Political Points.

The Republican party has been in power during all these years duriifg which wages have been reduced, the rich growing richer and the poor poorer. Mt Dear Fisher: You can do me a favor that I will never forget. Publish n* more of my letters. Burn them. My love to Mrs. Fisher. J. G. Blaine. The more Blaine’s record is examined, the blacker it appears. If he ever failed to embrace an opportunity for dishonest action in his po itical Mfe, it would be refreshing to know it. H. B. Claflin, the great New York drygoods merchant, says that for obvious reasons ha cannot vote for Blaine. He is a life-long Republican, and will probably vote for Cleveland, who ho believes will be elected. We are by no means pleased with the thought of having Mr. Blaine President of the United States. His methods, through one of the most prominent carees that any politician has had, do not bear scrutiny.— Unitarian Review. The magnetic mendicant, who is begging his way to the White House, says he never offered a: y money for the Mulligan letters, and there never was a time when ho would have paid a single penny for them. Why did he go down on his knees w th tears in his eyes to entreat for letter* that he cared so little about? Tens of thousands of Republicans will, through party 10. altv, vote for Blaine to preside over the business affairs of 55,000,0( 0 < f people who would not appoint him, or anv one s milarly conv.cted, to any responsible position in their emplov. These men prefer party to country. There is a world of warning in thia state of affair*.— Boston Globe.
