In 1884 Blaine received 182 electoral
votes and Cleveland 21937 majority. In
18SS, with his good, honest, patriotic re
cord, Cleveland ought to beat the badly
'tattooed man" from Maine at least' 100
votes. The popular vote was 4,848,334

No Blaine's "particulars."
It is now said that Blaine is in the
hands of his friends. Truly has actions
and his letters, which have been published,
show him to be a real enigma. As we
have said before, we believe he wants the
nomination for the presidency. And we
opine that his conduct has been deliberate
ly planned with a view to securing the
nomination. It looks very much like he
thinks there is a powerful sentiment in his
behalf in the country, and thinking this, he
has thus maneuvered to get the nomina
tion in such a way as to make the impres
sion he didn't want it; and that in accep
ting it he would show his devotion by a
great condescension. He thinks so much
of himself.

The only speech that was specially pre

Shenck. It is represented to have been
elaborate, learned, able and eloquent We
are gratified to leard that the distinguished
speaker proved to the satisfaction of his
auditors, that the stigma of cowardice,
which in tradition and history has attached
to the North Carolina malitia on that cru

careful and complete unfolding of hitherto
