TKRRB HAUTE, JUNE 14, 1884

IF the angel Gabriel were nominated he would not be acceptable to the "reformers." They wpuld object to bis taking bis born.

GBOROK W. CURTIS, editor of the '^Harper's Weekly, who stood foremost in the Chicago convention, has put his jumper against the election of Blaine.

THB Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette maps out the plan of the campaign in the following accurate manner. "Cheer and cry and shout and call

Howl aud bellow, screjim and bawl Yell and shriek and whoop aud squall Keep it up until the fall."

IN the highly artistic woodcuts of the Chicago Convention, which adorn the various newspapers supplements, the Chairman is represented as vigorously pounding the table with the gravel in his left band.

ONE feature of the campaign is aLeady decided upon. In all thesongs,''Logan" is to rhyme with "slogan." In all the twenty-five or thirty psems that have already appeared there has not been a single exception.

GUSHING young ladies, who spend the summer at their parents' country place, tie wide ribbons around the necks of the cows. Before the season is over they will gild the unhappy animal's horns and ornament them with daisies and buttercups done in oil.

THB Mail throws up its hat for Voorhees and sincerely hopes the present talk may materialize into his nomination for President. Anything to give Terre Haute a boom. And in case of his election we nominate Hon. John Lamb as Minister to England.

THB Connecticut Legislature voted down all bills relating to woman suffrage even refusing them the privilege of voting on school questions. At the same time both branches of the Legislature voted promptly to restore the franchise to sixteen rtialecriminals most of wbom had been in the penitentiary, \'Vf

Since a New York justice has decided that a man must take his own and not some ether fellow's wife on pic-nic excursions, these mild recreations have lost all charms for the married man. He will now give his whole attention to torchlight processions, for here, at least, be will not be expected to take his wife.

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS in bis letter to the Massachusetts Reform Club, concludes by saying, "If we fail at the Democratic Convention, then, as the Italian forestlerl, we must meet together in the sylvan shade and rxatno uivu.- xusi la the very best thing Charles Franois and his Reform gang can do, let them take to the woods

AN English vicar has complained to the department of education that cbil dren of Ave years are compelled in the schools to learn all about the properties of rhomboids, trapezoids, pentagons, parallelograms, etc., when they cannot even pronounce the names. The same complaint may be made in Indiana except that the children are seven years of age before, the geometrical cramming begins, -o.

WHAT a boon to the newspapers and orators is Ingersoll's speech nominating Blaine at th$ Cincinnati oonvention. It is a most valuable campaign document. Its eloquence, its oratory, its fine com parisons, its beautifully rounded sen teuces are so complete and perfect in their way that they form apart of every speech and editorial. It is impossible to keep them out. They fit right in and give a finish to the most commonplace production. It is safe to say this little speech will be quoted from more extensively during the coming campaign than any ever made before or since.

VRNNOR, the great Canadian weather prophet died last Sunday morning, at the age of thirty-four. There was a general impression that he was much older than this, as tradition always pictures weather prophets grinded and gray, making their prophecies from the bottomless depths of their own experience. Vennor has left a number of dire prognostication*, beginning with a terrible storm on the 19th of September. After 'these are all fulfilled some one will make out a new list to worry the credulous and superstitious, for there seems to be a peculiar fascination about the profession of a weather prophet.

latter la wel that It materially increases his own chances for the nomination. The most prominent candidates now are Bayard, Cleveland and McDonald, though other names are mentioned. It teems to be pretty generally conceded that If an JE»*--n man gets the first place Mr. Mc- laid will have the second, white his -h«nees for the first place are good If I a Western man is to he taken. It i» yet some three weeks, however, before tint*

"THE PLUMKD KNIGHT" Already it is manifest that the campaign of 1884, is to be one of nnusnal vim and vindictive*:ess. By the nomintion of James G. Blaine, the Republicans have challenged, not only their political oponents, but all who have charges to make against "the Plumed Knight," to come forward and say all to his discredit that they can. They have proclaimed their willingness to meet all such charges and to make good the title of their chief to the high regard in frhich the great body of the party holds him.

As to whether or not he can be" elected opinions differ but there is no dissent from the opinion that he will not be beaten easily. Even the Democrats concede this and their leading journals advise that the very strongest tickets possible be put forward if it is the expectation to defeat the one already in field. Blaine is a brilliant, gamey man of great fertility of resources. Under bis skillful management the campaign is not likely to lag, or to lack fire and enthusiasm. He will keep the political firmament ablaze #rith his pyrotechni cal displays. There will be rockets of many kinds and colors sent up. It is in politics much as it is in war the lead ers of dash and, brilliancy are followed wherever they choose to go. Such men were Sherman and Sheridan.

