However; pt is noteworthy that now for the first time he Is supported by the mass of politicians as well. Candidate "in '76, and striving with mighty ambition in a turbulent convention; used by friends and foes alike in '80 to make" Grant's third nomination impossible;' nominated in '84 when the edge of keen desire was dulled and defeat was presaged; repeatedly declining in '88, when victory wis clearly impending it appears that throughout his steady growth in Intellectual power,- from "politician" to statesman, the coveted honor has approached nearer and nearer as he has ret reajtod. Hardly an Eastern vote y in the 'convention of 1876 the East and. West join hands. "Gath" says the history of New York politics for fifteen years can be learned in the efforts to tepross in the Empire State the popularity of James G. Blaine. And the 14st State Conventien showed with whajt tremendous success: Six hundred and ninety-fiv- e delegates for Blaine, seyenty-eigh- t against! A Mugwump (in1884) said during the balloting: "Toi nominate Arthur is to court only temporary defeat;..Blalne, defeat and destruction. Blaine, however, has the traditional nine lives of a cat. So, about foul year3 later, we see him the most belcjjved member of a Republican' Administration which he had led to victory, having supplanted the strongest Democrat leader of modern flmes.

Now, it is true this alleged "dictator"! performed a real patriotic service to (bis country in overthrowing the tyrann'y of filibustering. Here was an evil rapidly destroying the primary principle upon which our institutions are founded, the right of the majority to rule. This is the essence of that controversy and the country so understands It. (In the December number of the North JLmerican Ttevieto appear jseveral letters showing that the almost! unanimous custom of Continental Parliaments is in conformity with Reeds rulings.) Nevertheless, Mr. Reed's enmity to Blaine wili not be found effective until endorsed by the people of Maine; in which State, it may have been observed, the Reed I bull has never lingered In front of the Blaine locomotive.

Blaine's administration of foreign affairs has effectually allayed all ancient fears as to alleged rashness or Impetuosity of. temper. Never again will he be decried as a "bull in a china bhop" alarming the commercial interests in the large cities, but on the other hand, all the that pertains to the J'njto strengthwill revert to hlf benefit. I venfeeling ture to say, were the impending Eurocarpean war to break out to international complications rying every court in the world, that our people would render thanks that a man so able to watch over our Interests and protect our honor is seated! in the Premier's chair." In 1884, Mr. Blaine undertook to elevate the campaign! by introducing the tariff Issue. But at that tlme JLhe assault on the tariff had only been foreshadowed. I wish to lay special stress on this point, since it was. the absence of any real political issues that opened the way for the campaign of personal villification that followed: Four years later the anti-tariagitation made Harrison's election comparatively easy, and now the strength of the Republican position on this issue will be Blaine's even more than It was Harrison's. Especially n moderso since the former's ation of views would hold thousands of luke-warprotectionists who would be driven by the nomination of an extreme man squarely into the Demohigh-taricratic party. Still weightier In his favor - to-morr- ff well-know- m ff Is the ; . V. ?' RECIPROCITY : POLICY. ; This gives him a grip on the farmers of the United States that no one else enjoys.'.

And still others comfort themselves that anyway It is a doctrine "Democratic." Now let the Democratic mathematicians get together and add the above equations, Strange to say, one result-is Democratic free trade ant is this: is a humbug." .All this is very funny.
