Tho Sentiment of Varions People and Papers on the Nomination, Flowers Budding Into Bloom as Demooracy’s Candidate, Some Secrets of the Late Chicago Convention Coming to Light. How Blaine Could Have Been Beaten by the Arthur Men, The Vice-Presidency, and What Jresham’s Chances Were. Logan's Candidacy, and the Hole it Made in 1llinols' Politics, PRESS COMMENTS, * A BEACONSFIED BEYOND THE SEA.” Loxpoy, June 7.—Under the heading, A Beaconfield Beyond the Sea,” the Pall Mall Gazette says : ** Blaine’s nomi- nation is the most notable event for England since Lincoln was assassinated. Wherever Blaine can oust the British from a position they hold on the Ameri- can continent, he will endeavor to replace English influence and trade by American, His menacing intimation and his disre- gard of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty is an evil augury for the future relations be- tween England and America. His inter- vention in Peru was most ominous when he declared that he disliked England to win commercial triumphs in a field be- longing to America. England will watch with extreme solicitude the progress of the campaign.” WHAT THE THUNDERER THINKS. The Times says: *‘ Blaine's nomination will be read with satisfaction. Not only has he been the most popular candidate but the most conspicuous and respected litician in the republican party, which K:A done itself honor by the nomination of so well known and distinguished a man. If the democrats could make up their mind to a definite, reasonable free- trade policy they would certainly secure more sympathy this side of the Atlantic than hitherto. In the meantime, we congratulate the republican party on its choice of a candidate so eminently suited as Blaine to represent and uphold the digoity.cf the United States.” Chicago Tribune (rep.). The nomina- tion of James G. Blaine is the triumph of popular sentiment. His nomination will be received with acclaim as a long deferred tribute to his great abilities and en.inent statesmunship; but it has a _sig- nificance far beyond any personal cou- miderations. It is an evidence that under the rules and practices of the republican party, of which district representation in the national convention is the most es- sential, the popular will of the party can- not be defeated. No living American statesman ever filled tho hearts of the American people more completely than Blaine dces. The martyrdom of Lincoln and Garfield has won for them a peculiar veneration which no man in life can hope to attain. But Blaine has reached the highest place in the public esteam, Blaine is an addition toall his personal claims is the legitimate successor to the popular confidence which Garfield’s brief administration inspired. As Garfield’s premier he was almost as conspicuous a figure as Garfield himself, and he was the originator of a continental American pol- icy which was the most striking and brilliant of Garfield’s administration. No presidential candidate ever had a better assurance of election than Blaine has to- day unless it was General Jackson or Thomas Jeflerson. Wi IN. Milwaukee Sentinel, (rep.): It is known that the Sentinel did not favor the nomination of Mr. Blaine for the rea- son that it believed there wera several other gentlemen urged as candidates equslly qualified and more available; but in the selection of candidates the majority has a right to command, A party or- gadization is impracticablo when the right is denied 8t. Louis Republican, (dem.) Mr. Blaine is well known to the coun- try. He is neither an insignificant nor an olbscure personage Ho has been be- fore the public for more than twenty years, a5 member and speaker of the house, United States senator, secretary of state and three times candidate for the uomination which he has received at last —and his rec rd, good and bad, is protty familiar to hus countrymen, 1f he is not the ablest man in the republican party, he has few superiors in this respect in the party; and he is by all odds the most popular favorite on the republican side. Indeed, the warm attachment of the masses of the party to his person ob- scures their vision to his weaknesses and his defects; and, while he is clearly en- titled to the honor now accorded to him by every rule of popular preference, it is the most unfortunate nomination for the republican party that could have been made—for, now that the protractod and interesting struggle is over, we can say what ie would not have been prudent to say before—that of all men_before the republlcan convention Mr. Blaine was the choice of the demo- crats for their antagonist; he is the man of all others whose nomination they de- sired; and that for this sufficient reason o NORTH CAROLINA l A BTH AELA L o S BEE. NTH YEAR. i e OMAHA, NEB., MONDAY MOR NG, JUNE 9, 1884, NO. 306. ho is, by the admissioa of high repnblican authorities, the man most easily beaten. Nay, ho is the man whose defeat is al- ready assured; for, it is admitted that he canniot carry Now York, the state whoso vote will decido the contest, He repre- ropresonts sharply the polioy of high pro- tection on the tarifi; he represents what maybo called a war policy with England and Erance on South and Central Ameri- ca questions; and his public record is marred by unfortunate and indefensible relations with railroads which give cause to the independent republican organs of Now York for asserting they will never support him. : ; Democrats are more than satisfied with the nomination of Mr. Rlaine. £t. Louis Globe-Demox The stress