A Washington despatch TO the Boston Joul
nal saws:

a Blaine Boom.
A Washington despatch to the Boston Jour
nal says:
Within few days Mr.. Blaine has refused to
carry out one part of the programme which has
been assigned to him in various quarters. Il
has been said that he would be a delegate to
the convention from Maine, and would in that
/ capacity occupy the position which Garfield
did AT Chicago. But within short time the
State Republican Committee of Maine has APP
piled TO Mr.. Blaine for permission to use his
name delegate, and he has refused. This
committee then applied to him to designate
some one who might represent him in the
delegation at Chicago. This Mr.. Blaine also
refused to do. stating that he would have
nothing to do absolutely with the appointment
of the delegates. and would not dictate to them
a policy.
Notwithstanding this declaration. Congress
man Bayne, of Pennsylvania. is starting a
movement in favor of Blaincs nomination. and
has given out for publication an interview in
which among other things. he says, in answer
to the question, is Blaine candidate:'
NO. he is not. But that is no reason why
he should not be nominated. On the contrary, it
Is the best reason why he should be. Blaine Is
the man of all men who should be nominated
this year. " hat name would prove 80 effective
taisman to cOnjure the vote of the doubtful
in October? Who would more surely make

THE BOHEMIAN CHRONICLE.
Some Sensible Words in Disseminating the
Daily.

Mr.. Langhorne, who has bssn publishing
very bright daily paper at Bozsman, In the
issue Of the 18th announces Its discontinu-
ance and the issue alone of the weekly. In
announcing the fact he offers som. sugges-
tions which the majority Of people in towns
where papers are published do not seem to
bear In mind, especially where papers are
published Of proportions and expense be-
yond what the towns where they are
located, will actually justify. And as what
is true In Bozeman Is true here, we repro
duce what he says and commend the remarks
to the people Of Deer Lodge:
After mature consideration, We have
deemed IL best as q matter of prudence to
discontinue the Daily Chronicle for Q while,
Al least. We hope, however, that the ar
rangement will not be permanent. There
are Times In every business when II Is neces.
sary TO use economy; when 1t Is necessary,
perhaps, TO reduce the force Of workmen !;
rL-- {. t------- --------y lASS~>. sst.....
certain line Of goods, etc. This we have
done. We have reduced our working force !;
We place II on such basis as to make sure
that the Chronicle will remain an institution
Of Gallatin county. No one can regret more
than we the necessity, as 1t appears 10 US, of
disseminating the Daily, aud we trust no one
will consider 1t In the light of failure. 1t
Is q precaution TO prevent just such q result.
When the times and the business, or the de-
mands of business men call for 1t, We shall
resume 1t. Very few people seem 10 have .
full idea Of the importance to the commune
ty Of paper, and regard their business
transactions with 1t In Q purely personal
sense, whereas the existekce Of IL in q CON-
munity helps them even insensibly. To
withdraw an advertisement or patronage
from IL, because times are little dull, Is q
mistaken notion Of economy. In . spirit of
public enterprise, your home paper should
be encouraged. 1t advertises your country
In Q way which cannot otherwise be done.
Its influence Is wide and far-reaching. 1t Is
certain and sure that the one who does not
advertise cannot do the business of one who
does. Every successful business man realizes
this fact, and We make bold to say, that not
withstanding the results may not be appar-
snt, that advertising does pay. In fact moth
ing which goes into paper but Is scanned
by curious eyes, and the firm who keeps
themselves before the public becomes .
household word, and it Is but natural for
ono to seek them out when having occasion
to want anything they advertise. To thos,
who are not advertising, we say you are
making mistake. You are not only doing
yourself an injustice, but you are GRIPPING
an industry calculated to do your county
more good than you can estimate. Your
home paper demands your support, and
should have 1t.

Dana a Candidate.

