The Presidential candidacy of Mr..
James G. Blaine is menace of evil to
the Republic. OF all the citizens that
were proposed to the assembly of
partisan electors, and of all whose
names have been mentioned in connec-
ton with that office, Mr.. Blaine is the
least fit, the least trustworthy.
He is perhaps the most intense par
tisan in America. Moreover, his party
ism is not the partyi>m of a statesman
who is guided by sincere convictions
founded on broad knowledge and under
standing. 1t is the partyism of a mere
passion for leadership actuating man
of intense prejudices, of ugly temper,
and of defective understanding, whose
highest happiness is in playing the ring
of Mr.. Blaine was fully displayed dur
ing bis leadership of the House, ut a
time when passion rather than judy
ment was the guide OF nearly all the
members of that chamber.
In no respectable sense of the word
is MIR. Blaine q statesman. When he
entered the Senate "a body in which
craftsmanship is not yet wholly extinct
he stepped out of his own place and
into one which he failed to manifest the
faculty of filling resi- ectably. SO far
from adding to his public reputation,
his brief career of Senator served only
as a means of making more conspicuous
his notable defects by comparison with
superior characters. 1t has been said
by some of his personal champions that
he made himself conspicuous by his adj
vocacy of the Chinese immigration Pro-
hibitiOn Bill. He made speech for
that measure which gained for him no
admiration among those who listened
to its delivery. Without any founda-
ton in reason, knowledge, or under
standing of his subject. it was the pain
full harangue If an aspiring demagogue
who, as everyone plainly perceived, was
already fishing for the "sandlOt'' votes.
His strange and more than suspicious
South American diplomacy was fur
Their exhibition of I meddling and reck
less propensity to "rush in where
angels fear to tread and to undertake
what neither angels nor mOrtals of good
Judgment and right prudence would
either undertake or approve. That
chapter alone in the public career of
Blaine contains conclusive proof to all
sound minds of the peril with which his
selection for the Presidency menaces

A Piece OF Mosaic.

The Republican National platform is
a piece of joiner work fearfully and
wonderfully made.
There is any quantity of lumber in it.
This was necessary in order that there
might be standing room for all the dis
cOrdant factions.
The tariff plank is made partly of
high protection pine. partly of free trade
. hickory, with some little stuff easily
broken worked in TO carry the labor
element till after the election.
One thing the country is assured of
in this platform and that is that the
Republican party is pledged to tax the
people for something besides the neces-
sary revenue. The tariff resolution de-
clares that 1.-The imposition of duties on
foreign imports shall be made not for
reUenue only"
If the taxation on imported articles
used by the American people is not to
be for revenue only. then what in the
name of justice is it to be for? Is the
money wrung from the industry of the
country by this means to be for plumber
or for distribution among favored
classes?
The Republican wiseacres at Chicago
deserve the hearty thanks of the De-
mocracy for putting that impudent dec
laration into their platform. They will
wish they had omitted it before the ides
of November shall have come.
Then the charge by implication in this
platform that the Democrats favor a
horizontal reduction of the tariff is
another fine piece of work. The trainers
of the platform knew they were con-
structing lie when they made it.
The OnlY horizontal reduction of the
tariff that ever was made or attempted
was the ten per cent. cut made by the
Republican Congress of 1872. The
Morrison bill left the tariff on Injuries
as it found it and also limited its re-
duction by the rates of the Morrill, bill.
1t was therefore not horizontal.
In order to catch the wool-growers a
special plank is put into the platform
for their benefit When was ever before
any particular interest singled out by a
political party to be favored especially
at she expense of all Others?
The wool resolution becomes peculi-
arly ridiculous in the Ugh. of the fact
that the reduction of the wool tariff was
made by a Republican Congress upon
the recommendation of the Republican
Tariff Commission.
The remainder of the platform is
simply an Indictment of the Republican
party itself for its negligence in correct
ing abuses and uproOting evils which
came with its coming and grew with its
growth.
The decay of American commerce.
the moral crime of polygamy, the deg
radiation of the civil service, the system
of substituting railroads with land
grants. the destruction of the navy, the
corruption of elections, all these are
part of the history of twenty-five years
of Republican ascendancy.
Does the Republican party want
twenty-five years more to correct the
evils it has wrought or tolerated It
would seem so Judging from the stupiS
platitudes of its National platform.

