Blaine should be the candidate of the re-

its eyes open. 1t has taken this step not
in the dark, but in the broad day light.
There will be nothing ambiguous about
the defeat of MIR, Blaine. He who runs
may clearly read the verdict in advance:
"A candidate unworthy of confidence, and
a party too careless of its own honor to

New York Star (Tammany organ):
Blaine's nomination was brought about
by coalition of the worst elements of the
republicans. In looking ahead, however,
the Star is not rash enough to affirm that
even Blaine will necessarily be defeated
by any body put up in November against
him. He will command, practically, un-
limited resources, for the m%onopolists
and jobbers who anticipate favors from
him will contribute lavishly to his cam
vass. Finally he will be fervently sup
ported by those workers of his party who
will not stop to reflect whether a smart

New York Tribune (rep): James G.
Blaine has been nominated by the people

quarter of a century no other candidate
has been more clearly preferred by the
voters. Mr. Blaine is the strongest can

nominated, because he best represents it.

Logan for vice president was also es
