NEW YORK SURMISES.
Hiscock and Plat VIII Control the Dele
CATION, and They Are Not for Depew.

Hiscock and Plat VIII Control the Dele-
cation, and They Are Not for Depew.
The Republican State Committee will
meet couple of weeks hence to determine
the date of the State convention, which IS
likely to be some time in the latter part Of
April or the first week in May. Several
cities are actively competing for the honor,
but Syracuse seems to have the call. AS
this is the home of Senator Frank Hiscock,
his friends are claiming that the selection of
Syracuse for holding the State convention
means the election of delegates favorable
10 the nomination of Hlscock for President.
But Mr. Depew's friends are fighting
secretly but detcrminedly against SYRIA
cuse. They demand either Buffalo or
Rochester, where the power of the
New York Central road Is omnipotent.
They do not want Utica, because they are
keen to tho appreciation that whatever the
influence of Roscoe Conkling may be in
other counties of the State his strength in
Oneida is irresistible; and it is advanced
as an undeniable fact that Mr.. Conkling
would never countenance the nomination of
Chauncey NJ Depew for President after the
experience of 1851. Nor is Mr.. Thomas c.
Platt as favorably disposed TO Mr.. Depew,
it is said, as appearances would indicate.
"MF. Platt," said an old friend of his yester-
day, "has not forgotten the part Mr. Dcpew
took in the memorable Senatorial campaign
of 1857, when his friend. Senator Robertson,
came to Albany and made the announcement
that Mr.. Depew wanted Warner Miller re-
elected Senator" 1t Is thought likely that
two of the four delegatcs-at-largc from the
State Will be Senator Hiscock and Thomas
c. Plat.
These two gentlemen, say the politicians,
will determine who the other two dele
gates at-large will be. Senator Evarts
wants to go TO Chicago, but, on the same
authority. it is no secret that his wishes
can not be complied with without the con-
sent Of the junior Senator and the ex-Sen-
ator. "Riscock and Platt are the bosses
and Evarts must dance to their music or
stay at home" said State Senator yester-
day "Alonzo b. Cornell also wants 10 go as
8 gate-at-large, but Mr.. Platt has not
forgotten his treachery Of 1851. 1t is likely
that Cornelius n. Bliss Will make the third
of the four egatcs-at-large out of COM
pliment to the friends Of General Arthur"

INDIANA DELEGATES,
Loud Call for the Strongest Man to
Lead the Party.

A Loud Call for the Strongest Man to
Lead the Party.
From an admirable letter in the Indian
apolis Journal we quote the following Ian
guage, fit to become the watchword of all
Republicans in the matter of selecting dele
gates to represent them in the Chicago con-
vention:
Let the Indiana delegation go to Chicago
pledged above all things to do the best for
the Republican party. II the indications
are that either Gresham, or Porter, or Har-
rison can combine the strongest outside in
fluences, let the one who shows this strength
have the united and cordial support of the
delegation. The blunder of 1854 should not
be repeated.
This language is preceded by beautiful
and highly complimentary estimate of Gen
eral Gresham, General Harrison and Gov
ernor Porter They are all Republicans
worthy to lead. The party in Indiana
would gladly rally under the standard Of
either. 1t should be the first purpose of
our delegates to Chicago to have an Indiana
man nominated, but it is as certain as any
future event can be that the National Re-
publican Convention will be guided in its
choice by the deliberate Judgment Of null
ttude of wise and unseltish counselors.
The next nomination will be made for the
party's triumph on the broadest and most
impersonal grounds. The nomination will
come to Indiana only on one condition. II
she has among her people the man who is
strongest here and elsewhere, that man
will be nominated. The Indiana delegation
will serve its party best by being, above
all other considerations. Republican rep
resentatlve body ready TO vote for any In
diana man acceptable to the party at
large and to the people.-Eokomo Gazette

Harrison in His Own State.

What General Harrison's strength out
side the State is. and is likely to be with
earnest and harmonious support from his
own State, is sufficiently Indicated by what
we have published within the past few DAYS
In every part Of the country-East, West,
North and South, General Harrison is
known, and the possibility Of his Presider-
tial candidacy received with favorable con-
sheraton. With Indiana solid and earnest
for him, as Maine was for Blaine. Illinois
was for Logan. Ohio is for Sherman, and
other States have been and may be for the
man Of their choice, no one IS more likely to
become the favorite of the party il the
whole country than General Harrison In-

MIR. Blaine Certainly Sincere.

Crawford, the foreign correspondent Of
the New York World. a Democratic paper,
recently cabled to that journal long inter
view with Mr.. Blaine from which the fol-
lowing is taken: Toward the close of nv
last call asked Mr.. Blaine when he ex-
pected 10 return to America.
He said that he expected 70 reach New
York about the last of June. He expects
to spend the late spring in London. he has
not yet determined upon his movements
After leaving Florence he will probably go
straight to England from Italy,
He said. with an air OF frankness not to
be mistaken: :" You have no idea what a
rehsf il is to me TO think that / an now out
OF the canvass. and that when | come back
TO New York in the summer l shall not be
going back there 10 face reception after
reception and TO enter into the turmoil and
excitement OF a political canvass. l can
now come back quietly, after the conven-
ton has once decided the result, and enjoy
my own life in my own way, free, ! hope,
from further criticism or comment"

SHERMAN IN DANGER.

