Mr.. Rlalne's Letter.

Mr.. Blaine's letter published elsewhere,
is sad disappointment to republicans all
over the country, in which Maine keenly
shares. He is the one man who could
have the Republican nomination without
an effort, and the one man whose election
would come most surely and easily.
Since 1883 he has held the unique posi-
tion of the only man in the United States
who had declined to accept nomination
for the most honorable place on earth, en-
tirely within his grssp. His position is
now rendered more striking by declining
q second time the nomination for the
Presidency, equivalent to an election that
would have come to him without any ef-
fort on his part. MIR. Blaine is not un.
appreciative Of the great honor and must
have sufficient reason, in his own mind,
for declining the nomination for the office
he is so superbly fitted to adorn

is about 5010)0 There are in the state ID
representative class districts. 1t Is safe t.
reckon that each of the two great parties
will have IA full ticket in each of these DIS
tricts-this would call for 303 different sorts
of tickets. Presumably in at least 100 OF
these districts other parties Will have
ticket. So that in all these 100000 ballots
must be divided up in the printing INTO at
least l0O different tickets When printed
these ballots are to be fastened together IN
blocks say of scvcnty-tive each, or about
G,GOO different blocks or packages, and must
be carefully packed, labeled, recorded and
| shipped, under seal.
1t will be seen at glance that to print

and town clerks, must involve great dea

be sent to each of these 800 clerks in tHf
lots at two different times. The first lot
in time 10 be teccircd IN SFeh cicfhS SEE