There is not an Independent journal
of any standing or influence, from Maine
to California, that does not oppose the
election of Blaine. Indeed, some of the
most reputable and influential Repub-
lican newspapers are as pronounced

Republican nominee as any Democratic
newspaper in the land

their hostility to Blaine. These papers

fluence they will exert upon the minds
of intelligent and thoughtful people
will be quite sufficient to ensure Mr.
Blaine's defeat. Already a movement
for the nomination of another ticket
which shall represent the disaffected
Republican element is in contempla-

presented to the Democrats to make a

Strong for the Ticket.

There is no question but that two OF
our prominent men will support the
ticket nominated at Chicago, and SUD-
port it enthusiastically. They are Mr..
Blaine and Mr.. Logan. They have said
so. They have said so more than once,
and, as if anxious to give emphasis to
their declarations, have added that they
would sooner cut their right hands of
than hold back in this hour of their
cOuntry's peril. They tell the people
plainly that the convent on did well.
1.-The people asked themselves who the
aggressive statesmen was to lead them
to victory" SAYS Mr.. Logan. land then
came back the answer, James e. Blaine,

1.-The country did well to honor 4
man like Logan" says Mr.. Blaine.
''whose noble career is the pride of
old men and the inspiration of the
boys"
What Republican can refuse % sup

G. Blaine upon it?' cries Logan.
''Who can 60 back ON the soldier
statesman, John A. Logan?" echoes
Mr.. Blaine.
Tine people will soon be aroused"
says Logan, land will obey the edicts
OF their personal sovereignty"
"You can not beat ticket which has
the magic name of Logan upon it."

victions concerning him. They are I'M

mere opinions, much less vicious preiu-
dices. They are based upon charges,
supported by evidence largely supplied
and more largely conf ~med by Mr..
Blaine himself, and they have never

our satisfaction. TO make a public
man against whom charges most Sc

than 4 blunder: il is a grave Offense
against both the country and the party.
That was what we tried to say with
great clearness and emphasis before
Mr.. Blaine was nominated, and we now
say it again after he has been nomi-
mated. We declined then to shout
with the large mob which demanded
his nomination. and we decline
to do it now. We contended that, in
view of the undisproved charges against
Mr.. Blaine, to nominate him would be

The Opposition to Blaine.

The opposition TO Blaine within the
ranks of she party which has already
shown itself is sufficient to cause the
most enthusiastic supporters of the
Plumea Knight 10 wear long faces.
They pretend, however, not to be in the
least alarmed. and declare that the OPP

lief that the opposition VIII dis ont ~

ton to Garfield died out in 1880. is not
well founded. The conditions of affairs
'is very different. In 1880 there was no
great amount of hostility to Garfield.
There was only disappointment On she
part of the supporters of GranG Mt the
failure of their favorite TO get the nOm-
ination. Those who are opposed to
Blaine feel that his nomnation WIS one

party has dishonored itself by placing
him at the head of its ticket It IS not
PROBABLE, therefore, that their hostility
will disappear as the campaign pro-
crosses. The prominent Republican
journals which have pronounced against
the ticket can not change their position,
because there will be no possible excuse
for change. They knew all shout
Blaine before his nomination, and the
accusations which could not be shown
to be unfOunded before the nomination
are not likely t. be shown to be false
after it.

is better for the party that it should

the Blaine shouters do not lose good
deal of that enthusiasm on which they
are counting so strongly to give Blaine
the victory. Admitting all that may
have been said about Blaine resources
and his popularity with a very large
majority of his party. it must not be
forgotten that in some of the doubtful
States in 1880 a change of compare
