let passengers get out and pick black
berries along the line" said John Gil

ran across a railroad up in Pennsylvania
the other day that can give the black

road runs between Montrose. in Susque-

they kept bobbing up and down as he

The democratic press cheerfully an
nounce that James q. Blaine is the
only republican to come out of the late
impeasantures unscathed, and that his
sails are the only ones to fit the repub-
lican presidential breeze two years
hence. Mr.. Blaine has undoubtedly
been the foremost statesman in the
United States the past dozen years, and
he stands without peer to-day, but
that does not make him the most elig-
ible man for the presidency. There is
. fatality surrounding some men hard
TO explain. While Mr.. Blaine is a
brilliant politician and has been show
cred with honors, yet the presidency
the highest gift, is not intended for him.
This was thoroughly demonstrated six
wears ago, when after several close at
tempts at nomination, he lead his party
to the only defeat it had known in
twenty five years, and he would not be
a safe nominee in '92. Probably the
democrats feel this, and are anxious the
Standard bearers should be Blaine and
Cleveland. No. thanks!
