Life and Times Of s. s. PrentIss.

When II was announced In the

Of the State for integrity and
learning is q part Of its public
property. No man among them Is

the Judges do come up to the re-
quired standard. then he il q mar

upon the admitted prejudice
against the railroad to unsettle
public confidence in the courts.
Once array the people against the
courts as either incompetent or
corrupt and the orderly admins
tration of justice becomes impos-
sible.
The distinct impression sought
to be produced in an article in
the Clarion on supervision was
aud is that as o GENRAL RULE the
courts of the State are either in

comes to a question between a

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2s--A letter from Bar
Harbor, Me, says MIR. Blaine is not in any sense
IN invalid, but those who are close to him well
understand that his physical vigor is greatly and
permanently injured.
II saw him several days since, says the
writer, ''uuder favorable circumstances to judo
OF his physical condition. and he plainly lack Ks
the fire and enthusiasm that once made him the
leader OF leaders in his adopted state. Despite
his efforts to look strong and cheerful there is q
faded expression on his face and visible wear
mess OF labor that tells the story OF the sun
stroke of 1876. While his full mental yigor has
been regaincd and his general health is good,
the attack OF eight years ago left him
with his physical and mental endurance greatly
abated. and thar is what is telling upon him.
lie has wisely abanded his intended appearance
at the Aroostook meetings and it is announced
that he has taken cold. But the fact is that
Blaine is owe rworked and had to take rest or ex-
pose himself TO serious Illness.
In addition to the actual labor performed by
Blaine in the Maine contest, he has been fretted
by the formidable bolt OK leading Republicans In
Massachusetts,, Rock Island and Connecticut,
and especially by the icy colduess that prevails
among the Republicans Of Vermont. The per
.sonal scandals that have been 50 uuwisely pre-

scandals OF the campaign at once when
the Cleveland scandal appeared By
declaring it infamous. aud he in
elined to do SO, bat he hesitated until
it was too late, aud thereby robbed himself Of
much sympathy when he was assailed. The
scandal business Is not s factor in the Maine
election, as the Blaine scandal was twice in the
courts in this state in libel suits a. early 1855
and 1859. and never brought 10 trial. aud Blaine
silence under the Cleveland scandal has pre-
vented Il reaction on either side. Ii i confidently
