Everyone viii recognize the scholarly style
of the following paragraph from Harper's
Weekly. February. 1884, In it Mr.. George
william Curtis happily expresses the conf
dence Of the American people in Mr.. Blaine's
splendid abilities and almost universal regret
with which his retirement from the State De
partment was hailed:
The letter ION the Panama CANAL is .
temperate and diguiied document. stating
our position with blended spirit and courtesy
and decision. 1t Is capitally adapted to meet
anv such proposition as joint European
protectorate, had il been advanced. But
whether the project vas merelv tentative
rumor or design seriously entertained, the
letter has suficed TO arrest il, and it Is an
other illustration of the skill and ability with
which Mr.. Blaine has managed the depart
ment confded to him. He has what may be
called the American instinct, an essential
quality in our foreign secretary, vet restrain
ed in his official expression by an equally
American tact and good sense.
Mr.. Curtis now opposes the policy which
Mr.. Blaine represents. and yet we have had
no new exemplicatioa of that policy since
Blaine retired from public life. Most of Mr..
Blaine's opponents are equally inconsistent.

Making Haste.

There have been two meetings of the
most prominent independents since the
Chicago convention adjourned. They have
discussed the situation in which they find
themselves. and apparently resolved to
bolt the nomination of Blaine and Logan
and go over to the opposition. They have
done this before the democrats have nom-
mated their ticket or adopted a platform.
They have closed their eyes to the bon
fires blazing on the hills all over the
country. and their eyes to the ringing of
bells and the thunders of rejoicing multi
tudes. in honor of the nomination of
Blaine aud Logan. aud in their con-
claves have decided TO 60 at once and
commit political suicide.
These gentlemen are extremely unwise
and unfortunate in allowing their dissp-
polntment because they could not get the
men of their choice nominated at Chicago
to hurry them into the insane attitude
which they have assumed. They had bet
ter not be in hurry. In this excessively
warm weather they should endeavor to
keep as cool as possible. Perhaps clos
er survey Of the field and more candid
and thorough consideration of the facts
relating to the nomination of the

republican candidates and their char
aeters may change their opinions and
resolves. Suppose Cleveland should Be
laid upon the shelf in the democratic con-
venticn, notwithstanding the attempt be-
|! ing made by independent emissaries To
force his nomination over the trusted and
tried leaders of that party. our indepen-
dent friends would be placed in an un-
pleasant predicament. and all their coddling
of Cleveland would be in vain Or sup
pose Cleveland should secure the nomina-
ton. with his veto of reform measures in
particular and failure generally
to live up to the reform plat
form on which he was nomI-
mated for Governor adhering to him and
repelling independents. and this with the
inevitable underlying idea that he must be
acceptable to that southern sentiment
which defrauds the ballot box at every
election and holds as in the Mississippi
courts that murder is no crime when
committed in support of the democratic
party; is there nothing in this to cause in
dependent republicans to pause and con-
slider before they take the fatal STEP
II would also seem to be entirely prop
er for men who call themselves republic
cans, and who in the national convention
made no protest against the nomination OF
Blaine, to see his letter of acceptance be-
fore they march over into the camp OF the
enemy. 1t will certainly be an interest
ing document coming from man of MIR.
Blaine's ability and experience in politi-
cal lite, and possibly there be some in
haste to oppose him who may feel differ
emily after they have considered what he
has to say in connection with the nomina-
ton.
Finally let our hasty independents weigh
carefully the great fact that Mr.. Blaine is
supported by the greatest array of volun-
tary strength, the wise and the good. peo-
pie of all classes and conditions. that any
candidate for the Presidency ever had
and then ask themselves whether the few
independents have not good reason to
yield their personal opinions, to distrust
their judgment, in the presence of the
mighty expression of the people OF this
country in favor of James G.. Blaine.

To the Editor Keanebee Journal:
There are published in the city Of New
York two religious papers, that were orIgi-
mated, fostered, and are now sustained, al
m 1st entirely by republicans. Their circuls-
ton is largely in the New England States and
the West. They have repudiated our plat
form, and openly reject our mobile chieftain'
and like some other New York papers. have
begun to throw mud. What is the plain duty
of those who have hitherto supported these
journals if they go over to the enemy? Let
them be treated as deserters. Let US give our
support to those journals who stand by the
''good old republican flag" And our efforts
to limit their circulation to the State of New
York, by Withholding our individual support.
Can we consistently do otherwise?
