MIR. QUINCY CAMPBELL ON Blaine.
Mr.. Quincy Adams Campbell, editor Of
the Rellefontaine Republican, who was an
nounced to speak at the Blacks opera house
meeting. has been, and Is probably now,
one of the most enthusiastic friends Of
Blaine in Ohio. Since the publication Of
Mr.. Biaine's letter from Paris to Mr.. White
law Reid, however, Mr.. Campbell has TAX
en- down the Blaine fsg, and In the Issue Of
his paper for June we find column edi-
torial, double -ieadsd, In which he says that
he does not think ''thats nomination should
be forced upon him, under the circum-
stances" We quote from the article as
follows:
Ii is therefore the duty of the party 70
cast about for Its candidate. We should
not defer this till the convention. There
should be . previous selection by popular
Judgment, that the nomination may be
characterized by Q heartiness and enthusi-
asm that will carry with 1t strength and
popularity.
Il will not do TO tender Mr.. Blaine q
nomination, and have him be compelled TO
refuse IL. Ii would be damaging TO the
party and TO the candidate whom we would
then have to nominate.
While Mr.. Blaine is q great man, he is
not the only great leader In the republican
party. We have other men Of great ability
and great popularity-men who deserve
well Of the party. The party IL greater
than Blaine or any other man. and the sue
cess Of the principles for which We battle
Ia immeasurably greater in Importance
than the success Of one or all OF them.
The duty now Ia TO weigh the men from
whom we have to make o selection, and
choose the most popular. They would, any
Of them, make good presidents.
Mr.. Campbell thinks Chauncey NJ. Depew
is the man who will be nominated, and
speaks Of him - follows:
The New York delegation will support
him almost 10 man. The state IL enthusi-
astic for him. Dana, Of the New York
Sun, 10 democrat says he will carry the
state, as against Cleveland. He Is an able
man, . pure man, an eloquent speaker, q
staunch advocate of American labor ard Q
devoted friend Of the Union soldier.
The starting out of the Carnegie Blaine
coaching trip from London, northwerd, Is
described a. follows, in Mr.. George W.
Smalley's letter telegraphed to the New
York Tribune of the sth:
Punctually at II this morning (7th) Mr..
Csrnegis's coach left the door Of the Ho-
tel Metropole for Cluny Castle, 700 miles
toward the North Pole. His party consists
of Mrs. Carnegie, Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine and
their two daughters, Miss Dodge. Mr.. and
Mrs. Phipps, Mr.. Damrosch and DR.. Eaton.
Between 10 and IL O'Clock numbers Of
friends appeared in Mr.. Carnegie's parlor
10 see them off, and some hundreds of
slightly astonished Englishmen and
women formed sidewalk COM
mittse outside. Mr.. Carnegie Is so
Esod general that all prepara-
tions had been completed over night and Re
seemed to have nothing to do but to talk
politics with his friends. Many Americans
were present. Lord Rosebery, Mr.. Gour-
ley, the radical II. P. for Sunderland, and
other Eugllshmen were conversing with
Mr.. Blaine. A bouquet of La France roses
| for Mrs Carnegie and basket of fruit for
Mrs. Blaine were ON the table, both gifts
| from Mr.. and Mrs. Vidtngs, of New York.
Mrs. Carnegie distributed other flowers
among the company.
Just before IL o'clock Lord Rosebery
gave his arm to Mrs. Carnegie, Mrs. Blaine
was escorted by her host, and the whole
| party with their friends went down to the
front door. The police cleared the side
walk. EverybOdy's place on the coach had
been fixed, and the party settled themselves
comfortably; Mr.. and Mrs. Carnegie on the
back seat, and Mr.. Blaine and Mrs. Phipps
on the box next the driver. Tall
! white hats were the rule for the
nen. The coach smsrtly turned out, with
serviceable looking horses, the leaders gray
and sorrel with black bay wheelers; and so
with q sharp turn away they went amid
cheers from the crowd. Mr.. Blaine, like
all the rest of the party, looked well.
The weather was all that could be wished.
Their first night will be spent at Hertford.
On the Fourth OF July they will reach
Cluny- Carnegie Castle, and the stars and
stripes will fioat from this Scottish strong
hold-if 1t be . stronghold.
There has been remarkable development
In the line Of newspaper enterprise In the
United States during the past few years,
and several new papers, at New York,
Chicago and elsewhere, have grown, very
rapidly, into great calculations and wide In
fuence. Still, the venerable Tribune, OF
New York, has not been elipsed In sterling
journalistic qualities, by any of Its contem
porsries. new or old, and 1t is still the frs
and the best newspaper and public journal
