New YoRK, May 29.-rhe Tribune Of
to-day publishes the following letter from
Mr.. Blaine:
PARIS, May IL 1888.
MY DEAR Sra since my return to Paris from
southern Italy on the sih instsIs M asys !, !,
name may yet be presented to the. National
Convention as the candidate for Presidency OF
the Republican party. A single phrase Oh, OF my ,lI
was decisive Of everything 1 had personal
power to deuide), has been treated by many
OF my most ,valued friends az no., NOT
possible contingencies. On the other hand,
friends equally devoted and disinteresteu
have construed my letter as 1t should be con-
strued, to be the unconditional withdrawal OF
my name from the National Convention. They
have, IN consequence given their support 70
eminent gentlemen who are candidates for the
Chicago nomination, some OF whom would not,
l am sure, have consented to assume that posi-
ton II had desired to represent the party II
the Presidential contest o. 1888. II should
now, by speech or by silence, by commission or
omission, permit my name IN any event 70
come before the Convention, should incur the
reproach OF being uncandid with those
who have always been candid with me. !
speak, therefore, because am not willing TO
remain in q doubtful attitude. | am not will
ling TO be the cause of misleading a single man
sufflages and their confidence. am not willing
that even one OF my faithful supporters in the
past should think me capable of palterlng IN q
double sense with my words. Assuming that
the Presidential nomination could by any, pos.
aible chance be offered to me, ] could not accept
It without leaving In the minds OF thousands OF
these men the impression thatl had not been free
from indirection, and therefore could not
accept 1t at all. Misrepresentation OF malice
have no weight, but the Just disple aslre Of
friends could not patiently endure. A. Repub.
lican victory, the prospects Of which, grow
brighter every day, can be imperilled only by
lack of unity in council, or by an acrim oniouf
contest over men. The issue of Protection il
incalculably stronger and greater than any
man, for 1t concerns the prosperity ol
the present and generations yet u
come, Were Il possible for every yotel
Of the Republic to see for hlmieu
the condition aud reeompense of labor. In
Europe. tho party OF free trade in the Unitec
States would not receive the support OF one
wage-worker between the two oceans. 1t may
not be directly in our power as philanthIopifti
to elevate the European lab0rer, but II will be .
lasting stigma upon our statesmansh1p II we
permit the American laborer to be forced down
to the European level. and IN the end the ~.
ward of labor everywhere will be advanced Il
we steadily refuse to lower the standard q
home. Yours Very sincerely,
lSignedl JAS. g. BLAINE.

QUITTING convention Rates.

CHICAGO, May 29.-some time ago the
lines leadpg to Chicago and st. Louis
agreed td sell round-trip excursion
tickets at ~ rate OF one fare for the
round-trip, on account of the Re-
publican and Democratic conven-
tions respectively. 1t leaked out
to-day that the Chicago, Kan
sas and Nebraska road, which
is Rock Island western extension is
quoting rate Of one cent per mile for
points along its line to Chicago on round
tip tickets, on account Of the Re-
publican Convention to be held here
in July. The Alton road met the cut
at once by giving notice it would quote
the rate one cent mile from Missouri
River points to Chicago and return
In order to be consistent it
also gave notice that the same rate
would apply from Chicago and Kansas
City on account of the Democratic Con-
vention in July. The Rock Island road
claims that the Santa Fe road made the
first cut and that il is only following that
line. Others will follow suit.

tAHsodsted Press Dispatches to the HEHALD.t
WAsmNaToN, May 20.--An intimate
friend Of General Sheridan said tonight
that the Generals mother, several years
ago, had an attack similar in its char
acter to that which has prostrated the
General. The progress of the disease
was much the same, it is said, as in Cen
eral Sheridan's oase. She recovered and
is now alive and in her Goth year.
Tho General is doing remarkably well
tonight. His diet has been changed
somewhat from the scanty variety of
nourishment heretofore allowed him.
He was given some beef juice
tonight, obtained by pressing steak.
He laughed when 1t WAS given
him, and said: ''It is pity to spoil that
steak for this; had rather got the juice
out between my teeth" To this the doc
tor replied, "Well, you shall, General,
before the week ends, If you climb up
like this"
MUCH BETTER.
General Sheridan was reported much
better this morning. and his military
aides express themselves as feeling en-
couraged that he has fair chance OF re-
| cOvery. There was an air OF cneeflui-
ness about the members OF the house
hold that indicated far better than
words that there had been q decided
change for the better in the sick SOL
dier's condition. The first intelligence
OF his condition came from Col. Blunt,
who remained at the house allnight. He
left it at about $3.50 O'Clock TO go home
for breakfast, and as he passed the news
paper men in waiting said that the Gem
eral had very comfortable night, and
that one OF the physicians told him few
minutes before that the General was do
ing splendidly. Everything seems to
be more favorable now" said Col:
Blount, ''and Mrs. Sheridan and all OF
us feel much encouraged; but then, you
know, much disease is still there and no
one can tell what will happen"
INCIDENTS OF THE MORNING,
/ Col Kellogg relieved Col. Blount, and
after spending some little time in the
house with the physicians and members
OF the family, appeared on the front porch
at about o'clock and conversed freely
about the case.
"The General slept we'll during the
: night said he, "and now appears to be
| much refreshed. His sleep was natural
and restful and not caused by narcotics
of any kind. His respiration, also, was
easier and m01e psf1ra| apd there =, was Is.s

The Democratic members of the Com
mittee on Ways and Means have had
under consideration the amendment pro-
posed by Springer, of Illinois. to place
upon the free list such articles on the
dutiable list as are controlled, as to their
production and price, by ''trusts" and
combinations, but did not report upon
the subject to the caucus. 1t is under
stood that the committee is averse to the
proposition, although it recognizes tho
necessity of legislation which win pre-
vent perpetuation of the pool system.
The argument against the Springer
amendment is that it will be prejudicial
TO the interests Of manufacturers of ar
ticles who have not entered into trusts .
and 1t is probable that an amendment
will be reported placing an internal reve-
nue. tax upon such dutiable articles as
are made by manufacturers who have
entered into strusts."

MR.. CLEAvES AS A PUBLIC OFFICER.
Ellsworth Americana
Mr. Cleayes' whole career as a man and a
public officer whose record is open to the
Inspection of the world, proves ccnclusiyely
that he thoroughly believes in a faithful,
honest and vigorous enforcement Of the
laws of the State, and that any executive
officer would be unfaithful to his trust were
he to hesitate in enforcing the laws enacted
for the benefit and protection of the people
and for the suppression OF crime and intern
perance. The 10000 prohiblti0nists in the
Republican party expect and require OF the
Chief Magistrate just what MIR. Cleaves has
already given us as public officer; that is,
faithful discharge of his official duties as
required by law. Such a course would en-
tirely satisfy them. They ask no more OF
any public officer. whatever his name OF
rank; they will be satisfied with nothing
less. We write the above not because we
wish to help Mr.. Cleaves in preference &c
the other candidates. but because we do not
believe In the kind of warfare with which he
has been attacked,
