Harrison editors, contains con-tains the following editorial: "It is do violation of conliilence to say that Secretary Sec-retary Hlaiue is not a candidate for the republican nomination for president next year. That is a settled tact. Not only is Mr. l.iainn not a candidate but uuder no circumstance will he consent to the usn of his name. If there seems to bo any doubt in tho mind of the public in reference to this matter, Mr. Blaine will in duo time and his own way, utterly, finally and absolutely dispel that doubt. He is ready to do so now. When Mr. P.Iaino was called to the most important place in the cabinet he wrote in reply to tho preident's better tenderiuj? the appointment (which letter let-ter clearly outliued the president's views) a statement that distinctly implied im-plied in the clearest terms his unquestioned unques-tioned and unbending leally to the head of the administration and by no act, word or intimation has Mr. Ulaine at any time since left his loyalty open to the slightest susicion. Mr. Blaine by virtue of his position, is the chief and most intimate ailv ser of the president. presi-dent. If the latter will accept a reuom-in'ation reuom-in'ation he will have no stronger, abler and more constant supporter than his secretary of state. So much for a prediction pre-diction that the history of the immediate immedi-ate future will amply jusiify." |
