CUNNING Mr.. BLAINE.
Tho Latest Move of tho Ambitious IN
Tricky Man from Maine.

The Latest Move of the Ambitious an1
Tricky Man from Maine.
A dispatch from New York to the
Philadelphia Times. makes prominent
the announcement in capital letters
that assurance has been received from
Mr.. Blaine that he will run if nomi-
mated, and that in consequence of this
assurance an immediate aggressive
Blaine campaign will begin.
Undue Importance is attached, we
believe, to state of affairs that the
most casual observer of political events
has all along believed to have existed.
MIR. Blaine began coqueting with the
Presidential nomination for the fourth
time on the day that Grover Cleveland
took his seat in the White House on
March A, 1885, and he has kept the
coquetry ever since.
His cunning coyness reached ckr
max when he wrote his famous letter
of withdrawal from Florence, and put
his friends in the position of being
compelled to admit that they didn't
know whether he meant what he said
or not Then he blew hot and cold in
his shrewd avoidance of making fat
footed declaration, and in the contra
dictory reports that were being sent
out concerning his health.
1t can not be denied that thousands
of his followers and many Of his oppo-
nents have been deceived, but these
are the people who have not closely
studied the man and his methods.
Mr.. Blaine is keen politician, and
has learned from long practice just the
best time to seize an opportunity. II
the present announcement prove cor
rect-and there is but little reason to
doubt it-time will show that the am
bition of the Man from Maine has
never been discouraged for moment.
and that the pretended retirement
from politics, the trip abroad, and the
great letter that took up much space
and said nothing, were simply part
and parcel of the general plan which
is now assuming shape.
What Mr.. Blaine doesn't know about
the tricks of politics is hardly worth
knowing. IN Y. Graphic.

DON'T GET EXCITED.
The Colored Vote Of the South and North

Tho Colored Vote OF tho Gouth and North

The Republicans Of Massachusetts

ments of the radical ime gination. to
show that the Democratic party is s'the
foe of honest election amid the pot
pourrs being the assertion Of shame
full crime against the ballot in the
South, which has been freshly illus
trated in Louisiana. Republicans
everywhere. and Of course therefore
those of the Bay State, may be to some
extent excused for the soreness Of their
feeling over the result of the election
here. They were so completely

expected cataclysm. they do not fore
see possibility of making any head

these circumstances Of disappointment

telligible. They will yet learn what
we keep impressing upon them-that
the colored vote of Louisiana at least,
is not a solid Republican vote, nor
any where nearly approaching to it.
Thousands of negroes. both in tho
| city of New Orleans and in tho
parishes of the State, voted the straight
Democratic ticket from no corrupt
| motive, and without shadow Of COM
pulsion or intimidation. And the rea-
| son is simple enough. The leaders Of
Louisiana Republicanism. in the light
of their antecedents when hey were
in power here, do not inspire them
with confidence. Plain, everyday
justice had no manner of show in this
State, under Republican Administers
tons, whether for white man or
colored man; and this is fact which
recurs to the memory of the colored
voter with considerable force. when he
has once got rid of the idea Of harm
intended to him by the Democracy
which the Republican self-seeker sedul-
ously impressed him with. 1t is un.
necessary, therefore, for the radicals
North to put themselves out of the way
to invent fraud or intimidation at the
polls in order to account for the enor-
nous majority by which the Demo-
cratic ticket was carried here; the vote
was an honest vote, whose sign ificance
is that the political views and the af-
filiations of the negro have undergone
and are undergoing an unmistakable
change.-M O. Star.

Fraudulent Pension Claims.

The Presidents veto of the bill for
the relief of the army paymaster who
went off to eat pie, and, leaving I'M
guarded the Government money in
his charge, allowed it to be stolen, is
a characteristic document full Of the
Cleveland simplicity, candor and hon.
esty. MIR. Cleveland is right in not
considering such matters too small
for discussion by the President of the
United States. Contempt of small
things had brought the Government
service to dangerous condition. It
had weakened the sense of duty SER
wants of the people in appointive and
elective offices ought to feel in every
official action, small or great. There
is no detail of carelessness or of at
tempted fraud that Mr.. Cleveland
thinks too small for the attention of a
President sworn to uphold the consti-
tuition and the laws made in accord
ance with it. When such questions
present themselves to him he presents
them to 1.-THE plain. common people !"
in forming his conclusion, and pre-
sents them in such a way that they
can not be misunderstood except by
partisans determined to misinterpret
them. He conceals no fact that has
come to knowledge. The care he
takes to state every fact bearing on
any given case gives his vetoes and
other State papers a strength of their
own nowhere equalled in the State
papers OF his predecessors. No Presi-
dent before him ever relied so little on
rhetoric; not one of them ever relied
SO much on plain statement Of plain
facts. Louis Republican.

MISCELLANEOUS.

The heavy snow storms which prevailed
throughout the country for the past week have
greatly affected railroad traffic On nearly all
the roads trains are running behind schedule
time and in many places have been blockaded
entirely by the heavy drifts. In the West the
suffering has been intense, and the list of those
frozen to death is growing daily. Some Of the
towns have been completely cut off from COM
munication with the rest of the world, and
their fuel all being exhausted the inhabitants
are in a terrible position. Travel on the diff
ferent roads is being gradually resumed.
