What Can Massachusetts Do !?

From the Boston Transcript.
The first impulse of those who hate
with deep and righteous loathiDg
the shameless cant, selfishness and
trickery of such politics as triumph
ed yesterday, after third attempt on
the presidency, will be to wash their
hands of politics and abandon in dis
pair all effort to stem the moral de-
generation evidenced in the nomina-
ton of a man like Blaine by the re-
publican party. But this is obvious
ly impossible under republican gov
eminent. SO long as a man lives in
this country, he is in for it with the
rest; he cannot escape the taxes and
the laws enacted by the triumphant
faction. Messrs. Blaine, Reid, Phelps
| g. Co., stand for increase of the war
| tariff, taxing the necessities of life
| to all for the profit of a few;
Logan has gone further than any
prominent politician in the piling up
of our enormous pension burdens for
political capital. No citizen, however
disdainful of politics he may be. can
free himself from the politics of these
| leaders. They and their supporters
have definite objects and substantial
game in view. They are not hindered
by despairing wringing of hands and
ordinations of disgust or contemps,
Wherever they have majority they
mend business. Those who Oppose
them must be equally practical.
