What Some Of the Leading Papers
say Of IL.

say OF IL.
New York Times: There will be
nothing ambiguous about the defeat
of Dir. Blame. He who runs may
clearly read the verdict in advance:
y candidate unworthy ofconfdence
and a party too careless Of its own
honor to be longer trusted with the
nations. That defeat Will be the
salvation of the Republican party,
1t will arouse its torpid conscience, itI
will stir it to self publication, it will
depose tie false leaders who have fas
tened themselves upon it, it Will
send the rogues to the background
and will make the party once more
worthy ofhonorand Of power in the
republic it has so nobly served.
When the party has passed through
the fires of defeat and is we'll rid Of
its peccant humors, it will come back
to the impregnable ground Of right ii
stood on when it beat down trrasona 4
disumon to a position in which t
shall embody the highest and best
impulses Of American ifc, to a stale
Of heart and mind which shall fit it to
be again the custodian of that match
less trust government Of the people,
by the people, AMI for The people"
New York World: "In presenting
this extraordinary combination of
corruption and demagogism the Ec~
publican convention acted with unu
sual audacity and honesty. AudacI-
ty. because if there is anything the
republic sadly needs and tlse pablo
conscience demands it is reform in
high places and the peri8catlon OF
the government Huncs,y, because
the Republican candidates have gen
orally worn masks of hypocrisy, and
in nominating Mr.. Blaine the mercen-
aries have for the first time thrown
away all. fagrsntly defied all claims
= principles or reform aad put mp al
! out-and-out ticket for SPOTS only.
That Mr.. Blaine is an able man OF
I great talents and daring, and sill
greater popularity with his party,
and THAI he is beyond doubt true
representative Of modern Rep0 blican.
ism, il not its idol, makes the issue
thus far ell tie more pregnant; for
before the canvass is fully opened il
! will lie clear to the plaInest under
standing that James q. Blaine rep
'esents not only the machine Of The
Republican party, but the demoral
iSIug and oOrrup;ing power Of Wal
Street, the money interests, The mon
epolies, corporations, ard all protecC-
ed, privileged, special classes. All
that is rcprehersible and base in OUT
! deaaoiai'Etd poE,ica system will
naturally rally - his support, VIII
ne be defeated? That is clearly il
tho hands of Democrats"
Chicago News: cit Is perhap.
Oeedless to say that the act of tho
convention has not changed our
opinion of the man who is the nomi
noe of the Republican party. The
act may constitute in tho eyes Oi
many a political Lethe, but we see nc
reason to follow those whose convict
tons are so easily changed, No one
has disproved tae chSrges mad,
against Ec. Blaine, nor have they
! ever been withdrawn. In short, he i;
to day in all respect the same mar
that he was before the convention as
sembled. We have, therefore NJ
regrets whatever on the score. He J,
now the standard bearer Of one of thu
great political parties-deliberately
chosen by men whose right TO selec
/ ann is indiputable, and whose re-
sporsibiIjty for that selec ton is eq~&l
ly obvious"
