HarDersS Weekly

NEW YORK, June 1O.-The Evening Post
says that reporter from that paper visited
Harper & Bros. to obtain an authoritative
statement as to what The Weekly was going
to do about Blaine's nomination. In
reply to this inquiry repre-
sentative of the house made the state
ment by authority that Harper's Weekly will
oppose the Chicago nominations; that de-
cison to this effect.was reached by the men,
bers of the house unanimously, and that the
pen of Mr.. George William Curtis and the
pencil of Mr.. Thomas Mast will be exerted in
support of this course"
CLEVELAND, June 14.-Newsdealers here
report stagnation in the circulation of Har-
per's Weekly. a large sale was anticipated
of this weeks issue, but few copies have been
sold, and Republicans generally refuse to
buy, and old subscribers are ordering their
papers stopped This movement Is becoming
general throughout the state. A special from
New Philadelphia says that Republicans
of that section are cutting loose forever
from Harper's Weekly on account of its
position on Blaine, and there are no Demo
Gratis being mustered to fill up the ranks.
Quite club was gotten up here for The
Weekly to run through the campaign, but the
subscribers are dropping it like hot cakes. 4
notable case is that of Maj. Henry Kalden
baugh, who sent in his subscription q year in
advance He has been life long subscriber
to the paper, but he told the agent he wanted
it no longer, Others are following suit. As
to The New York Times, people of this sec
tion are forgetting that there was such pa

WASHINGTON CITY, June 1.-THE Illinois
Republican association, numbering about
80, called on Gen. Logan. The members of
the association were presented in short ad-
dress by Theodore L. Deland, president Of
the association. Gen. Logan replied as
follows:
FELLOW CITIZENS OF ILLINOIS: welcome
you heartily and tender you my sincere thanks
for the expression of good will manifested
tonight in this voluntary visit. 1t is pleasant
at all times to meet ones cO-workers, and
it is especially so to meet those with whom
our labors have been most Immediately cast.
Born and reared in the state of Illinois, a
flood of personal and agreeable recollec
tions rushes upon me as l behold your
familiar faces Some of you stood with me
as boys upon the shore of life's great ocean,
painting with eagerpess to explore the in
yiting but untried expanse before you. Some
of you were side by side with me when our
young manhood, full of vigor and latent pos
sibilities, began the struggle with forbidding
fortune, and in the face of obstacles
which magnifed and ennobled your subse-
quent successes. With some Of you have
reioiced in the accomplishment Of objects for
have grieved over the nOn-fruitiOn of your
best grounded hopes. With all of you l
haye been closely associated during some
portion OF our respective careers, and can
dwell with qualification over the retrospect
of our personal acquaintance, a retrospect
which, while full Of pleasures, should not fail
to remind US that, though we have passed
the heydey of youth and are standing under
the more subdued light of middle age, we are
still in the prime Of usefulness and with life's
full mission still unfulflled, Some of you
that are here have come upon the field Of
labor at more recent period, but are no less
my friends and fellow-laborers. To one and
e loci ffN fnct
my deep appreciation of the spirit which
prompts your visit at this time, and to extend
the hand of fellowship and of greeting to my
friends of Illinois here assembled.

what the Independents WIN Do.

NEW YORK, June 11.-George William
Curtis, Carl Schurz, George Haven Putnam,
R. R. Bowker, Ex-Governor D. H. Chamber
lain, and other independent Republicans
have united in preparing call for a meeting
on Tuesday next to consider what course
shall be taken with reference to the Repub-
lican nominations Mr. Putnam outlined the
programme of the meeting as follows:
1. To make strong protest against the ac-
tion of the Republican national convention
in the nomination of Mr.. Blaine.
2. To formulate suggestions to the Demo-
cratic national conventionwith reference to
certain reforms which we consider more i'm
portant than the existence of any party
3. To suggest that the Democratic
national convention shall not only
put itself on record as favoring these
reforms, but shall practically sup
port them by the nomination of some man
whose name shall stand for such reform
measures.

The Latest Ohio Freak.

FINDLAY, Ohio, June IA remark able
occurrence, well authenticated, is related at
Leipsic, a station on the Nickel-Plate road,
near here. A well known married lady,
who was in a delicate condition, suddenly
expired. and was placed In a vault pre-;
paratory to burial. Her friends became
afraid they had not used due caution in
permitting the funeral to take place without
another attempt to restore her to life, and
insisted that the coffin should be reopened.
This was done, and to their astonisment and
delight faint flush appeared on her cheek.
The body was hurriedly removed from the
unpleasant sepulchral resting place, and the
lady finally revived. The strangest part of
the matter is that the lady has since become
the mother of pair of twin daughters, and
all are doing nicely. The affair is the sensay
tion of the community.

by the national convention of the Greenback
party to notify Gen. Butler of his nomination
for president has arrived here. This COM
mission consists of j. r. Weston, Of North
Carolina; Gen. William T. Innes of Michi-
gan; Ex-Governor William Sprague, of
Rhode Island; D. A. Hopkins, of The Ameri-
can Sentry of New York, and G., B. Hutchin-
son, Of Massachusetts, The Greenbackers of
the state rendered them a complimentary
banquet at the Revere house in the afternoon.
At the banquet discussion occurred as to
the course to be pursued by the Democrats.
The discussion developed the opinion that
Gen. Butler was the only candidate with
whom the Democrats could win. against
Blaine, as he was the only one who could
hold the vote Of the Irish-Americans and the
laboring men.
After the banquet the national Greenback
committee went Immediately to Gen. But
ler's Office and rendered him the nomination
for the presidency. To this Gen. Butler re-
piled, thanking the party heartily for their
confidence, and accepted the nomination.
He promised to write letter of acceptance

Bay State Kfckers,

BOSTON, June 14.-The old dining-room at

hundreds of Republicans and Independents
who assembled in response to the call to protest
against the nomination of Blaine and Logan,
and the convention adjourned to the
Meionaon, which was soon packed, many
being unable to gain admission. Ex-Con-
