THE LATEST BLAINE PROGRAMME.
The Dark Horse Blain: Men to Support Levi p.
Morton.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-[Special to the
Salt Lake Tribune-Copyright, 1888, by the
California Associated Press.]- The latest
Blaine programme talked about here is that
while his name will not be presented to the
Convention as q candidate, he really does
not think the other plan of the members of
the different delegations voting for him as
first choice, thus trying to force his nomina.
ton, will succeed. The dark horse Blaine
men are to support Levi P. Merton, of New
York.
One of the delegates from Louisiana is
authority for the statement that the delega-
ton will not be stampeded for Blaine.
Sherman may have five and possibly six
votes from the first. The majority of the
sixteen votes will be cast for Morton. The
explanation of the programme is tina. while
Blaine does not really believe it expedient
for him to receive the nomination he is
reported as saying that he has gone as far as
it is possible for him to 60. No man is au-
thorized, nc mar will dare in the face Of the
Florence letter, to present his name. He
does not believe he has the right to say in
advance that he will not accept the nomina-
ton if rendered him. That would in his
judgment be debating to the party from
which he has thrice sought the honor; but if
Morton be nominated he would be entirely
willing to give him his earnest support and
rest confident of recognition and influence
under the administration.

THE POSTAL
Its Ineficieney and Insuficiency Discussed.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-The House went
into committee of the whole on the post
Office appropriation bill. On motion of
Blount, of Georgia, the appropriation for
more messenger ser, ice was increased from
5000, 900 to $95O,O0O. Perkins, Of Kansas,
speaking to the verbal amendment again
entered the complaint Of the people of the
West against the insufficient mail service,
which he asserted was now being given to
that section. He had read extracts from
various letters and papers received by him
in support of his assertions. Toole, of
Montana, and Voorhees,, of Washington
Territory, voiced the wishes of the people of
the territories for q more efficient mail SER
vice than they were now receiving Cannon,
OF Illinois, attributed the inef1iciency of the
service in the West, not to a lack of sufficient
appropriations. but to the fact that competent
men have been discharged and incompetent
men put in their places. Blount said the
record would disclose the fact that changes
i'll the mail service had been gradual, and
today the rate of merit was higher than it
has ever been before. Symes, of Colorado,
criticized the postof6ce department for made
quate management in the Star Route services.
He declared that they had been deceived
about the latter. He wanted the RESPONSE
bility placed where it belonged, and he was
satisfied it should rest upon the back of sthe
''picayune second postmaster general"
After further desultory debate the commit
tee rose and the bill passed.

The Missoula Gazette is troubled about q
supposed deal at Livingston, and thinks Col.
Estes was the victim Of q bargain and sale.
On the contrary the 80 votes for Col. Estes
was = high compliment. The fact that his
friends desired his name presented was not
made known to the Deer Lodge county dele
CATION until . few hours before the Conven-
ton met. That delegation was not instructed
or pledged for anybody. Judge Galbraith
had desired it distinctly understood that he
was in favor of Allison. The Convention
was strongly In for Blaine If he should be .
possible candidate. The Madison county
delegation, which were instructed for Gal.
braith and Waters, was not represented, and
Waters had withdrawn. The Deer Lodge
delegates were primarily favorable to Eaton,
and made no trades with anybody for any
body or anything, then or thereafter. When
1t was known Col. Estes would 60 if elected
they went to work for him and-did pretty
we'll. 1t was too late when his candidacy
was made known, as most Of the delegations
were committed before, and Missoula, which
under ordinary circumstances would have
been expected to vote with Silver Bow and
Deer Lodge, had made up its ticket. The
question Of candidate for Delegate to Con-
gress cut no figure in the actions If tie West
Side delegations, and neither of the three
persons mentioned by the Gazette will be
candidates. .:'.~

Where Randall Draws the Line.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-Ttere has been
no little rejoicing among the Democrats IN
Congress over the result of the Harrisburg
Convention. The endorsement of President
Cleveland aid tariff reform is hailed as q
good omen. Chairman Mills was in an un-
usually happy mood yesterday morning and
rubbed his hands together gleefully. awe
are knocking them out" he said, call along
the line. Talk about passing this ball, why,
it will go through ike a breeze, and scarcely
without an amendment, too."
Congressman Randall was the center OF a
group of Democrats. When approached by
your correspondent and asked his opinion on
the result of the Harrisburg convention he
replied tartly: "Harrisburg don't bother me
at all. If l thought for moment that the
Convention voiced the sentiments of the
great body of the Democratic voters in
Pennsylvania, I should be bothered. But 1t
does moi. It does voice, however, the senti-
ments of the great body Of Pennsylvania
Democratic office holders. Therefore | say
Harrisburg don't bother me at all. Having
heard from the office holders, wait a bit and
hear from the voters on election day."

