Gen. Alger on Mr.. Blaine.

Gen. Russell \. Alger, who is himself a
prominent candidate for the Chicago nomina-
tion, said this week to an interviewer In New
York
'Mr Blaine was unquestionably sincere in
his letter from Florence The latest report
from him. that he refuses to decline a nomina-
tion before It is rendered, but adheres to his
Florence letter, only seems to strengthen the
belief that he was sincere in the withdrawal
of his name. There Is no necessity for him to
say anything more, unless he has changed his
mind and is willing to become a candidate
If he has changed his mind he is doing injus.
tice to other candidates in not informing them
Of the fact since but for his Florence letter
no one would have been in the field. Ny own
state would have been solidly for him, and
the nomination would have been rendered to
him unanimously"
"Do you think his letter debars him from ac.
cepting a nomination II rendered to himg"
mot If 1t should come after an earnest
effort on the part of the convention to settle
on some one else. But If 1t should be the re.
suit Of pressure from Mr.. paine's friends,
which means the same thing as a candidacy,
think 1t would be impossible for him to ac
cept the nomination.. The fact Is that none of
those who are pressing Mr. Blaine have any
knowledge of his positive intentions. They
do not know whether he will accept. If they
stood aside the convention would select some
one else, in my judgment. But, ii they are
right In their Judgment, and the convention
could not agree, then II 1t should go back to
Mr., Blaine, he would be our strongest canli-
date. do not see how he can accept n nomi-
nation unless 1t comes in that way, There is
considerable hestancy about speaking out
when Mr., Blainc's name Is mentioned, be.
cause his friends are powerful in the party
and the man who speaks out Is apt to be re.
gardcd as antagonistic to Mr. Blaine and to
draw their censure, ! believe, however, in
perfect frankness, AS one of 5O.OOO,OOO peo-
pie, am only an atom, and the success Of the
Republican party is more important than the
success Of any man or his friends. If Mr..
Blaine is nominated, as have said, after the
struggle to unite on some other candidate has
failed, then and only then, will he be the
strong candidate before the people"

The Presidential Outlook.

As the time for the meeting Of the ma
tional conventions approaches discussion of
probable or possible candidates and of the
chances of the election are becoming more
and more common.
So far as the Democratic convention is
concerned, with the exception of the New
York Sun, the nomination of President
Cleveland by acclamation is conceded, with
u platform OF his own making, and the only
discussion Is as to who shall be given the
second place. u current comment in the
papers of the day is correct, President
Cleveland, besides nominating himself aud
making his platform, proposes also to re-
strict the party in naming his running
mate,
A very different condition exists as to the
Republican convention. The party is not
bound to the chariot wheel Of any con-
qucror, and compelled to do his bidding,
but has host of distinguished men from
whom to select and whose names will be
presented to it,
1t would be aiIectation not to say that
while Mr. Blaine has positively refused to
he a candidate there are many Republicans
who believe that in despite of his own feel
ings he should be drafted into the service of
the party, and who also believe that If this
is done, Mr.. Blaine will sacrifice his per
sonal feelings at the bchest of his party.
This, however, is all a matter Of coniec-
ture, and must be left to the convention to
decide. 1t must be well understood that
the next Republican convention will be a
body of earnest, able patriots and partisans.
These men will meet to confer as to what is
best for the country and the party, for they
know that the success of the Republican
party will be for the benefit of the whole
country
Knowing this fact, and inspired by these
views, the members of the Republican con-
ventiOn will hold frank, free, and friendly
| conference, in which personal preferences
will he set aside for the good OF the whole.
Such council, governed by such mo-
tivcs, composed Of the ablest men of the
country, both in and out of the convention,
will not make any mistakes. The princi-
pies of the Republican party are well
known and sharply defined. The leading
| questions in the coming campaign are set.
tied in advance of the meeting of the con.
vention, so that the only subject for consid-
Grafton will be, "Who most truly represents
the principles Of the party and can secure
the largest vote9n
To arrive at the solution of that question
will be the work of the convention, and
there is not the shadow Of doubt but that q
proper conclusion will be reached, and the
result will be the selection at Chicago of the
next President and Vice President of the
| United States
The people of the country will ratify tn,
action of the Republican convention, be
cause they see danger to the country.

