Press Views.

From the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette
(Rep.)
Mr. Blaine does not seem to have antici-
pated contingency quite likely to arise-his
nomination by the spontaneous impulse of
the party, without his consent and notwith-
standing his declination. There is nothing
in his letter to indicate that he would refuse
to accept nomination rendered under such
circumstances.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1888-02-16

Whether his friends will regard the letter
as positive withdrawal remains to be seen
Probably they will say that, while his name
will not again be formally presented to the
convention, he will not refuse to accept a
nomination if the Republican Convention
should with unanimity reach the conclusion
that he ought to be nominated.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1888-02-16

From the Brooklyn Standard Union.
When Mr.. Blaine says that his name will
not be presented to the Chicago convention
he merely expresses an opinion. The ques-
ton of whether his name shall be presented
or not is beyond his control.

| The movement which is on foot in this
city to place the Y. NJ. c. A.. upon a firmer
financial basis, thus enlarging its sphere OF
usefulness and increasing its power to carry
on good works, is in all respects a most
worthy one, and merits the support of our
citizens generally. 1t is safe to say that no
christian organization has accomplished more
good since its foundation thus this originating
in the earnest purpose of a few christian
students in Western college it has in a
comparatively few years assumed more than
national proportions. Comfortable and COM
modious buildings have been erected by it in
all parts, whose pleasant libraries, COM
Portable reading rooms, and well equipped
gymnasums have furnished the means of
keeping many young men from evil associa-
tons, and making of them strong, earnest
members of society. State Secretary Law
renee reports gratifying activity in Maine at
the present time. At meeting in Rockland
Sunday full report of which appeared in our
telegraph columns $500 dollars was pledged
to the association work which on the follow
ing day was increased by additional pledges
to the amount of S400. We hope the work
in this city may be thoroughly successful,
and that the association may soon be able to
secure as secretary some live, energetic
young man in love with his work and possess
ing the ability to push it successfully. new
