BLAINE's DUPLICITY.

beloved of the Peopler' So reads
the latest alluring inscription on the far
ing canvas of the BLAINE side-shOw.
How much better beloved now than i'll
1884? How much better beloved for
reason of tirese recent friends he has
made, MesSrs. Quay, PLATT, FORAKER
and their ilk? Or do these latter base
this inscription on the modest aSspmp-
ton that they are The People9
As a matter of logic, and which will
become a matter of history in case
BLAINE be nominated. the statesman
from Maine is positively weaker with
the people today than he was in 1884,
and superlatlveIy weaker than he was
a few months ago. Conceding that Mr.
BLAINE had made some gain in popular
favor since the close of the campaign of
1881, and previous to the beginning of the
campaign for nomination this year, it
has been more than wiped out by the
gross duplicity of his recent attitude.
He has disgusted the country by the
bald deeeitfulness wherewith, ''whis-
pering ne could ne'er consent" ne has
not only consented for himself. but has
set his friends to work to pull down
BENJAMIN HARRISON whether they are
able to raise JAMES G. BLAINE in his
place or not. This, treachery is the
more calculated to arouse sympathy for
MIR. HARRISON and disgust at his ex-
secretary of state, for the reason that it
was utterly unnecessary to the accom-
plishment of any purpose other than
the humiliation of the president. Had
Mr.. BLAINE declared himself candi-
date at the outset, or had he even given
the assent of silence, President HARRI-
son could have retired from the field
with good grace and unimpaired dig
nifty; but as it is now. the president is
compelled to draw open and desperate
conclusions with his late subordinate,
and his dignity suffers all irremediable
hurt, no matter which way the battle
goes.
Americans, irrespective of politics,
are lovers of fair play. Mr.. BLAINE's
duplieity may prevail to the extent of
securing for him the nomination; but, if
so, election day will bring upon this
beloved of the people" visitation of
something not at all resembling popu-
lar alteration.

POSTAL EXTENSION.

The postal department has been the
past year experimenting at few points
with the extension of the free delivery
system to the country. Unless congress
renews the appropriations, this will
cease with the present month. There
have not been protracted and complete
tests extending to the farm districts in
any considerable way. but, so far as
any have been made, they are reported
as extremely encouraging to the event
uaI success of the system in the rural
districts. The postmaster general has
asked for an appropriation to expert
ment outside of the villages with, and
it is to be hoped it will be granted. The
work is TO be pushed conservatiyely,
first to the country towns, then to the
more populeus farming districts, and tbs
hoped eventually to reach all in reason
able limits. The experiments SO far in
the rural towns indicate that the postal
business so increases as to promise to
reduce the added expense to small pro-
portions. In one town reported the
business has doubled the past year. 1t
is not wise to be too conservative in this
matter. The problem has been worked
out in other countries. The conditions
are not so dissimilar as to require pro-
tracted tests. There should be such ap-

THE DAKOTA ORATOR.

The North Dakota man does not be-
lieve in hiding his candle under
bushel. or letting his state speak for
him alone, as DEPEw suggests his own
state is able to do. One of the most
stirring features of the Dakota exhibit
at Minneapolis is the stairway and side
walk oratory of Col. PLUMMER. the. Bo-
anerges of the state. He is SonorOuS and
voluble, and always talks to fire the
heart of the crowd. He suggests in
way the cloudbursts so frequent of late,
except that no disaster ever follows his
verbal deluge. Some are surprised that
he appears on the BLAINE side. When
ever a crowd gathers to blow for

Still, he is a federal officeholder. He
holds down a land Office at Minot,
but the revenues coming his way are
small, and HANSBBoUGH,w who dispensed
the patronage, has dropped on the
BLAINE side. The land Office also has
nearly a full term to run, and the
chances could be taken of holding the
term out. He has all eye to business,

fessional stump speaker, and the presi-
Dental campaigns are his harvest. He
is open to engagements, whoever is the
nominee. Those who miss hearing him
at Minneapolis lose one of the features
of the exhibit.

CORRESPONDENT PLATT.

