endeavor 10 do what Was Just 10 them

party Of which they were representa-.

selected James q. Blaine as Prosiden-
tial nominee. A few fellows who unsuc-
cessfuliy attempted TO nominate AN.
other man, turned tail and bolted. They
are an invertebrate lot, aud the Reput.
iioan party Ii "better mitoud dem"
We like TO read items like this. from
the Milwaukee Seatiaei "This ia get.
sing serious. A lsh.da-dah young
soraschsr' Of New York has been inter.
viewed. He says some of the Young
s,ratchers, yoa know, may support
Blaine. but IA for himself, yoa may say
am going TO Europe, aud think /
snail remain abroad This Is madden.
ng. These wild Western screamers
who have made Blaine the candidate
can now see one OF the effects of their
persistence. A thin-legged New York
rsformer proposes to carry his little silk
stockings and his alligator-skin satchel
over 10 Paris, leaving this miserable
country 10 struggle aleng or perish.
Thus ends the dream OF great re-
pnblic."

NATIVITY.

There was introduced some weeks age
in the House of Representatives, and
placed upon the calendar, joint reso-
luton proposing the following as Article
XVI. of the United States Constitution /;
1.-THE right of citizens of tue United
States shall not be abridged by the
United States or by any State on 40
count of nativity" This is an attempt
to supplement the Fifteenth Amend
msnt with the word nativity" from
which II was withdrawn during the dis
oussion of its terms at the instance of
Senator Anthony of Rhode Island, who
saw that If the word were included his
State would have to repeal her law,
which prohibits foreign born citizen
from voting unless he owns taxable
property to the amount of $3.50. About
half the male citizens Of Rhode Island
are naturalized foreigners, the most of
whom are deprived of the ballot. The
advocates of the repeal of the law in
Rhode island cite with much force that
among those who are deprived of the
ballot by reason OF their foreign birth,
and lack of the property qualification,
are many OF soldiers who fought bravely
for the Union. The position of Rhode
Island ON this subject received some
attention few years ago in Congress
Senator Anthony has always defended
the discriminating State law on the
ground that the removal of all barriers
TO the polls is perilous to property own
ers and against the public interest.
