CZ3 he gailtf tfottuw. ASTORIA, OREGON: FRIDAY.. OCTOBER 2L 1884 THE SECRET OF BLAINE'S SUC CESS. The unprecedented success of Mr. Blaine as an Ohio canvasser has had the not unexpected result of calling much attention to the man personal ly, and in spite of all that his polit ical enemies could do to affront him and destroy the effect of his appear ance and speeches, he has made friends by the thousand wherever he presented himself. Yet, for the most part, he has eschewed, in his speeches, the active discussion of the political questions of the day, trusting to that indirect consideration which, consist ing as it does, in the laying down of those vital principles which are the foundation stones of all political dogmas, is not only more dignified, but is far more convincing to all but the lowest classes of an audience likely to gather to listen to a polit ical address. But it will be noticed by those who have followed the great Eepublican leader in his tour through New York, Ohio and Indiana, that although few direct references were made by him to fundamental Eepublican doctrines as such, not a speech was pronounced that did not have a definite point in view, one that oould be understood by every auditor, and the force of which could be felt in an instant by the .most stupid as well as by the most intellectual. At one time, it is the wool question, and how it will be affected by a change of administra tion; at another, it is the iron inter est and the benefits that have been conferred upon it by the measures taken by the Republican party; here it is the wonderful growth of a given section of the state and how that growth was the result of measures for which he fully claimed party credit; there, it was the natural re sources of the county and how those resources might be developed by proper encouragement; yonder, it was the brilliant war record of a section that prided itself on having sent its thousands into the field dur ing the great struggle for the sup pression of the rebellion. In eveay speech there was an adap tation to the time and place that ren dered that particular speech peculiar ly applicable to that particular crowd. and herein was seen the skill of the politician. Men mav talk as much as they please about magnetism, but whatever of this quality is possessed oy .Blame is due more especially to his ability to say the rielit thin a at the right time, and in a wav that will make it both intelligible and accept able to all bearers. The 'wonderful store of political information possess edbjrhim has been taxed no little during the present tour to provide inmgs new and old for the entertain ment and instruction of his numerous and varied audiences, but it has proved equal to the strain, and the results have more than justified the expectations that were raised on the announcement of his purposed visit to the doubtful states. TO1..1 - uui, passes ior magnetism is therefore probably nothing more than rare good sense, a perfect knowl edge of the political situations in each section of the country thst he visited, and an ability to make the best of the opportunity. These may seem like very ordinary qualities, but, as Carlyle says, common sense is real ly the most uncommon kind, and an ability to make use of opportunities as they arise is given to few men. It is certain the apparent results in Ohio are far from being insignificant, and unless some quite unusual ele ment is introduced into the canvass there, and that this week, that state will cease to be doubtful in any sense of the word. A new religious revolution is threat ened in Russia. The white czar has for many generations been recognized as the religious as well as the political head of the state. In the autonomy of Russia he is the pope of popes as well as the king of kings. No pope or metropolitan can hold his office without the seal of the czar, and the czarina at the coronation ceremony Kneels to tbe czar, not in his capacity as an emperor, but as the vice-regent of God. Now, however, a sect of dis senters has risen which threatens to overthrow this believe in divine so lection. The dissenters have their headquarters at Moscow, and they have thousands of adherents through out the empire. They are not nihi lists, and they do not seek to subvert the existing governmen t. They sim ply discard the religious ritual used by the loyalists and they deny the religious supremacy of the czar. It is stated, however, that they are com mitting acts of fanaticism which will make them subject to the severest Pnal laws of Russia, and they will thus be crushed out of existence as other religious rebels have been. The chairman of the Republican county, executive committee of Cin cinnati has tbrought a libel suit for $25,000 p against the Cincinnati En quirer for charging him with