"Ot Mr.. James q. Blaine, or OF my
distinguished competitor, Gen. Beaver,

spectful. But ] think ! may profit

the cheap and thallow devices which
failed to save Blaire himself, will GER

Blaine and the Name gaog here at an
enormous expeDfe to the mon p lly

Simply becsus Beaver Is OyerWhelm-

won't do. Mr.. Blaite can't elect in
Pennsylvania the man he treachsr-
ously did his level best to d 'leat four
years ago. Suppose when the riot

Pennsylvania justice fairly melted out
to these convlcts would deprive him
| OF nomination to the Presidency,
would the Court have paid any aiten-
tion to him? Will the people who
ere now abou; to pats a similar judg-
ment concerning their own donts ic
sfrdirs give any heed to him? Nest
certainly not. The man who lent
what ieoble aid be could to help on
j the tide which swept out B'aver,
Ouay, Kemble, Cameron and Cooper
in 1882, and Whosl hands are, in the
political sense, dripping with tbs
blood Of Foleer, will not maize vote
for Beaver in 1856. The bargain
had better never have been made.
Toe moropoliss might better have
taved their moaey or employed it in
another Belshazz II feast. The hour
has struck for them. The indie
pendent home iulers OF Pennsylvania,
ieeking the perpetua!ion of honest
StUe government, will not restore the
i6f,mous rule of the State ring TO
oblige the man from Maine, however
great NAV be either their necsssi les