NEW YORK, June 16.-Trutk says: Chas
A. Dana Is candidate for the Presidency
ssre enough. Alderman Mark says hs would
be much better than Cleveland. Register
Reilly, Capt. Ryndsrs and the far.seeine
Thos. Dunlap join in the chorus. We begin
TO see why Dana frowns upon Bayard; why
he belittles Cleveland, and even Cleveland's
phenomnal majority two years ago. He |,
Tilden's heir just as Blaine was Garfield's.
We do not believe there Is any strength In
the Dana movement, but in some quarters
the opposition to Cleveland Is pronounced,
and so INSCRIPTIONS that IL would not be
astonishing II there should be serious pur.
pose to throw the strength Of the New York
delegation in favor Of Q man who has been
all things to all men.
PHILADELPHIA, June 16.-The Times says
Tammany has given Its first mutterings Of
the coming war-whoop against Cleveland.
Whether it is indeed In earnest, or simply q
shot Of across bows to bring the party to sat-
isfactory terms, Is not yet clear, but II is q
strong indication that Cleveland Is not likely
to receive the cordial and united support
from New York necessary to make him tho
Presidential candidate, If New York won't
unite on Cleveland, 1t cant unite on Flower,
and why not present Chas. A. Dana3

Blainc's Tour Vast.

PHILADELPHIA, June IL. - The Pres,
aDecial saws: Blains will probably visit MAJ
York on June 9Th, to be present at the or.
ganization of the Republican National Com
mittee. Thus far only two names are men.
toned in connection with the charm nship,
ex-senator Chaffse and Stephen B. Elkins.

will take trip over the West Virginia road

months ago, and while 1t will probably DO
regarded A. political movement, It has
really no such significance, unless Blaine
should be Induced to make speeches there.
After tho West Virginia trip, Blaine will
spend few days At Deer Park, Maryland,
before entering on the work Of the campaign.
dis friends say 1t Is more probable he will
take the stump in West Virginia, Ohio, New
4ork, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and In

The Adjournment,

WASHINGTON, June IA resolution to
adjourn sine die on June Both was reported
from the ways and means committee, and
adopted BY the House yesterday. The reso-
luton was adopted unanimously by the
House, but 1t Is extremity doubtful IL the
same success will attend it in the Senate.
Mr.. Randall says the House will be ready TO
adjourn by that date, and whether they will
or not depends entirely on the Senate. The
members Of the House are all very anxious
to get away, and they say the date for adj
journment cannot be fixed any too soon. Or
the other hand 1t is thought the Senate will
not agree to an adjournment until the House
shall have acted upon several important
measures, 1t may delay the adjournment q
couple OF weeks longer. But the general
opinion is that an adjournment will be had
about the mrldle of July.

The Defeated California Congressman.

The Defeated California Congressman,
WASHINGTON, June 13.-California Con-
gressmen have regarded the news received
here concerning Congressional nominations
by the Stockton convention with the liveli-
est interest. The defeat of Sumner and
Tully, In the Fourth and Fifth districts, has
not only been interesting 10 those gentlemen,
but has attracted the attention Of many lead
ing members Of the House. Sumner has
made himself very prominent In pushing his
postal telegraph bill, and his bills reducing
the charges on Pacific railroads, and many
members are inclined to regard his defeat at
home as . reputation Of his course here, and
this sentiment will probably nullify much
that he might have accomplished on these
questions. Holman said to-day that he
thought the California Democrats were un-
wise to reject Sumner and Tully, without
some evidence of weakness here, a such de-
feat could not fail to be used all over the
country as . reputation Of the anti monopo-
ly professions of the Democrats In San
Francisco. Anderson, of Kansas, . member
Of the House committee on Pacific railroads,
said he considered Summers defeat non
endorsement Of his course here, and that It
would be so considered.
Gen. Rosecrans is still absent In Ohio, and
there Is general regret at his defeat also; and
many Democrats, aware that both he and
Sumner live In the same district under the
new apportionment, divide their sympathy
between them. Sumner, IL conversation to-
day, said he had known for some time that
be could expect nothing from the politicians
who manipulate affairs in the Fourth Dis
trict, and his defeat was no surprise. He
appeared to regard the matter lightly and
exhibited letter he received from San
Francisco In which the writer detailed how
the Buckley Clubs had elected delegates by
repeating and bulldozlng. In response to .
question as to how he felt, FULLY, who also
appeared to take his defeat lightly, said: al

their servants whenever they please. So /

Glascock, Of course, regards his nomination

almost impossible.
