Speaking of the ISSUE Of the Chicago
convention, Mr.. Roosevelt said. The
platform is All admirable one; is as strong
as the party has had since the old war
days. 1t will gain thousands of votes all
over the country. Scarcely L Republican
or Independent but must indorse it hear

mainder of the delegates. As soon as
they saw that the nomination of their
candidate was impossible, and that
Blaine's nomination was probable, they
tiocked to him in Il body. This is why
no combination against Blaine was pos
sible. Had not been so positively for
Edmunds, | don't know but | would

minutes. Changing engines for the third
time, the run was made to GAINESVILLE, 25
miles in twenty six minutes. The final
- miles from GAINESVILLE to the Ohio
river ut Bellaire were made in 26
minutes. Six miles down the grade to
the river were made in four minutes
which was at the rate of 80 miles an hour.
From Chicago to the Ohio river the rate
of speed was simply dizzy. The dis
lance of 46;i miles was made between the
hours of , 10 T.. u. and 80 A. NJ, eleven
hours and twenty minutes, including IS
stops for water, changing engines, cross

the iG2 miles was nine hours and twenty
minutes, of an average of fully fifty
miles an hour. The run to the Ohio river
has been described as dizzy. Mr.. Pang

the journey. Going down grade to the

Mr.. TnDEN has spoken. He will
not be a Presidential candidate. The
reason simply is, that the Democratic
party has made free trade record in
Congress, and to be consistent before
the country, must make National
platform to suit. Tilden knows he
would be defeated on any such plat
form, and wants no such empty honor
as a nomination by acclamation. 1t
doesn't matter, it only gives Mr.. Blaine
an opportunity to beat 4 living man in
stead of corpse.

Republicans an object of contempt,
and puts himself upon the level of the
man who enters a lodge Of Free Ma
sons and then bctrays the secrets Of
the organization. independence of
thought and opinion arc all very well.
But the Republican party seems to have
been blessed or rather cursed with 4
super abundance Of those admirable
virtues. 1t is all very we'll for a Rcpub-
lican delegate to carry his sovereignty
under his hat, hut if this sovereignty IS
not to be subject to reasonable party
! discipline, the head which wears that
hat is out OF place in any representa-
tive organizations of his party. In the
recent convention at Chicago the cur
rent of popular favor was unmistaEabl
| toward MIR. Blaine, while the weight of
the conservative thought Of the party
was unmistakahly against him. The
combined strength of those who pre-
fcrrcd another nominee constituted a
, majority of the convention, but they
could not fuse. and the strong person.
ality of Mr.. Blaine broke through the
opposition, and dcmoralNinS it, swept
everything before it. 1t is 4 fact which
no one conversant with the proceed
ings OF the Chicago convention will
deny that the combined opponents Of
| Mr.. Blaine had I chance to beat him.
They wasted thcir opportunity, how
ever. and should not now complain.
For if any men arc in duty bound to
support the nominee, those men are
George William Curtis, Andrew y.
White and the prominent independents
| (?) whose impracticable persistcncy in
the convention indirectly nominated
! Mr.. Blaine. They went into that con-
vention the ardent supporters Of Mr..
Edmunds. The hi CHEST strength shown
by their candidate, was Just % votes.
That vote thrown for Mr.. Arthur would
have given him 50 decided Il prcpader-
ance Of votes IS would have probably
resulted in his nomination. But no.
They were willing TO demand terms of
surrender from the Arthur men. but
were willing to conccdc nothing.
They were independents.
They made the prepostcrous dc
maj d that 27S delegates should sur
render to IS, and having shown them
selves to be impracticablcs, and that
they had ii in their power to have pre-
vented the nomination of the man
they profess to dislike, they now turn
kickerS, AID repudiate the selection Of
the convention in which they partici-
pated. If any man should bow defer
entially to the will of the majority Of
the Chicago convention expressed in
the nomination of Mr.. Blaine, that man
is George William Curtis. The mcon-
sistency of his course, will rob Of its
force anything he may say in .! Iarpcr's

ColOred Voters IndOrSiny Blaine.

A mass meeting of colored Republican
voters to indorse the nominations of
Blaine and Logan Tor the Presidency and
Vice Presidency of the United States was
held in Baltimore city on Monday night,
and was very enthusiastic. John NJ.
Langston, United States Minister to
flayti, was the first speaker and told
his hearers that James G.. Blaine is the
man who will push them forward until
they stand on an even plane with their
white fellow citizens. Already they were
equal before the law, and the social in
equality is rapidly disappearing. Pro-
fessor Richard T. Greener, of South Caro-
lima, also spoke and impressed upon his
audience the necessity of united action,
which can result only in victory to the
Republican party. A series of resolu-
tions were passed endorsing the work of
the Chicago Convention. as we'll in its
platform as in its nominations.

bands of music were in waiting and
speeches were loudly demanded. Spe-
