stood by everybody that has ever read it. The interest the Times will take in this canvass is that of a friend and physician. It is not with cynical indifference, but with unspeakable sadness that it sees the Republican party perversely Bet its face toward error and its feet in vicious paths, for it lias done some service in the party. But with patience and with unfailing hope the Times will cheerfully and with sincerity labor to set the party right again, and when it shall have had its‘now birth, to draw to it all that is soundest, best and worthiest in the manhood of this republic, LITTLE DOUBT OF HIS ELECTION. Boston Journal. Os the election of Mr. Blaine there is very little question The campaign thus far has shown his wonderful strength with the people. We confess that the spontaneous movement for Mr. Blaine at the West is something unprecedented. No effort on his part was made to secure delegates. They flocked to his banner as soon as it was raised at Chicago, and his supporters are not political adventurers or the noisy element whicn is found in any party. They represent the best, type of Americans and the strongest Republicanism. He is the choice of the Republican convention, honestly and fairly nominated, and as such will receive the cordial support of the men who have voted for Lincoln, Grant, Hayes and Garfield. The Republican party is stronger and greater than any man in the party. That its principles should triumph, that its policy should be perpetuated, that its wise and beneficent administration of public affairs should be continued, is of vastly more importance than the rise or fall of individual fortunes. Personal preferences and disappointments must give place to cordiari 00-operation for the success of the party. Differences of opinion and the rivalry of aspirants were for the days before the convention. The convention was the arbiter of the issue, and its decision was given with an emphasis which leaves no room for dispute. Its choice will be accepted by the great mass of Republicins with the same good sense and frank loyalty irhich were maifested by the minority in the •onventiou. WORTHY TO SUCCEED LINCOLN AND HAMLIN. Philadelphia Press. Those on whom the party ties sit lightly and those who ordinarily neglect the privileges of guffrago will be drawn to the support of Blaine by the irresistible attraction of his strong personality and by the conviction which none can ©scape, that of all our public men he is pre-em-inently fit for the office of President of the Uni tea States. The convention could not have made a nomination which would have been as acceptable to the Republican masses or which would have made its success in November nearly as certain or as easy as it will now be The nomination of John A. Logan for Vice president rounds out to grand proportions the ticket so grandly led by Blaine. Patriot, congressman, soldier, senator, and always bold, brave, and aggressive, John A. Logan's name is insep arably associated with the history of the heroic period of the Republican party, and his appearance at the front of the campaign of 1884 will be a bugle call to the impulses which found their fruitage in a reconstructed Union and an emancipated republic. It is a happy circumstance and one full of good omen that the two States which put forth the ticket which lifted the Republican party to favor in 1860 are again to the front in 1884, with the order of honors reversed, it is true, but with a combination worthy in all true senses of the succession to Lincoln and Hamlin. THE DUTY OF REPUBLICANS. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Blaine owes his nomination to a convention representing the best thought and feeling, aspiration and conscience, of the American people; and the verdict of such a body, rendered in tones go emphatic and so enthusiastic, is not to be crit icized, or sulked over, or appealed from. The obligation of all Republicans, whatever mav have been their views in the contest just closed. Is plain and definite, aud that is to accept the action of the convention in a cheerful spirit and with a hearty and determined purpose to carry the old flag again to victory over the obstinate tmd pestilent influences of the party that lies ♦agerly in wait for a chance to change, undo and dishonor, as far as possible, the wonderful story of the last twenty-five years of national progress. There were few men who did more splendid and effective work in saving the Union, and few men have contributed more since the war to the preservation of the fruits of that great conflict than Logan. Like Blaine, lie is known from one end of the country to the other, and, like Blaine, he is of the dashing and ag gressive temperament which wins votes and compels success. The idea of such a ticket being beaten is not to be entertained for a moment by anybody who knows the American peo pie and has observed how ready they are to im prove an opportunity to reward those who have served them acceptably and faithfully. MEN OF EXCEPTIONAL STRENGTH. Chicago Tribune. No living American statesman ever filled the hearts of tne people more completely than Blaine does. The martyrdom of Lincoln and Garfield has won for them a peculiar veneration which no man in life can hope to attain, but Blaine has reached the highest place in public esteem. He is admired as the most brilliant statesman of his day; he is loved for