PARAGRAPHIC POINTERS.

-Fire-Alarm Foraker fell outside OF
the breastworks- He finds plenty of
republican company there.-Sioux City
Tribune.
The alarm experienced by Quay
and Dudley over the discovering Of ''a
democratic conspiracy to steal New
York. is somewhat touching, but per-
fectly natural The prospect of a steal
without having hand in it is enough
to disconcert Quay and his friend
Kansas City Star.
The crushing defeat of ex-Gov
Foraker is a fitting rebulSe to a pesti-
lent politician whose noisy clatter
was accepted by enemies of the repub-
GcanS as an assurance of strength
where there was nothing but the as
sumptions of the demagogue and the
wire-puller. Philadelphia Press
Poor Blaine no soon er gets rid of
his undigested breakfast than the pres
ident gets hold of his undigested
papers. Between one thing and
another this greatest living statesman
OF the republican party seems to be
the most uncomfortable man living in
or out of any party.-St- Louis Repab-
lie
IAN honest ballot is the safe
guard of our institutions No public
service can be more patriotic than that
which seeks to establish it. Any
measure properly drawn and not in
conflict with the constitution, which

sible. will receive my hearty ap-

We hope Mr.. Blaine will live
many years, but the best Judgment is
the excitement of a national campaign
would be deadly perilous to one of his
eager nature. His failure to make a
| long promised speech at Boston, fol-
lowed by this sudden illness, may give
| a new turn to republican presidential
speculation and intrigue. Mr.. Harri-
son will be very hard dose to swal-
low. But failing Mr.. Blaine, who
