PHILADELPHIA, May 25.-As already in
timated in the GLOBE dispatches Senator
Cameron is determined to take no part in
the Chicago convention and may not even
90 as a specta tor. The friends of President
Arthur who hoped that his return home
would give backbone to the Arthur cause in
Pennsylvania have been disappointed as he
seems unexpectedly well disposed toward
Blaine. The Importance of this statement
cannot be over estimated. 1t shows that
Col. Quay, who has been making stubborn
and gallant fight for President Arthur has
reckoned without his chief and
that Senator Cameron has returned
from Europe with an attack of
political ennui that may turn the tide of Re-
publican sentiment in this state. Prior to
his return the popular sentiment in Mr..
Arthur's favor was very strong, and was
growing rather than waning, but now the
local workers in his interest are doing moth
ing, while the Blaine people are making hay.
State Senator Cooper chairman of the state
committee, who was with Cameron all day
yesterday, said to-day: ''Senator Cameron's S
position in regard to the candidate is a very
clear one. He desires to take no part in the
contest. He positively declines to go as a
substitute to the Chicago convention. He is
of opinion, however, that Blaine will be nom
mated and can be elected without doubt"
''Has the conference contributed any SAN
! guine auspices to Blaine's candidacy"
''The Blaine forces are gaining strength
in every direction, and there is the most re-
assuring prospect" said the chairman.
Mr.. Blaine will probably be nominated at
Chicago by Pennsylvania, distinguished
independent politician, who is an able law
| yer and brilliant orator. The plan may fall
| through, but that is now the intention of Mr..
Blaine's friends. The nomination will
probably be seconded from the west. The
presence of Judge j. Fl. Baker, Republican
delegate at large from Indiana at the state
headquarters to-day, was also significant.
Judge Baker said that about two-thirds Of
the Indiana delegation would favor Harrison
on the first ballot with the remainder for
Secretary Gresham, on the second ballot he
thought Blaine would have a majority of the
Indiana votes.

The American association continues the
great puzzle to ball tossers. What the out
come will be we cannot predict. The
Metropolitan club is leading at this writing,
but it is not safe to wager that some other
will not urge it to retire down the list place
before the week ends. Several mines want
to bear away the pennant, and are laboring to
that end so seriously that the contest is a
most interesting one to witness. Although
Baltimore is now in seventh position, it
would be well for the other clubs to watch
its movements. 1t appears to be ambitious
and wonderfully strong st. Louis has
fallen away the past week in an unaccount-
able manner, and seems not to be playing

mously adopted.
ReSotU"d, That the time has come for the Dem
cratic party to reiterate and to emphasize the
traditional doctrine of a tariff for revenue only
that we denounce the policy adopted and
continued by the Republican party of taxation
for protection and commercial restriction which
has swept our flag and commerce from the ocean
restricted the development of our industries, i'm
paired the opportunities for labor, reduced the
wages of our laborcrs, and greatly increased the
cost of living for our whole people, and we de-
mand that the Democratic party of the state and
nation take issue squarely against the Republi
can party and their Democratic allies of Pennsyl
vania and Ohio on this great question.
Second. That we denounce the barefaced
effrontery of such associations as the so-called
wool growers association, who demand as the
price of their allegiance to any party that they
be permitted to transfer to their own pockets
without an equivalent, portion of the earnings
of their fellow citizens. This is robbery and
spolialion, and denounce it as such The
voice of this convention for president as first
choice, Tilden, second choice, Flower.

spirits from tho neighborhood. Some
have it that the Festival for the Dead was
once kept in the spring, when beans
wore young and generally eaten. When
tho memorial day was transferred from
spring to autumn, it would seem, the
custom Of eating beans was still con-
tinncd, but dried ones had to be substi.

beans are eaten, but only imitation ones,
OF sugar or chocolate. Biscuits made
in the shape of human homes are eaten
