And, for that matter, in size too.
The linton does not question the larger
personal strength of Mr. Blaine as "a
Presidential candidate. but, as we have
said above, to nominate Mr.. Blaine in
the face of his own statement that he
would not be candidate, aud in direct
antagonism TO the man who called him
into his cabinet, would be suicidal for the
party. Moreover, Mr.. Blaine would never
permit such thing TO be done.-Spring-
field Union.
If Blaine is nominated it will be with

The newspaper sensationalists have
kicked up great rumpus between the

The difference between the Mr.. Flower
of 1891 and the Gov. Flower of 1892 was
once expressed by a cynical passengers

rustic admirer of Mr.. Greeley was expa-

Dear heart, there won't be any. Sum-

'Blaine and Rusk" sounds very pretty.
IL would make capital team. Uncle

In the first place Uncle Jerry is no
hayseed, and in the second place Mr..
Blaine hasn't an invalid step and pallid
face; and in the third place the Globe is
right after all. 1t would make "capi-

The Providence News speaks of John
l.. as 1.-THE only Sullivan" This is mis-
take. Newport had two up for Office be-
fore the City Council last night, one of
whom was successful. Newport News.
The Providence NEWS doesn't often
make mistakes, and certainly this was
none. There are many Blaines but only
one Blaine, many Clevelands but only
one Cleveland, many Goulds but only
one Gould, many Sullivans but only one
Sullivan. In whatever a man achieves
pre-eminence, whether it is statesman
ship, magnitude of neck, financial man
agement or pugilism, the honor of being
"the only" is his unquestioned right.
Newport's Sullivans are just plain ordin-

vantage ground Of country with a

One Of the most encouraging facts for
the Blaine men is that the secretary's
wife is said to favor his acceptance OF the
nomination after alI.-9a- this question
Mrs. Blaine is much more important
delegate than the represent tatives of any
of the states of the Union. New Bedford

True, and she ought to be. Mrs
Blaine probably knows better than her
husband whether "a campaign would
kill him." as Democrats are so solicit
ously prophesying.
There is little probability, we may be
sure, that England will really go back TO
tariffs on raw materials and food pro-
ducts. But If il should, where would our
pleasure come in il England should clap

Journal.
Raw cotton is about the last thing
England would think of putting tariff
on; but if she should it may be remarked
that we could then under reciprocity,
push our cotton manufactures SO much
the better in South American markets.
AS for wheat, the market for that must,
under any circumstances, be good for
