Show BLAISEMCORMICK It is not a union of the OTAGCFS and CiPULRT5 that occurred at Richfield Springs N Y yesterday so that we may reverse the malediction of MKKOTTJO and saya blessing on both your houses The union of EMMOXS BIAISE to the beautiful beau-tiful and wealthy daughter of C H Mc COUMICK is not a matter of national importance import-ance but it is an affair in which all parts of the country are more or less interested and is as such entitled to the mention which it will receive The father of the groom is and has long been the leader of the party at present in power in the United States JAMKS G BLAINE while the brides paternal parent was the man who more than any other I accomplished the divorcement of the farmer from the actual drudgery of his occupation oc-cupation and placed it on a higher better plane The nobility of toil through his wonderworking productions is a phrase amounting to something more than a mere generality it his become a realization a state of existence which we do not sufficiently suffici-ently appreciate because of intimacy and constant contact And he was as much opposed op-posed to the bridegrooms f fatherin politics as one pole is apart from the other He was a Democrat He had a decided following follow-ing for the vicepresidential nomination on the ticket with theNvroLEOv of modern politics SAMUEL J TILDEx The place was zlven to THOMAS A HEXDHICKS because be-cause as the convention understood and agreed the candidate for the second place should be if possible a man who was not inferior in-ferior to the head of the ticket McCoii MICK was as good a Democrat as any of them but he had not had the political experience ex-perience which the party at that time considered con-sidered that any man on the national ticket should have It may be considered by the more finical that it is invidious to refer to politics in such a connection Perhaps it is It might also by some of the more straightlaced bj said that a mention of the fact that the boy has a pa and tho girl a ma IB putting more into the record than tho occasion calls for and this may also be true But it is also a fact that as long as the event is deemed one of sufficient importance to justify the sending of the details to us by telegraph details in which even the raiment worn by the high contracting parties and their attendants at-tendants is made a featurethere should be no serious objection to considering cognate matters of much more importance to the general reader THE HERALD and nore of its readers look upon the happy event as a union of the two great parties which are now and for nearly a generation past have been contending con-tending for supremacy in this country not by any means Nor Would it or they have any such consummation at present because the best interests of tho nation na-tion just now demand that the parties be kept separate It ant they however how-ever can and do express their best wishes and kindliest feelings upon the occasion which brings together in the bonds of a sacred and lifetime alliance alli-ance the son of the great Republican and the daughter of tho worthy Democrat If the son partakes of the disposition of the father may the gentleness goodness persuasiveness per-suasiveness virtuous and exalted example of the wife be the means of reclaiming him from Ms waywardness and making him even as good as herself and her hon ored father if these agencies should fail may her stock of rollingpins be ample and their quality enduring Seriously and candidly we wish tho happy pair a blissful honeymoon an undiE turbed future and a lifes sunset whoso glories shall be undimmed by a thought of sorrow era tinge of regret |
