The Radical Ticket.


1t nominated. JAMES G. BLAINE,
Of Maine, for President, and JOIN
a. LOGAN, OF Illinois, Tor vice Presi-
dent.
The ticket is considered very
weak one as BLAINE is extremely
unpopular among a very large
number Of TIE acknowledged leaders
and il huentisi men of his party,
They rsguard the nominations the
result OF a snameless political bar
gain between BLAINE and LOGAN
AID are free 10 assert their inten-
tons 10 bolt the ticket.
BLAINE stands before the people
arrslgned toy his own party as a cor
ruptionist in legis alton and dem
agogue in politics. Neither he nor
LOGAN can lay any claims to honest
principles Of reform, for both belong
to that class kn1wn as Republican
machine corruptionists who have
alwsys been huDgering and thirsting
aftsr the spolls Of Office.
Many Of the leading Republican
and Independent papers Of The couu.
try denounce BLAINE as a reckless,
corrupt, and dangerous mar, and will
lend him no support IN tho comlnL
campaign. Below we give few
extracts which, we hope our readers
will observe carefully 40 they are
standard Republican authority, and
show BLAINE s standing in his own
party.
The New York Times, nne of the
leading Republican papers of the
country says:

The Springfield RrpubIican, an
OF her leading and Influential Re

Convention:
These nominations are revolution

The New York Truth has this to
say
The Republican party has been
guilty of a stupendous blunder in
dominating James G. Blame. The
outlook is not promising for the
party which now seems willing 10
sacrifice itself for man whom it
had twice before condemned.
The Boston Advertiser, one oil
largest circulated and most 10 fluen-
tisl Republican papers III New Eng
land, closes an editorial on the nom
nations, thus.
With undated devotion to the
great purposes for which the Repub-
Iican party was organized and has
been maintained, we declare our n
