JAMES q. BLAINE.

II is unlikely that the name of James
G. Blame will ever be presented to an
other National Convention. Blaine has
been for years the best beloved man in
the country. Yet his defeat was signal.
His forces were routed foot and horse.
Why?
1t appears to the News that Harrison
received the nomination for reason
that made il imperative for it to go to
him the body of the people wanted him.
The delegates were close to their con-
stituents and were governed in large
measure by the kilograms that poured
in upon them. The nation loves Blaine,
but it demanded Harrison and why?
In part without doubt because it was
not satisfied as TO Mr.. Blaine's health.
Mainly by reason of the Clarkson letter.
Mr.. Blaine declined to be candidate.
Many Of his lifelong supporters pledged
themselves otherwise. When the move
ment for his nomination came the men
who had been his standard-bearers were,
many of them, bound by honor. They
loved him, they love him still, but they
were not in position to support him.
Mr. Blaine -has- suffered no personal
defeat. On the contrary, the tribute
paid him by the tremendous demonstra-
tions Of the convention yesterday was as
such as has seldom fallen to the LOT Of a
human being. lie made no move to Sc.
cure the nomination. He did not lie
sire it. The friends who were free to

Delicate Sarcasm.

The New York Sun, always sparkling,
has seldom said funnier thing than 1t
said yesterday in allusion to Hills 'own
tremendous exertions, put forth for Mr..
Cleveland's election" in 1888. OF course
half of the humor consists in the SEEM
ing seriousness with which this choice
bit is worked into grave historical re-
view of modern national politics. Mac
aulay's description of Dean Swift applies
well to Mr.. Dana, when in one of the
most irresistible Of the distinguished
editors many droll moods, "Tlfe dean
of st. Patrick's threw double portion
Of severity into his countenance while
laughing inwardly." Boston Adver-
fiser

A Democratic Prophecy.

II the desperation of the old Cleveland
Office holders should drive the Democracy
to the insanity of nominating Grover
Cleveland, there would be a general
American uprising against free trade,
against third term, against perpetual
candidacy, against political disorganiza-
ton, against anti-Democracy, such as
would make the country one vast theater
for the national re-enactment Of the Fol-
ger campaign Of 1SS2.-New Yoxk Sun.

The Maine delegates, the NEWS CORES
pondent at Minneapolis writes, had half
a car load of Poland spring water with
them. Two reasons are assigned for
bringing it. in the first place the mem
bers OF the delegation were afraid to
drink Mississippi water. AS matter Of
fact it is, although rather unpleasant. by
no means SO dangerous TO monkey with
as the far from limpid Pawtuxet. as 1t
contains no contamination but straight
mud.
The other reason is alleged to be that
the Maine spring water might inspire in
others the Blaine enthusiasm that burns
in the bosoms Of the men from the Pine
Tree State. In this respect the result is
rather disappointing as Maine is one of
the few cold water States on the list and
spring water brought 1,5OO miles isn't
even cold.

THAT typical American statesman,
James q. Blaine, voices once more the
sentiments of his party and rises above
all personal considerations. "All minor
differences" said he to the Republican
party last night, "should be forgotten
in the duty of every Republican to do
all in his power to elect the ticket this
day nominated by the National Republi-
can Convention" That is the utterance
of Mr.. Blaine, the man, and it is as
magnanimous as it is natural. The peo-
pie expected Mr.. Blaine to do this and
their expectations were entirely fulfilled.

THE MAJORITY PARTY.

The New York Sun says that since
1872 the Republican party has been
continuously and increasingly in a
numerical minority. IL sweetens this
bitter and sensational news with some
sugared compliments about Republican
ism's splendid fighting power, but in
spite of the kind consideration thus ex-
tended. the News is compelled to chal-
lenge its figures.
Take the last presidential election for
example. Is it true, rs so fauntingly
claimed, that Cleveland had a plurality
of the popular vote? Emphatically no.
Does there exist i'm flesh and blood a
single Northern Democrat who would
make the assertion that the full vote of
the Republicans in the South was al
lowed to be cast, and was honestly
counted? Certainly no Southern Demo
crat would make any bones of admit
ting that the vote of Texas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
South Carolina and Arkansas does not
in any degree represent the will of a
majority of the citizens of those States
legally entitled TO vote.

Cruel, Very Cruel.

Colonel Watterson sadly admits, after
sizing up the Democratic situation, that
he is tired. But he doesn't cease his ex-
ertions on that account-far from it.
Like the motherly old hen that hatched
the ducklings, he still stands on the
banks Of the political goose pond and
clucks frantically, while the fiat heads
and rudimentary tails Of his brood def
antly change their relative positions
every few moments. IT is cruel to trife

IT is pretty generally understood that
the city fathers are responsible for the
preservation of law and order, but until
very recently 1t has never been thought
necessary that any one Of our urban
lawmakers should be so jealous in his
imaginary enforcement of the law and
HIS insistence on the sacredness of his
person as to make himself seriously OBJ
jectionable, and require his forcible
election from places of public amuse-
ment.

THEY NEED LEGAL TREATMENT.

THEY NEED LEGAL TREATMENT.
The fatal injuries which Wilkins Rus
tin received at Yale College while being
initiated into the d. X. Z. Society
should brand the participants as crimi-
mails, but the laxity of college rules will
possibly allow these young men to es-
cape the punishment they SO richly de-
serve.
The serious thought which must occur
to everyone is the too frequent occur
renee of just such accidents as this
within the past few years, and the fact
that thus far some Of our college au-
thorities have been unable to suppress
such class of inhuman acts among
students. The only successful method
found is to prohibit the formation of
secret societies, and the citizens at large
will soon be compelled to insist on the
adoption of that rule in every college if
they wish to feel sure that their children
are to be exempt from danger, while os-
tensibly seeking the benefits of higher
education.
The plea of thoughtfulness or the
carelessness of youth is not applicable to
the case in hand. College men average
above 1S years of age and if at that time
that have not shown themselves to be
superior to animals whose vices they
surpass they should be made to suffer
the extreme penalty of the law. A few
examples of the application of the proper
punishment would have good effect.

BENJAMIN HARRISON.

The seal of approval set by the Re-
publican National Convention upon the
administration Of President Harrison is
firm, clear and emphatic. 1t is more
than deserved. Benjamin Harrison is
one OF the ablest of Americas long line
of statesmen. In the executive Office
he has shown himself well-balanced,
efficient, farsighted, wisely progressive
and of unchallenged integrity. He has
won the confidence Of the nation. The
great conservative forces Of the country
respect and trust him. They gave him
their support in the convention and he
will have it at the polls. On every i'm
portant issue of the day the people know
where he stands.
Harrison's record is his platform and
it is one on which his party is proud to
stand with him. The convention offered
a merited tribute to him in this respect
when it took the most important SEN
tence in the currency plank of its plat
form verbatim from speech on silver
delivered by the President last year.
His attitude towards the tariff is as un-
mistakable. He is an open and coura-
geous advocate of a free ballot. He is
the friend of the American navy and the
American merchant marine.
He has stood the test of three years in
the public's eye, and has carrie d himself
with dignity and self-command. In
critical moments the country has learned
to admire his cool head and quiet firm
ness. We know him for well-rounded
and well equipped American. With
strong convictions he is never indiscreet
and as q candidate he has an immense
advantage in his singular gift of tactful
speech-making.
He will have the united support of the
Republican party. He will remain in
the White House yet another fonr years.
