Who will Dedicate the Washington WI ON
umente
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The Washington
Monument Association may yet find way out
of the quandary in which Mr.. Winthrop's ILL.,
ness has placed them by inviting Hon. James

This idea has taken root OF late, on account of
Mr.. Baine's acknowledged abilities, his IA
miliarity with-history in general, and the New
England character in particular, especially as
it is shown In the early records of the Revolu-
tion, and his fondness for talking about it, in
connection with the struggle in which WASH
ington was the great leader. II Mr.. Blaine
should be selected the grafton would doubtless
be the effort of his life.
