Still Talking of Blaine.

1t is noticeable that in all the gossip about
the probable action of the Chicago conven-
ton which finds its way into the news
papers the name of Mr.. Blaine constantly
| appears So warm a supporter of Gov.
| Alger as ex-CoDgressman Horn, of Michi-
gan, said day or two ago, when he was
ABOUT to start from New York for Chicago
that he thought the session of the conven-
tion would be long one, and that his friend
Alger would get the nomination if Mr..
Blalnes name were not brought forward.
de also stated that if there were a
deadlock, and some delegate were to
say, "Well. let us put up Blaine again;
he's the man we all want, anyhow; let us
nominate him and take the chances" the
convention would be aroused to the highest
enthusiasm, and Mr.. Blaine would be nomi-
mated with a rush and roar that would be
something like a cyclone.
There is no doubt a growing feeling
among the republicans that Blaine must be
nominated, and must be induced to accept
the nomination if it is offered him. 1t is due
to the belief that he is by far the strongest
man they can nominate. 1t seems strange,
however, that there should be so
much more confidence in his chances
for success than in those of
any other candidate 1t is true that he
made good race in 1884, and came within
a thousand or two votes of being elected,
| but it doesn't follow that he would come as
near being elected this year as he did in
that year. The friends of the dead Conk
ling would not support him to any greater
extent than they did in 1884, and it looks as
If the Independent voters had made up their
minds to support Mr.. Cleveland
There is no doubt, however, that there is
a very strong, but quiet movement to bring
about his nomination. 1t is talked of freely
in New York, and in Chicago the politicians
who are already assembling there speak of
| 1T in way to indicate that they are pre-
pared to see it assume formidable proper
tions by the time the convention assemblies
OF course it will have to be pretty clearly
demonstrated that the convention cannot
agree upon any other candidate before Mr.
| Blaines name is introduced, but it will not
be difficult matter to do that. The dele
gates are now pretty well divided among
four or five candidates, and little shrewd
management can keep them divided until
the right moment comes for the
introduction of Mr. Blaines name Assum-
ing that Mr.. Blaine was entirely sincere
when he wrote his letters saying that he
was not and could not be a candidate, it
doesn't follow that he could not consistently
accept the nomination if it came to him
unsought, and after it had been demon
strated that the convention could not agree
upon any other candidate.

1t appears that Congressman George D.
Tillman of South Carolina has considerable
opposition in his race for denomination.
Mr.. Tillman has persistently opposed Mr..
Cleveland's administration, and there are
in his district a good many people who
prefer a congressman who will stand by
the administration in its efforts to reduce
taxation. or course the republican organs
will declare that Mr.. Cleveland is himself
trying to punish Mr.. Tillman, but he is not.
The cause that Mr.. Cleveland represents is
the peoples cause, and they will resent op-
position to it.

Gen. Ayers friends take the trouble to
deny that he will spend $4,000, 900 to get
the republican presidential nomination and
to secure his election. This man Alger

probable that he will disburse 5000, 600
nor one-twentieth of that amount, to accom-
plish the objects above named. Indeed, it
is doubtful whether he has fortune of the

Mistaken Manufacturers.

The manufacturers Of jute bagging and
cotton ties constantly make the mistake of
asserting that the cotton planters are not
burdened by the tariff on these articles, for
the reason that they get more than the cost
of them when they sell their cotton. This
mistake has been pointed out time and time
again, but still the manufacturers persist in
it. They reiterated it before the senate sub
committee on finance on Monday, as APP
peared in our dispatches.
1t is true that the planter gets the same
price for the jute bagging and cotton ties
in which his cotton is sent to market that
he gets for the cotton, but he does not get
as much for his cotton per pound as he
would if the weight of the bagging and ties
were deducted. The prices of cotton are
fixed with the understanding that there is
percentage Of material ia each bale that
is not cotton.
II the bagging and ties were not paid for
at the same prices paid for cotton, better
prices would be obtained for cotton. If, for
instance, $45 is paid for $50 pound bale of
cotton, of which ten pounds are bagging
and ties, SAG would be paid for the same
bale if it were all cotton.
This statement chat planter gets more
for the bagging and ties in which his cotton
is wrapped than they cost him has been
frequently used in congress, and probably
by those who know that it is not correct.
1t will continue to be used, however, as
long as there is a chance of deceiving those
whom it is intended to influence

The design for the monument to the
policemen who were killed in the Hay
market affair, Chicago, has been changed,
and instead of a policeman with a club in
his hand, a female figure, austerely draped,
and holding aloft an open book, will be pre-
sented. The figure will represent law, and
the book will represent the statutes, the
idea being that law and order have
triumphed over anarchism. 1t has also
been decided, it seems, to place the monu-
ment in Union park, as the Haymarket,
surrounded with factories and saloons, is
not very well suited for q work of art.