OUT OF H RACE.
Blaine CONSTITUTES His Florence Letter and
Would Not Accept If Nominated.
Some unwise Friends Gently Rebuked.

NEW YORK, May 29.-The Tribune to day
publishes the following letter from Mr..
Blaine:
PARIS, May 17.-WH1rELAw REID, Esq:
MY DEAR SIR: On my return to Paris from
Southern Italy on the 9Th inst. 1 have
learned (what I did not before b%elieve) that
my name may yet be presented to the Ma
tIonal Convention as q candidate for the
Presidency of the Republican party. A
single phrase of my letter of January rs
from Florence (Which was decisive Of every
thing l had a personal power to deci'le) has
been treated by many of my most valued
friends as not absolutely conclusive, in ulti-
mate and possible contingencies. On the
other hand, friends equally devoted and
disinteres.ed have construed my letter Gas
it should be construed) to be an uncondi-
tional withdrawal of my name from the
National Convention. They have in con.
sequence given their opinion to eminent gen.
tlemen who are candidates for the Chicago
nomination, some of whom would not,I am
SukVs u0SO NOuScuGCu W 6SSuu00 Lu0t pOSl.
ton if I had desired to represent. the party in.
the presidential contest of 1888. If l should
now by speech or silence, commission or odnis-
sion, permit my name in any even. to come
before the convention, | should incur the re-
proach of being uncandid with those who
have always been candid with me. I speak
therefore because I am not willing to remain
in q doubtful attitude. l am not willing
to be the cause Of misleading a single man
among the millions who have given me
their suffrages and their confidence. I am
not willing that even one Of my faithful
supporters in the past should think me capa-
BILE of paltering in q double sense with my
words. Assuming that the Presidential
nomination could by any possible chance
be offered to me, l would not accept it with.
out leaving in the minds of thousands of
these men the impression l had not been
free from indirection, and therefore 1 could
not accept it at all. The Misrepresentation
of malice have no weight, but the just dis
pleasure of friends I could not patiently
endure. A Republican victory, the prospect
of which grows brighter every day, can be
imperilled only by lack of unity in council
or by acrimonious contest over men. The
issue of protection is intellectually stronger
and greater than any man, for it concerns
the prosperity Of the present and the genera
lions yet to come. Were it possible for
every voter of the Republic to see for him
self the condition and recompense of labor
IN Europe, the party of free trade in the
United states would not receive the support
of one wage-worker between the two oceals.
1t may not be directly in our power as
philanthropists to elevate the European
ladorer, but it will be a lasting stigma upon
our craftsmanship if we permit the American
laborer to be placed down to the European
level and in the end the rewards of labor
everywhere will be advanced if we refuse to
lower the standard at home. Yours very
sincerely,
JAMES G. BLAINE.

George Should Come West.

NEW YORK, May 29.-Henry George was
expelled last night from the twenty third
assembly district of the central labor party,
Charges were preferred against him to the
effect that he had visited Washington and
Immediately afterwards advocated the
utilization of the united labor party with the
democratic party. The -ollowing was passed:
"Resolved-Tha: we consider the course
pursued by Henry George as q member Of
the united labor party as unmanly, void Of
the principle of q gentleman, his action that
of = traitor, and not desiring his fellowship
any longer, we declare him expelled from
the organization."
CHICAGO, May 2s.-The executive com
mittee of the United Labor party Of Chicago
decided tonight that owing to the multi
plicity of labor tickets in the field, separate
action by laboring people would not be efec-
tive in the present campaign. It was there
upon voted to throw the strength of the
organization to the democratic state ticket,
particularly 10 the nominee for governor,
General John NJ. Palmer.

A New YORK special says: "The Free
Masons of the Consolidated Exchange are
being worried . good deal by the non-Masons
Of that organization. The Chairman OF the
Exchange. Mr.. Peters, is also the Worshipful
Master of = Masonic lodge. He was sitting
on the Exchange rostrum when q member of
his lodge entered, and advancing to the mid
die of the floor, saluted Peters in true Ma.
sonic style. 1t appeared that the new conner
had attended = lodge celebration the previous
night, and his brain was still . Bit foggy. In
vulgar parlance, he "had been on q jag."
Seeing Peters with gavel in hand, be thought
he was in the lodge. The individual with
the foggy brain was rapidly hustled out into
the street aud into . cab. Otherwise he
would have given the whole secrets of the
lodge away.

Confederate Monument.

