from the Manchester Journal
1t becomes our duty as = go)d Republican
to support Mr. Blaine unless his personal
character Is such as to justify boiling the
party ticket. On this point we hope he will
be able to show himself innocent of all charges
that have or may be brought against him.
From the Woodstock Standard
That loyalty that has ever characterized
the masses of the party in this State is re-
Stunning its sway and the ranks are rapidly
1lllng up solid for the march to victory,
which will be as decisive as ever, at least so
far as Vermont Is concerned
tFrom the West Randolph Herald
Whatever may be said of the personal
character of MIR. Blaine or of his political
acts, he stands as the representative of that
portion OF the party, which in the past has
brought rcproach upon it.
from the st. Johnsbury Indexl
The nomination of James q. Blaine and
John A. logan is wet blanket on the Re-
publican party as a body in, this vicinity,
and throughoutthe State of Vermont. The
opinion Of large aiority of the party is
that no more obiectional and dangerous
ticket could have been placed in nomination.
On all sides we hear the opipon expressed
that the Democrats have ~ to nominate a
strong fhen-Gov. 1eeelaud, for ip-
stance'-to stand fair chanco.' CT WIN
ming. This re Consider to be q fact
from the Bellows Falls Tlmes.l
We could have given up Edmunds but did
not expect the convention would 30 SO far
toward throwing away what we believed to
be the chances In tho pending Presidential
election We sincerely hope it will prove
we are mistaken nor will we 60 into q lengthy
Circumloculion as to the cauSc OF the result.
IN such convention the majority must rule.
lhero docs not appear to have been anything
unfair in the nomination Nor docs it ap-
pear that any combination was possible in
the convention for the nomination u any
other man. Ut Is clear case where the ma
lorlty favored the result. 1t is so pronounced
by The strongest men who supported Ed
munds, and he certainly had some of the
strongest and best support of the nation. 1t
is also pronounced by other equally good
and strong men who oppose the successful
nominee We are simply asked now to sup
port the nominee, as we would have asked
others to have supported our choice if that
had been successful.

Inc nomination of James G. Blame is
satisfying to no one but the office holder and
the INSCRIPTIONS politician, the men to
whom the end justifies every means. The
