Foraker ON Blaine's Letter.

CINCINNATI Feb. 8.-The Post this after

kor on Blaine's letter OF declination. Said Mr..
Foraker: mfr. Blaine will stand in history
without q rival. Twice when he was candi-
date for the nomination 1t was refused him.
Once when nominated he was defeated Such
record would destroy the power. influence.
and prestige OF almost any other man. But
instead. he has constantly grown greater.
stronger, and nearer to the hearts Of the peo-
pie. until. as n result, he has had literally
forced upon him an opportunity to make the
unprecedented record Of twice declining a
nomination which would have meant In each
instance an election. Somebody once said in
substance. TINT TO refuse to hsa Bishop is
greater than to be a Bishop The same can
be said OF the Presidency. and especially Of
Mr.. Blaine. who has twice refused it.
AS u Republican, l deeply regret Mr..
Blaine's determination. In saying this don't
mean to disparago President Harrison. He
has given us n Wise and safe Administration,
but the truth Is apparent to all that he doesn t
have that hold upon the affections OF the peo-
pie Tint Blaine enjoys. and in conseQ uence
cannot have the strength rs q candidate that
Mr.. Blaine would have. or course. l do not
know that President Harrison will be renom-
mated. but, in saying what have. have SO
assumed. We would have had an easy victory
with Blaine: we may have a hard fight, but 1t
will be- triumphant one with Harrison"
