Why Blaine Withdrew.

| Those of the Republican newspapers
which were advocating the nomination of
Mr.. Blaine spoke of him in terms of ex-
travagant praise when it became apparent
that his withdrawal as candidate was
| positive and conclusive. They declared
| that there was not another man in the world
who was great or magnanimous enough to
voluntarily give up so great prize as a
Presidential nomination, particularly when
the chances were that he would be elected.
There is no good reason, of course, why
| Mr.. Blaine's friends should not fiatter him a
| little, but they ought to be careful not to
create a false impression. 1t is doubtful if
Mr.. Blame has an admirer who believes
| that he would have withdrawn if he
| thought he could have been elected. His
withdrawal was an admission that a nomi-
nation would be followed by defeat. 1t is
true that i'll his second letter of withdrawal
he said that the prospects for Republican
victory were steadily growing brighter, but
that was long way from expressing conf
dence in the success of his party.
For a dozen years Mr. Blaine worked and
schemed for the Presidency. Every move
he made upon the political chess board had
for its object the capture of that great prize
In 1884 he came very near succeeding. He
could have had the nomination this year.
He knew that very well, but what benefit
would it have been to himl He could not
have been elected. He did not want to 90
through another campaign, which would
have been a heavy drain upon his health
and purse, and which would have ended in
defeat.
In Paris, a day or two ago, as reported in
one of the cablegrams of New York
newspaper, he said that he saw no decline
in Mr.. Cleveland's popularity. In fact, he
regarded it as greater than ever That
opinion explained why he refused to accept
the nomination this year. Mr.. Cleveland
defeated him in 1884, and would have de-
feated him again this year.
Mr.. Blaine is unquestionably the most
popular man in the Republican party. If
he cannot be elected, what chance is there
for less popular man?

Thurman for Vice President.

1t begins to look as if a candidate for
Vice President would be agreed upon before
the st. Louis convention meets. According
to our dispatches this morning, Judge
Thurman will accept the nomination for
that ofiice provided there is no struggle for
1t. He doesn't want it, because he has re-
tired from public life, and is anxious to
spend his remaining years at his home, UNI
disturbed by the cares of Office and free
from the annoyances of political compiled
lions. He is willing to make sacrifices,
however, for his party, and if he can add
to its strength by accepting the second
place upon it, he is ready to do so. Under
the circumstances he is entitled to state
the conditions upon which he will be a
candidate
Undoubtedly he would strengthen the
ticket. He is a statesman of recognized
ability, and his popularity is not confined
to any section of the country. In the West,
! particularly, his nomination would be re-
ceived with great enthusiasm. There are
several States in that section which have
shown large Democratic gains during the
last few years, and there is a fair chance
of carrying one or two of them.
Nothing would help to increase this
chance so much as Judge Thurman's
nomination. In the doubtful States of New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut and In
diana his name would have a powerful in
fluence with the independent voters, and
the party which gets the majority of these
voters may get those States.
No one Of the other candidates mentioned
would add so much strength to the ticket
as Judge Thurman. Gov Gray, of Indiana,
has quarrel with ex-senator Mcdonald,
of that State, and Mcdonald controls fac
ticn that would oppose him. If he were
pectation that he would carry mis- State,
and there is a pretty fair probability that
he could not. Con. nenby, of the same
State, is popular man, but he would not
add much strength TO the ticket.
Gen. Black, Gen. Stevenson, Mr..
Morrison and Postmaster General Dickin-
son are all first-class men, but they have
not so strong a hold upon the popular heart
as Judge Thurman.
The ticket should be Cleveland and Thur
man. No stronger one could be nominated.
With it the Democratic party would have
no reason to fear defeat. 1t would sweep
the country, and be elected by majority
that would insure the Democratic party
control of the government for the next
twenty-five years.

