THE TAIL OF THE TICKET. !

What a truly unctuous balm it would
which affect to sneer at our republican
institutions. ii this Michigan pretender
should actually play his game we'll
enough to come within two points or
the presidency! How the old world
advocates of hereditary misrule would
hug themselves at such happening
And really, this happening does begin
to wear the seeming of probability. LII
BLAINE is to be enoninated for the pres
idency at Minneapolis. tho agreement
of the Republican bosses to that
effect doubtless includes also the
nomination of ALGER as vice preSl-
dent. Then there would remain only
the two contingencies of the election OF
the ticket and the death of BLAINE to
make this pIutocratic pirate chief figure
head of the nation. OF course, the hrSt
of these two obstacles would prove in
Surmountable, since not even an Al3e-
rian purse could buy the election OF
a ticket with the pirate himself on 1t.
But the damage would be done, and the
international Sneer would go around
when it became known that the redeem
ing qualities of the great American dol
lar can make even an ALGER remotely
eligible for the nations highest Office.
That it is the intention OF the BlalD-
iaes to name ALGER second on the
ticket is becoming hourly more appar-
ent. What else was meant by that con-
ference of BLAINE enthusiasts and
ALGER mercenarieS at Detroit few
weeks ago? From that very conference
dates the recent vigor Of the BLAINE
boom. Previous to that conference
there had been some deSultory talk OF
opposition to President HARRISON, but
the opposition seemed destined to go by
default through the inability oil the
great army of "inIividaal dislppoiut-
ments" to unite OIL candidate. At this
Detroit conference, howaver, 1t was
agreed that il HARRISON were to be
beaten it must be by the arOu'ing of
BLAINE sentiment, AMI as concession
to the potency Of ALGER's money bags
it was further agreed that the Michigan
pretender should be named second on
the ticket. That this was the plan OF
campaign agreed upon, and that BLAIN E
himself was party to the whole pro-
cedure, seems the only plausible inter-
probation to put on recent events. AMI 1t
therefore appears that the country may
soon undergo the humiliation of being
called upon to seriously consider i'll
rational election the unbounded etfront-
cry of an individual whose sole claim
for any consideration whatever is
mele matter OF dollars aud cents.

Blaine's Fatal Mistake.

Minneapolis ribune.
Mr.. Blaine resigned from the cabinet.
This means that he will accept nom
inaton-not if rendered "unanimously."
not if rendered with practical unan-
unity" not if rendered even by "large
majority'-but if he can get it by any
kind of a majority, large or small, little
or big.
The effect of his resignation on the
convention remains to be seen. The
effect OH his reputation is fOreshadoWed
by his letter of 1888, when he said:
~ There are some devoted and dislnterested
persons who have construed my letter Gas it
should be construed) TO be an unconditional
withdrawal of my name from the national
convention. They have in consequence
given their support to eminent gentlemen
who are candidates for the Chicago nomlna-
-tion, some of whom would not | am sure.

The Sauk Center Avalanche gives the Sage

be having it all their own way now, the AL
lance almost universally joining and Don
nelly will be the nominee for governor"
The Litchfield Observer: 1.-The Nelson
boom seems to be breaking at several points,
and his logs are scattering all over the polit-
ical flats The other fellows are busily pick-

Donnelly has a staunch supporter in the
Polk News, which says: 1.-The old party

YESTERDAYS CORRESPOND
ENCE,

Extreme heat and extreme frigidity,
identical IN their phenomena, reached
their composite climax yesterday in the
correspondence wherein the resignation
of JAMES G. BLAINE as secretary of
state was rendered to and accepted by
the president of these United States.
Where in the history of calorics will
you find such another ''hot one"
as JIM gave to BEN and BEN
gave back to JIM! Where in the record
of Polar exploration will you find
harder freeze than froze the ink in
which JIM said "Let's quit" and BEN
said "Amenw 1t is a ne plus ultra
case; nothing back of i! and nothing be-
yond it can beat it. There was no pal
try pretense of literary graces here.
No renewed assurances of great con-
sideratiOn were exchanged in these
epistles. Not muchi Jim the Penman
and the giant BENJAMIN just dipped
their quills in sublimate of whitening
directnesS, and said what they felt the
occasion and their own feelings re-
quired. And as they wrote the
heat of their emotions shriveled up
the paper. even while the frigid-
ity of their utterances froze the
ink. 1t was parting of the
ways. and mutual consignment of
diverging fortunes to the tender care of
Beelzebub. In Texas each letter would
have contained a chiYalric admonition
to ''carry your bowie knife" but in
Washington that wasn't needed. 1t
goes without saying that the men who
wrote those letters were moved
by degree of animosity that
will stop at no sort of cut
ting contest, and that. therefore, which
ever one of them fails of nomination at
Minneapolis will employ instant means
to assist the Democracy in defeating
the other. The means will be negative,
of course. but significant inaction will
be quite as efficacious as rampant op-
position.