Foraker's Ambition Playing Havoc with,
Sherman's Pians-Good Evidence That
Ohio's Arctic Statesman May Himself
Be Frozen Out.
If Senator Sherman desires to preserve
the anatomy of his Presidential boom in
Ohio he should at once communicate with
Governor Foraker and number of proni-
nent Republicans holding office under the
present administration. 1t is nearly time,
says Columbus, O., special to the Chicago
Tribune, to unmask his alleged friends in
Ohio who are outwardly doing what they
can to advance his candidacy and create the
impression that Ohio is solid for the Sen
ator, and at the same time covering the
East and West with confidential informa-
ton that in certain contingency Governor
Foraker is willing to become candidate in
Chicago in June.
There are strong surface indications that

A CLEVELAND VICTORY.
His Friends, 1t Was, Who Fixed the Dat
of Holding the Democratic Convention.


The Democratic National Committee has
fixed upon st. Louis as the place for its
Presidential convention, and reconsidered
its action, naming July 3, and set the time
ahead to June 5. The Administration end
of the committee had from the first con-
tended for date earlier than that of the
Republican Convention, but they had not
strength enough to succeed in their pur-
pose until they struck up bargain with
the st. Louis supporters TO swap votes.
The open announcement Of this bargain
was made by the failure of Congressman
Scott to get the date changed before the
place was fixed. st. Louis was clearly de-
termined to secure itself before it carried
out its side of the arrangement. 1t was
clever combination, and one Of the very
few compromises IN which Mr.. Scott is
such an adept where he ever gained his
point.
While the distinctly Administration men,
bers Of the committee favored Chicago, 1t
was Of very small consequence to Cleve-
land whether the convention should go
there or to St. Louis. II was important
only that il should not be held IN New York,
and under the circumstances New York
never really became claimant The time,
however, was a matter OF great slgnih-
canoe. and the Administration has secured
its victory in that respect. The early date
was urged by the Free-Trade Democrats,
and it is their triumph over those of the
party who are disposed 10 a more conserva-
tive revision of the tariff They would have
made the date still earlier II they had Dos
ses sed the strength, for they are not with
out reason 70 fear that the influence of the
convention may vet be needed upon their
party in the House 20 secure action upon
tariff bill before the end Of the present ses-
sion. 1t is not improbable that the revenue
reduction question NAV be hanging on in
Congress until after June 5-PhlddslDi.a

No Cause to Change Their Minds.

The voters Of the United States have had
no reason to change their minds as to the
necessity of better government or cheaper
government since 1876. The taste Of it af-
forded By the Cleveland Administration
has only whetted their appetite for more.
The platform of 1876 is good enough for
1888: and the Democrats who then SUD
ported Mr.. Tilden can have no excuse for
refusing to support any man whom the con-
vention may select to carry forward the
sane policy of reform. Record

Thinks Nlr. Elaine viii Be Nominated.

Thinks MIR. Blaine Will Be Nominated.
In recent interview Mr.. Depew, refer
ring to the statement he had made at the
Union League Club in Chicago, that he be-
leved Blaine would be nominated notwith-
standing his letter Of withdrawal, said:
Il knew last summer from conversations
i had with Mr.. Blaine that he would not be
a candidate, and from talks had with Mrs.
Blaine knew she was opposed to her hus-
band again running for the Presidency.
Still, l say, Notwithstanding the letter and
my own knowledge Of Mr.. Blaine's opposi-
ton to his name being used, there is prob
ability of his nomination.
What effect has the letter had upon the
Republicansr'
1.-THE idea that Blaine would not allow
his name to be brought before the conven-
ton has given great strength to the booms
of the other candidates. Ohio and some
Southern States are strong for John Sher-
man; Iowa Will shout for Allison; Indiana
is strong for General Harrison; Illinois is
strong for Robert Lincoln, or, if he refuses,

The human Understanding.
Abbreviated From Lock.


The last resort man has recourse to
in the conduct of himself is his under
standing; for, though We distinguish the
faculties of the mind, ano give the su-
preme command TO the viii, yet man de-
termines himself TO this or that voluu-
tary action, upon some precedent know
ledge, or appearance TO knowledge, in
the understanding. Whatsoever fasul-
ties he employs, the understanding, we'll
or Ill informed, constantly leads. The
will itself, how absolute and uncoutr0l-
able soever IL may be thought, never
fails in its obedience 10 the dictates of
this understanding. II IS therefore Of
the highest Government that grsa: care
should be taken of the understanding, TO
conduct it right in the search of know
ledge, and in the Judgment IL makes.
II would perhaps be thought an affec
tahon or novelty to suspect that rules
that have served the learned world these
two or three thousand years, and which,
without any complaint of defect, the
learned have rested in, are not sufficient
TO guide the understanding. The great
Lord Verulum WAC, not servily thinking
could not bs advanced beyond what 1t
WAS, because for many ages il had not
been, did not rest IN the lazy appreciation
and applause of what was because it was,
but enlarged his mind TO what il might
be. "Ihey,' said be, who attribute 50
much to logic, perceived very we'll, and
truly that il wa not safe to trust the
understanding to itself, without tho
guard OF any rules But the remedy
reached not the evil, but became part
% Fav b., nh ~.
though i. might do well enough in civii
affairs, and the arts which consisted in
talk and opinion, yet comes very far
short OF suotility in the real performan-
ces OF nature, and, catching at what it
cannot reach, has served TO confirm ana
establish errors rather than to open
way to truth.
There is great variety in mems under.
standings, and their natural constitu
tions put SO wide difference between
some men in this respect that art and
industry would never be able to MASTER
and their very natures seem to want Il
foundation TO rise on that which other
men easily attain unto. Among men of
equal education there is great Unequal
ity of parts. Most men come very short
OF what they might attain unto in their
several degrees, by neglect of their IN
derstaniings. There are great many
natural defects in the understanding
capable of amendment, which ars over
looked and wholly neglected. Men are
guilty Of great many faults in the exer-
else and improvement of this faculty of
mind which hinder them in their pro
gress, and keep them in ignorance and
error all their lives.
