not survive the first ballot. He can't be
nominated. The dissatisfaction in the New

BLAINE ABLE TO RIDE OUT. Hr,t} i i
telegram received here tins evening
H'a'es that Mr. Blaine has SO far recovered
Il 10 te able 10 be outin carriage. Whi le
'h'r" are some who are inclined to bclieYe
mat this Is but move to work fayorablei
eject III his behalf, and that he is really not
much improved, the news strengthens the
Blaine men and gives them more than ever
reason TO believe that his attack will in the
tnd prove rather ahelp than an injury.
BE,ine's opponents have not scrnpled TO
Circulate the report that he is permapentlyl
disabled from active participation in poll
tics, and they say they have some evidence
10 substantiate their reckless assertion.
