In The Gazette Of Tuesday there was
an extract taken from the Nashville
American. that Justly ELECTED editorial
criticism. When q newspaper opens its
columns to malmers or mercenary writ
ers t steps down from the high posi-
tion Of diguihcd chronicle OF current
events and the impartial critic Of action.
The press cannot afford TO have itself
dsereditcd 10y becoming n puryeyor Of
fal.elood and malice. SANDER aud sem
sation-mougcrs. the yillifers aud the Vi
cious ought to be compelled 10 find some
other outlet for their venom aud men
dadty II b. due W itself aud The pub
lic that the press keep It's columns clean
aud worthy of respect and confidence.
II is impossible Tor newspaper to bee
funltless. for with the most careful sift-
ing falsities creep In. but when the char
ncter Of journal Is such that the truth
Is known 10 be- more welcome Than false
hood when its columns breathe the spirit
" Justice toward all. when those who
write Tor IL recognize that while news
H. earnestly desired and must be- sup
piled. disgusting details aud personal
venom eau have no place. Then, and
iliau only. Is il entitled 20 public RESPECT
and confidence.
There is too much lending Of news
papers ca sousaiionulism tbnt has not
shadow of claim on truth, aud when
malice is allowed 10 guide the editorial
pencil. there can Doe nothing 10 severe

the right of the dead TO have their lives
chuiiiably dealt with, and TO DO other
wise H. more in keeping with the habit
of the grayc.hnpnting lyena than Of fell
low men who should scorn 10 disturb

he left this institution in 1854 to taks
editorial charge of a newspaper in Maine.
In his work here il is evident that Mr..
Blaine was successful, but his wife was
anxious that their home should be made
In her native State, and, guided perhaps
by his own ambition for a larger field az
well AS by a spirit of complaisance to his
wife's wishes, he resigned his position in
the school and removed to Augusta.

himself, perhaps, without certain of the
theories of life and affairs which prevail
In Maine, but he either readily assimi-

and honest theories suiliced; for, from the

exercised an important influence in his
adopted state. The Journal wac a weekly

der Mr.. Blaine's management did vigor-
Gus service for that expiring cause. In

Republican party, he disposed Of his in

In 1850 he was elected to Congress.
An attempt TO pursue his course step by

Nothing that could be said OF his
public career would meet with reader AS
sent from both his enemies and his friends
than the statement that he was one of
the best equipped men for the position
who have occupied the Speakers chair.
This, In the long space during which he
presided over the deliberations OF the
House, was not denied on any hand, and
even his Democratic opponents yielded
their admiration TO his discharge of the
difficult duties of presiding officer. His
least reasonable detractors have always
admitted his eminent ftness for the post,
and a writer in "A newspaper, professedly
opposed to Mr.. Blaine, speaking after the
nomination, says Of his bearing as
Speaker ellis quickness, his thorough
knowledge Of parliamentary law and OF
the rules, his firmness, clear voice, and
impressive manner, his ready conprehen-
sion Of subjects and situations, and his
dash and brilliancy have been widely
recognized, and really made him a great

qualities OF attraction, Of sympathetic IN.
tuition which are now fittingly described
as personal magnetism. IL Is said that
MIR. Blaine rarely forgot a face, or the
name that belonged TO it. He had the
faculty Of making those With whom be
came in contact believe that he took the
strongest m most direct personal inter-
est in them. Ii was said of him that he
could decline a request fer a favor In such
a way as 10 make a friend by an act which
would have made an enemy for most m.n.
His conversational powers were neces-
sarily, from what has been said. OF a high
order. his fund of Indignation, while
not as thorough or as accurate as he no
doubt would have liked, owing TO his lack
OF early advantages, was most extensive
and there were few subjects on which he
could not converse entertainingly As
man of business, he was remarkably sue
cessful and his judgment respecting in.
vestments was almost infallible. This
capacity in this direction gave great
weight 10 many Of his ideas and sugges-
tions respecting the commercial policy of
the country.
MIR. Blaine's position was unique. Bv
his friends and admirers he was esteemed
a man OF stern integrity, a statesman of
iar-seelng, prophetic vision, an orator of
fnatchIess e~loquence, a leader without
fear and without reproach. His enemies.
and he had many, both political and per-
sonal, called him crafty, INSCRIPTIONS
and corrupt in money matters, a scheming
politician with no elements of greatness,
an orator who dealt in words and phrases !
only, a leader who was for himself first
and always. 1t is probable that he was
by no means without faults and certain
that he had many qualities Of greatness:
in other words that the truth lies some.

cause during the campaign. It was made
in recognition Of his fitness for the post.
and as a compliment to a trusted
friend.
Mr.. Blaine's season Of service in his
new Office began with the Inauguration
OF the President, March 5, 1881, and was
completed when on December / 9th OF the
same year he resigned the portfolio of
state In this time it was impossible to
accomplish anything OF Importance, but
the chief of his large-minded plans was
near fruition when he relinquished his
place in the Cabinet. Scarcely four
months passed before the President was
