Administration Innnenn..

Complaint is made by those who, for per-
sonal or political reasons, are opposed to any
reduction of taxation, that the influence of
the Administration is felt in favor of such
action.
We do not know what the facts may be,
says the New York Wsrld, but it would be
interesting to have some body explain what
the Administration is there for, il not to
help give effect to the principles and policy
of the party that placed it in power II was
q fault in the Administration, and a mis-
fortune for the Democratic party and for
the country, that the President did not two
years ago, and a year ago, throw the weight
of the Executive influence actively on the
side of those who were trying to secure a
redemption OF the party pledge to stop the
surplus by reducing superfluous war taxes.
There was none of the earlier Democratic
or Republican Administrations that could
not and would not have exercised, in ways
entirely proper, sufficient influences to Sc
cure the half-dozen votes necessary to OBJ
tain consideration for the tax-reduction bill
in the last Congress.
1t is a necessary incident of party gov
ernment that the President and his Cab
met should represent. and seek in all ieg1ti-
mate ways TO give effect 70. the principles
and wishes of those who elected him. The
President showed his appreciation Of this
fact when he devoted his last message
wholly to the question OF tariff reform and
tax reduction, after full consultation with
the prospective Speaker of the House. By
that act he became the leader Of his party
and il is the duty Of q leader to continue 10
lead.

Poor Old Iowa.

In the way Of doing perfunctory piece
Of political work in pcrfunctory manner
the proceedings Of the Iowa Republican
State convention deserve to take the rec
ord for perfunctoriness The convention
was called to elect delegates to the National
convention next June and incidentally to
declare the preference Of Iowa Republicans
for the Presidential nomination. Prac-
tically, of course, the latter was the real
business of the convention; but in attend
ing to it the delegates betrayed lack of en-
thusiasm in their work that indicated no es-
pecial hope that Iowas favorite SON would
capture the National prize.
The fact is, Iowa Republicans, SAYS the
Chicago -Hsecs, have NO idea that Senator Al.
lison will draw votes from other States. Re
is respectable representative of Iowa Re-
publlcanlsm and nothing more. He is an
honest, genial, courteous, affable, nice party
man, with abilities of good but not brill.
iant order. Allison is one of the men of
whom many speak well, but nobody goes
into ecstacies over. His whole character
was once summed up in single sentence
by Senator ingalls,, thus: "Allison could
walk across a marble floor with wooden
clogs on. and make no more noise than a
fly would in walking across ceiling"
The convention apparently put gag on
itself in relation to all National affairs, and
was becomingly entertained with as harm
less lot Of platitudes as ever fell from the
lips Of political sophomores.

Feat Mr.. Cleveland" In other words. Of
hcial notice is given to the party at large
by its owners that Gresham won't do. and
that II he is nominated the result of the
election will be foregone conclusion.

Mr Clevelands reelection as inevitable.

evidence OF readiness on the part of those

BLAINE AND NEW YORK.

The Mugwump Stin Lives and Blaine
Could Not Garry the Empire State, II
Nominated.
In the April number of the Forum Mr..
John Foord answers the question could
Mr.. Blaine carry New Yorkl'' in way that
will prove hard nuts for the Phelps Reid
Manley-Jones- Charley Emory Smith combin-
alton TO crack. Mr.. Foord views the situa-
tion from Republican point of view and
weighs the chances with all the New York
election figures before him, and his conclu-
sion is the very opposite of that to which
Mr.. Blaine pointed with pride" IN his
Florence letter. What set Mr.. Foord to
figuring on this question was the declara-
tion of Mr.. Blaine's fugelman, joe Manley,
that 1--WE never began to have any thing
like such an organization so long ahead
OF campaign before. We will go
into the fight better prepared than
ever before. The nominee will be the
man who is most certain of carrying New
York, and do not know of anybody who
can do 1t except Mr.. Blaine" Accept Mr..
Manley's premises, says Mr.. Foord, and
there can be but one conclusion" that
Blaine's nomination is indispensable to Re-
publican success.
In view of the Butler diversion from the
Democratic party in 1854, Mr.. Foord SAYS
that he owed his defeat to his failure to poll
the normal strength of his own party" The
voting strength of the Republican party in
New York this year is shown to bear about
the same relation to that of the Democratic
party as 1t did four years ago-that is to
say, 1t is in minority of about 10000. 1t
was the 1900 votes cast for Butler in 1884
that brought Blaine within accidental sight
of the White House.
Mr.. Foord estimates-reasoning by COM
parison and analogy between the votes of
1888 and 1884 and of 1887 and 1SSS-that the
Democratic plurality in New York and
Kings counties next fall VIII be 1900, and
he sees no possibility of this being over
come by the Republicans of the other fifty
eight counties of tho State. He also esti-
mates that the Labor and Prohibition tickets
will poll $4,000, against the 1900 votes cast
for the third and fourth parties in 1884.
In conclusion Mr.. Foord refers to some
general facts which may give the Repub-
hcan party pause before again inviting de-
feat to vindicate Mr.. Blaine. He saws that
Cleveland's election can scarcely be claimed
as dismissing the charges made against MIR.
Blaine's character and record in 1884. Re-
publicans who voted for Mr.. Blaine under
protest are not likely to do so again. De-
mocracy will not spell ruin " to the con-
servative as it did in 1884. The only hope
of the Republican leaders who insist that
Mr. Blaine is the only leader who can carry
New York appears to be in the conciliation
of the dynamite faction of the Irish-Amer-
lean voters. Concessions to this faction, Mr..
Foord believes, "would not only involve
party dishonor but would be fraught with
potent elements of party disruption" The
way to victory for Republicans in New York
lies in the abandment of Blaine and Blaine
ism and in an appeal to the independent
voters.
Evidently Mr. Foord thinks the mug
wump still lives. And he is right.-Chicago

What's His Little Game?

