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.
