James G. Blaine.

Iv is to be regretted that many journals, including a large number of those published in Canada, are misrepre senting and maliguing the nominee of the Republicans for the office of President. Fair play is a jewel, prized in the United States as well as here; and we should not be much surprised if the result of all. the reviling will be Mr. Blaine’s election The tactics pursued at the present time will almost certainly drive to the support of Mr. Blaine that great factor in populer elections, viz., popular sympathy. And this is the more likely from the fact that in the United States, as in Canada, the} best abused man is usually the best man. Indeed, it will—as the London 7 mes, in its most recent criticism of the political situation in the States, says,—"“be

curious if the selection of Blaine, who possesses greater ability than any other presidential can |

didate, with one or two exceptions, since the earliest days of the Republic, should result in the defeat of the Republican party after an unbroken ascendancy of a quarter of a century.” That Mr. Blaine was the choice of the great mass of the Republican party is evident, and it is admitted he did not seek the nomination. It was distinctly understood that he had no desire for the honor. He has been for a long time, and is still, busy on an historical work— “Twenty years of Congress’—a period from Lincoln to Garfield, the first volume of which appeared ia April last. Never before had the people been so truly re- presented at a National Convention. The delegates to the late Chicago Con vention had been chosen through prim- ary meetings of the mass of the Repub- licane. Heretofore it had been the practice for squads or cliques of office- holders, or a small number of wire- pullers, to meet and appoint delegaces to state and national conventions, called to nominate candidates to state or national offices, Four years ago the attempt was made to force ihe nomination of Gen. Grant for a third term by the unit rule. Mr. Blaine was then the most promin ent candidate next to Gen. Grant; but as the Grant phalanx, the recowned 303, remained solid, the opposing elements in the convention united on Garfield. Mr. Blaine had also been & candidate four years previously,but im both cases the politicians prevented an expression of the will of the people, and in both instances Mr. Blaine was de- feated. Before the Convention in 1880 broke up, it was decided that a new rule for the election of delegates should be adopted, and that each Congressional dis- trict throughout the Union should choose delegates to the National Conventions, and that each delegate should be free to vote for the man of his choice, thus con- demning the unit rule. A word respecting this unit rule may not be out of place. The unit rule was a favorite thing with “machine” politicians. It enabled the few to rule the many, and made it easy for a few audacious me. to nominate the met of their choice, as it prevented a free expression ofthe opinion or will of the delegates individually. The system had got to be something of av unwritten law ; and at the Chicago convention of 1880, for instance, Corkling and others in New York, contented that because a majority of the seventy-five delegates (about forty) from New York were in favor of Geo. Grant, the vote of New York should be given as aunit for Grant. Gea. Logan, who headed the Illinois delegation, which showed a majority for Grant, also advo- cated the unit rule. Had the rule been made absolute, then Gen. Grant would have received the nomination. Opposition to the rule caused much bad blood, and, as we have already said, the Convention decided that for the future each delegate should in Convestion vote as they individually pieased, and that the National Committee should issue calls: for the next Convention (which has just met and nominated Blaine) in accord- ance with the resolution agreed upon ; and to do away as much as possible with “Bossism,” and to give ex- pression as much as _ possible to the will of the people, the delegates should be chosen by the primary assemblies of the party. Under these rulings the delegates were sent to the late Convention directly by the mass of the Republican voters, and a large majority of the delegates were in- structed to vote for Mr. Blaine. He is, undoubtedly,personally, the most popular man in the United States, and is a majority candidate.

Of Mr. Blaine, the London Times, a paper which stands at the head of the journals of the world, and is careful io its utterances, says, regarding the nomi- nation of Mr. Blaine: “ Beyond all question he is the most conspicuous poli- tician of the Republican party, which

possession is never lost. He has appeared

State, and is an exceedingly popular and atfective campaign orator. His faculties | have a keen edge; his memory is remark- | ably retentive; and his practical knowledge

of men and affairs has a broad range. This

comprehensive knowledge, broad rather

than deep, is one of the secrets of his popu-

larity. He knows men from one end of the

country to the other, and he knows what

they are thinking about.”

