The Very Devious WAY 1t Takes to
Reach 1t.
The following circumstance was related
this afternoon, it being advisable to test
this relationship in Washington. A South
ern delegate was dispatched to call on
Blaine He was well received, and during
the interview remarked that he was friendly
to Arthur, but being doubtful of his success,
he wanted to support man who was likely
to be successful. Blaine gave him letter
to Logan. Upon delivering this he
remarked to Logan that it was
possible to do something with the Southern
delegates. but there would be expense at
tending it, and he was poor man. General
Logan remarked that he also was a POOR
man, but he had friend who might aid in
the matter ThereupOn he gave letter to
Mr.. Walter Phelps who invested 800 in the
Southern venture The alliance is said to
be offensive and defensive with the view to-
contrel not only the convention but the
affairs ofGoyernment in pushing it To sue

Swallowed by Detectives.
Mr.. Watson has been shadowed by the
detectives since Thursday afternoon, as the
ATTORNEYS for the assignee were informed
that it was probable he would leave the

that Mr.. Watson would not be allowed to

boarded it. Detective O'Mara was
sent East on the next

cities between here and New York to arrest
Watson, but he was not taken into custody

DIDN'T BITE.
A Trick to Beat sherman That was n
Failure.

A Trick to Beat sherman That was a
Failure.
A delegate said to-day: Just here may
mention that my friend Foraker was not
caught by the bait that the joyial Butter
worth tried him with, which, to my mind,
clearly demonstrates that he is no sucker.
The bait aforesaid was contained in letter
that invited him to visit Washington for
conference. with the President; that it was
the judgement of his Excellency that the
firm of Arthur and Foraker was the ticket
that would be nominated at Chicago; that
the friends of the Administration were wild
with enthusiasm at this suggestion of His
Excellent NibS, and that the said comblna-
tion would work like a charm. The Judges
answer, understand, was that only second
class men sought a Second-claSS position
and that he rated himself as frst-class
man. and would only take the first-cIasS
place-rcycrSe the firm name to that OF For
aker and Arthur, and he was in.
If such proposition was made to Forak-
er by Ben-and have no doubt that 1t
was-how many more like offers have been
made? The administration and the Strik-
ers, therefore. have left no stone unturned;
nor will they as far as it in their power lies.
But there be so many stones, and so hetty,
that doubt their ability to turn ALL and
then turn lack.