his warm nature; his Americanism is so broad, bold and spirited that it has won the applause of his political opponents. The elavation or such a man to the chief magistracy will be a matterof pride to every patriotic American citizen. The same universal admiration which pushed him into nomination will achieve his election. General Logan will bring a tremendous personal strength to the campaign. No man who served in the Union army is more popular than he is with tne old soldiers. He came out of the war with the reputation of the best volunteer general who served in it. He stands especially high with the Grand Army of the Republic. His personal valor, aside from his mar tial abilities, has commanded the enthusiastic admiration of the soldier element, and his steadfast zeal on behalf of the veterans upon every occasion, as well as his manly and consistent attitude in regard to Pitz John Porter’s case, insure a special effort among the Union soldiers for his election. A TYPICAL AMERICAN. Cleveland Herald. Wild as was the enthusiasm which swept that great assemblage off its feet at the announcement of the name of the people’s favorite, it was but a public indication of the tremendous wave of enthusiastic energy whose resistless tide will carry all before it this fall, and bear Blaine in triumph into the White House next March. His history as a public man is that of the Republican party and the nation. He is a typical American. It would have been impossible to make a nomination that would be better received in Ohio, or that would exercise a stronger influence for good on the fortunes of the Republican party in this State at the coming election. In Northern Ohio, especially, Blaine is the pop alar idol. His intimate association with Gar field, and the part he bore in the tragic events of the dosing months of the martyred President’s life, completely won their hearts. He became ♦he natural heir to the affection they boro the deeply-loved and cruelly-lost Garfield. No man could so stir the hearts of the people of Ohio, particularly in the Republican strongholds, and wring out the Republican vote to the hist man, as .lauies G. Blaine, the personal friend, the de voted adherent, the political other self of the martyr President, James A. Garfield. IBs nomination insures a sweeping victory in October, and a crowning triumph in November. HE HAS WON HIS WAY BY NATIVE ABILITY. Hartford Uoiirant. Mr. Blaiue has been a conspicuous party leader for twenty years: he has taken part in ail the great civil struggles of the period: he has won his way to the front rank of leadership by native ability and splendid acquirements; he has made hosts of devoted friends, resembling Henry Clay in the respect of an idolizing personal following, and he lias made bitter personal enemies; but that he is the choice of a majority of the Republican party there is no room for doubt, ana the enthusiasm for him carried him to his triumph. With his great capacities, Mr. Blaine has faults plain to see. but the arguments against Mr. Blaine’s candidacy are answered by the tremendous enthusiasm that has borne him to his position. We have not to deal with an unknown man or an unknown cause. Tim POPULAR LEADER OF THE DAY. Pittsburg Commercial Gazette. Blaine is ihe popular leader in the country today. and will arouse greater enthusiasm, inspire a higher degree of confidence, and command a larger support in those States that must bo depended on for Republican electors than any other man who could have been named. Ohio, Connecticut am 1 California have been taken at once out. of the lift of douß si. :es New York and Indiana will rally to th 6 standard of

Blaine and Logan with an alacrity and enthusiasm which will take the sting from any latent opposition within the party. The prestige of his name* will give the party a fighting chance in Virginia, West Virginia and Florida, and if proper efforts are.made in the South, two or throe States rated as “solid” may be captured. The nomination of General Logan for second place is one which will commend itself to general approval. It is a recognition of the soldier element which will be fully approved and balance the geographical claims of the two great sections with satisfactory precision. THE MOST CAPABLE MAN IN THE PARTY. Cincinnati Enquirer (Deui.) James G. Blaine was not bora with a silver spoon in his mouth. Asa boy he was compelled to battle with poverty, and in the hand-to-hand struggle with life had to push aside the arrogance which wealth invariably begets t and weans. Asa young man he was compelled to be the tutor instead of the spoiled and pampered pupil. When he dared to enter political life he was met with that rascality which wealth is too often the parent of. But Mr. Blaino always maintained a steadfast course, and to-day ho is the most conspicuous figure and the strongest man in his party. It must be conceded that he is the most capable man and the most thorough master of politics that can be found within the Republican hosts to-day. Blaine is a statesman, while too many of his contemporaries are merely politicians. Always the defender of American interests, he will awaken an enthusiasm that no other man in his party possibly could. * * * The nomination of Blaine may be understood as an indorsement of the short and sad administration of Garfield. Northern Ohio, the home of the murdered President, as we