is over, and the uame of James G. Blaine, like that of Abou Ben Adhem in the vision, ‘‘leads all the rest” Upon his shoulders at last has fallen the honor which has been the am- Dbition of his whole 1ife—to his hands has the ropublican standard been intrusted for the campaign which is to decide what volitical principles and which of the two great parties shall control the administra- tion of the government during the next four years. The name is not an obscure yne, the candidate_is not stranger, and not an accident. No other man in Amer- ican politics, perhaps is so well known to the masses of the people; aud the events of the last few days have demonstrated that he is the unmistakabie choice of the republican voters of the country for the greatoflice to which it is now the duty of every sincere and loyal member of the party to help to olect him by a rousing and splendid majority. It is hardly necessary to say that Mr. Blaine was not the first preference of this paper. Thers seemed to us to be reasons why some other man would have been stronger, particularly in doubtful and vital localities; but we must have judged mistakenly, Yesterday, Mr. Blaine was simply an_individual, to be passed upon for a certain use and object; to-day, he stands not only for himself any longer, but for the heroic and votent organization that has declared him to be its *‘leader of leaders” and 1ts bright par- ticular champion., His personality has ceased to be a question for republicans to dispute about, or to deal with otherwise than as the verdict in his favor requires. He passed the sort of scrutiny that is de- cisive and complete, and he is the em- bodiment now of those beliefs and hopes, those doctrines and purposes, by virtue of which the party has achieved all its glories in the past and upon which de- pend all its chances of prolonged exis- tence and usefulness. The Ulinois Staats Zeitung (Rep ): The convention has done its work. Pas- sion and prejndice have triumphed over reason. Blaine, of Maine, has heen se- lected as the pugilist to knock out the democratic nominee. How this fight will end it is not in the power of any man to tell, while itis not vet known who the democratic candidate will be. The time when a Jepublican nominatian was equivalent to an election has passed away forever. To-day the nomination of that party only sjgmifies tho beginning of a campaign of very doubtful result. 1f the democrats should nominate a man like **Horizontal Morrison” the probabil- ities would be stronglyin favor of Blaine’s election, but we do not hesitate to say that such a man as Governor Cleveland. of New York, James G. Blaine, with all his boasted magnetism, would hardly be able to defeat. The great enthusissm for Blaing will most likely be limited fo those 'whose candidate he was from the start. Those German citizens who have generallyacted with the republican party do not show much of this enthusissm. This nomina- tion leaves them very cool and collected . They will quietly wait to see who the democratic party will nominate before takinga decided stdnd. The indepen- dents who clung 8o tenaciously to the Vermont iceberg are to be pitied. By many of them it was solemnly announced that in case Blaine should be nominated they and their friends would wage open war upon him, Will they do so? Will Curtis, Roosevelt, and Schurz take the stump against Blaine or will they make their peace with him? There are inter- esting questions to which answer will come in due season, The German-Amer- icans of the country, whose independence is sincere and who wish a wise, honest, economical, and conservative administra- tion of our affairs, will calmly await the action of the democratic convention, and they say: “May the best man win,”" NEW YORK. New York Sun (dem.). A great many republicans are opposed t) Mr. Blaine, but those who imagine that be cause of that dieaffection the country is now to witnesr a spirited canvass and an easy triumph for the opposition are, i our judgment, very much in error. 3 Blaine is a fertile and sensational poli- tician and will force the fighting from the start, New York Commercial Advertiser (rep ): President Arthur can afford to be beaten by the elements which have pre- vailed at Chicago, If the opinionated reformers, the cow boys and the star route gang did not openly clasp hands to compass this result, they worked for a common object. Uan the party success- fully fight through a campaign in which it must be constantly on the defensive! Can the upright and intelligent voters of the party be persuaded to support Mr Blaine? 1i the man the convention has chosen to supplant Fresident Arthur can approach in dignity, purity and in pat- riotism the administration we are now to loge, he wiil do no more than the best judges of events aud character have thought to be possible, The New York Times, (rep ,) under the caption, “Facing the Fires of Defeat,” says: “‘It is best after all that James G Blaine should be the candidate of the re publican party. He represents the average of republican principles and pur of the republican honor and con- nce as thoay now are. The party had its eyes open. 1t has taken this stop not in the dark, but in the broad day light. There will be nothing ambiguous about the defeat of Mr. Blaine. He who runs may clearly read the verdict in advance *A candidate unworthy of confidence, and a party too careless of its own honor to be longer trusted with the nation’s,” The defeat will be the salvation of the repub- lican party. The Times