MR. BLAINE has written second letter en- phatically repeating all that was said in his first, and destroying the hope that he might be induced to accept nomination. He says
 ''If should now, by speech or by silence, by commission or omission, permit my name in any event to come before the convention, ] should incur the reproach of being incandid with those who have always been candid with me.
 Republican victory, the prospects oi which grow brighter every day, can be i'm perilled only by lack of unity in counsel o1 by acrimonious contests over men. The issue of protection is incidentally stronger and greater than any man for it concerns the prosperity of the present and of generations yet to come.
 ''Were it possible for every voter of the re- public to see for himself the condition of recompense of labor in Europa, the party of free trade in the United States would not re- ceiVe the support of one wage worker between the two oceans.
 It may not be directly in our power as philanthropists to elevate the European la- borer, but it will be lasting stigma upon our statemanship if we permit the American la borer to be forced down to the European level. And in the end the reward of labor everywhere will be advanced if we steadily refuse to lower the standard at hOme."
