure, sor,' said Pat, that's thrue, but Tn
tellin' 'em now more thin any one in the hull
county will belave.'"

LOVED AND RESPECTED IN HIS OWN
STATE
Grand Reception rendered Mr. Blaine in
Portland.

The citizens of Portland, Maine, irrespective of
party, rendered Hon. James G.. Blaine recep-
ton on Wednesday night of last week, which was
the grandest affair of the kind ever seen in that
city, showing in what esteem he is held by the
people of his own. State. The full text Of the adj
dress to Mr.. Blaine, signed by more than four
hundred merchants of both parties, is published
hale57- IL sraee kas e. itaaif:
"HoR. James q. Blaine The business men or
Portland, remembering your former sojourn in
this city, and the interest you have always mani.
tested in its growth and prosperity, as we'll as in
that of the State in which their interests in
separately connected, and influenced by that pride
in your natural to every citizenof Maine
desire to express to you their great qualification
in the just recognition of your character and SER
vices accorded to you in your nomination for
President by the political organization of which
you have SO long been an able and honored
leader.
personal acquaintance with you, and although we
have not all been able to agree with you upon
political questions, we have all had confidence in
your integrity as a man and your purity and
ability as a statesman and we are united in the
conviction that should the people of the United
States ratiy the choice of your political associates,
you will give the country an administration un-
sures for the promotion of all material inter-
ests, and for its panstaking care for the purifca
tion and perfection of all departments of the pub
lis service.
at is a matter of which you and your friends
may we'll be proud, that your nomination was a
tribute to yourself and was not made upon grounds
of locality to secure the influence of your State at
the polls, or her comparatively Insignificant power
in the electoral college; yet as citizens of Maine
we are nevertheless, proud OF the honor which has
accrued to our State through the popular recog
milton to your private worth and your capacity
for National usefulness; we believe that every
considerate citizen of Maine, without regard to
party, honors and respects you therefor.
ave do not forget that through all the years
that you have enjoyed National influence ac-
corded to bnt few, you have never been other
than one of the people, and have always been
mindful of the rights of the humblest individual
in the land. Though your success in the coming
election may widen your opportunities for useful
service, it will add nothing to the unlimited con-
idence and esteem sustained for you by US in COM
mon with the great mass of your fellow-ctizens
of Maine"

WHY IRIsH-AMERICANs SUPPORT
BLAINE.
Irish World (Dem.|

lr7sh w ora \DeW.J
The Independent Republicans in supporting
Cleveland have clearly defined object in view
They recognize in him a man of their own way of
thinking, who, if elected, will be ready to carry
out their free trade programme. Now, free-trade
is in the interest of England, and for that reason
the Independent Republicans, who are pro English
to a man, favor it. In supporting Cleveland they
are, therefore, actuated by the wish OF assisting
England.
,ivun organs, "What do his Irish American sup
porters expect of Mr.. Blaine" We answer, abso-
lutely nothing except what is for the best interest
of the United States. Irish Americans do not ex-
pect and they do not ask that Mr.. Blaine, if elect
ed will in any way intermedde in Ireands affairs.
All they demand is that in our foreign relations
he will carry out his own views of the rights of
American citizenship as embodied in the follow
ing extract from his letter of acceptance: "Citi
zenship of the Republic must be the panoply and
the safeguard of him who wears it. The Ameri-
can citizen, rich or poor, native or naturazed,
white or colored, must everywhere walk secure in
his personal and civil rights. The Republic
should never accept lesser duty, it can never
assume nobler one, than the protection of the
humblest man who owes it loyalty-protection at
home and protection which shall follow him abroad
into whatever land he may go upon lawful
Grand" This is an American policy that, of
course, does not meet with the approval of the
Independent Republicans, who believe that Eng
land ought to be permitted to spit her contempt
on American citizenship whenever she finds it con-
venient to do so.
Because thousands of Irish-Americans are sig
nifyng their intention of voting for the man who
proposes carrying out this policy, Independent
Republican organs, like the New York Herald,
are charging them with thinking more of Ireland
than of the United States. Just as if upholding
the dignity of American citizenship we're not a
question affecting the interests Of the United States.
The Irish Americans who, refusing to support the
Independent Republican candidate, will vote for
Mr.. Blaine, will do so because they believe in an
American policy and do mt snsse f-ss erua~
forced on the United States and American citizen
ship despised in every country in Europe.

E~Mr. Cleveland was nominated not because
the Democrats wanted him, but because the bolt
ing Republicans wanted him, and their promise
outweighed the certainty that his nomination
would disrupt the Democracy. That disruption
has come, and now the only question is whether
the votes of the Republican recruits will equal
those of the Democratic bolters.-Ne,o York Sun.
Though the Sun regards the disruption of the
Democratic party as a calamity, it will surely take
more healthy and correct view of the matter in
time. The Democratic party has been the National
nuisance, and its disruption will render possible
an honest organization on the basis of sincere be-
