gredatioR has sounded. In the Repub
lican party this element gathered about
Blaine, and Blains's nomination was its
definite victsry. For that party the
nation has no further use,"
From a whitening article in that
able Republican paper, the New
York Evening Post, we extract the
following paragraph:
"The jobbing, corrupt element in the
party, which sees in politics simply a
means Of distributing dividends out Of
the na:isnal exchequer, and to which
all political issues are simply devices to
distract public attention from their in
dustry, has long been slowly coming to
q head, in the fashion OF tumor, in Mr..
James G.. Blaine. A cold, silent man
could never become the lodgment Of
this gathering humor. To serve the
purpose of this portion of the party, the
champion had to be \ cheerful, jolly,
hail fellow well met, not over particu-
ular, audacIous, unscrupulous, and faith
full to his friends sort Of a man, whose
own weaknesses would give him sympa-
thy with the prevailing weaknesses of
his followers. Such a man they have
got in Mr.. Blaine. What he thinks
about the main questions of the day
they do not know and do net care. All
they know is that if he were in power
no man could have the cold shoulder
turned to him because of his crooked
ness,' and there would be in politics
much OF the noise and tumult and sur
prise IN which they delight, and in which
good opportunities for adventurous
spirits most abound.
The New York Times, the most
influential Republican journal in the
United States, concludes an article
with these pointed words:
'"The new era will be had yet, but
before we can get it we shall have to
bury the arch representative of the
meanest clement of the old spoils era,
who is the present candidate OF the Re-
publicsn party, Mr.. Blaine"
A telegram from New York to
the Boston Herald says:
1.-THE disgust and Indignation of indie
pendent voters at the Chicago nomina-
tion began to assume a defiHite shape
to-day. Informal conference of indie
pendents were held in Brooklyn and in
this city this forenoon. As result,
printed circular protesting against the
action of the convention was issued
early in the day, and has already re-
ceived a surprisingly large number sf
signatures. The signsrs are to hold
conference next week, at which steps
will be taken for publicly and emphati-
cally dissenting from the nomination of
the tattoeed man and Black Jack. The
nomination OF an Independent candi-
date is strongly advocated as the most
forcible way Of formulating a profess,
and also OF founding the new party
which will probably result from the ac-
ti0n at Chicago. But the idea of an 9TH
er candidate, however, meets with more
or less opposition and the advice of the
independents new on their way back
from Chicago will do much towards de-
termining this point. 1t is probable
that the New York independents will
prefer to await the results OF the Demo
cratic convention. With Grover Clevs-
land and some promise of tariff reform in
their platform, the Democrats could
capture $4,000 Independent votes in this
State.
There is great alarm about Mass
The disaffection in that
State is very great, and there is
strong ground to believe that it will
ge for the Democratic ticket, if
judieious nomination is made. These
are some of the few signs of revolt
that are cropping out. We have
never seen such evidences of disgust
and dissatisfaction. The Demo
Gratis only have to exercise ordinary
and judgment, and their
victory is assured.
