We know in him. ‘The record of Blaine is the record of the party, All that the party promi in its platform to do, Blaine has been doing all his life. There is nothing milk and watery in the platform, and nothing milk and watery in the candidate placed upon it. Ilis election next November will be doubly significant. It will be more an endorsement of the principles of the party than of an individual member of that party [t will be the endorsement of one who is a believer from the bottom of his heart in Republican principles, and it will be the triumph of character, ability, and sterling worth over political chicanery and the faint hearted * ratting clement which more than any- thing else tended to bring discredit upon Republicanism. ‘To return to our contem- porary’s endorsement—Blaine and Logan re names which stand forth as ideal Repub- licans—men identified with every battle fought by the party, and who have always stood in the fore-front where the hardest blows were given and received. It is a com- bination that electrifies the country and starts a wave of enthusiasm which will carry the nominees into power by one grand resist- less impulse. DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS. In the absolute refusal of Mr. Tilden to accept the nomination for the Presidency at the hands of the Democratic convention, the party out of power have lost their strongest name and well nigh their only chance of effecting a change in the incumbency of the White Hous ‘There are plenty of good Democrats left, not only willing but anxious to accept the nomination and ride a course with the Plumed Knight; but, however estimable they n be, they are not Tildens. The Republican convention has presented to the country an almost ideal ticket; it would be difficult to take an exception to it and almost impossible to beat it; yet, if its defeat lay within the bounds of possibility, Samuel J. Tilden was the man to lead the forlorn hope for the Democrats, ‘The deeply rooted conviction which remains in many minds that Mr. Tilden was cheated out of his fairly won victory eight years ago, would invest his candidature with a sentimental side, a sort of make-it-up-to-him-now feel- ing which would be worth many a vote to the Democratic ticket; besides which, he is a man who stands deservedly high with his party and is looked up to and respected out- side of politics, We do not believe that Mr. Tilden could beat Mr. Blaine, yet still less do we believe that in Mr. Tilden’s absence any other man can accomplish the feat. Truth to tell, the Democrats just now are not very rich in men of sufficient character, ability and popularity to bead a successful ticket.

In accomplishing a great deal of good to the community, Mr. Cleveland has done a good deal of damage | (politically speaking) to himself, He has estranged the bosses and the bosses are nearly enough to beat him, ‘The curtail- ment of aldermanie rights and privileges in New York city was a measure of needed reform; but politically viewed, we question its expediency—that is, if Mr. Cleveland contemplates running for President. Then we have Flower—’tis but a little faded Flower which we cannot expect to see bloom up into a Presidential plant; and, indeed, Hoadley is not much better. No; the fact remains that with the with- drawal of Mr. Tilden’s name, Democracy lost its strongest available candidate. Aas! what boots it now?” ‘The poct, it is said, was indebted for this graceful bit of inspiration to seeing young Doodworthy exited through the front door and down the front steps, sans hat, sans style, sans leisure to suck his cane. James wants to know why the old Romans called their senators the ‘conscript fathers.” Well, you see Latin is such a queer lang that it wouldn’t have been gramma iy correct to have called them the conscript grandmothers. ‘The United States language is different. “Noli Me Tangere."