write, is greeting the rising sun by the booming of cannon and general rejoicing. In that locality especially is the nomination of Blaine regarded as an indorsement of the administration of their friend and neighbor, who fell by the assassin's bullet. In choosing Blaine the convention recognized the importance of the vote of Ohio at the October election. It remains to be seen whether the Democrats when they meet in convention next month will accede to the wishes of the people, as the Republicans have done. Will they put aside the tricksters and choose a man who is of the people and for the people? The nomination of Blaine and Logan yesterday makes it absolutely necessary that they shall do this, or go down in utter defeat THE STRONGEST CANDIDATE. New York Tribune. James G. Blaine has been nominated by the people, and will be elected by the people. For a quarter of a century no other candidate has been more clearly preferred by the voters. Patronage had no part in his nomination. Even in the hour of tlieir defeat his opponents did not attribute this sucess to any unworthy influence. By them it was admitted, as it must be admitted by all. that the people desired the nomination of Mr. Blaine. Mr. Blaine is the strongest candidate the Republican party could have nominated, because he best represents its convictions. Those who supported President Arthur, Senator Edmunds and other candidates with so much zeal and fidelity deserve honor for their conscientious efforts, and yet they will realize before many days, we feel sure, that the people were wiser than most of their leaders. The nomination of General Logan for Vicepresident was also especially fortunate. He has great strength at the West, and with the soldiers everywhere, and his name will kindle the enthusiasm of Republicans at the South. The ticket cannot be beaten. Blaine and Logan will carry every Northern State, and probably more than one of the Southern States beside. A QUESTION OF MEASURES. National Republican. The question is not one of men, but of measures; not a personal issue, but one of policy. Shall the Republican party, with its principles of free speech, individual sovereignty, protection of home industry and the laboring man. govern the nation from 1885 to 1889, or shall the Bourbon Democracy dominate the country, suppressing freedom and free utterances, trampling upon individuals, submitting to the rule of a few arrogant and antiquated negro-haters, and sacrificing the diversified occupations and the comfort and prosperity of the American workmen to give profits to the English, French and German manufacturers who employ only pauper workmen and pay them only starvation wages? Before this issue men are nothing, principles are everything. President Arthur, known to be wise, considerate, patriotic, sure of the electoral vote of New York, would have been the best candidate. No doubt would for a moment have been felt concerning his election. But James G. Blaine has been fairly nominated. The supreme duty of every patriot is to labor for his election. Magnetism ana enthusiasm will not do the work. But such loyalty to the party as President Arthur has manifested, followed by earnest aud cordial labor, will give success. ONE OF THE FEW BELOVED LEADERS. Baltimore American. Not since Grant’s first term has the Republican party boen so united as now. Not since Lincoln’s second term has any leader been so beloved. The value of his personal popularity can hardly be overrated in the close States. Now York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and New Jersey have sometimes suffered themselves to go Democratic, but by default. This has always happened at periods of discontent with the Republican party management. But on a full vote these States are Republican. Blaine’s popularity will bring out a fuller party vote than could have boen brought out by any other leader. It has been given to only a few Americans to excite affection of this sort. Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay and Abraham Lincoln are among the few who have enjoyed public esteem and love as James G. Blaine does. The campaign of calumny and abuse has already begun. The ashes of old accusations will be raked over in the hope of kindling anew the fires of persecution and slander. But this will avail nothing. Envenomed slander did its worst against Garfield, but it did not hurt him. It cannot hurt Blaine. REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES WILL BE MAINTAINED. Milwaukee Sentinel. With Mr. Blaine in the White House, Republican principles aud policy will be maintained in the administration of the government; with his defeat will come the rule of the Democratic party, with no settled principles nor policy, but disturbing all the financial and business interests of the country by its subserviency to the schemes of reekless cranks and demagogues, who wish to gain favor with the worst elements of the population by pandering to their passions and prejudices. President Arthur lias set a good example to othe* Republicans by promptly sending his congratulations to Mr. Blaiue, and pledging him his cordial support. The advocates of his nomination, who maintained that his name would kindle a flame of enthusiasm that would sweep over the country and assure his election by an unexampled majority, are now especially called upon to omit no possible exertions which will