THE BLAINE 1NFATUATION.

n. Y. Times-Qnd. Rep)
And what signifies in broader sense
this persistent adulation of man who
has no record as genuine statesman,
no character for uprightneSs OF disinter-
eSted patriotism, and whose hold on his
admirers is due to certain reckless
daring, brilliant smartnesS in dealing
with political adyersaries, and pam
dering to p1ejudices and passions in
stead of appealing to convictions and a
sense of right? Such gross infatuation
in a Democrotic republic, such eXalta-
ton of an "uncrowned king" with no
better title to respect than MIR. BLAINE,
has its omnibus aspect. If such things
can be, what might be the consequence if
at some critical time really great
man should arise among us and by his
genius and great services in the crisis
command the well-earned admiration of
the people? What might he not do if
dispose to arrogate power to himself?
No; the people of this country want no
uncroWned kings, no idols of party or
of faction, and this persistent effort to
thrust into prominence and greatness a
man whom the people have refused to
