Strong Reasons why the Idol Of the Re
publioans should be asked to
* Make the Race.
No Fears Says his Enthusiastic Advocate
About his Election. 4.
The Prodigal MugWump and the Spartan
Stalwart are now Loudest in
bis Acclaim.
In answer to an inquiry as to the
probability and advisability of Blaine's
nomination, Hon. William Henry Eus-
tis, Minnesota's silyer-tongued orator
and staunch admirer Of ! the brainy
Maine man, has furnished the. Review
with the following letter:
In reply to your favor permit to say,
that the Importance Of the Republican
National Convention in Minneapolis to
Northwestern interest and politics can
hardlysbe overestlmated., It turns the
thought of nation, and when the con-
vention shall be held that of a world. to
the great empire yearly increasing its
repown as wheat producing region,
and where the farmers are. more pros
porous than in any other section of the
globe. In every house and Office of the
land the wonderful g1owth and the null
tip]ied advantages OF this vast domain
will be discussed, and many who are
now thinking of changing their abode
will ere long be numbered with our cit
izens. 1t makes the world to know
that in thirty years a mighty commerce
ial center has sprung up IN the valley
of the upper Mississippi, thai is able to
entertain a mighty convention, and
favorably ranks with the other great
commercial cities of the land.
1t will bring the Republicans of the
northwest in close touch with the party
and its principles. The coming of the
great leaders to our homes will kindle
enthusiasm that will light the watch
fires along every valley; the lips of local
leaders will be touched with live coal
from off the alter of freedom, and they
will expound with tongues of fire the
issues of the day. A general revival of
true Republicanism will be had; party
lines reformed, and when the votes are
counted in November, more than our
old-time Republican majorities will be
recorded.
AS to the advisability and probability
of the nomination of Mr.. Blaine, there
can be and there is but one answer -
will be accept it?
Now that Mr.. Blaine has returned to
Washington and entered with alacrity
upon the discharge of the ardous duties
of Secretary of State. it is apparent that
his health is not sufficiently impaired
to prevent his acceptance. While those
who have recently seen him, and heard
his own declaration, that though
not as robust as ten years ago, yet every
physical organ preforms it's proper func'
ton and is unimpaired, know that his
health will notinterfere with his accep.
tance. No American during his lifetime
ever.enjoyed the present popularity OF
of Mr. Blaine. To-day all factions
within the Republican party are lost IN
one common admiration of the man
The prodigal mugwump and the Spar
tan Stalwart are now loudest in his &C
claim. #... -
This popularity passes beyond party
lines to the extent at least of a million
votes. His nomination would mean {
united party and demoralized enemy
Heretofore, some conscientiously op
posed him. To-day in the light of hi
administration of the State department
they frankly admit they misjudged him
He has a record in foreign policy an

His name everywhere awakens enthusi
asm, and creates inspiration.
