BLAINE'S TRICK ERY
EACH DAY BECOMING MORE AND
MORE APPARENT

His Friends Say That if Nominated He
win not Feel at Liberty to Deciine-H
He saw, Nothing More He VIII be the
Nominee.
WAsHrSGroS. .May5-The Philadelphia
Times publishes special from New
York TO the effect that the friends of Mr..
Blaine had, within the last three days,
received direct from him his assent TO an
aggressive movement for his denomination
Cor President and the assurance that X
nominated, in the face OF his Florence
letter OF declinaiion, he would not feel al
liberty TO decline.
The general impression at the Capitol
and about town appears to be that the
report is not true I'D the extent Oh being
based upon direct communication from
Mr. Blaine. but il has abundant jusIifi'
cation in an evident expectation on the
part Of his friends that Blaine will accept
The nomination if rendered to him.
BY some of the most observant politi-
clans the report is regarded as part OF a
deliberate plan by Mr.. Blaine's rivals TO
force an absolute and unequivocal state
ment of his position and intentions.
With few exceptions the Republican
members repudia,e the dispatch and say
it's another Munchausen yarn.
The Democratic members are inclined
| 20 regard the story as true, and say that
nothing but failing health can prevent
Mr.. Blaine's denomination.
Congressman Dngey said to Crttie
reporter Il have no hesitancy in pro-
nouncing the story pure invention. MIR.
Blaine is no fool. There are plenty Of
candidates for the nomination. but MIR.
Blaine is not one of them. Still if the
| Republican party wants Mr.. Blaine for
| its standard bearer, and thinks him the
strongest man with the people, and he is
nominated with unanimi,y, then he ought
TO accept
General Tom Browne of Indiana said
u" | believe the statement published to be
| a lie and a very weak lie al that. il such
a statement were true ii would write Mr.
| Blaine down as an ass with big \. Mr.
Blaine may be nominated, but it will no.
be by his seeking"
Nj. Burrows said There is not d
word OF truth in it. Mr. Blaine is a man
of good sense and 80 fool"
"But do you think he'll b. nomina-
ted ="
IF lie says nothing more believe he'll
be the nominee of his party"
Delegate Smith of Arizona said Il am
not surprised that Mr. Blaine should
write such a letter. l;have always be
lieved that he will be the nominee of his
party, because he is the strongest leader
the Republicans have
Mr.. T0wnshend was inclined 10 doubt
the reliability of the dispatch, but said 1t
was in the range of probabilities. He is
Of the opinion that Mr.. Blaine will be
his party's standard bearer.
Congressman Phelps of New Jersey,
senator Frye, and C6ngressmen Milliken
and Boutelle Of Maine all denied last
night having any knowledge Of the re-
ported change Of Mr. Blaine's inten-
tons

IyAsE-E ALL NOTES
Results of the Games Played by the Nm
tionai League.

The results of the games thrs far
played have been q surprise TO all the
knowing ones, and tend to verify The say
ing that base. ball is a mighty " unsariin
thing
For instance. the Detroit Club last year
won the pennant hands down, and now
the same team find great difficulty IN
capturing games from second-raie ciups.
The Phillies. TOO. who we're generally
though: sure Of place, are losing
straight ahead; hut this may be attributed
~ the absence of Fergu on, their bcsi
pitcher and utility man. His death was
announced last week, and caused deep
regret throughout the baseball circles.

The addition of Dunlop seems to have

though excellent players, seem 10 bc
Jonahs wherever they go, and 1t looks az
if indianapolis was not to be an eXcep
ton
The New York Club is playing is
average strong game, and, but for Lack OF
harmony and club-strength, there is no
reason why they should not capture the
pennant
And now we come 10 the BOstOns, and
in this club all Riclmonders ought 10 feel
peculiar interest, for in its ranks are
three old Richmonders-Nash, Johnston,
and Tate. The directors Of this club
have, by buying several prominent play
ers, and educating as many more, gotten
together a winning team. and judging
from present appearances they have the
best chance of coming of victorious.
ack OF both individual and club
strength doom tie Senators to the tail
end. and unless radical changes are e.
fccied they are apt to remain there.
