People are commencing to drop out
of the Democratic party even before
their nominations are made. If these
things are in green wood, what may
we not expect in the dry? The most
conspicuous instance of this kind is
that of eX- Mayor Liddell, of Pitts

was lately their candidate for re-clec-
ton to the same place. He boasts
that he never voted for Republican
in his life, and has just made this
public announcement

to vote for him and work for him.
My reasons are partly personal and
partly political. 1 have always been
a warm admirer of. Blaine, and if he
had been nominated as far back as
1876 l would have kicked over the

Like drowning man clutching at
straws, the Democratic party has been
cllnging to the hope that Tilden and

straw, however, feels itself too weak

Gen. Sherman on the Dead.

Gen. Sherman delivered the follow

ton Day:
To-day is the festival of our dead.
We unite to honor the memory of
our dead and our beloved to enrich
and ennoble our lives by recalling a
public heroism and a private worth
that are immortal ; to encourage by
our solemn services a more Jealous
-s~eY -afwart patriotism. Festival of
ourdead ! Yes, though many eyes
are elouded with tears 4; though many
hearts are heavy with regrets; though
many lives are still desoIate for the
father or brother, the husband or
lover who did not come back though
every grave which tender reverence
or love adorns with flowers is the
shrine of SORROWS whose influence is
still potent, though their first keen
pognancy is over; in spite of all, to-
day is a festival-a festival of our
dead. No less a festival because it is
fun of soemnity. And now, in the
silent camping-grOund of our dead,
as with soldierly tenderness and lOYe
we garland these passiOnlesS wounds,
recall those who made their breasts
the barricade between our country
and its foes, let us recall their tolls,
their sufieringS, their herOiSm, their
supreme fidelity in camp, in prison.

hospital that the flag under which
they fought, and from the shadow Of
whose folds they were promoted, may
never be dishonored that the coun-
t,v. for whose union and supremacy
they surrendered life, may have the
feryent and enthusiastic devotion of
every citizen; that as we stand by
every grave, as before an altar, we
NAV pledge our manhood that so help
MS God the memory Of our dead shall
encourage and strengthen in us all a
more loyal patriotism"

The TattOOed Man.

Yes, Mr.. Blaine is tattooed. So
was General Garfield. So was Abra-
ham Lincoln, So has been almost
every man. whom the American peO-
pie have learned to admire, to trust
and to love. AS soon as any man
gains public confidence, malignant
and enviOus creatures are found to
reyile him. George Washington was
called traitor to the country, after
he had secured its independence.
Thomas Jefferson was uot only an in.
fidel, but a tool of France. General
Jackson was reviled and hated as no
man has been in this generation.
Abraham Lincoln, let us not forget,
was a gorilla. General Garfield was
hunted to his grave with Islander ;
1929" was industriously scrawled on
payements, and there were creatures
in this very State who alledged that
his loved and noble wife was seeking
to obtain a divorce when he was as
Sassinated. He was the tattoOed man
of 1880. and the very people who
emptied the foulest ISLANDERS upon
him while living helped to swell the
chorus of honor ana of sorrow when
he was suddenly taken from us. The
best and strongest men of the country
have always been tattooed in the
same fashion.
But history shows clearly what the
people have thought of the tattOoeing
process in the past. The very men
who have been most shamelessly Will
fed are those whom the Nation has
delighted to honor. What the people
think of the tattOoeing business now
is best shown by the nomination of
Jas. G. Blaine, in spite of patronage,
in spite Of Of detractiOn, in spite of
scandals circulated constantly for
eight years, and in spite of his own
refusal TO make any effort to secure a
nomination. When unarimity hard
ly ever shown in any other instance,
the Republicans of the State from
which Republican maiOrities must
come haye preferred Mr.. Blaine as
their standafd-bearer. Those who
have been tattooeing him may learn
that the millions reject their SANDERS
and despise their abuse.
Are we to believe that, after listen
ing to charges against Mr.. Blaine
for eight years, the American people
have deliberately gone wrong? Are
we to suppose that the people prefer
an unworthy man, or are not cOmpe-
tent to weigh evidence against him ?
He who has that idea shows that he
does not believe in self government
and is not fit for a share in it HIM
self. Let the campaign pictures be
sent broadcast all over the land, by all
means. But klet James G. Blaine,
James A. Garfield, and Abraham
Lincoln be placed side by side, as the
three most tattooed men of later
American history, They knew each
other well, trusted and loved each
other, and were loved and trusted by
the American people. That they were
all tatt0oed is only proof that the men
whom the Notion trusts are sure to
have creatures to SANDER them. THE

tional Church in Augusta, Me. On
his fathers side, Mr.. Blaine's ances-
tors were always identified with the
Presbyterian Church, and when in
Washington Mr.. Blaine and family
are attendants at a Presbyterian
.hurch. Mr.. Blaine was educated al
Washington College, Pennsylvania,
which was then, and is now. when
consolidated with Jefferson College,
one of the staunchest of Presbyterian
institutions.
Mr.. Blaine's former pastor, Dr..
Ecob, in an interview published a
few days ago in the Albany ECentn9
Journal, says of Mr.. Blaine: "ln
the church he is hOnored and beloY-
ed. The good old New England GUS
tom of church going with all the
guests is enforced strictly in the
Blaine household. Whoever is I'M
der his roof, from the President down
is expected to be with the family at
church. Fair weather or foul those
pews were always well filled, Not
only his presence on Sabbath, but his
influence, his wise counsels, his purse
are freely devoted to the old South
Church of Augusta. The hold which
Mr.. Blaine has maintained upon the
hearts of such great numbers of his
countrymen is not sufficiently ex-
planned by brilliant gifts of magnet
ism; the secret lies in his generous
manly, Christian character"

Hon. Samuel J. Tilden has written
a letter to the chairman of the Dem
ocratic State Central Committee of
New York, positively declining, on
account of advancing age and i'm
paired health, to accept the Demo-
cratic nomination for the Presidency.
This puts a quietus on the howl for
the "old ticket" and leaves only
Cleveland, Carlisle, Bayard, Morri-

enough for the Republicans to beat

Mr.. Blaine's Religion.

From the Philadelphia Press.l
What the religious views ola Pres
idential candidate may be is a ques-
tion which, in this country, ought
not to be asked. Nevertheless, many
well-meaning people do ask it, and
since the nomination of Mr.. Blaine
we have received many inquiries as
to his religion. With the complete
divorce of church and state, which
obtains in this country, we do not
conceive that a mans private views
of the relation of man to his Maker
in any way affect his capacity or fit
ness for high public station, or that it
can he Of any public concern whether
the President of the United States, or
n candidate for that office, belongs to
particular cnurch Ornot. AS, how
ever, many good people do ask this
question about Mr.. Blaine with en-
tire good faith, We answer them as
we have answered similar inquiries
before, that Mr.. Blaine and his wife
are both members of the Congrega-
