Biainc's Candidacy,

The following Washington telegram of
the 9TH inst. to the SOAK City Journal
would indicate the fact of the Blaine
boom becoming very much weakened,
rather than growing in strength as gen
orally supposed:
Conversations with a number OF rep
resentatives and senators to-day regard
ing the outlook for the nomination at
Chicago, gives n the idea that n al
most unanimous impression exists tnat
the Philadelphia Times article is the
last dying gasp of the Blaine boom,
Politicians who have hitherto beer
friends of Blaine assert that such vacll-
lation as is indicated by the above re-
port is a thing foreign to Blalnes char
acter, and indeed unknown In American
politics. 1t could have no other effect,
If true, than to greatly weaken Mr..
Blaine with his own party. Ihey
plainly assert that they do not belieVe
that MIR. Blaine has in any way author
lied or would countenance such a state
of affairs. The trouble seems TO be that
a large number of Blaine's leading al
herents, taking his letter OF defamation
to be entirely sincere, have pledged
themselves or are giving their support
to other candidates, and that many OF
them are now in positions from whlch
they cannot withdraw. 1t is these men
who would resent bitterly any attempt
on the part of Blaine's friends to bring
him again into the field. The whole
scheme is looked upon AS the work OF Il
few men who, by the use OF Bialnes
name, hope to dictate to q certain ex-
tent the nomination to be made at
Chicago, and secure a certain proper
ton of patronage thereby from any re,
publican who might be nominated ana
elected. The fact is that the east hav,
ING i'm a business-like way determined
to dismiss Mr.. Blaine from It's mind as q
. candidate, is growing a little bit weary
of the whole Blaine business, and, while
it still holds its kindly remembrance
and respect for Mr.. Blaine, it is growing
Disguised with the people who are try
ing to boom him against his expressed
will.

British Postnffice Girls.

In one respect the employment OF
females in the British ~postofiice is acting
in a way not quite foreseen by the depart
mept-namely: In the promotion of mar
riages. Especially has the Central hall'
suffered in this respect, four of its most
valued lady clerks having lately resigned
in order to enter the state matrimonial.
But if the government Is thereby incon-
venienced all the girls in the department
are pleased, for if they do not win the
prize of matrimony they profit in the way
of promotion by the retirement of their
fortunate sisters. st. Louis Republican.

instead Of shouting, a0peu the bookslD

The Oregon Ylsser,.
Portland oregonian.

Porthand oregonian.
By far the moss spirited canvas ever wit.
messed in Oregon terminated In the recent
election. The result Ia the most significant
triumph ever gained BY the republicans in
ths,state.
On all parts of the state the republicans mp
paared ut the polls with extraordinary spirit.
The efforts made by the administrator al
Washington, through its agents and office
holders, TO carry the state stimulated the re-
p%ublicans to unusual activity and exertion.
IL is certain too, that many democrats IN all
parts of the state, condem5liag the policy OF
the administration on the tariff question,
have voted With she republicans. From first
to last in the discussion the democrats have
lost and the republicans have gained.
1t is certain from the result that Oregon Is
o protection state. " may now be accepted
as a fixed fact that protection of the indus.
tries and products of the state, through q
tariff adjusted TO secure them against foreign.
competition, viii be maintained, 80 fur as the
votes Of the people OF Oregon can help to
maintain il.
This vote in Oregon points to D like result
in all the Northern states. The people Of
these states win not, indeed, object to rexi-
sion and reduction of the tariff, provided the
principle OF revision and reduction be Just and
fair; but they will insist that the reduction
shall not be accomplished on any partisan
or sectional scheme, and chat regard shall
always be had for the interests OF the coun-
Try.
The utmost power Of the administration
has been employed to swing Oregon from her
Republican moorings. Not only has the eff
fort failed, but Oregon is more strongly and
firmly Republican than ever before. An an
nouneement that Oregon has gone Democrat
&c will be telegraphed to-day to raise a whoop
In the st. Loqis convention. And tho way Ia
which Oregon has dealt with the administra.
TONS tariff policy is an indication OF the
treatment that both the administration and
it's policy viii receive at tho hands Of many a
state besides Oregon.
