A WRONG DIAGNOSIS.

The Chicago Times, in commenting on
the result of the convention, says: "The
republican party has at last applied he
roic treatment to its chrome maiady OF
Blaineism" And adds: The plumed
kaight Is uuhorssd." The Times j. yerg
much off in diaRuo.ing the case. The
reason Blaine vas not nominated was be
cause, and only becauso he absolutely re
fused to accept. The convention, as ev
erybody knows, stood ready to give him
the nomination by aoclamation on the
moment it should hear that he wonld take
it. There was no heroic treatmen: about
it, and nothing that came anywhere near
It, Tho very opposite was trne.
All thai could be done after the mother
was gone was TO save the child, and that
was all that was done. Again, to say that
Blaine was unhorsed is a bad usage of
fact Instead of his being unhOTsed he de-
liberately dismounted, and bowing polite
y to his followers, put an end to his
own and his Party's hopes. That Is the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth. Any attempt to convey the
idea that the party purPos ely defeated
its adored leader, or had anything to
do with defeating his nomination
would be denounced by fully six
hundred OF the delegates who
attended the convention. No, it is non
sense to set up the claim that Blaine
could not have been and would not have
been nominated, bad he giveI the
word. Blaine did it himself; and if any
credit attaches, it belongs to him,
and to nobody else. The DEMO
GRATIS motto IL, give the devil his due"
if l. takes the last cent.

TILE BOSSES nR Tile CONVENTION.


The Chicago Tribune, in the course of
a scatbing editorial on the republican
convention, says:
( .sOf all the banded monopoly forces ar
ravea against Gresham, there was none
more determined than the Pacific rail
road three These rings feared doubt
less with reason) that with Gresham in the
white house il would be difficult to get
through the Littler bill, extending for
eighty years the time for the payment OF
the debt of the Pacific railroads to the
government. With their Thurs.ons aad
| Hamm0nds in ti.e convention, the Pacific
railroads were in a position to do telling
work, and they scored significant sue
cess at the outset when one of their lobby
lists was made temporary chairman of the
convention.

their forces with Gould and the Pacific
railroad agents. Gresham was sps cially
odious to the crooked putocrats and
their agents because of his righteous de
cision in the Wabash case; but when mis-
defeat was accomplished the combine
grew bolder and announced that
mo Granger need apply" Notice was
served that no state which had ever Tn
acted laws for the cnntro! and regulation
of railroad charges need present a candi
date to the convention. Not only

disciplined, and made an example
of because of decision adverse
to crooked railroad interests, but states
were to be castigated for daring to adopt
Granger laws. This vas what defeated
Allison. With his fine record, many
points of availability, and loyal support
from his own state it seemed at one time
that he might succeed to Gresham's
strength and become the nominee; but
the crooked railroad combine turned on
him, also. and blasted him for
the sins of his Iowa constituents.
The people of Io.a refused to be held
up" "s9ndbagged," and robbed by the
railroads, and adopted laws for their own
Hence the railroad combine
in thu convention would not permit
them to name a candidate for president.
