The Nominees.
In our humble opinion the Repub
licans have nominated fj?eirabifst if
not their strongest man. . But men
are not always voted for on the score
of their ability ; there are many other
considerations that arise to influence
voters and carry or loee an election.
We had all as well acknowledge in
advance that Blaine is a strong man,
a skillful manager,.and a trained tac
tioian, and as such, make our prepara
tions to meet and vanquish him. It
is never good policy to underrate the
strength or courage of an adversary.
It throw8v?B off our guard and ren
wh?n it is too late to remedy it. Let
ns rather allow that Greek will meet
Greek, and that we have a foeman
worthy of oar steel.
It ?B already being said by many
that Blaine lie the easiest man
of all the'batch to beat. That may
Or may not be. It will be well for
U3 if we find it so. Bntwe. had bet
te* not calculate with too much cer
Sainty -upon it. jj He will get no Dem
ocrats.' j That is sure. But he will be
about as apt to carry the solid vote
of his party as any of bis late com
petitora-Arthur, Edmunds or Sher

ample time to survey the field, lay
oar plans, and calculate the chances,

Tiie London Times on Blaine.
- .
LONDON, June 7.-In^?eading ar
tide discussing the results oT the
Chicago Convention the Times this
morning says : " Mr. Blaine's nomi
nation will be received with general
satisfaction. Not only has he been
the most popular candidate from the
outset", but he is^eyond all question
the most conspicuous and respected
politician in the ranks of the Repub
lican p'rty, which bas done itself
honor by the nomination of so well
known and distinguished a man. ' If
the Democrats could make up their
mind to a dtfihite and reasonable free
trade policy they wouid certainly se
core more sympathy rn this Bide of
Atlantic than has hitherto been
accorded them. Meantime we must
congratulate the Republicans on the
choice of a candidate PO eminently
suited as Mr. B;aine to reprepent and
uphold the dignity of the United
States."

A Sketch of the Vrtsidential Cl

James Gillespie Blaine, the Ki

United States, was born in Wasl

and was graduated trom Waehii
College at the age of 17. .

In 1853 Mr. Blaine went to ft
where he edited the Portland A

185S to 1862 be was a member o
State Legislature, serving for
years aR Speaker of the House,
most from the day that he asst
charge of the Kennebec Joum<
had great influence in the po
and policy of Maine. At 25 3
of age he was a leading power ii
councils of the Republican p
and before he was 29 he was cl
chairman of the State Executive (
mittee, a position which he has
ever since.
In 1862 Mr. Blaine was electi
Congress and was re elected, 1
term to term, until 1870 whei
waB appointed Senator to fill a vs

the attention of the House, and

In the Senate he took a promi
part in debate, and was recogn
as a leader, but his career there
cut short by his appointment as

The Free Bridge at Chappell
There nov; seems to be no longer
doubt on the subject of re build
and continuing the town of Cl
pells, at the old 6pot. To judge f
the fabulous prices paid for town
at the recent sale, one must inev
bly conclude that the people are
thusiastically in earneet. In
meantime the subject o? a free bri

by bringing a large portiou of E<:
field near to their market, is be
pressed and agitated with the Fi
earnestness, which means success

all the County Commissioners can
is to recommend the Legislature
pass an act, giving them power to

current years. It is now suppoi
that they will have asuffkient arno

bridge at Chappell's and the one

Commissioners of Edgtfield will lc
favorably upon these tree bridge p

very great benefit to a large porti
of Edgefield county. The citizei s
both sides of the river at Chappe
will aid largely in the building of t
bridge at that point-by privatest

EDITORS ADVEBTISEE: Aiken hi e
settled to her asnal summer du ll ru tr.
Every one seems to be tabing a net,
except the candidates and the farm- j
era.. But, in town, trade is at a stag- j
nation. The monied visitor has de
parted, and now the little business
done is to be squared up " when thT?
crop is made." The exceptionally
cool weather of the last few w??ks_?
has benefited us io keeping back the
Northerners ; but it has also kept
back the cotton crop to our di tri
ment. A poor rule that does .not
work both ways ! Cotton looks bad^
ly, and many complain of bad stands
Abundant rains are gibing us good
gardene, making the corn grow, and
supplying us with grass. Oats and
wheat are being harvested. The yield
in both ia short of full crops. Fruit
so lar promises well for a good enp
ply, aud our shippers are already re
alizing profits. Choice fruit is ship
ped directly North, while the inferi?-^
stock is sent to Charleston. The lal
ter is the best market for ave/age or
miscellaneous shipments. The pto
duce dealers there assort the fruit,
ship the best North and sell out the
bil ance to retailers and hucksteis.
One of our farmers makes a gocd
thing of his asparagus, every eeaecn
shipping North. He has gone into a
new venture, the Niagara grape. A
company furnishes the vines, he cul
tivaos them, not being allowed to
propagate from them, be sells the
fruit and divides the profits. This
holds good for five years when tie
vines become his property. The
grape originated in western New^
York, ia a white variety similar to
the malaga and is to come in compe
tition with the latter. Seme four
hundred odd vines are planted to the
acre, aud in full bearing will furnish
from fifty to sixty pounds of froir.
Last season in its native region it
brought twenty-five cents a poutd,
while other grapes sold from ten to
fifteen cents. There's money, but a!eo
a monopoly, in it, as one grower has
a cutain amount of territory around
him into which no rival producer can
plant a vineyard. The melon crop
bids fair to be. a bountiful one. I ti
will be a bleesing to the aforetaid
candidates, as they will "set 'em up"
for the crowd at the barbecues' after
" laying by" time. One of the fra
ternity told me recently that his aim
wa*getting to be of Sullivanic devel
opment and his palm& corny from the
constant diurnal "shaking" with the
dear people. This reminds me of the
band-shaking last Court here of four
ex sheriffs of your County, Moeers.

of John the B.*ptiat and John \

that service, as it was not a -peat
! of much or little loalw, but of
necessity of tr?iuing children in I