will not support Mr. Blaine for the presidency, it will ad- viso no man to vote for him, and its rea- sons for this course are perfectly well un- derstood by everybody that has road it New York Star (Tammany organ): Blaiue's nomination was brought about by coalition of the worst elements of the republicans, Iu looking ahead, however, the Star is not rash enough to aftiem that even Blaine will necossarily be defeated by any body put up in November against him, He will command, practically, un- limited resournces, for the monopolists and jobbers who anticipate favors from him will contribute lavishly to his can- vass. Finally he will be fervently sup- ported by those workers of his party who will not stop to reflect whether a smart roguoe is not unworthy to be the chief mag- istrate of a great and 1ntelligent nation, New York World, (dem,): The nomi- nation of Blaine and Logan is clearly the result of a shameless political bargain and represents the triumph of the most mercenary and worst elements of the republican party. The vote of Logan decided Blaine's nomination. The vote of Blaine nominated Logan in return, The New York Herald, (ind.): Al- though every man who cares for the pur- ity of public life and the welfare ot ~the country must evidently regret a nomina. tion like this, yet there has grown within a day or two in many circles a sentiment that will regard the nomination with a certain grim sense of satifaction. Indig- nation of decent opinion at the ever- recurring nuisance of the Blaine candi- dacy, a revolt against the open shame. lessnoss of the Blaine men and their methods, and all their schemes of carry- ing things with a roar, and not by rea- son, has made men feel that at least there was perhaps but ona cure for all this, which was to have the Blaine ele- ment carry the cenvention and nominate their man, and then see the man and the party buried out of sight by an over- whelming defeat at the hands of the people. All have felt that they have their cure before them, and thoy may at last congratulate themselves that they are now indeed in a fair way to have done with Blaine forever. New York Tribune (rep): James G. Blaine has been nominaced by the people and will b elected by the people. For a quarter of a century no other candidate has been more cleurly preferred by the voters. Mr. Blaine is the strongest can- didate the republican party could have nominated, because he best represents its correctness. The nomination of Gen. Logan for vice president was also es- pecially fortunate. The ticket cannot be beaten. Albany Journal, rep. Blaine’s nomi- nation makes the republican party invin- cible 98 an exponent of progressive ideas, and its courageous action will be worthi- ly led by a man whom it has honored with its approval this day. ILLINOIS, Chicago Inter Ocean (rep.): Contrary to the hopes and wishes of the Inter Ocean the republican nstional convention has placed in nomination for president James G. Blaine. As the convention is the highest party authority we bow to its decision, and, #s a soldier in the great republican army, fall into line’and catch step with the advancing column, We are not ashamed to express regret that our own candidate was not successful, but the cause of good government and the success of the principles of the re- publican party are more important than the advancement of any man, however worthy or deserving; and it wss for these that we enlisted in the service long ago. Chicago Times: The presidential can- didacy of Mr. James (i. Blaiue isa men- ace of evil to the republic. Of all the citizens that were proposed to the essem- bly of partisan electors yesterday, and of all whose names have been mentioned in connecrion with that office, Mr. Blaine is the least fit, the least trus worthy.

N THY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, The following gentleman have been 10! jaroling added to the republican national execu tive committee : Senator J. Jewell, of Now Jersey; 8. M. Yost, of Virginin, and Church Howe, of Nebraska, THE PACIFIC COAST. Nine members of the California dele- gation were to-day appointed a committee to visit Blaine and Logan and assure both of the support of the entire Pacitle Coast. The committee loft for the east to-day. A DEMOORATIC DASH HORSE, DARSHIEMER POSING, Speclal to Tie Bre, WasHINGTON, June 8'—It is suspec ted by democrats here that representa- tive Darshiermer, of New York, is posing for the democratic nomination for presi- dent and that Dana, of the New York Sun is managing tho case for him, This will explain the recont publication of Dashiermer in connection wiih Tilden's declination. It i now genorally believed that the stoay of Tilden having written a letter declining to permit the use of his namo before the democratic convention is not true, and that it it was invented to assist one of Tilden’s competitors, DLDDING FOR THE BLACK With a shrewd perception of sound polioy the democratic leaders have deter- nined to make some public demonstra- tions on behalf of the colored rhee to se- cure, as far as _possible, their allegionce tothe “Old Ticket” in the southern states-—some of the democratic congress- men have thrown ont intimations that something of the kind would be opper- tune from a New York standpoint. Ac- cordingly General Roger A. Pryer is to address a mass moeting of colored people some eveniug neat week. GREETINGS TO BLAL ONE FPROM MRS, GARFIELD, Avausta, June 8.—Congratulatory telograms have continued to reach Blaine during Fridaynight and Satnrday.

