THE change which has taken place in
Mr. Blaines mode Of political reasoning,
and the resulting opposition he evinces
TO the Infamous Mckinley bin and to
the Federal Election bill, is creditable to
him and might be advantageous to his
party, and to the country, if effective
Mr. Blaine has heretofore been weakest
with the best, most conservative and
most intelligent portion of his party
This change will make him stronger
with that portion of his
party. Mr. Blaine has been the
leader Of the bitterly partisan the high
protective tariff, the hurrah and the
fuss s-and-feathers elements of his party
He used to lead in the vitupera.ive as.
sanlts against the people of the South as
Reed is leading now. He used to be
found among those advocates of the
high protective tariff which he charac.
terizss now as "Chinese wall" and as
Infamous when expressed In the Nc
Kinley bill. 1t is not strange that
Mr.. Blaine has learned some
thing by his experience IN
the execution OF those laws which he
thinks now are infamous and by associa-
tion with the representatives Of the
South American states, who coald give
him reliable information as to the actual
effects Of our iniquitous tariff laws Mr.
Blaine was never in position to take a
calm view of the situation before. He
has always been candidate and he was
compelled to pay more court TO those
who furnished campaign money than he
pays now. He was never before his own
man. Senator Edmunds charged on the
floor Of the Senate that Mr.. Blaine
worked in the interests Of the corpora
tions 1t Is healthful sign to politics in
general and to Mr. Blaine In particular
that he has thrown of this incubus.