Mr. Blaine is the possessor of a hand- some fortune, acquired through shrewd aud prudent management of a valuable coal tract in Pennsylvania, which he has owned for the last twenty years.

N. B. & P. BH. I. Methodist Con-

rerence OPENING OF THE 12TH ANNUAL SESSION ELECTION OF OFFICERS —OTHER BUSINESS

PRANSACTED.

The eleventh and last session of the N. B. and P. E. 1. Methodist Conference under the auspices of the Methodist Church of Canada, convened in the Centenary Chureh on the morning of the 18th inst. Sixty-six Ministers were in attendance. Rev. Stephen T. Teed, President, occupied the chair, Rev. R. W. Waddell acting as Secretary.

The election of a president was then pro- ceeded with. On the firat ballot twenty- seven votes were cast for Rev. John Read, nine for Rev. Robert Wilson, six for Rev. Joha Burwash, and the remainder scatter- ing. On the second ballot Mr. Read was elected, the vote standing: Rev. Mr. Read 30, Rev. Mr. Wilson 10, Rev. Mr. Bur- wash 8.

the president-elect being called to the chair, was warmly welcomed by the retir- ing president, Rev. 8S. T. Teed. Mr. Read returned his sincere thanks to the Con- ference for the honor conferred on him He need not say that he was affected by the vote; he did feel deeply complimented by it. Twenty-one years ago, under the finishing hand of Dr. Pickard, he had gone to his first circuit on the upper waters of the St. John. Good fishermen always fish down stream, and he had kept journeying eastward until he reached St. John, where he was now permitted to hold the con- fidence of the Conference. He asked the forbearance and help of the Conference in his efforts to discharge the somewhat peculiar duties of this session, the closing one of the present dispensation.

After three ballots Rev. Robt. Wilson was elected secretary. Rev. Job. Shenton was elected journal secretary on the third ballot. Rev. Messrs. Fisher and Baker were elected assistant secretaries. Rev. Mr. Chappeil was elected assistant journal secretary and Rev. D. D. Moore was ap- pointed reporter for the Wesleyan.

A letter was received from Rev. Dr. Stewart informing the conference that he could not attend the session on account of lameness, and suggesting that Mr. Dein stadt be appointed treasurer of the educa- tional fund.

Rev. Mr. Deinstadt was accordingly ap- pointed deputy and the letter writers were notified to reply to Dr. Stewart’s note, ex pressing the sincere sympathy of the con ference at his illness and regret that he was unable to attend the session.

At the Missionary Meeting held in the evening, the following report of the Mis- sionary Society was read:—‘*Ten years ago the mission work of thess Provinces was placed on a new basis. Prior to that, the Home and Foreign Missions were distinct, but they were then united. In the year 1884 another change takes placc, whereby the different bodies are made one and the labors greatly extended. During the past decade the contributions of the N. B. & P. E. Ll. Conference to this fund have amount- ed to $62,383.50. The amount received from the general missionary funds during the same period towards the support of missions within the bounds ef our own Province has been $84,812.39, showing a difference between the amount contributed to the general fund and the amount receiv- ed therefrom of $22,441.89. The sum con- tributed, however, does not include the amount of investments paid over at the time of the union by our Home Missions nor the amounts since contributed in the form of legacies, some of which have been quite large, which amounts form part of the in- vestments of the missionary society. Giving credit for the whole of these amounts, it must be a matter of regret to most thought- ful persons to find that a very large sum has been taken from the purely foreign field and expended on ground enjoying the knowledge of God within the limits of the Conference. Passing on, the rev. gentleman said the increase of mem- bers in China for the year was only seventeen, in view of which the chairman writes very regretfully, although the Word has been faithfully preached. The finances show an improvement on last year. The receipts from this Conference, last year, were as follows :—
