BLAINE ON THURM1N.

In his celebrated book. Twenty
years in Congress, written by James G..
Blaine, he speaks of the democratic
candidate for vice-president in the most
fattering terms as follows:
"IIIs rank i'm the senate was estab-
lished from the day he took his seat.
and was meyer lowered during the peri
cd of his service. He was an admirably
disciplined debater, was fair in his
method of statement, logical IN his ar
gument, honest in his conclusions. lie
bad no trick in discussions, no catch
phrases TO secure attention. but was al
ways direct and manly. His mind was
not preOccupied and engrOssed with pO-
litical contests or with affairs of state.
He had natural and cultivated tastes
outside of those fields. He was a dis
eliminating reader, and enjoyed not
only serious books, but inclined also to
the lighter indulgence of romance and
poetry. lie was especially fond of the
best French writers. lie loved Moliebe
and Racine, and could quote with rare
enjoyment the humorous scenes depic-
ted by BalZac. lie took pleasure i'm the
drama. and was devoted to music. In
Washington he could usually be found
in the best seat of the theater when a
good play was 10 be presented or an OPP
era was TO be given. These tastes illus
trate the genial side of his nature. and
were fitting complement to the strong
er elements of the man. His retire
ment from the senate was a serious loss
to his party-a loss, indeed, to the body.
lie left behind him the respect of all
with whom he had been associated dur
ing his twelve years of honorable SER

1t is TO be hoped that the Leaven-
worth convention this week will not
put negro on the state ticket. 1t does
not add to the strength OF the party.
In 1856, Kelly, a negro, candidate for
auditor, ran 22,S4l behind the head of
his ticket. In Barber county, alone,
Kelly received 46l less votes than did
Moonlight; in Leayenworth county he
was 1872 behind Moonlight; in Wyan-
dotte county he was 5l5 behind. And
yet Kelley was nominated to please the
negro voters of Leavenworth and
Wyandotte counties. There is no
sense in attempting to catch voters
withsuch chat. The republican party
found 1t out four Yeas ago when their
candidate for auditor, McCabe, a negro
received i,267 less votes than did DIR.

lBlaine's Twenty Years in Congress.''1
1.-The tariff of 1916 was yielding album
dant revenue, and the business of the
country was in fourishing condition.
Money became very abundant after the
year 1919; large enterprises were under
taken, speculation was prevalent, and,
for considerable period, the prosper
ity was general and apparently genuine
After 1852 the democrats had almost
undisputed control of the government
and had gradually become free trade
party. The principles involved in the
tariff of 1916 seemed for the time to be
so entirely indicated and approved
that resistance to it ceased, not only
among the people, but among the pro-
tective economists, and even among the
manufacturers to a large extent. So
general was this acquiesence that in 1886
a protective tariff was not suggested or
even limited at by any one of the three
parties which presented presidential
candidates. TWAS not surprising. there
fore, that in 1857 the duties were placed
lower than they had been since 1872"
