nomination. Clear as it seems to
other people that he ought to be sat-
isfied, and more than satisfied with
single term. considering how remote
four years ago were his chances Of
ever being President at all, it is not
surprising that he yields to the temp
tation to make this fight.
To sum up the situation on the Re-
publican side, not as it may be six
weeks hence, but as it is to-day :
Blaine is well i'm the lead, with Ed
munds and Logan cOntesting the sec
ond place, and Arthur bad fourth.
Sherman cannot yet be placed. Logan
would be easily second but for the de-
velopment of the popular demand for
the nomination of Lincoln as Vice
President. That is one of the phe-
nomena of this campaign. Such an
arrangement, which seems to com
mend itself to the masses without re-
gard to geographical or any other con-
siderations, is about the most serious
thinking in LOgan's way. 1t is pos
sible to have Blaine and Lincoln,
Edmunds and Lincoln, Arthur and
Lincoln, almost anybody else and
Lincnln except Logan and Lincoln.
If the Convention were held next
week or next month, beyond doubt
it would be Blaine and Lincoln.

PHILADELPHIA, March 11.-Mr.
M. P. Handy, managing editor of the
Press, an experienced observer of po-
litical events, writes as follows from
Washington: -Four weeks ago Pres
idential politics were never so stag

nomination time. Now there is &C.
tivity on all sides the waters are
troubled and the mists blown away
by the breeze. Some things ahead
begin to loom up pretty clearly, al
though neither party is yet quite GER

it is heading. The three most prom.
inent objects on the horizon are Blaine
and Arthur on one side and TiIden

The curious part of it is that the

1880 are doing nothing to help this
particular movement along. On the
contrary they think it premature and

Their plan, If they had any, was to
start the ball month or so later, so
that it might not have so far to roll

The Morrison Bill.

NEW YORK, March ia special
to the Tribune from Washington says:
If a large number of influential Dem
ocrats did not believe that the electo-
raj votes of New York, New Jersey,
California and West Virginia are alb
soluteIy necessary to Democratic sue
cess, the Morrison bill would pass
the House without much difficulty.
It is true that Colonel Morrison.
Henry Watterson and some other
leading Democrats insist that on the
square issue of "tariff reform" the
Democrats can offset probable losses
in the States mentioned by gains in
the West, but they do not seem to be
able to impress many persons with
that belief.
1t seems probable that in caucus
two plans will be urged. Colonel
Morrison and his friends will be like.
ly to exhibit spirit of concession as
to details, but at the same time insist
that the majority which organized
the House on the issue of "Reyenue
Reform" cannot afford to be false to
its pledges to the people and stultify
itself by abandoning a tariff bill re.
ported by Ways and Means Com.
mittee deliberately organized with a
view to tariff reduction.
To this Mr.. Randall and his follow
ers will pre- baby reply that the time
is not propitious for such action that
the utterances of the Democratic news
papers in Virginia and Georgia indi.
cate a strong and growing feeling in
the South against making the atti-
tude Of any Democrat toward the tar
iff test of his party fealty that the
result of the spring elections in Penn
sylyanfa and New York and of the
special Congressional election in Kan
sas tends to show that there is no gen.
eral public demand for tariff legisla-
ton at this session that the agita.
tion of the tariff question in Congress
is regarded by The business Interests
of the country as the chief cause of
the depression in many branches of
trade and industry and is thus en-
dangering the prospects of Democrat
&c success in the Presidential election.
and, therefore. that the Morrison bill,
however modified, ought not to be
pressed at this time, at the imminent
risk ola serious division Of the major
ity of the House.
Perhaps these and like arguments
and considerations may tempt Chair
man Morrison and other men in the
caucus who are aspirants for the
Democratic Presidential nomination
but the chances seem to be that they
will have little weight with such men
as Hurd, ckburn, Springer and
Mills, and ifa vote is taken on the
Morrison bill in the caucus it will be
adopted. If that be done and the
free list be dropped, there will not be
fifty Democratic votes against it in
the House.

LAKE PLEASANT SPIRITUALIsTs

The Second Excurs1on-Mustc and
 Speeches-A Vote Taken on Presf-
 dentiaI CandfdateS-BIafne Ahead.
 The second excursion to Lake Pleasant took place yesterday and despite the early start and cloudy weather many people went from here. At Southingtonp it commenced to rain quite hard and the prospects were that it would continue all day, but it stopped raining at Pennington and when the train reached the lake the sun was shining and a more beautiful day could not be wished for. The train was made up of fourteen cars, five from Hartford, one from Unionville and the rest from New Haven, Conductor Wood ruff and Engineer Dalemer being in charge. A vote was taken on the train on the ques tion of presidential candidates and the result was Blaine 145, Cleveland 132.
 At the lake the morning exercises were conducted by J. Beales, president, of Green field, and J. T. Baxter of Boston. The Amphion Glee club, of Troy, rendered some very beautiful selections of sacred music. In the afternoon Emma Harding Brittan; of England, delivered her farewell address, and at the skating rink the F'Ladies' Schumamn club, "of Boston, sang some very nice music and were applauded number of times.
 The Fitchburg band gave concert in the grove It is estimated that there were be- tween five and six thousand people at the ''lake" and every one said that they had 8 nice time. The coming week the fraternity of the ''White Cross Spiritualist society" will hold three days convention commenc- ing Friday. The subject for the first day is Equal Rights" Mrs. Isabel Beecher Hook CT gives the principal discourse Saturday; the subject will be ''Co-operation;" and Rev. J.
