Senators Cameron, Bayard, Hampton Hale,

have done the best work of nominations that

strongest ticket that could possibly be selected
from their ranks. Even barring the wonder
full magnetism of Mr.. Blaine, and the many

placed is so sound that it is doubtful if Demo

Col Goldman, and of all others who entertain
like belief with him. If the Republican party
hs attempted to prove any one thing during
ne past quarter of century, despite armed
Democratic opposition, it is that this nation of
ours is a nation. That is what the Republican
party fought for, and in the same unalterable
belief it enters upon the campaign of 1884. 1t
is not so very strange that Col Goldman cannot

Contrasting Candidates and Parties.

Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll.
The situation seems to be this; There is now
a contest between Blaine and the men whose
candidates were not nominated at Chicago But
Blaine is not running against the men who were
not nominated. By and by the Democratic con-
vention will nominate man who will be run
ming against Blaine. The men whose candidates
were not nominated will begin to contrast these
two candidates, and from contrasting the men
they will finally get to contrasting the parties,
and then Blaine will get them all.

The Rank and File Versus The Leaders.

Emery A. Storr's Speech.
The rank and file dictate the platform and the
candidates to its conventions. Gentlemen, how
splenddly has that been illustrated in our polit-
ical history. In 1872 scores and scores of leaders
went acknowledgements, senators, congress
men-the woods were full of them. Governor
Palmer, Lyman Trumbull, Senator Doolittle,
George w. Julian, all overheard and how the
splendid old ship righted itself up after it had
been relieved of that cargo And now look along
the shore. Mr.. Chairman, and you will see it
dotted with the whitened and bleached skeletons
of the leaders who went overheard and were
washed ashore in 1872

"Two extraordinary types OF men were
chosen at the Chicago convention. They
blend, in still more remarkable degree and
type, the very essence of unconquerable and
not over-scrupulous Americanism. Here is
found most important element of political
strength before the people. A wonderful
American faith and pride exist in and for the
wonderful American. In witness, in strategy,
in endurance, in consistency of persistency, in
physical vigor, in enormous mental energy,
in all gifts and qualities-save some which
the Current does wish and could name
James G. Blaine and John A. Logan are sur
passing men. Blended as an entity of leader
ship, it is not easy to discover negative quail
ties. They are regal in positivism. They
represent the arrogant opulence of all the
opulent arrogance of victories innumerable
by arms and ballot and measures in nation
without peer"
We suppose the person who penned the
above in the Chicago Current rested from
his labor with the belief that it was fine
writing 1t is not, my son; it is pure and
unadulterated hog-wash just such stuff as
will be poured out by the barrel on every
commencement" stage from the inner con
seriousness of veally young men, and which
will be smiled at by the audience and by the
venerable professors. The Current is old
enough by this time to have got over the
most ordinary chicken-pox stage of amateur
publications.

was not learned enough to merit it, but because
of Tewksbury. 1t was supposed that the slight
and rebuke would be emphasized this year by

upon him, and get out of the difficulty by saying
that it will only be given hereafter in recog-
milton of superlative legal attachments.
