Mr.. eLAiNE's SOUR GRAPES.

Some Remarks Regarding the fiumed
KnIeht from Maine and the Indepen-
dent Voters Who DO Not believe In
Him.
II was recently announced through
the New York papers that Mr.. Blaine
was in the city to effect a reconcilia-
ton between himself and the Mug
wump Times, the naughty Conkling
and ex-President Arthur. That the
reconciliation failed may be inferred
from the prompt denial BY the ubqui-
tous eliminate friend" on Sunday that
1t was contemplated. But the
obseryant public Is used to de-
mails Of the reported purposes Of
the Maine aspirant to the Presi-
dency. These reports are sent out like
50 MANY antenn1 to feel the public.
That MI. hi aine an his little privy coun-
ell have considered the feasibility Of re-
covering the anti Blaine Republicans Of
1884 does not admit Of question. In
reply to the question. will Mr. Blaine
be candidate in 1888? Congressman
William Walter Phelps, who Is one Of
Mr.. Blaine closest confidants, just be-
fore the latter started on his tour
through the States, said: II don.
know, and l don't suppose he does.
| It's two years vet, you see. You may
| be sure he won't be unless the minor
| ity Of the party-those who opposed
| his nomination last time-ask for il in
1883. They will have to bring him into
| the field This utterance indicated
which way Mr.. Blaine was looking for
| a pretext to come before the Republic
| an National convention in 1888. II he
| could show that the disaffected ele-
mcnts Of 1s84-the Mugwumps. the
stalwarts and she Arthurites were
greedily clamoring for him, his old
First, last and all the time partisans
would have an excuse to nominate him
with a whoop.
Unfortunately for Mr.. Blaine. the
Mugwump element ID an intangible
thing. 1t has no representative leader
or organization with whom he car

pendent voters who seeded from thu
Republican party in 1884 because
thew individually did not believe Mr.
Blaine was fit man to be President o
the United States. They thought thai
ais nomination marked distinct de
cadence in the moral tone and purpos'
Of the Republican party. They vote'
for Cleveland to rcbuke what the,
considered downward step in TIL

We learned from Mr.. Byrne that the

on the ranch, they purchase from 3d.
900 bushels of corn per year to feed the

from four to five thousand head of cattle,
