CLIPPINGS FROM CARMACK'S COM
MERCIAL.
Mr.. Buchanan must never forget that
the Commercial told him so.
There are icicles on the correspond
ence between Blaine and Harrison.
The administration is showing its
teeth to the Blaine boom in very ugly
sort of way.
There is no doubt that the Blaine
boom has sneaked up on Mr.. Harrison
unbeknownst.

whisker tempts the boreal blast.
If Mr.. Blaine is really as bad off as
the Harrison men say, he is probably
too weak to write another letter to Mr..
Clarkson.

now fighting the battle of his life" 1t
will be known to history however as
the battle of his death.
The "logic of the situation" seems to
be getting confused, or else it Is being
badly misrepresented by either the

get there.
Now that Mcdowell and several other
of Buchanan's office-hOlders have gone
over to the Third party, they ought in
all conscience to resign the offices they
obtained while protesting to be DEM
Ocrats.
When Blaine brought suit against the
Indianapolis Sentinel for libel, Mr..
Harrison was his attorney. II Blaine
should be nominated at Minneapolis he
will have to hire another lawyer for the
campaign.
Editor COckerill, of the New York
Morning Advertiser, seems to think
that Blaine as the Republican candi-
date would be invincible and that
Whitney as the Democratic candidate
couldn't be beat. We shudder to think
of the awful consequences if the ire
sistible Blaine should be hurled against
the impenetrable Whitney. Fortunately
for the peace of nations it will be Grover
and Ben.
