Blaine and the Republicans.

New York Sun: There are many
Republicans who see in the present
candidate of theirparty none Of these
solid qualities of Judgment and pru-
dence which should be possessed by
a possible ruler Of a nation, and
none of that scrupulous honor
which ought to be expected in a pub
lie man. These republicans are dis
pusted with the result of the Chicago
Convention, and some of them have
already declared their resolution OF
opposing restless ADVENTURE whose
administration, if to the misfortune
of the country he should be elected
President, would mean corruption at
home and reckless ENHANCEMENT
abroad. In Massachusetts an active
protest against him is already made.
and in New York, where the Repub-
licans need every vote they can get,
a decided disaffectiOn exists.
It is hard to see how Mr.. Blames
followers can be unprepared for de,
feat. In 1881 their favorite did all
he could do to divide the party. For
the sake of gratifying a personal
grudge, he induced Garfield to wage
war against Conkling. The party,
while it was yet in the flush of re-
cent victory, was disorganized and
split into bitterly opposed factions.
Then came Garield's assassination,
and the men who had made him a
tool and his short administration a
failure, had nothing but abuse or
distrust for his successor.
Mr.. Arthur found his party III the
wretched plight to which Mr.. Blaine
leadership had brought it. By mod
Grafton and conservatism and pru-
dence. the President made the party
stronger and more united than could
have been expected. The nomina-
ton of Mr.. Blaine again threatens
to produce dangerous, perhaps fatal,
division. Mr.. Blaine, who has the
voluntary cause of the division in
his party in 1881, is now the invol-
untary cause of divisions in it in
1884. He can have no reason to
complain if there are Republicans
who will crafty their suspicion OF
their hatred of him to the loss of the
party, as he gratifed his private ha-
tired to the loss of the party III 1881
But there is this difference. He III
jured his party merely to satisfy pri-
vate malice. The men who oppose
him this fall, even if defeat or ruin
of republicaniSm should be the re-
suit, are acting for the most part
from patriotic motives because they
believe that he is a dangerous and
unprincipled politician, unfit and un-
worthy to be entrusted with the ma
tional Government. They may
smash the Republican party, but Mr.
Blaine can't complain; he tried tc
smash it himself.

Rosecrans Suggested.

A correspondent in the Kansas
City Times urges the claims of that
brave old veteran and able congress
man, General Rosecrans, for the vice
presidency. Old "Rosy" is a tower
of strength and would add great
force to the ticket. Being on the
ticket would insure California to the
democracy if there is any doubt on
that question. His claims are worthy
of consideration by all delegates.
The correspondent says: This
brave veteran has twice led the Cal
ifornia democracy to victory. AS
the organizer of the blue and gray
legion in San Francisco, he, in 1880,
elevated the dropping democratic
standard and with that dash and en-
thusiasm for which he is noted, led
a reunited democracy to victory saw
ing California's electoral vote to
Hancock and English and defeating
the strongest republican in the state
for cOngreSs-the Hon. Horace Da-
Wis. In 1892 he returned to Wash
ington, where he had been honOred
with the chairman of the joint sena-
torial congressional committee of
the democratic party. Receiving
unanimous nomination of the San
Jose convention, which nominated
Stoneman, General RoSecrans again
led the San Francisco democracy to
victory. He is sound upon the Chi
nese question and is almost idolized
by the democracy of the Pacific
coast, and could and would neutral
ize the much boosted devotion of
that section to James G. Blaine. He
bears even a prouder record than
General Logan, and would discount
him in obtaining the support of the
soldier vote as the "TIerO of Chicka-
mauga," as commander of the army
of the Cumberland, as the victor at
Tullahoma, Conneto and Iuka he
would cast into shadow and Outshine
the so-called soldier statesman, John
A. Logan. He is 4 prominent officer
in the grand army of the republic
and the loyal legion, and would di-
vide with Logan the support of the
members of those influential organi-
cations.
His democracy is of the most pos
tive, Interchangeable character. He
holds in his possession letter
(which the writer has SEEM tender
ing him the nomination from Ohio
for vice-preSident with Lincoln in
1864, which he declined because he
was a democrat. He was rendered
a republican nomination for Govern
or of Ohio at the close of the war,
but declined to sacrifice his demo
cratic principles.
know that General w. S. Rose
Grams would feel honOred by dem
ocratic nomination for the yice-pres-
idency, and in view of his possible
candidacy he has not been renomina-
ted for Congress from the San Fran
cisco district. He is a native of
Ohio, and is as strong in that state
as in California. Let w. S. Rose
Grams be placed upon the democratic
ticket with Cleveland or Bayard, or
in fact any eminent eastern democrat
ic statesman and a victory would be
assured.