bring ing negroes there for the purpose of illegal voting at the late election and drilling them to answer the questions propounded. ' The Republican state ticket has an average plurality of 19,730. The to tal vote is 780,373. Johk RajtdoiiPh's denunciation of Henry Clay, in a secret session in 1825, was so scathing that the victim could not answer, but sought revenge through a challenge. Randolph, pointing his long finger at him, said: "This man (mankind, I crave your pardon); this worm, (little animals, forgive the insult), was raised to a higher life than he was born to, for he was raised to the society of black guards. Some fortune, kind to him. cruel to us has toBsed him to the secretaryship of state. Contempt has the property of descending, but she stops far short of him. She would die before she would reach him he dwells before her fall I would hate him if I did not despise him. It is not what he is, but where he is that puts my heart in action. That al phabet that writes the name of Ther- sites, of blackguard, of squadity, re fuses her letters for him. The mind which thinks on what it cannot ex press an scarcely think on him an hyperbole for meanness would be an eclipse for Clay." The Paris correspondent of the London Telegraph states that the court at Peking has offered, through the Washington government to pay 85,000,000 to compensate the French for their loss not as owing to an er ror, but in order to smooth the way for a settlement The correspondent says that Ferry considered the offer too smalL America is so satisfied with China's attitude, which she re gards as worthy of defending, that Secretary Frelinghuysen has declared his inability to understand the reti cence of France to agree to an ami cable settlement of the difficulty. At the funeral of a wealthy China man in Carson, Nev., the other day, the chief mourners throw small par cels done up in rice paper from the carriages as they were going to the cemetery. A small boy opened one of the parcels and found that it con tained a dime. In a moment the street was alive with boys of all ages, who fought with each other like bashi-bazouks to get the parcels as they fell to the ground. Altogether nearly 500 dimes were distributed in this way at the funeral, and the peo ple are more than ever convinced .that the Chinese must go. Beecheb is defending the Demo cratic presidential candidate from the attacks on his personal character. He publishes a lettei that Mr. Cleve land wrote to Mrs. Beecher wherein he alludes to the Halpin matter as "the affair which I have not denied." Mr. Beecher intimates in conclusion that he has a fellow-feeling for the governor as he knows how it is him self. Tno3. A. Hendbicks is making speeches in Illinois. He denies that the Democratic party is a party of free trade, and holds that its doo trines and purposes are to reduce the tariff to the wants of the government economically administered. That is A 1 doctrine, no matter who utters it; it is the correct idea, but hasn't the Democratic trade-mark on it, Black Jack is stumping the sucker state. Some one tried to throw the train that ho was in off the track last Thursday near Peoria. It was a close call for the Bapublican vice-presidential candidate, but he was not to bo thrown from the track nor his sub ject and talked that day to some pur pose, making thirteen speeches. The Oregon Railway and Naviga tion Company have determined to ap peal Judge Deady's decision to the United States supreme court, and will refuse to operate the narrow gaujre lines after the 15th of next month. The Oregonian Company (the lessors) will also refuse to operate -or re-take possession of these lines. Mayob Kichman, of Sedalia, Mo., was elected to his office as a joke, because he was the heaviest man in town 410 pounds. He accepted and made such a good official that he has twice been re-elected. A little fun in politics is sometimes a good thing. Rev. Newman Hale says he had no idea of the enormous size of this country until after traveling west ward at least a thousand miles he reached St. Louis, where he was dumbfounded on being asked if he intended to go west. Pbikoe Matohboh, the field mar shal of Dahomey, has been tried for high treason and sentenced to be "buried chest deep in the earth, and shot at by Amazons till dead." M Mb. Gladstone is accused by polit ical enemies of being ike a concert piano always grand, but neither square nor upright. Of such is the malignity of politics. So far three attempts have been made during the campaign to physi cally injure the candidates. The at tempts at moral injury are innumer able. Tee registration in San Francisco runs over 51,000, and the Bulletin charges that the registers are stuffed to the extent of 5,000 or 6,000 names. Blaine is magnetizing the Hoos iers.