contribute to his success. NOT ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN OF VICTORY. Chicago Inter Ocean. No man in the Republican party stands so near the hearts of a large majority of its members as James G. Blame. He is in reality their “Plumed Knight.” Slander and vituperation seem only to attach them more closely and give them greater eagerness to demonstrate their loyalty and devotion. These men are of the rank and file of the party, and perhaps it was well to gratify them by the nomination of this modern Harry of the West. There is no doubt but the nomination will be received with en thusiasm. Bonfires will be kindled all over the country, school houses aud town halls will echo the sonorous periods of Ingersoll’s famous eulogy, and there will be a grand response to the loader's call, but it remains to be seen whether such enthusiasm will waste its force within the close boundaries of party, or, overflowing, take in the independent voter and sweep forward to victory. WEST VIRGINIA WILL GO REPUBLICAN. Wheeling Intelligencer. After years of hopeless combat with an opponent physically our superior, West Virginia stands at the masthead of a new era. The nomination of James G. Blaine for President will complete the work so happily begun within our own borders, and the Mountain State will be worsted from Bourbon domination and again placed where she belongs-—in the ranks of the Republican States. The State needs the moral influence of that position more than the Republican party needs her support . She must shake off the shackles and move on the march of progress politically and industrially. Her mines, her factories, her flocks and her workshops need the fostering care of Republican protection. Her children need the enlightenment of Republican education, the State needs Blaine. The Democrats affect to ridicule the idea of Republican vie-

tory in West Virginia. So did they affect to ridicule the election of Goff* to Congress, but he was elected, and just as easily, just as surely can wo redeem the whole State with the prestige Blaine and Logan will give us. TATTOOED WITH HONORABLE WOUNDS. St. Louis Morning Call. They have called him “Ihe tattooed man.” So let it be: the word of reproach shall boa name of honor. The word of envy shall be a title of glory. He is a tattooed man. The wounds of the fore front of every battle for the people’s rights during the last quarter of our century have left their marks upon him. He is tattooed with everything that is highest, and noblest, and dearest in our history. The preservation of the union of the States, the redemption of the national credit, the defeat of the rebels in war and the more dangerous traitors in peace—with all these is this leader tattooed. Tattooed with this, and more, tattooed with a genius that is marvelous; tattooed with magnificence as a leader, with generosity as an opponent, with wisdom as a statesman; tattooed with a list of deeds in public life that in spite of calumny mark him as a great, true, noble man. THE PARTY WILL BE WORTHILY LED. Albany Evening Journal. The Republican party, invincible as the exponent of progressive ideas and courageous actions, will be worthily led by the man whom it has honored with its approval this day. All citizens who desire that this conntry shall stand before the world as a nation, great and benignant in its might, as the robust typo of successful government by and for the people will heartily approve the nomination of the illustrious statesman from Maine. If the Republican party has vet a mission to fulfill, it has show n wisdom in the selection of a candidate who has been unswerving in obedience to its decisions, and powerful in championship of its settled policies. If there is need of honesty, vigor, leadership and capacity in the chief executive, those qualities will be supplied in the triumphal election of that candidate to the office of President. HIS MAGNETISM IS NOT AN EMPTY PHRASE. New York Staatz Zeituiig (Dem. ) We hope that the Democratic party, through some available candidate who is the opposite of Blaine, will secure the defeat of Blaine, but we would prefer that the country had been spared the danger of the election of such a President. It does not occur to us that Blaine is a weak character. His ‘‘ m agnetism” is no empty phrase. We cannot say that he is a leader in the sense that Thaddeus Stevens was. When he left Congress to become the head of the executive (for he was the only head of the Garfield administration), he was obliged to prop up his popularity by a combative foreign policy which should tickle the vanity of the nation, so little did he regard the interests of the people. To this course the man will always adhere, no matter in what position he may be. HE WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT. Springfield (III.) Journal. James G. Blaine will be the next President of the United States. This is the will of the republic, and this foregone conclusion rests in the fact that no other man lies so near the hearts of the American people as the Maine statesman. His devotion to the whole body of Republican doctrines is as unimpeachable* as was that of our immortal martyr Presidents, and to this fealty he adds unequaled courage, discretion, penetration. and decision. What other men required weeks or months to understand he comprehends at a glance. If now the Democrats