Bearish Market-The Bulls Conn peIIed to Resort to ManipuIatfon to Sustain Values-A Slight Advance in Prices at the Close.

NEW YORK Sept 2.
 Trading in stocks to-day was only on moder ate scale and except in few instances the changes were slight and unimportant. About the only fea- lures of the day were raid on Louisville and Nash vile and Northwestern. The first named stock was sold down on the delay in making public the pany financial plan. which gave rise to reports that the directors of the company had been unable to agree and that the company was in worse shape than generally supposed. Northwestern shares were ralded on reports that the earnings of the company for the fourth week of August would show decrease of over S20O,0OO The shares of this road, however were pretty well sustained, only de elining fractionally. Louisville and Nashville did not fare so well under the reports regarding it and in the absence of any decided support the stock de- cred partly on the publication of part of the new financial plan later The rest of the list fuctuated frequently but the feeling was bearish and the bull clqueS to sustain the market had to repeatedly bid up certain of the leaders and create scare among the shorts. In the early afternoon dealings, port of further cutting of rates by the trunk lines, The lowest prices of the day were made about 1:3O but from that hour the list was we'll supported and at the close quotations showed fractional advance Tn a majority or instances compared with the closing prices Of the previous day: Louisville and Nashville was the weakest stock closing IS down. The specaltes were dull and the changes unimport ant. The sales to-day aggregated 255 700 shares. Money closed easy at 3 per cent.

THREE SUICIDES.

James Carney at LOngIneadoW Ends
 His Ltfe-DispOndeneyt the Cause.
 James Carney, farmer 50 years old, of Longmeadow, committed suicide, Sunday evening last, by taking Paris green. He was widower with four children. His wife died about year ago, and since that time Carney has been Respondent at times, and indifferent as to his business or his life. Lately the despondency increased, but no one seems to have suspected that he would take his life. Sunday morning he was found in his room in condition approaching un- consciousness, and he told his children what he had done. As soon as possible Dr. Parsons, of Thompsonyille, was summoned, and the usual restoratives were applied but without success, and in the evening Carney died. He was in Springfield, Saturday, attending to some business, and seemed to be in his usual state of mind. But he told his children Sunday that he had contemplated suicide because he was tired of living. He was nervous and discontented, and thought he would be better off if dead. Besides the children, the deceased had a brother, John Carney, who also lived in Long meadow, and these relatives took charge of the remains which were buried yesterday.
 This is the third suicide in this place with in a month

 Our attention has been called to an exten- sive improvement in this church in the Twelfth ward, which has been closed for sev- eral weeks past on this account. The main audience room has been repainted and the pulpit is now of brown color with panels of maroon, which are relieved by black mouldings, corresponding with the furniture, which is of black walnut and maroon velvet. The large room. which is used by the Sunday school has been painted on an original de sign, the main walls of olive and old gold with dado of dark colors thrown into relief by broad bands of black and a frieze of lav- ender which is made effective by dark rich lines. Messrs H. w Foster & Go. have sup piled the cushions and the carpets which are of new illuminated designs. The whole work, which has been done at less than two thousand dollars, has been entirely paid for as it has proceeded. It reflects great credit upon the society and indicates it's prosperity. This church will be reopened next Sunday morning for the usual services, the Sunday school meeting directly after the morning service.

 informing them in advance that he would have plenty of chicken and lobster salad,
 ''dry verzenay" and everything that would please the palate of his numerous friends.
 The frame was raised, and the way his friends disposed of the hard tack and cold water after the raising was caution. The excuse made by Richard that there was no milk punch provided was that his COW was farrow. The sEHeidsick'' was absent because the party from whom he ordered it had ''failed to put in an appearance.