Henry George isn't so alliterative as
Brother Burchard, hut he is likely to he
quite as mischievous to the cause he pre-
tends to espOuse, At meeting recently
he again antagonized the proposition that
the Labor party should make nominations
for the Presidential election, and said: 81
am for Cleveland, free trade, and no custom
houses
This coupling of Cleveland with "free
trade" says the Chicago Ner<, is wholly un-
warranted, and George must know it to be
so. Although our present tariff laws are
the vicious, inequitable and illogical
source of unnecessary taxation the Presi-
dent, in his famous tariff message, speci-
hcally disavowed any intention of entirely
abolishing taxation by import duties.
ut must" he SAID, "be extensively CON
tnued as the source Of the Governments
income; and In readjustment Of our tariff
the interests Of American labor should be
carefully considered as well as the preser-
walton of our manufacturers" This is rad
ically different from any cry Of free-trade
and no custom houses"
War-tarif advocates would be only too
glad il they could set up this false issue.
and Henry George seems to be lending him
self to their efforts to this end. That he Is
doing 90 Willingly and Of set purpose ad-
mits OF no question. He is not imbecile
enough to be ignorant Of the effect Of his NJ
terance.

A Sad Check in Nebraslsa.

The Republican club movement has met n
sad check IN Nebraska The New York or
gamer OF the movement was in Omaha last
week, and league of the State clubs had a
banquet, at which mapy speeches were de-
hvercd. But the Omaha Bee, Republican
paper given to truth-telling, says that the
occasion was seized upon by "the monopol-
lstlc and hummer factions" which haye
brought disaster upon the party in the past
and which "have again rallied under the
party flag with the disguised purpose to
keep the State under the domination of tho
railroads and iobbers.n
The Bee says that of all the Repu blicans
In Nebraska the most Extensively active
railroad politician is the general attorney of
the Union Pacific railroad, and that when
the Republican Club League placed him at
Its head, sit deliberately defied public sem
timent among the rank and file of the
party" while the choice of secretary
"simply added insult to injury" The con-
clusion Of the whole matter, in the Bec,s
opinion, is that the league of clubs ais
mainly designed for corporate political use.
and incidentally to become the lever for
operating the party machinery in the inter
est OF tho railway faction in the impending
State campaign" If things are going on
In this way, the much-vaunted policy of
organization" is not going to help tho

THE BLAINE PUZZLE.
He Is a Mystery to His own Party.

ne Is n myStery 10 own Party.
Mr.. Blaine is veritable old man of the
mountain to the Republican party. He is a
mystery that they can't solve, and appar-
emily an incumbrance that they can not get
rid Of just as the party had made up its
mind to renominate him, and preparations
were being made to give his Homecoming
In June the character of a triumphal march
across the continent, here came his letter
declining the nomination and upsetting
every thing.
1t required a second declaration from Mr.
Blaine to convince his party that he was in
earnest, says the st. Paul Globe, and the
party had hardly got settled in the comforta-
BILE conviction that it was rid of the embar-
easements of Mr.. Blaines candidacy when
the news flashes across the country that
Blaine's confidential friends and advisers
are holding secret meetings in Philadelphia
for the purpose of preparing plan to spring
him on the party again.
Mr.. Blaine is nothing if not dramatic and
1t is altogether within the range of probabil-
ity that his recent conduct has been shaped
with a view of working up startling situa-
tions and sensational ensemble in his can
didacy. There are, perhaps, no three men
in this country more fully in Mr.. Blaine's
confidence than Mr.. Childs, Mr.. Depew and
Chairman Jones. Mr.. Depew gives it out in
cold type that Mr.. Blaine is the only Repub-
hcan who has a good show for carrying New
York, and expresses the belief that when
Mr.. Blaine's name Is me ntioned in the Chi
cago convention it will create such furor
he will ride into the nomination on a whirl-
wind. In the meantime Mr.. Childs and Chair
man Jones have their heads together de-
vising plan for manufacturing the whirl.
wind.
Whatever else may be the outcome of the
Philadelphia caucus, one thing is certain.
These three friends of Mr.. Blaine are dig
ging political grave for him so deep that
he can never be resurrected from it. If
Mr.. Blaine really has no designs on the Re
publican nomination he ought to muzzle his
friends, because they are not only creating
the impression On the public mind that Mr..
Blaine Is dishonest man, but they are do
ing great injustice to other Republican
Presidential candidates. There are Sher-
man, Allison, Gresham, Harrison, Hiscock
and score Of others qualzing in their boots
every time Blaine's name Is mentioned. Re-
lying on Mr.. Blaine's sincerity In declining
to be candidate, they have respective
ly launched out their booms on uncertain
waters, and it is too bad to have them tossed
about In this reckless way.
1t is certain that if Blaine wants the nom
ination he can get it. If he doesn't want it,
and we are inclined to think he does not.
then his friends ought to quit this silly gab-
bic about an irresistible storm sweeping
over the convention and carrying him into
the nomination against his will Storms of
that character never come unless they have
been carefully worked up on the outside.
