By no ingenuity Of figuring which does
not ignore the election returns OF the last
four years can it be shown that there is
any likelihood OF Mr.. Blaine carrying this
State The claim that lie can is very much
OF piece with that other assumption OF
per cent. of the vote of his fellow-citizens
in 1884, the charges made against his
character and public record may be re-
garded as dismissed. The last presidential
vote may be cited as "vindication" OF
the Republican party, with some obvious
qualifications, but II can hardly be appeal
ed to rs vindication OF Mr. Blaine. In
this State there was certainly considera-
BILE body Of Republicans who voted for MIR.
Blaine under protest, and who are not
likely to vote for him again. Timid men
will be under no such compulsion as they
were in 1884 TO take counsel OF their fears.
Democracy does not spell ruin" in the
sense that Mr.. Blaine and his advocates on
the stump said It did. Scrupulous men
will find it easier to choose than they did
in 1884 between the present occupant OF
the White Housewife is the only con-
ceivable candidate OF the Democracy--and
the author Of the Mulligan letter. Mr..
Cleveland's bachelor life will furnish no
more campaign material, but Mr.. Blaine
has not ceased to be the representative Of
certain degenerate tendencies Of American
craftsmanship. In the last resort the Re-
publican party in this State must appeal to
a resoute minority of voters who regard
Mr. Blaine with feeling compounded OF
suspicion and dislike. And to these the
party will be less than ii was four years
ago, and the candidates more.