nominate Tilden it will simply be a contest between a pigmy and a giant athlete, and nature decides all such contests. CAN WE FIGHT A DEFENSIVE CAMPAIGN? New York Commercial Advertiser. President Arthur can afford to be beaten by the elements which have prevailed at Chicago. Ts the opinion of reformers, the cowboys and the star-route gang did not openly clasp hands to compass this result, they worked for a common object. Can the party successfully fight through a campaign in which it must be constantly on the defensive? Can the upright and intelligent voters of the party be persuaded to support Blaine? If the man the convention has chosen to supplant President Arthur can approach in dignity, in purity and in patriotism the administration we are now to lose, he will do more than the best judges of events and character have thought to be possible. HE WILL NOT BE EASILY BEATEN. New York Sun (.Dem.) A great many Republicans are opposed to Mr. Blaine, but those who imagine that because of such defection the country is now to witness a spiritless canvass and an easy triumph for the opposition are. in our judgment, very much in error. Mr. Blaine is a fertile and sensational politician, and he will force the fight from the start. With prudent counsels, a good candidate and a judicious and patriotic platform, the Democracy may now win a great victory for the country, but we warn them that it will be no holiday task; that every point will be hotly contested, and that every advantage they may gain wall have to be fought for in tremendous earnest. THE TRULY PROGRESSIVE PARTY. Now York Tribune. On the whole it is a declaration of principles which assuredly accords with the tenor of public opinion. Progressive, and yet not so far in advance of the time as to lose public support, the platform fairly represents the present attitude of the only truly progressive party in the country. The world has learned, too, that the Republican party means all that it says—and a little more. Its firm steps of to day will become the solid facts of history to-morrow. Aud if it anywhere steps with caution and tentatively, we may rest assured that the firm tread and irrevocable advance will come a little later. For the Republican party is the party that moves. A SAFE DEFENDER OF HIS COUNTRY. Pittsburg Telegraph. There are a great many conservative people, not fond of noise and hurrah, who would have preferred a less brilliant man than Mr. Blaine for President, but no one can deny that Mr. Blaine, carried to the executive chair upon such a platform as that constructed by the late convention, will prove a much safer defender of the commercial interests of the country than any Democrat which the communistic whisky-ring party, straddling between Kentucky and Pennsylvania. and touching both only with its toes, propped up by Tammany, with the safety net stretched all over the negro-hating South, can place in nomination. A STEADY GLOW OF BRILLIANCY. Buffalo Ex press. It is not manly, it is not patriotic, to decry Mr. Blaine’s true greatness. One need not be his political supporter to recognize his splendid quali ties, nor his eulogist to admit them- He was once characterized by an earnest opponent as “a brilliant, but tainted man.” We know that he is brilliant. His brilliancy is of that sort which the taint upon his character cannot dim. It is not a flash, but a steady glow. All his old competitors have disappeared, while lie remains the leader still, abler and greater than when his “audacity of genius” was first recognized, or when he hall freshly “torn from the throat of treason the tongue of slander.” A GLORIOUS CANDIDATE. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. * We are sure of a glorious candidate in Blaine. The more we hear from him the better, and wo are likely to hear very much. The magnetic storm which has raged in Chicago for a week, ;nd broke forth there in an illumination that, like the northern lights, shone over the skies, will overspread the country from the lakes to the gulf and sea to sea. It will quicken the whole people of tho United States, and brighten their public life, to elect Blaine President, and the safety and splendor of his administration will solidly Republicanism at home, and lift the great republic still higher among the nations ot' the earth. A STRONG NOMINATION. Pittsburg Dispatch. The nomination of General Logan for Vicepresident. from the stand point of practical politics, is one whose expediency will be generally recognized. It is a stronger nomination by far in its appeal to public support than any that has in the present generation preceded it. General Logan is better known than were Colfax, Wheel er or Arthur —necessarily so on account of his services in the army, in the Senate and as an aspirant to the presidency. AN ADMIRABLE PRESENTATION. Philadelphia Pres*. The silver and the pension declaration are tho two planks wo would wish to read differently, but the platform on the whole is a strong and admirable presentation of Republican doctrine. The party can well nffoid to go before the country as tho aggressive and uncompromising

