Blaine, of Maine, nominated by tl«o Heptiblic.tns of the United States In convention at Chicago, as tbelr candidate for tlia highest |>o$ition in tlie gift of any peo- pie, was born In IVnnsylvanla. Jan. 31 sr. 1830. His great grandfather was Co'inmissary General of the revolution­ ary army from 1778vto 1783. His grand father iuid father were both men of education and culture, and traveled exienslvely In foreign countries. Mr. Blaine himself litul a thorough intel­ lectual training In bis youth, having been graduated lit Washington College at the-' age of seventeen years and eight months, in a class of thirty three members, among whom lie shared the first honor with John C. Hervey, now superintendent of public "instruction at Wheeling. After graduating Mr. Bfttine taught a while as college tutor in Kentuckev and reniisylvania.wrote for periodicals and studied law. In 1853 he went to Maine, where he edited the Kennebec Journal , and afterwards the Portland Advert iser . In 1858 he was chosen to ttie Legislature, where he served four years, the last two years as Speaker of the Hnuse. At the age twenty-five he was a leading pewer in the councils of the Republican party, and before he was twenty-nine he \rn& chosen chair­ man of the executive committee of the Republican organization iu Maine. This position he held for twenty years. In 1802 lie was chosen as a represent­ ative in Congress. It is not necessary tliat we should at­ tempt to give our readers a history of his public career since that time. On the floor of the House, in the Speaker's chair, in the Senate, at the head of Garfield's Cabinet, on the stump and platform, with his clear, positive and emphatically pronounced opinions,with his genile sociabilty and his remarkable personal magnetism, lie haseverbeen the favorite of the people. Repeat­ edly they have demanded that he be put in nomination for titer residency, but a's often the power of political machines has foiled them. At the death ef Garfield, Mr* Blaine retired to private life, and has since been quietly engaged In literary pur­ suits. Again the people ceustitutiug a clear majority of tlie Republican party have demanded that he should be their stMitdard bearer, and, without lite in­ fluence of patronage, making absolutly uo eflort himself to secure the nomi­ nation, not replying to one of the up­ wards of seven thousand letters he has received urging him to be candidate for ntiinination, but calmly awaiting the will of the people, he hHs been nominated by the sp.>ntaneo««^iprising of the musses of the party, who bejieve iu Itini. The augury is a good one, The same spontaneous enthusiasm among his admirers which gave liltn the nominal ion, will follow the standard they Ititye- placed in hands to victory. As to Gen. John A. Logan, unai l- inously named by the convention for the second place on the ticket, we only* take space to say that his record during and since the war is such as to demon­ strate liis worthiness in all respects to enjoy the confidence and sutlrages of the united party. He has always been the soldier's friend and favorite, and our civilian veteran soldiers will vie with the civilians In tfie party who are not veteran soldiers, to do him lionor. More Cow, I.«at> Motf. ThU is the talk with which A shrewd, experienced DeKalb county tanner startled a Sycamore paper the other day. and we were Wondering whether or no the talk would apply in McHenry county. Said the farmer: "I think we are going to have a cold wet summer and another poor corn crop--and on the whole 1 think it best that we should." "Best that ive should {"exclaimed the newspaper man. "Why, we have al­ ready had poor com crops for two years. Here are DeKalb county farm­ ers who have paid $1,000, and some of them #1.500, for corn which they would raised if favored with better seasons. Another such a year will discourage and embarrass them. How can it be best?" "It is best w« should," placidly pro­ ceeded the farmer, "because It is only by this means that our farmers will be persuaded to stop raising grain and get their farms,into grass. A farmer here­ abouts can hardly have too large a por­ tion of his land into gra«s. The pros­ perity of DeKalb county agricultural­ ists lias heretofore besn based on raising corn and fatting hogs. But. ttlie hog is a slippery uncertain foundation. The better foundation is the cow. Our farms are worth 8150 an acre if k?pt iu grass and pastured with all the cows it can carry. It is easy to show that they have paid a haud-ome interest on that sum where dairying has been the great interest and the dairy litis been well managed. It is doubtful if we can com pete in raising corn and hogs with Kan­ sas and Nebraska, where lands are wortli $3.00 an acre. When hogs bring last winter's prices, we might do it, even if we have to send to Kansas for enrn; but next year they may be down to 82.50 per hundred and where will we be then? Dairying is business tor our country, and If it costs us no more than the loss of three corn crops to findit.out.it will he knowledge . ob- ia'iiMMi about u» tta Wis •Jin ex­ pect." l.aoK^ng Home 1'lstanCe Ahead. The easiest way in which a conject­ ural result of the Presidential election can be reached is to divide the electoral votes by States, North and South. It it very probable that Blaine and Lo­ gan may carry some Southern States. It U possible that the Democratic candidate, whoever he may be, will carry some Northern. States. By classifying the States, North and South, however, an estimate of the re­ sult may be made more intelligible. The following table shows the ;tot»! number of Presidential Electors in the two sections: ; . - SOUTHERN STATES. . . . S:\e lira ska 5 .. . :i N't>vinlii.. . . . . -'I IMNL-W Hampshire*;.,. 4 . . .82 X c w J ers.ey. ii-.. .. 5 ...IftiNcw York .. . . . . . ... | :S Ohio i-l . . . iliOrejron. 3 rt, Pennsylvania....... 30 California.... . . . .

Total ot all the States . . . . . . lA-'t 401 It will require 201 vites, being a ma­ jor! toy of the whole electoral vote, to effect a choice for President in the Electorial College. If Blaine and Lo­ gan should carry all the Northern States they would have forty-seven voles more than it Is necessary to se­ cure the election. What Northern States are doubtful? By the nomination of Blaine. Ohio is taken out of the doubtful list, where it might have been classed had other candidates been nominated. Some esti­ mates of the result class Connecti­ cut as a douutful State, but it is a:i evi­ dent error. With the single exception of 187C, Connecticut has not gi ven a majority for any Democratic Presi­ dential candidate since 1852. It has sometimes gone Democratic at State elections, hut this has been an. infre­ quent even in recent years, and the Re­ publican majorities have been con­ stantly. incieasing. With Blaine as a candidate, California • is no longer a doubtful State. The only Northern States that can be claimed as doubtful are the followin TutMHitrtr. nv Nt»w York New Jersey... K m ̂ - f t ' f t - f r , J L V wf*rtpf wjpppp 3K Total Doubtful AO If these States should all be carried by tlie Democrats with the solid South, their candidates would be eleoted. It is highly improbable, however, that the Democrats tvlll carry Indiana. It is not probable that they can carry New York. With a free-trade platform they will lose New Jersey. On the other hand, there is reason to believe that. Blaine wili carry Nofth Carolina and West Virginia. But for the Kukutx and rifle clubs he \Vould carry Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and South Carolina. Tennessee is a doubtful State, There are e.iough Northern settlers located in Florida to make It a Republican State. Blaine and Logan might lose all the doubtful Northern States. go-^alUd--Indiana. New Jersey and New York--and still be elected by the votes of Southern States, which are as truly Republian in sentiment as is Vermont, but in which popular mnjoritit-s in the past Have been repassed and destroyed by ter­ rorism and violence.--Journal.