It is this dash and splendor which has so long made Blaine the most conspic uous figure among our modern statesmen. He has the ability of Sherman and Edmunds without their intellectual coldness and lack of personal magnet Ism. He is regarded more than any other pulicman as the typical American as the truest representative in politics of the hopes, aspirations and purposes of the great Republic. It is felt that if elected to the Presidency he will not perform the duties of that exalted po sition in a perfunctory and routine manner, content to follow in the beaten track which others have made for him but that he will have original ideas of his own upon many important questions and will p/oceed to put them into prac tice. It is true that while this fact will prove a tower of strength, it will also be a source of weakness. Already the "money grubs" of the East have sent up the cry that the business interests of the country will be endangered by the election of Mr. Blaine, and some in flu ential newspapers in that section have declared that they will not support him His friends answer this charge by say lng that he has been a prominent and trusted leader in his party during its entire existence, and has been always right on all great questions that Garfield's confidence in his safety called him to the highest place in his cabinet

Undoubtedly the people of the great West pre for Blaine. The Pacific slope is wild for him and the great states of Iowa, Kansas, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and others, cast their unanimous vote for him in the convention. The West is greater than the East. It has greater breadth of thought and depth of conscience. It is less conservative and conventional. The truest sentiment of national life is to be fonnd west of the' Alleghanies. Blaine has the vigor and enterprise which catch the western hearts It is felt that be is a large man, in head, in conscience and in heart that he has faith in, and love for his county that he doesn't ape the aristocracy of Europe, or think that everything they do, and make and say, Is better than the things done and made and said at heme. It is felt that be is an American, filled with pride for his country, and with a sense of the proper dignity and respect in which she should be held by all other nations. It is felt that if Blaine is made President some thing will be done towards giving the country a decent navy and that we will own some of the ships which do the carrying trade of the world.

Blaine will particularly attract the young men to him. They will find much in his leadership that will inspire aud win them. They do not care much for the old questions which were settled long ago. They waut a policy that is abreast with current thought and that deal* with the practical questions of the day. BUtne, in their opinion, will stand for such a policy.

Blaine will also attract a strong following from the Irish. They admire him because they believe his pluck and daring is able to cope with England and that his policy as President will not be in the least controlled by British opinion. He will also draw strongly from the floating element who like to go for a more brilliant and aggressive leader.

On the whole, while Mr, Blaine has some elements of weakness in limited sections of the country, he has much general strength and it will not be a picnic piece of business to beat him.

TERKE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAI T.

Now that the Presidential nominations on the Republican ticket have been settled, there is increasing interest in State politics, which is farther deepened by the near approach of the State Convention. The chief anxiety is to get an available candidate for Governor. The contest between Calkins and Dudley appears to be a close one, particularly since the trouble between the latter and Noble in Wayne county is understood to have been settled so thpt Dudley shall have the solid vote of that county. It is feared in some quarters that both of these candidates are to some extent vul nerable, and there is talk of taking up a new man. Th6re has been difficulty so far in concentrating upon any one man the latest talk being of postmaster General Gresham. Having declined the Vice-Presidency, however, it is not likely that he would be willing to accept the nomination for Governor, though he would undoubtedly make a strong candidate.

MR. BLAIXE'S letter of acceptance is being awaited with some degree of interest. It is expected that the document will be quite readable.

David Davis is not so ponderous in physique as of yore, having lost nearly one hundred ponnds since his retire meat from the senate. He wears a full white beard and a black slouch hat, and looks more like a well to do farmer from the corn-belt of Illinois than a retired statesman and jurist.

A physician got up in the Pennsyl vania State Medical Society, the other day, and said that there were more rabies from rum than from mad dogs If a man dies from hydrophobia it is announced all over the world but if hundred die of alcoholic convulsions, almost like those of rabies humans, nothing is said about it.

Story by a Wall street broker: "Ten years ago I knew a man who had $11, 000,000 and seven children. One day 1 asked him why he did not retire. His answer was: 'I have eleven millions, want just twelve, because I have seven children. My wish is .to give each million and keep five for myself.' That man died in a tenement bouse, and his children are working for £l a day."

Remarkable Care by Dr. Beard.

Last September Jno. Pennington of Lebanon came here for treatment for paralysis and registered at the Henderson House on south Fourth street.

One side and particularly one arm was paralyzed and useless to him and he had also a loss of speech and of memory, so much so that he bad forgotten bis A C*s. Dr. Beard, the magnetist, treated him for a week and he went home entirely well and rejoicing. Talking about the affair to a Gazette reporter Mr. J. Z. Keaton, proprietor of the house, said "Pennington went over to Wahler's and waa able to hold out a ten pound weight at arm's length. His memory was alBo rapidly returning, and he went home well."
