But in the midst of all this enthusiasm
for tho man from Maine it must not be in
ferred that the Harrison men are dismayed.

snit of chance. or that Harrison delegates

Blame for the presidency aud Alger for the

III there had been any skepticisms upon
this point 1t was removed tonight by the
distribution of a circular from the Michi-
Blaine and Alger. and reading as follows:
UNDER THE OAKS AT JACKSON.
Fremont AND DAYTON. 1856.
BLAINE AND ALGER, MfNNEAPoLIs, 1892.
The Republican party and the people demand
because lie commands the confidence and adj
mirati0n OF Onr entire population in "a greater
degree than does any other living American to-
day.
Because the cardinal principles OF the Repub-
hcan party, reciprocity" which he originated,
and protection" the unyieliipg champion OF
which he has been Tor more than quarter OF q
century. would be best administered in bis
hands.
Because he believes in the eternal separation
and enforcement of church and schools
Because he can carry all the silver states with
out pledge a doubt.
because lie can bring back TO the Republican
fold the hundreds of thousands OF farmers who
have been drifting from their moorinGs.
Because "A large number OF thoughtful, con-
servatiye Democrats who understand anu appre-
ciate Mr. Blaine's great ideas as reciprocity
ma protection and who most earnestly com
mend and indOrse his views as to the rights and
duties Of American citizenship, will cast their
votes for him this year
Because great majority of the Republican
party believe that ono term In the presidential
chair ia honor enough for any man. and that this
policy should be adhered 10 except in cases OF
great emergency OF national danger, which do
not exist at this time.
Because Mr.. Blaine most keeny realizes the
necessity for the enactment Of legislation and
Judicious enforcement OF laws that will secure
to the enfranchsed colored men of the south
their constitutional right to cast one ballot at
every election and have that ballot honestly
counted.
On the reverse side Of the circular ia
printed In full tho famous speech of Col
Robert G. lngersoll in nominating Blaine
sixteen years ago. This circular was sub b.
mitted to Geperal Alger last night before
he left Detroit" said Colonel Gavotte
''apd il met his approval. That is all car
say as TO General Alger's position-l think
ft is suff cient."
