What Mr.. Blaine's Friend SAYS.

Chicago Special: Ex-senator Dorsey OF
New Mexico, generally recognized as one OF
MIR. Blaine's confidential friends, was ask
ed here what he thought Of John II.
Manly's declarations that MIR. Blaine's
letter is not to be regarded as final, but is
to be considered only as an announcement
that he was not striving for the honor.
Mr.. Dorsey replied:
Manly is not a good friend OF Blaine's in
saying so. After that letter it would be
impOssib lie for him to be nominated. The
letter released many friends from their OBJ
legations to him, and they would not sup.
port him for the nomination. There vas
no one on the national committee who
knew that the letter was coming except
Elkins. There are a good many who are
saying they expected il. Blaine certainly
not intended to decline the nomination
when he wrote the Paris letter. He made
up his mind afterward and made q final
resolution. lie withdrew because there
was an evident opposition to his nomina.
ton, and his election, if nominated. is
doubtful. ] believe the reason he with
drew was because he didn't think he could
CARRY New York, and rather than run
again and he defeated, he chose to decline
at a time when he could do SO with credit
to himself aud the party"

resolution of the Republican club OF Cres-
ton, Iowa, ~fayoring a measure granting
to each union soldier and sailor who serv-
ed either in the war with Mexico or that OF
the rebellion a pension upon the sole con.
dition that said soldier or sailor was hon
orably discharged from said service.
The resolution for an inquiry into the
causes OF the Inefficient mail service was
taken mp, and Mr., Plumb, who had intro.
duced il, said that if Mr.. Reagan's argu-
ment in defense Of the postmaster-general

memorial from the constitutional conven-
tion OF Dakota regarding the proposed
measures for the admission OF the terri
tory. 1t is signed by j. j. Edgerton,
president, and John Cain, secretary. 1t
was laid ON the table and ordered printed.
Among the bills introduced in the senate
were the following:
Mr.. VOORHEES,, to increase the pensions OF
those who rave lost a limb or two limbs
or both eyes. Mi. Platt, to prohibit
members of territorial legislatures iron.
holding Office. Mr.. Sawyer, authorizing
the appointment oi eleven railway mail
superintendents. Mr.. Turpie, to grant

ing for the ratification OF the agreement

A bill passed the house to prohibit any

Bills introduced in the house:
Mr.. Townshend, permitting farmers

to prohibit fictitious and gambling trans

Pennsylvania, authorizing the secretary
OF the treasury to loan the surplus money
in the treasury. Mr.. Smith OF Wisconsin,
Tor the establishment OF a postal telegraph
system. Mr.. Guenther OF Wisconsin, to
regulate telegraph companies.
The house considered the bill Furnishing
the advertisers OF lotteries tickets in the
District OF Columbia. 1t was opposed by
Mr.. Rogers OF Arkansas upon constitu-
tiona grounds. The bill would prevent
any paper, no matter where published,
from coming into the district, and would
infringe the liberty OF the press. Mr..
Cummings of New York said the bill
applied undoubtedly to papers published
outside, but circulating in the District OF
Columbia. II congress had a right to pre-
scribe what should be printed in the ad.
vertisement column OF a newspaper, it had
a right to exercise a censorship over the
editorial and news columns. The
house was playing with fro; it
would better blow out the match AMI
avoid a c~onhagration. Mr.. Guenther OF
! Wisconsin regretted the growing tendency
in this country toward the methods of
monarehiaI Europe. He was opposed to
a censorship of the press because it was
un-American, u~nrepubiican and lin this
easel uncalled for. The bill was referred
to the committee on iudiciary-yeas lit,
