publican politicians who are schem-
ing to nominate James G. Blaine
for the presidency apparently have
n rev and sensational "point" in
pickle for the rational convention.

plain the Florence letter in such q
light that the convention will feel
free to nominate the ''lnan from

printed IN the newspapers a day OF

that the Planned Knight will BE-
nominated with rush and hur-
