L
ever rise to the surface as nominee of
his party again? Is it at all probable
that Blaine will lead the rank and file
of RepubEcanism in 1888? These, of
course, are pertinent and very prema-
ture questions to PROFOUND; yet we do
so from the fact that Blaine has, in the 7
opinion of every rational being, IN
suited to such degree the voting popu-
lation of one of the pivotal States in
Presidential contests, that we must |
conclude he will forever rest as the
. Great Unknown" and be no longer a
factor in politics. AS is known, the |
south is solid, and no fears in the future !
can be entertained for New York and !
New Jersey, and rapid now will be the |
conversions in Indiana; SO on the whole, |
Blaine's imputation upon the voters of |
Indiana has forever shelyed him. He |
will no longer rank rs a formidable
candidate, aud nothing will insure us vic
tory in the future more than the knowl-
edge of Blaine's being the Republicans
choice.
The Irish Republicans imagine them
selves AID their best interests i'm
perilled and ara issuing proclamations
for the formation of league clubs. They
fear free trade and bitterly denOunce it.
They cannot understand wherein the
country's prosperity is concerned and
are 10Th to give up their ideas of pro-
lection. When they will have seen the
exquisite and mechanical workings of
the Executive and Congressional ma
chinery under a free trade President,
| they will be forced to endorse it as
beneficial to US all. Before the war,
times were good, money plentiful, and
everything, breadstuffs and raiment,
cheap. Then, all went ''as merry as a
marriage bell" but for twenty-four
! United States has been greater than
at any other time in our history, and
they imagine that because England
sanctions and smiles with pleasure at
the coming resumption OF free trade that
we Democrats are monarchists. Poor,
deluded set England saw prosperity
through free trade and is enjoying
it. We see the same prosperity through
the same channel and'will enjoy it.
So Irish dissatisfaction, then, arises
from this sole fact-they hate, despise
ignore England; that is we'll known, and
they have ample and justifiable cause
for their hatred. Yet they must not
think that we are emulating English
ways, and that we are in collision with
the mother country at all. No; far
from it. We are striving to make our
country a model republic. We are en-
deavoring to make it an acceptable
home, not only for us who are here at
present, but for all who may come with
desire to live in our midst. We desire
to have the best of laws, and now, after
an absence of quarter OF century
from power, Democracy has declared
that to put the finishing ouch upon our
government we must inaugurate the
free trade system. Such is the conelu-
sion arrived at by our most eminent
statesmen, who have eagerly watched
the many man9uvreS of the old ship OF
state for the past half century, and upon
their opinions then must we permit our
selves to be guided, for we believe there
is truth in the old Latin maxim: " En-
perientid mdgistrd OptimG est.
Soathe traitor, Sam Randall has had
glorious boom in the south. The cities
; which extended him so cordial recep-
ton had previously expressed their de-
sire to only welcome him as an illus
, trious statesman and not in the least at
tach any political motives to his visit.
! But Randall did visit the south for an
express purpose-he desires the Speaker
,, ship again. He wants to GUST Carlisle.
He, nor his colleagues, cannot do it.
Upon the Democratic party rests more
, gravely than ever the reelection OF Mr..
Carlisle. For his continuance in office
; the vote of the south is ever ready to
aid him. Intellectually he is far the
, superior of Randall, and is recognized
as one of the ablest men of any Con-
! gress. Ii Democracy wishes to die, let
Randall he the next Speaker. No! God
{ forbid! And it grieyes US to think that
: two of our most illustIious statesmen
: are not now alive to combat Randall.
