4 Sensational Dispatch from Washington
Regarding the Plumed Knight
WASHINGTON, May 3l.-The indifference
of Mr. Blaine concerning his nomination at
Chicago has for some time been the cause
of great anxiety to his enthusiastic support
ers. He has been asked to take the field in
person and urged to do so because it was be
Iiered his presence at Chicago would make
his success more certain. To the surprise
and disgust of his ardent advocates Mr..
Blaine has frankly declared on the eve of the
assembling of the convention that he has
mo desire for an empty honor, and he is
reported as saving that in his opinion the
Republican nominee, whoever he may be,
cannot possibly be elected this year

and desertion She says her home is in
Brooklyn. About n year ago she entered
the employ of large dry goods house in

ruined her under promise of marriage. She
accompanied him to Kansas City, where
he promised to marry her, but after
living there for about two months, he
deserted her. He gave his name as George
Wilson. After waiting in Kansas City
three weeks she started for her home in
BROOKLYN, having money enough TO pay her
way to Rochester, where she was given II

DARK HORSES.
A Long Line of Aspiring Republican states
men.

A Long Line of Aspiring Republican states
men.
There are two views of dark horse prOba-
bilitieS among the politicians who are al
ready in the city. Nearly all the delegates
who are actively enlisted for one or the 9TH
er Of the leading candidates do not believe
it is dark horse year. Their wish is father
to the thought. The Arthur men sincerely
believe that the President will be the nom
inee. The Blaine men hope that their man
will be nominated. The friends of EdmundS
and Logan hope that it will come their way
These men are naturally opposed to dark
horses. In arguing that the nominee will
not be a dark horse they are ready to quote
history. When Hayes was nominated in
1876 the convention was held in his State
his own delegation stood by him Solidly, and
HAYES had the prestige of having just car
ricd his own State against the most popular
Democrat in the State William Allen.
Moreover, Ohio was an October State, which
helped Hayes None of the dark horses
of this year combine those points. The con-
vcntion is held in Logan's State, and
Illinois now has the same number
of votes that Ohio had in 1876,
namely .forty,four. But it is urged
that Logan is not dark horse. He has
been candidate since lsSO, and openly for
at least ten months More than that, he
has not secured the solid vote of his State
and the detection exists in the very city
where he lives and where the convention is
held. This, it is urged, destroys the para-
lelism between the chances of HAYES and
those of Logan. Garfield was nominated in
1880 because he was the leader of the
House, has been unanimously elected Sen
ator by the Republicans of the Ohio Legis-
lature, was the head of his delegation i'll
the convention, was ncOf the ableSt and
most pleasing orators of the convention, and
becauSe'he was taken up at critical mo
ment TO beat the third termerS. None OF
the dark horses now suggested can claim
the advantage ofsuch circumstances.

NEWSPAPER OPINIONS.
They All With One Accord Denomcc the
Outrage.

The newspapers devote large portion
to the explosions. The Telegraph says;
1T behooves the English people to reflect
whether sterner measures should not be
taken to put stop to public peril and mis-
chief TO which they are exposed. Each
fresh act of cruelty and malice will
strengthen the resolve of Englishmcn not to
yield one jot to those wishing to dSmember
the empire The Standard declares no
concession will be made to the outrage. So
far the only result attained has been failure
and penal servitudc The nation is dis
gustcd but not alarmed. If the attempt had
fully succeeded last night We would not an
swcr for the rcprisals of the E6ndon popu-
lace" The Times saws: "The explosions
followed shortly upon the introduction of
Trcvlyns Irish land bill The inference is
legitimate that the bafticd Nationalist gain
vented their displcasurc in dastardly mis-
chief" The News says: 1--WE think the
occurrence is an evidence of q dynamite
conspiracy more widely spread and served
by more astute agents than has hitherto
been suspected. 1t successfully battles the
detectives and appears to have easy COM
mand over men and materials for netarlous
purposes" 1t urges the public TO be watch
ful of persons leaving or returning TO their
lodging and hotels:

WASHINGTON, May 3l.-The Republican
side of the House is almost barren waste
to-day aud there is far less than a quorum
all told present. The chief scene of excite
men. Is down town, as Middleton's Banking
House, which has enjoyed high reputation
and done a large business, shut its doors
thi, morning. The failure has had dis
turJing effect, particularly on other private
banking houses. The contest at Chicago Is
keenly watched but the news so far aS
known here is taken TO show that thus far
everything is in doubt. The only bit Of
gossip Washington furnishes is the rather
ostcntatiOus announcement from the White
House that Senator Cameron is TO he Presl-
dent ArthurS guest next week. This Is
supposed to imply that Cameron is TO give
the President his moral support while not
taking an active part in the contest.

London newspapers Say Such o.

LoNDoN, MAY 3l.-The excitement caused
by the explosion of dynamite last night is
intense, and many alarming rumors pre-
vail The police, who have have been ac-
lively engaged since the explosion in
searching for the persons who committed
the outrages, have as yet made no arrests
nor as vet obtained the slightest clue. The
fear that more disasters of the same Sort
arc to speedily follow is so great that a
large force of police have been detailed to
guard all the public buildings and principal
railway stations, while a number of detect
ives have been placed on duty in the vicin-
ity Of each of the Cabinet Ministers houses
and couple are at the disposal Of each
minister to guard him to and from his resi-,
dcncc.
\ Large Reward.
Great pressure is being brough to bear on
the Government to Oller reward of 81 600
for the capture Of the persons who caused
last night explosion and goo for intOr-
nation which will lead To their arrest The
police it seems, had ample time for pre-
paratiOn, as they recently received a num-
her of threatening letters, which it is now be-
lieyed were sent by dynamiters, warning
them that the lnvinciceS intended to
avcngc the arrests of John DAILY, James
Egan, and Vim. Mcdonnell, and saving that
police headquarters would be made to feel
the powder Of that organization. The last
threatening letter received by the police in
dicuted that an outrage which would as,on-
ish Scotland Yard would be perpetratcd on
he Queens birthday. So wild were some
of the assertions in some of the letters that
the police paid little attention to them and
only remembered their contents when
awakened TO sense of alarm by last night
explosions.
