AFTER BLAINE, WHO?

Sheridan. Little Phil" can combine
within himself more elements of political
strength than any man within the re-
publican party, and can be elected by
majority which will require no micro
scopic figuring to discover. Not a state
north ofMason and Dixon's line would
withhold its electoral vote from him, and
already his name is most frequently
mentioned. He has record which will
bear the closest scrutiny and with him
the republican party would wage an
aggressive warfare such as he was &C
customed to wage quarter of century
ago. The commander, whose personal
presence was worth division of soldiers,
who could wrest victory from defeat by
the wave of his hand, is the one to mar
shall the forces for civil victory as bril-
liant as that military one in the valley of
the Shenandoah, which electrified the
nation. Agreat general, but is he qualified
for civil life-is he fitted for president? Let
the democratic organ of New York, the
World, bear testimony. In recent editor
al it says:
The trouble with Phil Sheridan as a
presidential candidate, from democratic
point of view, is that he is something
more than "the man on horseback" No
man would be a formidable candidate
before the people upon his renown as a
soldier alone, nearly quarter of CEN
fury after the close of the war in which
his fame was won. But Gen. Sheridan,
as those who have enjoyed the pleasure
Of conversation with him know, is not
only fine soldier, but a man of remark
able executive capacity and one of the
best informed of Americans. He knows
this country as very few, even of our pro-
fessional statesmen know it, from per-
sonal observation and experience. He
has Travelled all over it. He has the
broad education that cnmes from an &C
tive part in great events, and an acquaint-
ance with the leading men of the country.
He has likewise Travelled abroad and
proved himself most shrewd and intel
ligent observer of foreign systems and
institutions. Sheridan afoot, or as a
soldier-citizen, is to-day one ofthe strong
est and best equipped men in the Union.

the storm which ragged so violently dur

by the A and B grades, Rotations by all.
and singing by the c, D, and E grades,
constituted the programme. A paper

BLAINE'S LETTER.

Elsewhere is printed one of the most
important contributions to political lit
erature which has been made public dur
ing the last decade-the unqualified with
drawal of Hon. James G. Blaine from the
presidentialcandidacy. 1t is a document
which will be read with emotions vary
ing from the deepest regret to unqualified
exultation within the republican party,
and withconsternation by the democrats
who believed his candidacy an assured
fact, with results identical with those of
1886. The letter contains two lines of
explanation of this most important de-
termination, which are as digni6ed as
they are conclusive: ~ am constrained
to this decision by considerations entirely
personal to myself" and volume of
encouragement to the party whose lead
ership he voluntarily relinquishes. What
those considerations are matters not,
and it would be the height ofimpertinence
and bad taste to speculate relative to
them. When Mr.. Blaine sees fit to make
them public, and not till then, will it be
becoming to pass upon their suficiency.
This letter, which falls like a bomb
within political circles, is most con.
vincing refutation of one of the charges
brought against the plumed knight, that
his personal ambition is the controlling
trait of his character. That he might
have had the republican nomination had
he desired it, scarcely admits of doubt
That he could have wrested the glitter
ing prize from the fortunate accidency
who now holds it by a majority sc
minute, is the firm belief of tens of thou
sands of his friends and as many more
of his enemies. In the face of these con
siderations this act of selfsacrifce i
heroic. Few men could rise to it. What
ever other effect may result it has elevated
Mr.. Blaine to aposition which challenge
the admiration of his party. He i
stronger to-day than ever, and his in
fluence in the coming campaign vii
overshadow that of any man in tn
nation. His letter is campaign docu
ment of unlimited power. Every repub
lican should read it more than once
once will be enough for the average dem
Ocrat.

SOUND DOCTRINE.

At the risk of mourning the disapproval
of the writer fit, the HERALD gives lib
eral extracts from personal letter writ
ten by one of the wide-awake young
republicans of Hennepin county. Our
excuse for publishing it is that it is full
of solid republican doctrine, peculiarly
timely. 1t reads:
am satisfied from personal observation
throughout the state, that our party
must take manly stand this fall, or the
jig is up. The farmer element will no
longer stand the patent insides" plat
forms prepared for them by political
bosses. In fact we are gradually drift
ing into the democratic style of doing
business, viz: promise everything and
perform nothing. 1t is said that the
younger element in our party should
OF be given too much power-the claim
| cling made that they have not had as
much experience, and have not as much
at stake as the old "war horses" Ny
own opinion is that man is entirely
disqualified to act impartially where his
own interests are at stake; and as to
knowing the wants of the people, it does
seem that the younger men who are con-
stantly circulating over the country, are
better qualified than the bloated bond
holder, who spends his time in clipping
off cupons or signing checks. 1t must
not be forgotten that the old men of the
party are, to a certain extent, its back
bone, but they cannot live always, and
there is no better time to break in young
men than the present. guarantee, that
if the young men of this state take hold
of the campaign and are allowed to run
it, the result this fall will be very different
from what it was the last election. Keep
on with your good work. You are right,
and knowing that you are bound to sue
coed, make it point to walk up the
back" of every political clique that forms
in the state; they are always against the
people, and whatever tends to Cypress is
detrimental, not only to our party, but
to the state at large.

H. H. WARNER of Rochester, N. Y.,who
expends handsome fortune every year
in advertising his safe remedies, says
that he finds the most valuable mediums
are country weekly papers. He says he
has made the subject study and is
thoroughly convinced that subscribers to
such papers not only read every line OF
advertising matter, but bestow their
patronage upon the advertisers who use
their columns. And yet there are mer.
chants and business men whose expen-
ditures for advertising are small, who
think newspaper advertising is not read
and therefore does not pay.

Vaughn's seed store for 1888 is just at

it excels anything in this line we have
ever seen, both in its exceedingly beauti-
full gold and colored cover, and in its
readable print and handsome wood en-
cravings. 1t should be in the hands of
