An AMERICAN FOR PRES1'
DENT.

Under the heading "A Beacons-
field Beyond the Seas" the Pail
Mall Gazette says: "The Blaine
nomination is the most notable
event for England since Lincoln
was assassinated. Wherever Blaine
can GUST the British from the posi-
ition they hold on the American
continent he will do it, and he will
use his influence to push trade by
America. His menacing intimation
when he disregarded the Clayton
Bulwer treaty is an evil augury for
the future relations of England and
America, and his Intervention in
Peru was most ominous, when he
declared that he disliked England
to win commercial triumphs in
fields that belonged to America.
England watches with extreme SOL
ictude the progress of the cam
paign."
If there is any one thing which
is bound to endear Blaine to the
hearts of the people of this country
it is his strong Americanism. For
the last ten years America has been
slowly anglicized and scandalized
by the gradual introduction of Bri-
fish manners and customs. Their
snobbishness and boorishness has
been aped by the New York and
Boston dudes until walk down
Broadway gives one glimpse Of
Pail Mall. The English drag, with
English funkies, carrying men
about in loud Cockney dress is now
the rage and the abhorant English
railway coach, which is the abomi-
nation of every continental travel
er, is now regular thing in Massa-
chussets. There is getting to be
to much of this slayish imitation
of the most ridiculous and objec-
tionable Of English customs by
Americans, and of late years the
Government has caught the infec-
ton and has on more than one oc-
casion bowed the knee to Britannia
and made concessions to the Crown
which have disguised the Amcri-
can people. 1t is all very well tc
talk of the mother country and the
amicable relations which ought to
exist between Great Britain and
the United States. but it is all non.
sense to cultivate these relations al
the expense Of our shipping and
commercial interest. England fol
lows purely mercenery course in
all its dealings with nations. It is
close-isted, hard driving and
treacherous. It fawns to its su.
periors and drives to the verge OF
desperation every people and prov
ince that is unfortunate enough to
fall under its dominion and tyrran
les. During the war whose only
object was to disrupt the Union, il
gave covert but actual support tt
the South. It looks in its pocket

seeking to aid the Democratic
party by all the means in its power
because it expects from them what