JACKSON, Miss, May 25.-More than10, 600
persons witnessed the ceremony connected
with the laying of the corner stone of the
Confederate monument here. Eight military
companies, a number of benevolent associa-
lions, about one hundred war veterans and a
large Masonic representation were in line.
Upon arriving at the States Capitol building,
Miss Winnie Davis was conducted to the Ii
brary chamber and formerly introduced to
the large crowd by Governor Lowery. The
ceremonies at the monument followed and
were opened by the reading Of = letter
from Mr.. Davis explaining his absence.
Col. ChAs. E. Hooker delivered the Grafton.
and at the close presented Miss Davis with q
silver crown, to be given by her to her father.
The crown is the gift Of three Mississippi
gentlemen. Its presentation was unexpected,
not having beer announced in the pro-
gramme. The laying Of the cornerstone
with Masonic IN closed the exer-
cises of the day.

holders, including the complainant, in pur-
suanc of which they had all the CONSOLE
dated Virginia ore crushed at the mills of
the Comstock Mining Company, organized
by themselves. On this ore they charge
from 81 to 50 per ton more for milling than
the other mill companies would have done,
thereby %defraudiag the stockholders, it is
claimed, out of fully $Ss0,000. In addition
it is claimed defendants as directors of the
Nevada Bank charged commissions for the
sale of bullion, whereby they again swindled
the stockholders out of over $4,000. Other
charges are laid, and the complainant asks
that defendants be compelled to account for
these sums; that all contracts between the
Consolidated Virginia and the Comstock

A Perilous

GLENwooD SPRINGS, Colo, May 25.-
Especial to the Salt Lake Tribune-Copy-
right, 1888, by the California Associated
Press. John c. and Matthew D. Carr
started last night in a torpedo boat from the
crest OF the Rocky Mountains for a pleasure
trip of 1000 miles down the Grand and COL
orado rivers to the Gulf of California. The
boat is as roun as a barrel and sharrened
at both ends. II was built by the voyagers,
who made some money in Aspen mines.
The boat has no rudder. The oars are used
through holes in the side. The men see
through manholes. The boat is twenty feet
long and three and a half feet in diameter.
A big crowd saw the voyagers off.

NEARING CONVENTION TIME.

The Democrats meet in Convention at St.
Louis next week to nominate their and
dates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency.
The name of the party who will contest with
MI. Cleveland has not been mentioned yet
neither, in fact, has there been any particular
mention of any one to 60 on the ticket with
him. Humans name was sprung up last
week as one willing to sccept, and the Dem
ocrats swung their hats and vowed he was
their choice first, last and all the time, when
10, the old gentleman said he had not been
consulted about the use Of his name, and he
very positively declined. The Democrats, to
have a real harmonious ticket, should nomi-
nate Cleveland and Dan Lamont or, better
still, Lamont and Cleveland. Then, if cleo
ted, they could take turns going a fishing,
and if not elected they could both go.
President Cleveland will he r~e-numinated
despite his depreciation of the second term
business when he was SO anxious to get the
first. But it Is the best judgment Of the
country that, unless the Republicans make
some grievous blupder, Mr.. Cleveland, not
w~ithstanding his hundred thousand office
holders and all the machinery of government
working in his interest, cannot be elected.
His free trade, or rather anti protection, the
cries, will defeat him.. He has made that the
issue and the platform, he has dashed the ad-
ministratlon Democrats to it, and the coun-
try will not have it. It is a wrong principle,
and will be overwhelmed at the polls.
Whether the Mills bill pass or not, Cleve-
land is personally committed to the Mills bill
sentiment, or rather the bill is a formulation
of his sentiments. The theories and purposes
Of that bill are hostile to American welfare,
and the country will Tot trust in the Presi-
Dental chair the man who favors and advo-
Gates them. No matter what the resolutions
may be, Cleveland and Cleveland's message
constitute the platform, and they will be
tried before the great jury in November with
out regard to the irrelevant testimony offered
at st. Louis.
With a well.selected Republican ticket and
a clear expression of the principles of the
party, there will be at most only four doubt
full Northern States this year-New York,
New Jersey, Indiana and Connecticut. If
the Republicans carry New York and lose
the others, they win. If they can carry In
diana and Now Jersey, or Indiana and Con-
necticut, they can lose New York and win.
1t is not even certain the Democrats can
carry all the Southern States, and one or
more of these lost would still further lessen
Cleveland's chances. He appears to nave at
last wholly ignored the demands of the Mug.
wumps, as was necessary for him to keep his
party in the traces, and If the Republicans
make a wise nomination., New York will al
most certain1v % Rennhlican The condi.
tions, however, assure a very closely con-
tested campaign. Neither party dare blunder
badly.
