Hon. Francis f. Spinner.
WHY THE ELEcTIoS OF BLAINE AND LoeAs
Is DEsiRABLE.

In reading short sketch of the lite of this
grand old man, one is reminded of the cam-
paign through which we are passing. The
historian says:
When first became acquainted with Hon.
F. f Spinner, he represented the largest
constituency, and the greatest majority, of
any member of Congress from the State
of New York. AT that time he was one of
the best abused men in the State The ad.
ministration of the previous Congress spotted
him, and spared no pains. no cost, no labor.
to prevent his denomination; and when the
effort failed, the same set of politicians en-
desvored to sap and mine, and defeat his
election. The General was triumphantly
elected by majority exceeding the entire
vote that first entitled him 10 q seat in the
House of national representatives. He was
denounced as q traitor. a tyrant, an infidel,
an abolitionist, and disunionist. News
papers, circulars, tracts, and hand-bills were
scattered broadcast before his constituents.
These libelous and infamous publications
blistered the walls of every shed, liquor shop

When every American citizen, of what.
ever race or color. can vote as freely in
one State as in another, and have his vote
counted; when the South abandons its
free trade menace to Northern industries
then, and not till then, will even the
beginning of the end of the Republican
party's mission come in sight, And after
that there will be new tasks for it to take
mp. There are many channels left in
which the glorious party of human rights
aud honest labor may yet be useful.
