At Republican primaries held in New Hav-
en-, Ct, last week preparatory to the coming
city election, Independents claiming them
selves to be Republicans, but admitting that
they voted for Cleveland, were denied the
privilege of participating in any way in the
caucuses. The vote was unanimous for eXpul
sion. No man who voted against Blaine could
secure recognition.
The rival Democratic organizations at the
National Capital are quarreling as to which
shall control the ceremonies attending the in
auguralon of Cleveland. The old ante belum
organization called the Democratic Jackson
Association, which the local papers abbreviate
into Dem. Jack. ASS, has been resurrected and
is full of fight.

The Chicago Tribune recently published a
significant article in which it was suggested
that Mr.. Blaine might be elected to the United
States Senate from Penn> ylvania and thus be
placed lin position which he will adorn and
in which he may become more useful to his
country than ever before" 1t appears that no
term of residence in the Stale is required but
only that the Senator be an inhabitant of the
State. This suggestion has been endorsed by a
number of leading newspapers. but we feel
quite sure that Mr.. Blaine would not be willing
to give up his residence in Maine. and we do
not believe lie has any desire to re-enter either
branch Of Congress. We agree. however. with
the Iowa State Register when it says:
1t would be d great benefit TO the Republican
party and the nation. and "a great an honor to
Pennsylvania. to have Blaine thus placed in the
Senate Equally good and perhaps better would
il be for the party and the country, if Mr.
Blaine should appear in the lower House in
lSSl to meet the rebel brgader> and lead the
Republican fight. With him at the front the
rebels would be compelled to show their color>
and 90 on record. Defeat has not killed Blaine.
II ha, strengthened him. II has strengthened
him in himself and with the country The
the earliest day possible. No statesman of any
country has ever made great a speech in
defeat as Mr.. Blaine made at Augusta last
Monday night. In tina; speech he chselled AS
from out of the rock of everlasting truth the
pubic issues next to come in America, and
which must be settled. and settled with honor,
as surely as the Republic i, to endure.
