At the Keyser Republican, Convention
on the 9Th instant Hon. w II. H. Flick of
Berkeley county was nominated for Con-
gress, and on being presented to the con
vention, said he felt that he had been in
this case drafted, but there was one benefit
in being drafted, that he was here as the
work of no clique or faction that his OPP
ponent Mr. w. T.. Wilson, was a scholar,
a gentleman and statesman; and that he
expected no mud throwing in this campaign;
that he appreciated Mr.. Wilson in that he
was true man that it would be no dis
grace to be defeated by him; to defeat him
would be a glorious victory.

THE TICKETS IN 'sS.
VIII As be Blaine Against Cleveland
Again?

DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS
BOTH THINK IT WILL BE THE OLD FIGHT
OVER AGAIN.
Political prophets are practically unanimous
IN the prediction that 1888 is going to see Mr..
cleveland and Mr. Blaine again In the field op-
posing each other. Democrats with whom q
STAR reporter has talked on the subject from
ume 70 time agree, almost without exception,
tnat MI. Cleveland is almost certain to be
renomlnated. Since Congress has adjourned
tnings have occurred which it is thought point
more directly to this. It is believed. too, that
the President himself is no longer in
doubt about entering the lists. It is believed
that he has abandoned the idea Of serving but
the people at large, his success In holding the
favor of the mugwumps, without alto
getner ed r. alternating his own party leaders,
the field, seem to point to his denomination,
almost as certainty. Besides this, it is
thought that he has added to his chances by the
OF New York, and by the apparent change of
poiicy In the Treasury department. 1t is main.
tained by Secretary Fairchild that there is
really no change of policy, and that the large
BOND calls are only in accordance with the
views held from the first. At all events, the
fact that there have been large bond calls, and
that the silver is being circulated to a greater
extent than ever before, has silenced much of
the most bitter opposition against the admins
Co'aoA III tue party, ana maze the western
element more willing to accept Cleveland as an
available candidate
Mr.. Blatne's friends think his chances for Sc
curing the republican nomination are greatly
Increased by his being ''out of politics just
now. They think that the rivalry between the
other candidates, who have been brushing
against each other during the winter. puts them
all out Of the question. Being out Of the way,
Blaine has not irritated his rivals by protrusive
ambition, and he has been left alone. while
Sherman, Logan, Edmunds and the rest were
cutting each others throats. Meanwhile, Mr..
Blaine's friends have very adroitly shaped
things so as to make the campaign issues those
with which the Maine knight is most directly
associated as champion. The issues mace in
Mr.. McPherson's campaign book are said
to represent Mr.. Blaine throughout,
point on in his speeches in Maine this fall. The
campaign this fall, it is said, will follow line
marked out by Mr.. Blaine, and will bring to the
front questions upon which he is particularly
strong. His closest friends make no conceal
ment of the fact that they consider him the
most available candidate in the party, and that
they expect circumstances to lead to his nomi-
nation. 1t is predicted that his speeches in
Maine during the coming campaign will en-
ph0SiZe this.

BOGUS SPECIAL EXAMINER OF THE PENSION
OFFICE ARRESTED.
For several weeks past the Pension Office has
been in receipt of letters from Baltimore, ask
ing whether u special examiner had been sent
to that city to collect money from pensioners
and applicants for pension. One of the writer's

that she had been approached by man claim
ing to be special examiner of the Pension

he said, was necessary to pass her claim in the

office Tor information. 1t was also learned that
the bogus examiner, Oh several occasions, as
sumed the name Of George L. Lennon, and
represented that his office was at 6l5 18th
street. this city. When questioned by his vic
Tins regarding his identity, he would refer
them to the Pension office, where he said that
he was well known. The address given by the
impOstOr Is that OF Captain George Z. Lemon,
the wel-known attorney, and owing to that
TACT, and the similarity In names, he succeeded
In defrauding number Of people. He has no
connection with Captain Lemons Office, nor is
he known there. He also represented himself
as I. ii. Lemon, of the office Of the third audi
tor, United States Treasury, thereby swindling
in the hands of Special Agent Jacobs, OF the
Pension office, who reports that The fellows
real name Is William III. Rutlidge, and that he
Is professional confidence man. Rutlidge
was traced to Cross Keys, Maryland, where ne
was arrested last Saturday night by the
special agent and taken to Baltimore to await
trial.
