FOR PRESIDENT,
JAMES G. BLAINE,
of Maine.
FOR VICE-PRESIDENT,
JOIIN A. LOGAN,
of Illinois. .
JAMES G. BLAINE,
lu all the arts of management out
side of those which strictly pertain to
politics, and Blaine inen have also beeti
immensely superior to their adversaries.
They have won many delegates by
kindness whom the others have either
not sought at all or repulsed by cold
ness. There seems to have been sc Jie
thing in the high dictates of the reform
which forbid the association of the
champions of superior political meth
ods with the men who came here niere-
vfj nominate a president. The result
hia been a count of about fifty win
nings for Blaine, with a corresponding
number of losings from the other side,
Then, too, the local atmosphere has
been full of the name of Blaine, and
his managers have contrived to send
the assurance of victory close in the
wake of every mention. The enthusi
asts support of Blaine daring
this convention finds no parallel but
one in American politics. Grant's sup
port in 1830 was more dramatic and
moie spectacular, but it was not more
earnest than Blaine's support in 1884
Tl.ea again, the opposition to Grant
was bold, aggressive and uncompromis
ing, while the opposition to Blaine ir.
weak, divided and hesitating. If the
men who arepushing Blaine through
this convention will carry into the
campaign before the people one half of
the enersrv and determination which
- ti
they have displayed in Chicago the
denioratic party will be carried once
more to perdition ou the resistless cur
rent of enthusiasm. As to his record
jou might as well try to stop Niagara
by reading an act for the regulation of
mill ponds as to beat such a candidate
by quoting the Mulligan letters. St
Louis Globe.
DONE BY "A. SIMPLE TWItsT
OF
THE WRIST."
New York Sun: "It was as good as
a circus," saia bergt. Alulhouand. 1
was walking along Broadway this
morning when I saw a black-and-tan
cab coming furiously up Murray street
The driver seemed to be doing his best
to stop the animal, but it was unman
ageable. A tall, well built man, who
aia not see tne runaway, was crossing
the street. Everybody cried out to him,
but the horse was close upon him be
fore he saw it. Quick as thought he
put out his right hand, seized the horse
by the ii'trils, gave a sudden twist,
and the runaway was lying fiat on his
side on the crossing. The cab driver
Was too much astonished to say a word,
and the stranger picked up his hat and
walked off as coolly as though nothing
La I happened. I learned that he was
Mr. Lemuel It. Sturges, the owner of a
cattle ranch in Texa;. lie knew a
trick the cowboys have of throwing a
steer by giving its head a little twist.
He practiced it on Broadway, and that
runaway horse got a lesson that he
won't forget if he has any sense."
A REMARKABLE TREE.
A man in Wilcox county, Alabama,
has a remarkable tree growing in his
yard. It is of the China species, is ten
feet in circumference, and its top has
bsen blow away bya6torm; but six
and a half Vrt up the trunk of thia
tree two n:t e China trees have sprout
ed, taken 5 ct, and grown up as high
as the oM tre; ana just half a foot
farther up the trunk of the old origin
al tree a pencil tree has taken root,
grown op to fair dimension, and is now
filled with i'ruit. At another place
there is a blackberry vine and also an
elm bush, all in a flourishiDgcondition.
