ADRIAN, Mimi, Aug. II, 1ss4.-The
frantic efforts of the Republicans to convince
the foreign element that Blaine is the only
man who can ''save the country from utter
destruction is laughable in the extreme.
They say they ''point with pride' to the
record of Mr. Blaine. What is Mr.. Blaine's
record! Can any person ''point with pride"
to single measure that Mr. Blaine has
cham pioned which has been of any benefit
to the peoplel If so, it would take mag
nifying glass of large dimensions to discover
any work of his prowess. His record both in
and out of congress has been that of rant
ing, canting, hvpocritical demagogue. He
has put money in his purse at the expense
of the people. No one can read the Mulligan
letters without pronouncing him a man
utterly unfit to preside over the destinies of
the people. He has been engaged in various
Jobs which have always resulted in enriching
himself Contrast the public record of Blaine
man can or will give the Republican ticket
his suffrage. I
But the most amusing argument brought
to bear in favor of Blaine is that he is the
friend of the foreigner, that he would load up
his cannon and fight for the oppressed of
every nation" Let US see: Blaine pub
lished paper at Augusta, Maine, in 1853.
His paper advocated "Know- nothingism, y
and ne was one of the most violent members
of the organization. If he thought then that
the Germans and Irish were ssvoting cattle, -
it is fair to presume that he thinks so now.
In bis paper he attacked Catholicism, abused
the priests and damned the Germans, whom
he called ''lop cared, beer swilling hogs Not
German or an Irishman in these parts who
is a thinking, reading man, will vote for the
Republican nominees. One of the principal
cardinal principles of the Democratic party
has always been protection of citizens, either
at home or abroad. The Democratic party
taught England that lesson in 1928. II
Blaine should be elected he has not manhood
enough about him to raise himself above vio-
lent partisanship and be president of the
whole people. He would be president Of the
Republican party.
The New York Catholic Eran,iner expresses
nv convictions when it says:
1--WE consider Blaine to be 8 dangerous an.
In the little time that he had control of the
I
country into unnecessary war, and he performed
other diplomatic somersaults that were more
ridiculous than edifying. His past record does
not encourage US to hope for good behavior in
the future. He is an INSCRIPTIONS demagoeue,
representing q corrupt party. Under these cir
cumstances we cannot but think the election of
Cleveland and Hendricks viii be a public
benefit"