THE PULL ON HISTORY.

In pursuing their investigations into
the political history of the country, the
HARRISON men find comfort III the fact
that the brainy men and great party
leaders never get to be president. They
unravel the record back to ANDREW
JACKSON. and find the story uniform.
HENRY CLAY was the idol of the old
|. Whig party, and for a quarter of CELL
tury the embodiment of leadership. He
was ambitious to be president, but his
party set him aside for small men almost
unknown in politics, and when he
finally secured the nomination he was
defeated 10y man hardly known out
of his own state. DANIEL WEBSTER
died of a broken heart because his party
would not give him the nomination.
/ BUCHANAN is the only man of any per-
Sonat reputation before his election that
the Democrats have put iii the presi-
dental chair in a half-century. and he
was not popular leader. In fact, the
preference has largely been for men
like the first HARRISON, TAYLo5sg
SCOTT, MCCLELLAN, HANCOCK and
GRANT, who figured iu war, not in
politics. In 1860, SEWARD, the leader,
was set aside for the almost unknowp-
LINCOLN. TILDEN could not be presi-
dent even with HAYES Op-
posed. CLEVELAND was : a new
man when he was elected, and he
was able to defeat the great favor
ite of the Republicans. The HARRISON
fellows have the pull on the precedents
when they predict that BLAINE can
never be president. They show by the
election tables that when he was the
nominee he fell behind his party
strength in the states where the shouts
for him were the loudeSt. Their posi-
ton is buttressed with facts and prob
abilities when they insist that his nom-
ination in the way it will come, if at
all, will make him weaker than before.
A victory gained at Minneapolis amid the
haze of duplicity and intrigue would
lead to Waterloo in November. Their
view of the matter has philosophy and
logic in it, whatever its effect.

THE OCEAN CANAL.

The convention that has been held at
st. Louis the past week has not at
tracted the attention it probably would

sparring Of the political elements now
focusing little further up the big
river. 1t comprised representatives

orally by appointment of the governors,
and no doubt will have some effect in
directing attention to the Nicaragua
canal enterprise. Is was timed so as to
present Its work to the conventions OF
the great parties for Endorsement.
The attempt SO recently to IN
duce congress to indorse its bonds
to the amount of $100.O00,000 was
failure. Now the end is to be
sought by first operating IN the political
parties and securing favorable planks
i'll the platforms. The company,of which
WARNER MILLER is the head, set out
with claims of ample means for the
prosecution of the work, which is of un-
questioned Importance to the CONNER
cial interests. But beginning was
hardly made before congress was in
vOked.tO put the United States treasury
behind the work. The early estimates
put the cost at about S65 100000. These
have since been growing, as Is usually
the case in such enterprise, and now
have doubled the original figures. But
the st. Louis convention did not in
dictate amounts. Its request is sim
ply that the government shall
afford such aid as may be needful for
the early completion of the canal. There
is no question as to the desirability of
the enterprise TO this country. 1t is to
connect the Atlantic and Pacific by
water route of ITO miles. the greater
part of the distance utilizing river
and lake 100 feet above the sea level. 1t
will reduce the water route from the Pa
cific coast to Europe about 1000 miles,
and some 5000 between the two sides of
this continent. The tedious Journey
about Cape Horn will be saved. If it is
to be the paying scheme claimed for it,
the need OF saddlIng its cost upon the
government will be questioned. Wheth-
er the conventions will commit the par
ties to financial aid by the United
States is not yet apparent.
