WASHINGTON, June THE follow

nominations was given to an associ-

Senator Lamar said he thought the
nomination of Blaine brilliant one
one which every strong enemy les
poets, and in one or two particulars
the strongest that, the republicans
could have made.
"Blaine," he said, "has large and
enthusiastic following, which will
make the canvass one of animation
and interest, involving issues of real
In order to beat him, we
shall ON our side, need to bring out our
best man."
"Whom do you think, Senator, the
democrats should nominate against
him ?"
"Well, said Senator Lamar, II am
very confident that the most available
man the democrats can nominate is
Mr.. Bayard."
Senator Brown thought Mr.. Blaine
about as strong a man as the republi-
cans could have nominated. cat any
rate" said he, ''he is probably the
ablest mau of his party"
Senator George said that If the re-
publicans are to elect the president
this time, which he hoped and believed
they would not, he preferred Mr..
Blaine to all other candidates who had
been named. "Mr. Blaine" said he,
twas undoubted a man Of great abili-

George, "that there is something good
likely to come to this country from a
more energetic assertion of the Mon
roe doctrine than we have had lately"
To the question, "Whom do you
think the most desirable candidate for
the democrats to put up against
Blaine" Senator George replied: eff
Mr.. Tilden's health permits and he is
willing to accept the nomination, 1
nave no doubt he is much the strong
EST man; but if he is not well enough
1r determined not to take the nomina-
ion, Mr.. Bayard is the best man."

How to Make Good Bread.

It is not, perhaps, generally known
that the best white flour is now made
from the hard spring wheat in northern
Minnesota, Dakota, and other high lati-
tudes. This flour is made by the So
called ''roller-process, and is of very
superior quality.
But the manner of making bread with
this flour differs little from that suited
to the ordinary flour, and hence those
who are accustomed to the old way
sometimes fail to attain as good results
with it as previous successes in bread
making entitle them to expect. If any
of our readers have had this expert
ence. they may find the following direc-
tons for making good bread with
spring wheat flour useful:
To one quart of milk or water add
two thirds of teacupful of yeast; add
flour to the thickness of batter, and let
it rise over night then add -four enough
to knead softly twenty minutes, or until
it will not cling to the board. as it re-
quires more kneading than winter
wheat flour. Let it rise in the pan,
then make it into small loayes. and let
it rise again. Bake in a moderate oven.
Be- sure and not let the bread stand in
the oven alter it s done, and a sweet
light loaf is assured. ~. asfe
1t is well to know, also, that this
kind of flour will work very much bet
ter if it is thoroughly dried out. Let it
stand on the back Of the stove. or some
other wa m place, for twenty-four hours,
and the difference it will make in either
bread or cake will be surprising. Some
good cooks keep quantity of dried-out
Hour on hand all the time, and regard
it as q great secret. .ls
These directions are sent out BY ONE
of the leading manufacturers of spring
wheat -four. They were accompanied
by the following recipe for making
yeast, which is said to be very superior:
Boil handful of hops in two quarts
of water ten minutes. Then strain, and
to the liquor add six good-sized grated
potatoes, one cup of sugar and one ia
hlespoonful of salt. Let it INNER
half an hour. When lukewarm add one
'chPful bf good yeast and let it rise. -
