WASHINGTON, MAY 20, 1888.

Tnr pEc1fNATIoN of Mr.. Blaine TO be can
dldatc was, of course criticised and doubted
and misinterpreted, as everything he does Is,
and yet Il was in stronger terms than George
Washington declined TO be u candidate for,
or rather TO bo elected TO, third term of
the Presidenoy.--[C Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zette.
There is this difference, however,
between the declination of Mr.. Blaine
and that Of General Washington.
The latter was understood as meaning
exactly what it said, and not the con-
trary. 1t is not recorded in any his
tory that the friends of General
Washington, after the announcement
of his determination not to run for
another term, proceeded to lay the
wires for his reelection. There was
no speculation among the politicians
Of the day as to the purport of what
he had written. II was not considered
as capable of any doubtful or double
construction.
Politicians who had opposed his
administration ascribed to him a de-
sire TO continue in the Presidential
office and attributed his Withdrawal
from public life to the uncertainty OF
reelection and fear of defeat, but
none of them ever charged that his
address to the people stated one thing
only to signify another, or that it was
in the nature of feeler for the nomi-
nation or that under certain circum-
stances he could be induced to recon
der, or any of the many things that
have been suggested by the Fare
well Message of Mr.. Blaine.
As to strength of terms, neither
Mr.. Blaine nor President Washington
took the pains to say that if renomi.
mated they would refuse to accept
Washington doubtless thought it un.
necessary to add any such supplement
to his positive and unequivocaI
declaration Of retirement. Mr.. Blaine
probably deems it more expedient To
leave the question of his declinatior
open to qualification. Else he has
been most unjustly criticised ant
doubted and misinterpreted."

war, from its beginning until its ending, never
had n kind word TO speak for Abraham Lincoln
or the great cause he represented. He is n Dem
ocrat who has never to this day. far as any
body has knowledge, spoken unkind word OF
Jefferson Davis or the cause he represented
He was Democrat when Democracy opposed
the issuing of greenbacks, the establishment OF
the national banks an the adoption OF every
other measure intended for the salvation Of the
country. He WAS Democrat when Democracy
opposed specie re- ump ion, favored fiat money
and shameless ropudintion. He was n Democrat
through al the long years of war and blood
and reCons ruction, during which Democracy
meant only Obstinate resistance to the
brilliant events with which American
statesmanship aud American valor have
ever boon crowned. He is a Democrat, in short,
who has stood with his party on the lowest
pianos il has ever touched. He Is Democrat
who is without any part whatever in any of the
glorious achievements of his day and generation.
The Union was saved without him. Our battles
TO death without him. Suffrage was made uni
versal without him. The grand systems of
finance that have made our country the wonder
and The admiration of the world were all con-
ceivod AMI executed without him. Recall, if
you can, the worst days aud the lowest depths
and the most infamous practices Of Democracy.

tered upon his administration. From then until
