HALSTEADON BLAtNE-
. Eight years ago I advocated the nomi
nation fur tbe presidency of General
Bristow and opposed Mr. Blaine inci
dentally.
Now I urn not devoting myself to
toil in favor of any particular nomina
tion, though my expressed preference
is Jolm Sherman: and I am not as
sailing Mr. Blaine, President Arthur,
Senator Edmunds, or Gen. Logan hold
ing them in high esteem.
Perhaps I have changed my policy, I
profess to have profited by eight year's
experience. .
During thosa years I have been more
deeply than ever convinced that there
is no reasonable hope of doing any
good w ilh ihe Democratic part ; and I
have lo?t faitlj m the efficacy of inde
pendent movement?.
have had a share iu the labor of
holding parlor coaaultatiocs with a
few excellent citizens with a view of
shattering both the great political or
ionizations of the country, and 1 cait
to spend my time to better purpose. In
this I see no occasion for pvblic regret
or private sorrow.
1 propose to support the Republican
N.lional nominations, and it eccurs tv
mc to reserve my strength until after
the proceeding of the convention. The
jjurnal with whir.li I am connected is
not at war with any of the enmiidates;
and I believe in the caue above them
all.
I am grateful to Mr. Blaine for his
iarge share iu ii fea'it g the third -term
:,jrgrcssion ; g-ilnsi American lepubli
canism. and I feel persuaded that in
the atmosphere of suspicion of 1870,
8 me ot us accept d too readily the
theory thst the smoke of accusation
against Biain? mexot that there must
be a hidden fire, soon to break out and
consume him.
'Whenever I attempted to' hunt up
tbe facts that were assumed to be the
fuel, they failed to materialize. 1
should not. if h were the candidate,
feel alarmed about his record. We
know all that can be used sgaiust him,
that it would be aa ineffectual before
the people at large as iu the republican
party, an I that there is no candidate
unasailable.
Mr. Blaine's enemieo, who are vio
lent and quoting themselves to tliow
that hard things can be said of him,
are nor impoi taut aud have mistaken
i heir mission.
I know of some matters in which Mr.
Blaine's assailants are utterly iu errror.
President GarGeld told that at the first
of his cabinet meetings he opened bus
ioess by saying to all, as he could do
at that moment without offense to any
they would get along peaceably only by
caret ully limiting themselves to their
own departments of duty. He said
Blaine acquiesced and complied with
the suggestion fully and cordially up
to that day it was the last day of
June, 1881.
And President Garfield said Blaine
was not responsible for the New York
appointments upon which Conkling re
signed; that they were his own, and
made under a sense of duty to his
friends and himself as the President of
the United StateB. upon.tbe belief tht
when the shock was over there would
be a better understanding.
When I compare my knowledge with
the charges current against jilr. Blaine
about thesj transactions aud eo often
repeated that refutation becomes te
dious, I am free to believe that he has
been falsely accused iu other matters;
and I know enough of thosa who are
making a busiues-t of hostility to him,
to b sure that if the lines were drawn
on them that ti ey apply they could be
m de unhappy.
I think our strongest candidate and
safest President would b; John Sher-
m tu ?J, aud I gladly give President
Arthur credit for his admirable ad
mlnietratlon, but I do not I eliera that
tbe millions 'if republicans who kindle
with enthusiasm at the name of Blaine
htve gone far wrong.' -
THE PARIS ELECTIONS.
' The Uiun'cipal e'ectit-n low pro
gressing in Paris are likely t' prove a
notiibl - event in the history of the Re
public, .Not o i y has the vo:e been
larg-r 'liin the ity has ever polled
he i rebut the Revolutionists have al
ready gaine 1 CO.000 votes over the elec
tion of 1881, aud th-J rauks of the
Rev lationi-ts inc:ude Autonomists, So
cialists i Anarcliists, CoLecavists, and
all classes hostile to the Republic.
TheirIjictory has. thi lime beon a
sweeping one, and the result has been
that the Republican party has substan
tially disappeared. On thu one Aide
Monarchists havo drawn from it and on
tbe 'Other tide the Revolutionists, the
latter to such an extent that the drift of
Paris is now- toward communism. Pa
pers of all sorts of political opinion
seem to be agreed upon the oue ccr -tainty
that the Commune will be es
tablished again, while the cooler and
sharper sighted organs unite in declar
ing that the only alternative left is
King or Commune, and that on the cer
tain rail s of the Commune the mon
archy will again ciimb to power.
Whatever else may occur as the out
come of the social und political com
plication', it is certi in that the reign of
the Commune wiil be brief anil disas
trous. Should it succeed in establish,
ing itself behind it? barricades f r a
little time, its overthrow will be speedy.
The farmers of Franc will march
aga nst it as tin y did before and extir
pate it in blood. It has no governing
eleme.it in its construction. It has no
wish for a govtrnmeut. It has i.o poli
cy but anarchy. Its purj ose is to over
throw the G jvc-rnment, the church.
and th lights of property. Hence it
aims at the rights ot the fara.ers, and
they will s.ssiil it with si force which
cannot be resisted, and suppress it
without mercy.
The question then is, Wid the Repub
lie be able to re S3 t itsju.tl ority on
the ruins of the I ommunc? This does
not lo.k probable i.- the R puMic is nc,t
str ng c to ugh t put aown the Com
muni's upr "ing; and it m st i ot be
forgotten t at ii is Repu licans them
selves who have aided the Commune to
achieve ts victo y at tl e polls. If t. e
Re ubli ' v: n o main : in its mp e n-
acy, and ir the C mm. ne is unable to

what folows but that the Monarchists,
who have very able leaders in the field,
w 11 improve their opportunity aud
8 ;iz'--iho reins of power again ? Is it
not t.'i logical outcome ot the situa
tion? Chicago Tribune.

"Yes," she said, 'our children arc
married and gone, and my husband and
I sit by our winter tire much as wc did
befoie the little ones came to widen the
circle. Life is something like a spiral
staircase: we are all the time coming
around over the spot wearted from,
only one degree furthes ui the stairs.."
'That is a pretty illustration, re
marked her friend, musingly, gazing
into the glowing coals which radiated
a pleasant heat from tbe mauy-wtn-dewed
stove. "You know we cauuot
stop toiling up the hill, though."
"Surely we cannot, aud for uiyBelf I
don't find fault with that necessity pro
vided the advance in life is not attend
ed with calam'ty or suffering, for I
have had my Ehare of that. Not long
since my health utterly broke down.
My system was full oi' malaria. My
digestion became thoroughly disorder
ed aud my nerves were in a wretched
state. I was lancuid, ate little and
that without enjoying it, and had no
btrength or ambition to perform even
my light household duties. Medical
treatment failed to reach the seat of
the trouble. The disease, which seem
ed to be weakness of the vital organs,
progressed till I had several attacks
which my physicians pronounced to be
acute congestion of the stomach. The
last of these was a desperate struggle
and I was given up to die. As the cri
sis had partially passed, my husband
heard of. the merits of Parker's Tonic aa
an invigorant in just such cates as
mine I took it and felt it3 good effect
at once. It appeared to pervade my
body as though the blessing of a new
life had come to me. Taking noother
med'uiue I continued to improve, and
am no a- in better health than I have
been for a long time."
