NEED NOT DESPAIR.

Mr.. Blaine Not Dead as a Presidential
Candidate, Although He Nor Any Other
Republican Is Likely to Be Elected.
The Tribune takes to task certain
Democratic papers which, it says, have
pronounced Mr.. Blaine "dead'' as a
Presidential candidate. Our contem-
porary thinks it TOO early to order the
coffin,'' and fortifies its position by this
"reminiscences:
Andrew Jackson was born in 1857 He was
party and was defeated for the Presidency in
1874. He was then fifty-seven years old. Four
years later he was elected; four years after
that he was elected again. From the time his
second term of office expired to the day of his
death, though private citizen, holding no
Office and seeking none, he was the most pow
erful man i'm American politics.
1t is scarcely admissible to iken
James G. Blaine to Andrew jackson.
But it must be remembered that in 1924,
although beaten in the House of Repre-
sentatives through the failure of ma
jority in the Electoral College, Andrew
Jackson in the quadrangular contest
received a plurality of the popular vote,
of the Electoral vote and of the States.
But why confine Blaine's consolation
to the case of Andrew Jacksonp Will
lam H. Harrison, of Ohio. was defeated
in 1886 by an electoral vote of 10 to IS
much more than two to one-and was
elected in 1910 by log cabins, hard cider
and 234 electoral votes against CO.
very nearly four to one. Harrison was
born in 1773; hence he was sixty-three
years of age when defeated and sixty
seven when elected.
Certainly the Tribune need not de-
spair of Blaine in 1888. To be sure it
was found impossible to resuscitate
Henry Clay after his defeat in 1874, al
though very determined effort was
made to that end by his devoted follow
ers. But Clay was not so representa-
tive man as Blaine-of his party. He
was conservative, honest, unstained.
Blaine is an admirable and faithful rep
resentative of Republicanism. He is
reckless, INSCRIPTIONS and not very
nice about the condition of his record.
The Tribune is right in denying that
Mr.. Blaine is dead. He is alive-and
kicking. There is nothing to prevent
Mr.. Blaine from obtaining the Repub-
Gcan nomination in 1888, after his brill
liant canvass and narrow defeat this
year. Whether he can ever be elected
President depends on one man-Groyer
Cleveland. If Mr. Cleveland's Admins
be, and if he is faithful to his pledges to
the people, while Blaine will be a fitting
candidate in 1888, there is no likelihood
that he or any other Republican will be
President.-N. Y. World.

IBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNE.i
PITTsBURG Aug 21.-The quiet that has regned
for several days in the camp of the striking miners in
the fourth pool was disturbed to-day. President Cos
tello of the Miners Union arrested and ntorma
ton has been made against every member of the camp
The trouble began early this morning. Long before
daybeab 100 of the campers, headed by brass band
marched to Greenfield drew up before the lookup and
gave a serenade to two of their number who were ar
rested several days ago for conspiracy, and who were
surrendered yesterday by their bondsmen. Constable
Mcclure recognized among the strikers a man for
whom q warrant had been issued week ago but who
had eluded arrest. Mcclure read tho warrant to the
man, but the latter refused to accompany him. The
constable then called on President Costello aud all the
others in the name of the Commonwealth to assist in
making the arrest. Costello declared that he would
not obey the The other strikers said nothing
but remained in their places. Mcclure left but soon
returned with several deputy sherifs. Costello met
them. and in perempOry manner ordered the officers
TO return 10 their homes if they did not want to
bloody riot. The strikers applauded this little speech
and eered at the officers, but made further hostile
mOnstration. The officers retreaed in good form
and made information against everybody in the camp
for obstructing the service OF legal process. Presi
dent Costello was also charged with refusing to assist
an officer in making an arrest. Warrants issued
for seyenty-ve of the strikers, whose names OBJ
tained but Costello the only person arrested this
afternoon. He was captured while walking apart
from the camp and hurried off before the strikers
knew he was in custody lie obtained bail in short
tme and says the sege will be continued bat hrs dee
laration is not likely TO be verified Reports received
10 night say that his army is vanishing rapidly, the
strikers leaving foot 10 escape arrest In addition
to this work has been resumed IN nearly all the pts.
and impartial observers all agree that the enoIt TO eN
tend the strike has failed 1t Is not very likely an
attempt will be made 20 arrest those strikers who have
fed, as the chief anxiety OF the operators who made
the information is to get them out OF the county.
