very Interesting condition." AID since the
Knight of the White P.uue's second
acute attack CT epistles, there have beeG
symptoms Of internal complications In

cate, peculiar, interesting AID aggra-
v.ted" "Wno sna!l De heir to Blaine ?i
is the question. Thst there will be an
heir is evident from the signs, bu: what
is worse, the signs indicate s multiplicity
Of heirs. Only enc con Of Olio, tie doc
tors feel, should be presented s. the
baplismsl font at CnicEgo, but she has
conceived not only one male heir, but
two; yes, three; In fsct, 9 litter.
In the order Of thsir lustiness they may
be enumerated as Senator John SlermsD,
Governor B. Foraker, Congressman
William Mckinley and Congressman Bat
terworth. II General John Beatty, for
merly banner-bearer for James G.
Blaine, is 10 be believed, the list is in
complete, for he declares thst "everT
man in OHIO is an sspirant for Pfes!den-
tiAl honors"
To lock a. the facts SIS they &re now
presented it is apparent that the Paris
letter was unexpected, and while it is
satisfactory to the friends, admirers,
hackers and henchmen OF Sherman and
Foraker, it has disturbed the regular
camp followers Of Blame, who, Though
ready to fall in line for the knight of
the White Plume, are not inclined &c
rally as one man behind tie banner OF
| either Shermsn or Foraker. II this way
Mckinley comes forward, ara his cdhe-
rents grow more numerous every day.
The boilers from the B!siEe camp turn to
Sherman as their leaier.
AS the pretentions Ct Mckinley are, 8.
the present writing, 10 the third place he
may be quickly disposed OF 10 brief par
Agrspn. His friends and followers N
| pressing him forward are merely doing II
to advertise him. TIey have little belief
that the delegates will bring up his name
| before the convention even after their e.
forts to nominate Sherman or Foraker.
| This show &c do" st home is done for
the purpose Of making him better can
didate for the Senate nfxt year in Sena-
tor Payne's place. Strange to say, the
! Mckinley movement IS growing in favor
Butterw0rsh expects even less, but he

TWO AsPIRANTs CT DIFFERENT DEGREE.
1t Is not TO be doubted for 6 moment
that the f0rty-six delegates will go to the
convention ready to form In line for
Sherman. Tie question is, how long will
they remain solid2 And this is the corn
on the Sherman toe that the Foraker men
step on. Forake1's ambition will only be
satisfied when ais name is put up, and
that is when the delegates swing over
from Sherman to Foraker.
Now, will they?
The Forsker Club, 1000 strong, are 60
ing on to Chicago Ia honor of Foraker,
and Is, 000 photographs OF Foraker have
been sent on-hsrdly, tits TO be supposed,
in honor OF Sherman.
Sherman has been pulling wires at the
Washington end and Foraker has been
pulling them here. The handsome Gov
ernCr OF OHIO modestIy denies this, de-
Glazing thAt he is rot candidate, and
still CALAMITY admits he would not "run
and jump in the river to avoid It." The
fact is, the handsome Governor has
| friends and some Of them think 1t is
necessary to trot him cut in the big Cal
csgo circus on account Of The rebel f3g
episode, where not few think the chief
ixecutive Of this sovereign st4te. Nigh.
have said with truth, g pray thss write
me down an ass"
Forxker'5 friends think il he reeses
the vote of the OHIO delegation as unit
| it will be evidence to the country az large
| that the state approves Of his conduct.
Furthermore, If his pressure csn acquire
additional weight it will make him con-
spicuous and eligible for cabinet office,
and, failing IN that, make him strong
candidate for the Senate. TaiJ his friends
now csll the "Vindicstior Of Foraker"
and put forward to all men believing In
the non-surrender Of rebel figs to urge
upon the delegates his name as their
choice.
YAULTING AMBITION.
Foraker's amoidon outweighs his
worth yet IL is as effective with his fol-
lowers as profound knowledge OF the
sffairs of state, and perhaps twice as dsn-
gerous. The delegation, the Republicans
say, can not be relied upon. Il VIII vote
for Sherman, but the grave question is
how long it will remain solid, and how
long il will be bef)re the FOrske- element
carries it over to press the name OF For
sker.
While the youug men of the psrty have
sought young chief, the older and wiser
heads endeavor to persuade them to
listen to the name Of John Sher-
man. 1t is urged that there is not
one in all the Republican rank
and fe better qualified to be its leader
now thai Blsipe has thrown down the
marshaps bstop, to Champion its priEci-
pies IN the coming campaign. His nom
instiou would not only be wholly sstis
factory to the state and gratifying to
state pride, but would be welcomed by
I1diapa if Harrison fstls, and to Illinois
II Gresham is not favored by other states
This evidence Of the willingness Of neigh
boring states TO rally about the frat
choice OF Olio makes the Republicans OF
the state doublY sore against Fora kcr, who
