Philadelphia Times.
We have good reason to believe that
Mr.. Blaine would have publicly declared
his Interchangeable purpose not TO permit
his name to be used as candidate for
President long since, but for the earnest
desire Of the President and his special
supporters that he should remain silent
on the subject. While Mr. Blaine even
passively assented to the use OF his name,
there could be no concentration upon
any other candidate against President
Harrison, aud In some instances Harrison
leaders masqueraded as Blaine men aud
gently suggested Harrison as second
choice; but recent events In Washington
have evidently decided Blaine to declare
hands of aud Jet every tub stand on its
own bottom.

NEWSPAPER OPINION


Philadelphia Ledger
Although the announcement has been
frequently made that Mr.. Blaine would
not be a candidate for the Republican
nomination for President, the statement
made this morning that Mr.. Blaine had
formally notified Mr. Clarkson, chairman
Of the Republican Committee, to that
effect. is OF the FIRST Importance because
it Is made on authority. 1t should put
an end to the crop Of false reports on
this subj ct that have served 70 keep the
Republican party In a state Of doubt.
Mr.. Blaine having withdrawn. the nom.
nation naturally goes 70 President Harri-
son. 1t Is doubtful whether there is any
man In the Republican party, other than
Mr.. Blaine, who could organize serious
opposition to the denomination OF $
President who has given the country
such creditable administration as Mr.
Harrison.