It is supposed to bo the work an incendiary, as when the alarm was given the fire was bursting from the centre and both ends of the round house, which contained twenty stalls, Nine engines were destroyed, No. b, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 15, and 16 of the Des Moines and Northwestern, All the machinery and tools in the repair shops, together with one passenger coach, were &utmyed.

They are at the other end, and the Des Moines and Northwestern has only one engine not destroyed. Two Wabash engines had been run in a short time before, and these were run out, but three cabs were burned, and when the last one got out the fireman got badly burned, and had to be taken to physicians, AN IRISH VIOTORY. Spencer Prohibits an Orange Meeting and Allows a Natlonalist Gathering, Dunrix, June 7.—Earl Spencer has is- sued a proclamation forbidding COrange- men to make a counter demonstration to the nationalists at Newbry to-morrow. A number of infantry, lancers and police are assembled there to preserve order. Father McCanlan advised his congrega- tion to attend the nationalist meeting. Tho stopping of the Orange counter-dem- onstration is regarded as the greatest concession to the Irish nationalists for lifty years, There is intense excitement among Orange organizations. Thousands of Orangomen have arrived at Belfast from England. Geddis, secretary of the Orange committee at London, has sent the following: “‘I leave for Ireland to- pight with 5,000 Irishmen from London, Manchester and Liverpool.

No Disturbance by the Government— A Small Row With the Urangemen, FORE! NEWS, ENGLAND AND KGYPT, Special Dispateh to Tie Bee, LoxvoxN, June 8.—It is very apparent the present English government is rapid- ly weakening in its attitude upon the Egyptian juestion, 1t is oven evident that the ministry ie seeking to find some honorable line of retreat from its recent- ly positive declaration in favor of exclu- sive control. ~ This state of affairs is at- tributed to the aggressive attitude of France, which means to insist, in the coming conference, upon joint control. Italy will back up France, and by the time the conference assembles it is be- lieved England will be fully prepared to accede gracefully to the claims of its partners in Egypt. The government's weakness in this respect is intensifying the contempt in which the ministry has long been held by the tories and conser- vatives, but the opposition is practically powerless, because 1t has no leaders. RUSSIA AND ENGLAND. Much uneasiness has been caused among government officials in London by the latest imperial utrerances from St. Potersburg. This is attributed to a grow- ing 'belief in Russia that England is gradually retiring from its foreign poli of empire extension. Russia has formal- ly announced that it has decided to aban- don its recent intention of evacuating Central Asia, and has proclaimed her in- tention to extend her Asiatic frontier. This announcement contains for England a stinging threat, being coupled with the declaration that Russia believes it will be better for England to confine her ener- gies in the east, in the future, within the natural bounds of India. The Czar's ad- visors go to great pains to assert that Russia has no designs on India, but it is impossible for Englishmen to believe the Russian statesmen are not engaged in constant intrigues in that direction. rm STARVATION IN ENGLAND, LABOR SUFFERING IN THE NORTH, Special Dispatch to Trx Brx. LoxpoN, June 8, —Thomas Burt, who represents Morpeth in the house of com- mons, and perhaps the only true expon- ent of labgr in that body, expressed him- self very freely to a correspondent re- garding the present great depression in the Ihlp%él‘lg Industry in north of Eng- land, *‘The ship building trade uf north Englmd is practically at a standstill,” said Burt, ‘‘and there probably never has been a time in its history when the out- look for improvement is as indefinite and uncomforting, as at present whole fleets of large steamers are lying idle in the Tyne and on the Wi Ship building, in the old sense, has almost ceased as an industry, and thousands of persons are unemployed, and the distress and I?tlltl want of food and shelter are fearful in extreme. The labor organization, usually strong in the north, are wholly unable to answer the calls upon them for the re- lief of those fow mombers who have man- sged to retan work, being unable to meet the demanas made upon them. The distress in Sunderland is particularly marked; many hitherto well-to do fam- ilies have had to apply to the authorities for relief.” ANDREWS’ RYING TOHOLD DOWN' 'EARL BAKING POWDE!