champion of the principles yesterday enunciated, and, with Air. Blaine as its chief standardbearer, the man who represents these principles more perfectly and completely than any other, the Republican party may count with confidence on an overwhelming verdict in its favor next November. A TIDAL WAVE OF POPULAR SUPPORT, Chicago Evening Journal. “Tho Plumed Knight heads the column which will march on to victory in November. No one need fear defeat under such a bold, couragious, gallant leadership. The nomination of Air. Blaine assures a vigorous and enthusiastic cam paign. The young men as well as many of the older men of the nation are unmistakably for Blaine. They will inako it exceedingly lively for the other side, and roll up a tidal wave of popular support, aud of popular ballots for the brave and able man of Maine that will carry him into the White House with a sweeping majority. This may be set down as a foregone conclusion.” THE STRONG POINT IN THE PLATFORM. Pittsburg Dispatch. The strong point of the platform is in its unequivocal and earnest enunciation of the principle of protection for the benefit of labor. On this point the record of the party lias been consistent aud honest, with a few slight exceptions. There is no dodging of the question for the purpose of favoring revenue reformers. The other clauses of tlio platform show a very strong desire to conciliate the laboring vote, and in this, too, the platform is consistent with the main record of the Republican party. For these features of the platform the convention is to be commended. AN AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN. St. Lout* Post-Dispatch. It will be aggressive in every sense of the word. It will not only invade the Democratic camp and challenge Democracy to combat on its own soil, but it will make things lively along that vague boundary line of Republicanism in habited by the Independents. Blaino will manage the campaign. It is not in his nature to sit still and allow loss energetic and less capable subordinates to weaken his cause. His intense vitality, his energy, ardor and enthusiasm will inspire the workers and communicate his spirit to them. •A WINNING TICKET. Cleveland Leader. Logan for Vice president is an admirable selection, and Blaine and Logan make a winning ticket. The two great men represent the best elements of the American statesman, and the American soldier. Logan would adorn either place, but from his long services in the Senate he is particularly well fitted for the vice-presi-dency. Blaine will make one of the greatest Presidents this nation ever had. He is a leader among leaders; a statesman, head and shoulders above any other of this generation. HE WILL MAKE THE COUNTRY RESPECTED. San Francisco Chronicle. Blaine is the man who as President will do more to make this country and its citizens respected than has ever been done since tho foundation of tho government. Unless we muc h mistake his mettle, with this man at the helm we shall have no slip-shod, shilly-shally, back-down-and swallow-insult foreign policy. Wo count upon liis election as an event as sure as anything in the future can be. As for this coast, every Pacific State will cast its vote for Blaine and Logan. LET THE DEMOCRACY MATCH THEM. Ohio State Journal. Probably no two men could have been associated together who combine, in themselves, such varied and powerful elements of personal popularity as James G. Blaine and .John A. Logan. But they are not only popular men; they are men of brains, men of public experience, men whom the Democratic party may be challenged to match. SOUND ON THE TERRITORIAL QUESTIONS. Springfield Republican. The Republican platform is sound on the territorial interests, asking that territorial offices be given to the residents of tho Territories, that aliens be prevented from acquiring largo tracts of land, that railroad land grants, in case of breach of conditions, and of no attempt to fulfill, be forfeited. HE WILL BE ELECTED. Kansas City Journal. Blaine is too great a man not to be elected, and he has not only all the elements that command his party’s support, but those characteristics of person and service that make him especially not so much the Republican party’s candidate as the people’s. He will be elected with New York, or without it. DOES NOT DWINDLE AT THE TAIL. Philapelpliia Press. The Republican ticket does not dwindle at the taiL The boys who went marching down to the sea with Sherman will turn in for one of Sherman’s ablest lieutenants. General Logan’s long experience in the Senate gives him special qualifications as the presiding officer of that body. PRESIDENT ARTHUR’S EXAMPLE. Buffalo Times. If every Republican will follow the noble example) of President Arthur, whose hearty congratulation upon Blaine's > elory is found'in our telegraph columns, Blaine will certainly receive the unites support of tho party at the polls. CARTOONS CANNOT HARM BLAINK. Augusta (Me.) Chronicle. The merciless cartoons did Blaine no harm. They may have helped to nominate him, though. Blaine is a brilliant man of genius, a dazzling politician, audacious diplomatists, splendid orator, and popular and magnetic strategist. WIM, THE DEMOCRACY CHALLENGE THE TARIFF. Philadelphia Record, On the tariff question, if the Democratic party fails to pick up the gauntlet thrown down to it the succeeding contest will be rubbed of all interest. It will be a mere struggle for the spoils. MEETS THE ISSUES BOLDLY. Milwaukee Sentinel. Tho platform is long and rather diffuse, but its declaration of principles will receive tho hearty support of tho party. It meets the political issues of the time boldly and