In his capacity as special correspond
ent of the New York World, THOMAS
c. PLATr is not conspicuous instance
of the catholicity which is supposed to
distinguish journalism-up-to-date. One
the contrary, Mr.. PLATT, instead OF
taking the full measure OF news, good
and bad. just as it comes, cuts out of it
only such meager portion as accords
with his personal views and aims. lie
cuts it decidedly on the bias, and fre-
quently out of the whole cloth. Instead
of leaving rainbow chasing for the eds
itorial page, lie gives it precedence in
his correspondence over such scoop
features as the fact that Minneapolis
pork and beans are sadly indigesGble.
He says, for instance, that ''any other
result than Mir. BI.AINE's nomination
on the first ballot is too improbable to
be worth discussing" and so he con-
fines himself strictly to pleasing word
picture of this only possible result in
ten different poses. He does, however,
refer to Mr.. HARRISON in an incidental
and casual way, TO the effect that his
supporters are mostly Officeholders: and
in this reference Mr.. PLATT, with
touching artlessness, sounds the key
note of the situation so far as concerns
himself. The presidents supporters are
officeholders. Mr.. PLATT is not an
Offieeholder. See? p.

THE oNE-rERM SCHEME.

1t is not judicious time for the one
term advocates to come to the front
with their limitations. In fact, the
opportunities for presenting that
change without tinge of personal
coIoring to it are infrequent. Those
who have come to Minneapolis to ask
the platform writers to put in paIa-
graph favOring one term only, perhaps
extended to six years, are met by the
plausible charge that it is unfriendly to
the incumbent and designed to dispar-
age his candidacy. When the PROPOSE
ton is taken to Chicago lit
tie later, it will meet the fact
that a great portion of the con-
vention is committed to a second term
for the Democrat who was a6le TO de-
feat the idol of the Republican party in
the height of his popularity and fame.
1t would lie a wearisome task to 90 back
and find president who did not want
a second term. HAYES is sometimes
quoted as an exception, but he had
sense enough to see that it would be
hopeless aspiration, and the dubiou
method of getting him into the White
house made it too uncomfortable for
any rational desire to remain. 1t is
not uncommon for president at the be-
ginning of his term to feel certain that
the bee in his bonnet will have
no disposition to buzz at the
end of the term. This proves to be a
mistake, and soon there is an inclina-
ton to assist Providence in making the
path of duty lead back to the White
house. An Endorsement of the admins
tration has a very captivating sound.
A conception of personal magnitude in
relation to the proportions Of the aver
age statesman has passed generous stages
of evolution. 1t is seen that the inter-
ests of the country require second
term. The president, as rule. discov-
ers this fact early in his official life, and
there is more or less effert to shape
things to promote that end. 1t is not
necessary to make any proelama-
ton on the subject. 1t is under
stood that the president would have
another four years, aud the subordi-
mates who have profted by his incum-

FOR BREACH OF PROMISE.
A Peculiar Suit Brought Against
manufacturer Paige.

