BLAINE WILL NOT ACCEPT.

A Second Letter frcm Blaine Declining to be
Candidate for President.
NEW YORK, May 30.-The Tribune
of to-day publishes the following letter
from Mr.. Blaine:
PARIS, May II, 1888.
whitelaw Reid. Esq, Editor New York Trib
MY DEAR SIR-Since my return to
Paris from southern Italy on the Sth
inst. have learned what did not be-
fore belieYe) that nv name may yet be
presented to the national convention
as a candidate for the presidential
nomination of the republican party.
A single phrase of my letter of Janu-
airy Is from Florence (which was decis-
i've of everything had the personal pow
or to:decide) has been treated by many
of my most valued friends as not abSo-
luteIy conclusive in ultimate and posi-
bic contingencies. On the other hand,
friends equally devoted and disinter-
ested have considered my letter las it
should be considered) to be an uncon-
ditional Withholding of my name from
the national convention. They have in
consequence given their support to en-
inent gentlemen who are candidates
whom would not, / am sure,
have consented to assume
that position. If / had desired to re-
present the party in the presidential
contest of 1888 If should now by speech
or by silence, by commission or omission
permit my name in any event to come
before the convention, / should incur
the reproach of being uncandid with
those who haYe always been candid
with me. ! speak therefor because l
am not willing to remain in doubtful
oftifrIdn 7 mt WILLING Tn hR the
cause of misleading a single man
among the millions who have given
me their suffrageS and there confidence.
am not willing thai even one of my
faithful supporters in the past should
think me capable of paltering in
doubtful sense with my
presidential nomination could
by any possible choice be offered to me
/ could not accept it without leaving
in the minds of thousands of these men
the impression that had not been
free from indirection and therefore
could not accept it at all. The miSrep-
reservations of malice have no weight,
but the Just displeaSure of friends
could not patiently endure. The re-
publican victory, the prospects of
which grow brighter every day, can be
imperiled only by lack of unity IN con-

men. The issue of protection is meal
culably greater and stronger
than any man, for it concerns the
prosperity of the present and of gener-
atoms yet to come, and were it possible
for every voter of the republic to see
| for himself the condition and recon-
pense of labor in Europe the party of FREE
trade in the American states would not
receive the support of our wagework-
ers. Between the two oceans it may
not be directly in our power as philan'
thropistS to elevate the European la
borer, but it will be a lasting stigmaup
our craftsmanship if we permit the

labor everywhere viii be advanced i

Eaten BY Bears.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, June Ia
few days ago Ben Shipley, farmer OF
Whitehall township, this county, sent
his little girl, eleven years old to q
neighboring farmer for milk. The
failure of the child to return alarmed
her parents and the investigation that
followed leads to the conclusion that
she was killed by a bear. The farmers
in the neighborhood started out In
large searching parties and have dis
covered upmistakable evidence OF the
presence of bears in the locality where
the little one was last seen. The fact
that a number of sheep were killed
and a portion of the girls clothes pick
ed up, leaves little doubt that she was
deYOured.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May 3O.-State
EntOmologist Prof. S. A. Forbes has
written to Secretary Mills, of the azri-
cultural board, that he finds cut worms
of various species more numerous this
year throughout Central and South Hi
nOis than he has ever known them be-
fore, The fact Is due doubtless to the
Westher during the last three years
The root web worm is also especially
abundant, and likely to join with the
cut worm in doing serious mischief.
When corn is planted, and after the
grass. the same circumstances which
have promoted the development Of the
cut worm are likewise favorable to the
increase Of the army worm.