Parlor and bedroom sets in all stylea

TnE republican party has spoken,
and the man of Maine will be the next
president of the Urited States. It is
the will of tho parly that no dark
horse, no unkown quantity, no nega
tive candidate, be called to leadership,
but that the party be captured by a man,
who in right of his own reco.d and his
own character typplfiea tho virile, ag
gressive and progrc stive (urces of re
publicanism. Republicanism has been
a name for victory and proud achieve
ments for a quarter of a century, be
cause in it men of such mould and sub
stance as James G. Blaine have found
recognition. All that the republican
party has done to make it 3 record the
grandest possession of the American
people, Buch men as James G. Blaine
have caused it to do, and no man in
more liberal measure than lie. it is
this identity between his public record
and the historic iiccomplimeuts of
the republican party,- that stand like
milpHf-.nnpq in I.Jir history of the nast
Vtweuty-five years of national progress
this instinctivity recognized kinship
of Bpirit and aspiration, joined with a
personality of commanding forceful
ness and surpassiug attractiveness, that
has so long made James G. Blaine the
object of enthusiastic admiration of the
great body of the rank and file of tho
party. The ifhcontrolable enthusiasm
which broke over all bounds of self
restraint iu the convention at every
mention of his name, and which finally
overpowered ail resistance in the con
vention, was no temporary spasm, no
mere accident. In tho conventions of
187G and 1880 the spell of the name of
Blaine was almost equally potent. The
only satisfactory explanation of the
action of the convention is that it is
the response to the irresistible force of
the de3ire of the masses of the party.
Never before in the history of the re
pbblican party, or any other party, have
the impulse that controlled a conven
tion come fresher from the people;
never ha3 there been less of arbitrary
interference from boasism; never has
there been freer conference and a firmer
determinatian to avoid prejudgment
and to reach deliberate conclusions,
apart from mere personal prcfe.H nces.
Tmw Pu.11 ?Ic;i Qt.25.tti dooj not bake
kindly to the nomination of Blaine. It
does not say a word as to his character,
but makes his foreign policy a subject
of considerable comment. The repub
lican party is not naminz candidates
iaat at present with a view to satisfy
ing our English brothers, neither is it
naming candidates who will approve or
work for the English theory of free
trade in America. Nothing will
recommend Mr. Blaiue's candidacy to
our aaturalized voters so much a3 the
brilliant and aggressive foreign policy
that he inaugurated in the early days of
the Garfield edministration. The Irish
Amen can citizen of this country see
in Mr. Blaine's past course enough to
satisfy them that he abova all others is
the person to protect them in their
rights abroad. It is easily understood
whv the election of Mr. Blaine is
viewed by English journals with soli
citude. His election will mean an
aasertion of America's greatness, of
iustice to her citizens abroad, and of
tho doctrine of non-interference of
foreign powers with the aff-iirs of the
powers ou thia continent. Omaha Re

COINC MIGHTY FAST.
Detroit Free Press: Ve were goinz
west on the Great "Western Division ot
the Grand Trunk, aud the night was
chilly for the latter end of May.
"Hi! porter," said the commercial
man in the buuk overhead; ''caa't you
give us another blanket ? It's deuced
cool tonight."
"Ain't got another blanktt boss."
"Well, just see what you cau do for
a fellow," said the c. m., putting his
hand out through the curtains with a
quarter in it.
"Dunno, boss, but I'll do what I
kin."
There was scarcely a prcccptible
pause in the porter's measured tread
as he passed our section fifteen minutes
later, but the curtains parted and a
blanket went through the opening as if
it had been shot out of a cannon.
"Thought I felt somebody earring off
part of my bedclothes last night." eaid
a passenger in the further end the
car as lie worked himself into his boots
in the morning.
"Dunno, boss, went mighty las' las'
night, making uptime; probably run
from under 'una."
. Emerky A. Stokics, In an open air
r.itlfic.ition meetlnir in Chicago after
the nomination of Blaine and Logan
closed his speech .in the following elo
quent mannei :
"Now, gentlemen, you are go'.ng to
bo escorted from this place by a band
of music. Music is in all the air. I
feel its old pulsings in my very voice
tonieht. I know what this fels like,
and I know what the awakened excite
ment and enthusiasm of a great and
inizbtv party indicate. I hear the old
soncs of tho old days. I 6ee the old
flag, with every star glistening like a
planet. liUiuir all the Bkies. I see the
old procession formed. I care not
where my place in that procession may
ne whether it be up in tne iront, un
dtr the light of the blessed old banner
or down near the rear 1 Helen to ine
order 'Forward." ' and I march, as yoa
will march, with your faces toward the
flag."
