neavy defeat Tor the Irish party. The
Democrats are to be congratulated on
having made wise choice, and there
seems every probability at present of
their carrying the Presidency. From an
outside point of view, Governor Cleve-
land is somewhat preferred TO Mr..
Blaine. The latter has Irish filibuster
leaning. and is much stronger pro-
tsctiOnist than his rival.
ENGLAND ovERAwED.
From the London Telegraph: Mr..
Blaine is identified with a foreign poll
cy, Ostentatious, clustering and rash.
Even now the organs that support him
promise that Spain will be frightened
and England Overawed il he is placed at
the helm of affairs. These pledges and
the previous reputation of the candidate
will probably secure the Irish vote for
the Republican party in many states
Cleveland has done himself undying
Such fact in itself will suffice to dis
tinguish the contest from preceding
elections, for the Irish element in the
Empire City Is tainted with the worst
vices of American politics, and its hos
tility to the Democratic candidate
against traditions of the party and of
the race-is certificate of merit that
will draw to Governor Cleveland the
support, without any party distinction,
OF many honest Englishmen.
AJINGO OF THE EXTREME TYPE.
From the London Spectator: Mr..
Blaine's nomination is blow to every
sound English Liberal, and would be
even if he were not so pronounced a
lingo. But then he Is a lingo of the
extreme type. He has always defended
what is in principle a policy of con-
quest. He is believed to hold that the
tina has arrived when the United States
should become the North American Re-
public, should persuade the Canadian
dominion to join it, and should extend
its direct authority down to the Isthmus
OF Panama. He was, moreover, the Sec
rotary who denounced the ClaytOn-Bul-
wer treaty and its principle--the Joint
guardianship of the Panama Canal-up-
the ground that the United States must
control the interoceanic waterway, and
who during the Peruvian war endeavOr-
ed to induce the Spanish-Amerlcan
States to place themselves under the
avOwed prOtectOrate of the American
Government. He claims. in fact, for
the union, under different forms, SOW
ereignty-er at least an effected ac-
knOwledged Observation-Disclosures the
two Americas, adding that the trade Of
states like Peru naturally belongs to the
people of the States and not to those in
Europe. He can hardly wish to conquer
Canada, though he may desire to absorb
it. There is favor Of aggressiveness
and hatuer in all Mr.. Blaines utterances
which is distinctly lingo, and will be
watched by all Englishmen with suspi-
ciOn.
THE IRRECONCILABLE FOE OF GREAT
BRITAIN.
From the London Telegraph: The Re-
publicans have chosen for their Presi-
Dental candidate statesman who glo-
ries in his jealousy Of England; who in
terprsts the Monroe doctrine in sense
its authors never meant it to bear; who
is to some extent "KnOw-nothing" in
the barriers which he would erect
against the "pauper labor of Europe"
and who would fam attract the Irish
vote by posing as the irreconcilable foe
of Great Britain. 1t is natural. there
fore, that upon this side of the Atlantic
we would watch without dspleasure the
result against the white plumed
