s,rd made by publication Of tho "Mal-
ligan letters" will not down.
May and the oregonian said
Ia tho Republican party there ID
profound dread of Blaine a. . candidate.
April 18th, said the 0regonian
From any fair survey Of the field II
becomes apparent that there is no gen
eral demand for Blaine.
May 30th tbs OregOniaa said
There arc many claiming TO be Re
publicAns who have very different use
for President than that Of tho mass
Of the people. We have wondered IL Il
ever occurred 70 the farmers and me
chanios, and merchants on this coast
that they do not naturally want the
same man for President that Charles
Crocker and Claus Spreckles want.
These men do not select . candidate on
the general principles Of patrio.itm. II
Ia business matter with them. They
want President to aid them ia retain
ing the advantages they now havo over
the masses, aud 70 increase these ad-
vantages. They have selected james
q. Blaine AZ their man. He was their
candidate four years ego and was sup
ported by the entire railroad element.
june 2nd, said the OrsgoHiaH
The railroad men and other capital
lists like those We referred to are in
tensly shrewd and astute men. They
have superior means Of intelligence, and
are careful not to make mistakes. They
know Mr. Blaine. Mr.. Huntington, Al
bis famous letter shows, has spent muei
time IN Washington as = lobbyist, ane
he knows whether M,. Blaine Ii good
man for him or not, and Mr.. Spreckle
also knows him. These men have M
iuterets in common with those Of th
common people. They select Peesi
dent on precisely the same principles
that they appoint agents in their bust
ness, and the fact that they have select
ed Mr. Blaine shows that they hav.
confidence that be will promote thei
interests. They would not support hin
II he we've not ga railroad man, and II
league with the corporations"
May 3lst, the Oregonian declares a
follows:
The refusal of the New York Time
to support as candidate for the Presi
dency q man who personally and politi
oally, in Office or out, represents princi
pies and practices which the Times alb
hors, and has counseled its party I,
shun, is worth ysof great and honorable
newspaper.
What are the deductions ?
First-Blaine has motto to th
victor belong the spoils." That is the
only object lac has in seeking the Presi
dency.
Second-He is demagogue, in ever.
aspect of his public and private ckarac
ter.
Third-His foreign policy is likel.
to get the nation into trouble. IL he i
elected, the peace of this country is 0
uncertain tenure.
| Fourth-The Mulligan letters ar
still extant and witnesses Of Blaine'i
corruption.
Fifth-The Republican party ha
reason to dread the nomination an
election of a man like Blaine.
| Sixth-The demand for Blaine doe
not include the best element of th
Republican party or the people.
Seventh-The farmers, merchant
and mechanics do not want Blaine be
cause he is the candidate Of the mono
polistS of this country.
| Eighth-vSuch men as Crocker, Hunt
ington and Spreckies have no interest
in common with the great mass of pet
pie, and they select candidate wh
holds their views of d--u the commo
people.
Ninth-Such monopolists as Sprecl
les, Huntington and Crocker select
candidate for President as they choo
an agent in their business affAirs-or
who will promote their interests. Th,
have selected Blaine.
Tenth-Such mcnopolists would n
support him if he was not "railro'
man."