The Rasp on ingalls, Tongue
From the PHILADELPHIA Times

Although Senator Blackburn caused the no.
litical death of Senator Ingalls,, the two Sena-
tors are warm friends.
MIR. Ingalls," said the Senator, sis the
brightest man | ever knew. In debate he is
| like dynamite, but the trouble with him is that
the newspapers have led MIN TO believe that he
is the only man In the country who has a rasp
attached to his tongue. But he has found thet
no man has monopoly of this. A short time

and after that IL was an ex-Confederacy But
he refused to correct himself, although called
his attention to the matter.

Overlooked or Forgotten.

Are great men becoming 50 numerous in
this country that they are no longer of
consequence, and make no impression upon
the great mass of peOples 1t would seem so
from the fact that Gen. Sherman and
| Mayor Hewitt, both of New York, were
neglected or forgotten on the day of the
memorial exercises in that city. The day
was May 81, and the city was full Of
strangers. Thousands asked TO have Gen.
Sherman pointed out to them, and others
! expressed desire to look upon the face of
Mayor Hewitt Neither the General nor
the Mayor was to be seen. 1t seems that
neither was invited.
Gen. Sherman was so out-of sorts about
the matter that he wrote a letter to the
Herald, in which he expressed the opinion
that i'll future it would be much wiser for
the Grand Army of the Republic to cele-
brate Decoration day in the cemeteries
where are the dead whose graves are to be
decorated, than to waste time and money in
street parades for the qualification of those
who took no part in the war, and who made
money while those for the honoring of
whose memory Decoration day was inaug-
urated were risking their lives upon battle
fields OF course there is much truth in what
he says, but it is doubtful if his advice will
be needed. He would not have written
the letter at all probably if he had not
thought he bad been sighted If the
slight were intended, or even if iC were only
the result of oversight, it would have been
much wiser in him to have said nothing
about it. He has never been discreet man.
however, and 1t is not to be expected that
ne will show more discretion in his old age
when he is sighted than he did in his youth.
The fact that Mayor Hewitt should have
been overlooked seems remarkable. His
absence was SO noticeable that the story
got abroad that he was not on good terms
with the President, and did not want to 60
where he was likely to meet him. This
story had no foundation Mr.. Hewitt,
when questioned about the matter, said
that he had no differences with the Presi-
dent whatever, and that the only reason
he did not attend was that he had not been
properly invited. Distinguished men who
don't want to be overlooked on great occa-
sions must ask for what they want like
ordinary folks.

The Florida Ticket and Platform


The Democratic Convention of Florida
nominated good ticket. 1t could hardly
have nominated a better one. The nominees
are not only well known throughout the
State, but are well qualified to discharge
the duties of the offices for which they are
candidates. The party cannot but give them
a very enthusiastic support.
The convention had a good deal of work
to do, and it did it promptly and well.
The reason was that it was composed of
energetic and sincere men, who were
determined to make ticket that
would not be open to attack, and that would
command the confidence and support of
every Democrat in the State. That they
succeeded admirably no one will DENY.
Even those who were disappointed in not
getting the nominations they sought, and
they were men entitled to the respect and
support of their party, will not question
the wisdom of the conventions work.
The Democratic party of Florida can
hardly help winning a notable victory next
fall, and the new administration will be in
harmony with the progressive spirit which
has made Florida what she is-one of the
most prosperous States in the Union. I'm
migration will be encouraged and induce
meuts held out to capital.
The platform is satisfactory, no Demo
crat can complain of it. The demand that
Mr. Cleveland shall be renominated is
positive, and his tariff reform policy is in
dorsed strongly. The Democrats of Florida
cannot be otherwise than satisfied with
their ticket

Tobacco Broke His Heart.
From the Philadelphia Record.

A post norton examination by Dr. Formal
of the body of Police Lieutenont Shields proves
that death was due to heart disease. He died
literally of broken heart" as there was a
hole in that organ into which a lead pencil
would fit. He was an inveterate smoker and
chewer and there is no doubt but that the ex-
cessive use of tobacco contributed to the cause
of death,