unequivocally. IT WILL BRING THE GERMAN VOTE. St. Louis Fost. This platform will bring the German vote, conservative and intelligent always. Tlio Foreign Press. A NOTABLE EVENT FOR ENGLAND. Pall Mall Gazette. Blaine’s nomination is tho most notable event for England since Lincoln’s assassination. Wherever Blaine can oust the British from the ignition they hold outlie American continent he will endeavor to replace English influence and trade by American. His menacing intimat-kC* and his disregard for the Clayton-Bulwer treaty is an evil augury for future relations between England and America. His intervention in Peru was most ominous when lie declared that he disliked England to win commercial triumphs in fields legitimately belonging to America. England will watch with extreme solicitude the progress of the campaign. THE PARTY HAS HONORED ITSELF. London Time*. Blaine’s nomination will be received with satisfaction. Not only has he been the most popular candidate. but the most conspicuous and respected politician in the ranks of the Republican party, which done itself honor by the nomination of so well-known and distinguished a man. If the Democrats could make up their minds to a definite and reasonable free-trade policy they certainly would secure more sympathy from this side of the Atlantic than hitherto. In the meantime we congratulate tho Republicans on the choice of a candidate so eminently suited as Blaino to represent aud uphold the dignity of the United States. BLAINE’S POPULARITY WITH THE IRISH. Chicago Bpceiul to London Standard. Among tho principle causes which brought about Mr. Blaine's success were, first, his popu larity among American Anglophobists. and secondly, his great popularity among the IrishAmericans. His groat strength among tho Irish voters is due mainly to his activity while Republican leader in Congress during the years 1807, 1808 and 1809, in forcing England to recede from her claims of allegiance upon Britisli-born sub jects who had become naturalized as American citizens. This activity was developed in the case of Augustus Costello, who, with a large number of other Irish-Americans, including General Denis F. Burke, was arrested in Ireland and tried for utterances made iu tho United States. Costello was arrested while in Ireland in 1807, and placed on trial for a speech made in New

York, while an American citizen, in 1805. which was construed as treasonable. Under the act of 1848, which especially declared England's right to punish upon British soil British born subjects for treasonable utterances or performances made upon foreign territory, Costello was sentenced to sixteen years penal servitude. His claims of American citizenship were ignored upon tho ground that there was nothing iu any treaty existing between the United States and Great Britain debarring Great Britain from claiming as a British subject any person bora or British soil. Costello was removed to Miitbank prison. Blaine organized a congressional agitation, which resulted in thf* liberation of Costello, and all his colleagues who possessed full American naturalization, and in the treaty of 1870, in which Great Britain surrendered all claims of allegiance from British subjects who became naturalized as American citizens. Blaino is given by the Irish the full credit of extorting this treaty from Great Britain, and of enabling Irishmen, by free agitation, to form American opinions as a factor in coercing England to deal justly with Ireland, without sub jecting themselves, as formerly, to arrest and punishment as traitors. Blaine also, it is be lieved. secured the incorporation in the Chicago platform of tlio declaration in favor of legislation prohibiting aliens from acquiring fee in American land, a principle lie adopted from the platform of the American Irish liana League. For these reasons he will secure tho support of the League and draw the bulk of the Irish vote from tho Democratic party. Blaine’s Panama Canal policy has endeared him to the masses of native Americans. Suing the Penn Rank Officers. Pittsburg. June 7. —Over 200 depositors of the Penn Bank filed a bill in equity, this afternoon. against tho officers and directors of that institution. The bill charges that, by reason of the negligence and carelessness of the officers and directors of that institution, a sum more than sufficient to pay the just claims of the depositors was squandered, and. for the same reasons. the defendants are liable personally for the full amount to the depositors. President Riddle’s bail was reduced this evening from $1,000,000 to $39,000, and R. S. Stevenson, representing the depositors, signed the bail bond, and he was released. The depositors will now take steps to have Riddle testify against the directors iu the civil suits. Eno Will Return to the United States. Montreal, June 7.—The United States government has asked for the extradition of Eno on a charge of forgery. The cashier, ledger keeper and messenger of the Second National Bank, of New York, who gave evidence before tho grand jury there, are now on the way to New York to testify. The demand for the extradition was made on the Dominion Cabinet, who at onco communicated with tho provincial attorney. The latter directed that the papers be sent to Judge Monk, of tho Court of Queen’s Bench, Montreal. The judge received the papers this morning, and signed the warrant this afternoon.