CHICAGO. June "a suit for breach
of promise of marriage and 5000 has
just been instituted in the superior
court by Mrs. Jessie Hall, former ac-
tresS, whose stage name was Dorothea
Lewis, against James W. Paige, man.
ufacturer of Hartford, Conn. Most SEN
sational charges are made. 1t was de-
veloped that Mrs. Hall had been in
justice court a few days ago on charge
of Illegally living with Edwin NJ. Grant
as his wife. On the 31st day OF May
Steven Rogers, of Hartford, Conn.,,
swore out warrant in Justice Whites
court for the arrest of Jessie NJ. Hall
and Edwin NJ. Grant, charging them with
living together as man and wife with
out having gone through the formality
of a marriage. The parties were arrest
ed, and on the Cd of June arraigned be-
fore the justice. A continuance was
granted until June 10. Very little is
known about the matter, as every effort
has been made to keep the proceedings
quiet. SubpGnas have been issued for
the clerks of the Courtland and Conti-
Mental hotels. At the latter place it is
alleged the accused parties registered
on the night of May a as ''Charles Hell
mer, New York" and Mrs. l.. Wigfall.
Elizabeth. n. j." At the Cortland hotel
the couple are said to have registered as
q. Ii. Wilson and wife Oh the night of
May 30. Mr.. Paige denies all knowledge
of the prosecution of Mrs. Hall and
Grant, and says he is in no way con-
nected with it. Mrs. Halls attorney
says she made the acquaintance of Paige
two years ago while playing in Hart
ford. He became infatuated with
her, and upon his solicitation she quit
ted the stage and went to live with
him under promise of marriage. Paige
delayed the ceremony pending compile
tion of negotiations of New York capi-
talists under which his type-setting
machine was to be put on the market
with capital of s3.000,000. Finally he
said the matter had been settled and
date set for April % last, at Milwaukee.
Paige came home one night and severe
ly beat Mrs. Hall and her mother. A
week later she and Paige left Hartford
for Milwaukee. where they arrived
April 81. There Paige accused her of
flirting with a good-looking clerk. and
finally declared he would not marry her.
She claims by threats he induced her to
sign a contract releasing him. She re-
turned to Hartford, but by advise of her
counsel came to Chicago and began suit
for breach of promise. She claims he
promised to give her SS00.000 out OF
royalties from the sale of his type-set-
ting machine.

The fact is recalled that on the night
before the nomination in Chicago in
1860 Horace Greeley telegraphed the
Tribune that no power on earth could
prevent the nomination on the follow
ing day of William I'll. Seward. On the
eve of the Cincinnati convention in 1876
Joseph Medill telegrapled to his paper
that Mr.. Blaine, whom he persistently
opposed, would be the nominee OF. the
convention, and the editor OF the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat declared Mr..
Hayes out of the race. Ii the same
year, at ST.. Louis, John Kelly and s. S,
Cox said that Samuel j. Tiiden would
be defeated in the convention, and that
the nominee would be Thomas 4. Hen

cies go to show that there is a good deal

PRESIDENTIAL PRECEDENTs.

The opponents of President HARRI-
SON have exhibited rare skill in gener-
alship, except in one or two particulars.
One of these particulars is the citing of
history in evidence of the inexpediency
of nominating second-term candidates.
History is dangerous element to drag
into little diSputatiOn of this kind-it
is so painfully precise and exact, so in
elastic and unrespOnsiye to obvious he
cessities. He who runs may read the
record, and so may he who doesn't care
to run. but has friend he would like to
see entered. Those who own up TO
BENJAMIN HARRISON as their friend
may cast at their precedent-hunting
adverSarieS the following 'deadly par
aIlel:"
Renominaied- Reelected
WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON.
JEFFERSON. JEFFERSON.
MADISON MADISON.
MONROE. MONROE
JACKSON. JACKSON.
VAN buren,. .--..-....
LINCOLN. .-- LINCOLN.
GRANT. GRANT.
CLEVELAND. .....,....
1t appears, then, that only two ont Of
nine presidents who secured renomina-
ton were defeated for the second term.
Moreover, as against the nine presi-
dents who were renominated. only six
duly elected Observation-Disclosures john,
ADAMS 81. o., POLK, PIERCE, b.
CHANAN and HAYEs-lived out their
first terms and failed of denomination.
HARRISON, GARFIELD and TAYLOR did
not live to complete one term in Office,
and TYLER, FILLMORE. JOHNSON and
ARTHUR, all of whom failed of renomina-
ton, cannot be classed among those
elected to the presidency, inasmuch as
they were elevated By death from the
vice presidential to the presidential
Office.
This completes the list of twenty-five
presidents, down toour own BENJAMIN,
and the latter can lay the pleasing unc-
tion to his soul that the balance of
precedent is slightly in favor of
second term nominations. There
is one rather curious feature of the
case, however, which suggests that pos
sibly the fine hand of Providence is
being felt in our national politics. Of
the two presidents who were renomi-
mated and not reelected. the first, MAR
TIN VAN BUREN, was defeated by
WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, and the
second, GROVER CLEVELAND, was de-
feated by WILLIAM HENRY's grandson,
