Some Of the Republicans who ars
booming Blaine for president seem tc
think that II Is only their Democratic
opponents who regard him as an un
worthy nominee and unfit man for this
high Office. III they will take the trouble
to inquire they will discover that he Is
held in disrepute by almost the entire
better element of their own party and
by the independent sentiment Of the
country.
The New York Herald, than which
no journal Is more wayward In its inde-
pendence or more affected by the winds
and tides of popular opinion, says he is
the weakest candidate his party could
have the Republican leaders have
load enough to carry in the coming
campaign without adding Blaine Of
Maine to 1t. They are carrying Dorsey,
Brady, Kellogg, Robeson and Keifsr.
They would be gluttons II they added
Blaine"
Henry Ward Beecher referred to him
when he spoke recently Of "a candidate
for the presidency stained by jobbery, in
alliance with the policies of the great
railway princes, hand and glove with
corrupt lobbes, and In full faith with
the corrupt and corrupting gangs who
swarm our Legislatures and live by sleek
plunder."
The New York Times, the ablest,
most influential and most honest repre-
sentative OF its party in the country,
describes him Enthusiastically when it
talks OF possible nominee with whose
name there are are connected scandals,
"which he has not dissipated as we
should like to see them dlssipated. lie
has held important trusts he has
amassed good deal Of wealth there
are acts of his which it requires much
obtuseness to believe to have been honest
acts and good deal of charity to over
look. His own explanations of them are
insufficient and disingenuous. He is un
questionably ambitious, and his ideas OF
the destiny of the American Union on
this continent are full of peril. Very
probably he would, as president, be either
mischievous or ridiculous, and might be
both. No one knows what he believes in
finance, Except his profound belief in the
money value of speakers decisions,
aud as to the revenue, "he is the autho
of the maddest scheme that shallow
demagogue ever invented a schem
which had only to be- announced to in
stantly silence his most ardent admin
ers,' and "he is surrounded by one {
the most desperate gangs of adventure
this country has seen since the days

Her second Appearance Ia "IIsiro and the
Forge VI nat -


Forge ha aster"
Ihe second appearance OF Miss Maud
Granger ia this city last evening in her
new play, "Claire aud the Forge Master, "
was the occasion Of orOwding the opera
house with an appreciative audience. -Four
weeks ago tho play was presented hero TO
u small audience, but the impression pro-
dnced was such that IL was certain that a
packed house would greet it on its return
Therefore 1t was that notwithstanding the
threatening condition of the weather and
the muddy streets aud pavements Fulton
opera house was filled with a cultured and
enthusiastic auditory last evening.
y sketch OF the play appeared in these
columns on its first presentation here, and
the merits OF the fair tragedienne received
much cOmmendatiOn. Miss Granger 3
acting last evening, as was evident from
the frequent Outbursts of applause in the
audience, very materially deepeued the
good impression that she had already
created. The play is singularly adapted
To bring out all her latent forces as an
actress, aud from the second act where the
stormy interview with her husband takes
place, she riyets the attention of the audi
ence TO her every act to the close. The
dressing OF the ladies who appear in the
drama was very fine and Miss Granger
diamonds were superb. A few minor
changes have been made in the cast which
can hardly be considered improvements
Handsome George Learock as HHippt
DsT5!dy jumped at one bound into the
good graces OF the audience, and the other
old fayOrites received their due need OF
appreciation.

Der and Grau alleges that ho worked for
him nine days he charged him S3l -,
but GingTich would only pay so
Grau took tho latter amount on account
and brought suit 70 recover the balance.
Grau states that he made Gingrich's bill
smaller than tho others because ho know
that the office was not worth as much,
and he is the Ouly ono who refuses TO pay.
This morning a LCav!ng was had Ill the
case before Alderman FOrdney, who gave
judgment in favor OF Grau for S2l4j, the