Will. some kind soul inform the REpuBLr-
CAN why 1t is that all the people who go to
theaters don't some time, by accident take 1t
into their heads to go on the same night Why
Is II that In the course of Il week that II often
happens that the house is just evenly filed
every night! Why Is IL that the receipts for q
whole week do not vary more than ten or
twelve, and seldom more than fifty, dollars on
the night? In a city like New York or Lon
don piece often has run of six months or a
year, with full houses all the time, but very
few, II any, turned away. How is II that
audiences Of just such particular size will
distribute themselves over such large periody
What law is it that regulates the attendance
at theaters and makes the audiences almost
uniform? There can't be an understanding
among the people as to who will go and who
will not. The size of the audience Is in
ono sense purely accidental, and the puzzle
IL, how series Of accidents can be of so
uniform a character Why is It that some
time everybody doesn't conclude to 90 Mon
day night, or Wednesday night, or at some
other particular time Is there any reason why
an accident of that kind should not happen
and yet 1t never does happen. 1t must be by
some unseen, unknown, mystic influence that
the theater.goers Of a community apportion
themselves to the various nights of the week,
so that the attendance shall be about the
same each night. But that Is an explanation
which does not satisfactorily answer the
question.

Euying Army Blankets.

Here is story told uy Mr.. Mckinley in a
speech upon the floor Of the House. OF
course it is true or he would not have told
it. Some army blankets were needed, and
bids were advertised for by the War De
partment The lowest American bid for Il
four pound blanket for medical purposes
was S2,jG. An English manufacturer bid
S2.25 2-l0, The duty on this kind Of blan-
kets is IS cents per pound and 35 per cent
ad yalorem.
TIE cost Of the 1000 English blankets de
livercd at the custom house in New York
would be S4,50i. The duty at Is cents a
pound would be 81, ,44O, and the 35 per cent
ad yalQrcm would he Sl,576.4O, the entire
dutyheing s3,0lG,4O, making the total cost
10 the American importer S7,520.40.
The lowest American bid was S2.5G, which
for 1000 blankets made the cost S., 100
that Is, ~, 100 less than the foreign blankets
cost, But when the United States imports
anything II does not have to pay duty, and
70 the Secretary accepted the foreign bid
and paid 81 ,504 for 1000 English blankets
-fStSsr -ftSsr the use Of the army, when he could
have bought lhg same number and quality
Of American blankets foT ~, l2O. To save
the pItiful sum Of SGl6 this Democrat" ad-
ministration bought blankets for American
soldiers from an English manufacturer, If
II bad never done any other rcprehensible
act, II deserves 10 be driven from power for
tlat one.

MR BLAREIY HALL has been in Europe some

than column in the sun of yesterday con
ccrning MIR. Blaine's appearance, opinions. ex.
reriences, and manner of life in the French
capital. In the subjOned extract Mr.. Hall
describes two interesting episodes OF u per.
sonal character:
Mr.. Blaine, Mrs Blaine, and his daughter
entered an open carriage for their afternoon
drive. As the Maine statesman passed
through the door of the Hotel Binda a man
and taking of his hat, bowed profoundly.
lie was sickly.lOoking man, with face that
was colorless and haggard. There were deep
circles under the eyes, and general but in.
describably pathetic air of misfortune about
him. II was Henry +. Gillig, the man who
entertained Blaine SO magnihcently In London
before the crash of the American exchange.
Gilligs worst enemies would have .pitied him
If they had seen him as ! saw him to-day.
The blow has evidently struck him very hard.
Mr.. Blaine smiled and bowed, and then the
carriage drove of. The streets were crowded
with vehicles and when the carriage entered
the Champs Elysee the horses We're obliged to
70 at a pace which was little more than a walk
until nearly up to the Arc. Hundreds of
Blaine drove along, for the number of Ameri.
cans In Paris at present Is enormous, and
nearly all of them seem to be going to the Bois
to-day.
Six Of the subjects which interest the world
to-day are Blaine, Boulanger, Balfour, Batten'
kurg, Bulgaria, and Bismarck, Two of the
BIS came together to-day for the first time,
though Mr. Blaine did not know it, Gen. BOu.
langer, in a victoria, was driving from the
chamber of deputies when the carriage
wheeled round and crossed directly in front
of that in which was the Blaine party. The
two men glanced at each other rs the car
riages passed. II was the first time that Mr..
Blaine had seen BOulanger The latter did
not look impressive. His overcoat seemed
rather rusty but his blonde beard and restless
eyes stamp the man.

the truth when he represents two Of this
noble band Of, patriots who sit all
day TO draw inspiration from the
bronze Goddess Of Liberty who perches aloft
wrapped In oblivious slumber II Is no un-
common thing to see one of these sweet cher
ubs gently turn his head back, drop his hat
on the other side of the seat, and go OF into q
sort of all day siesta, as II were. One may
even hear q gentle snore now an | then. We
do not imagine II has ever entered the mind Of
the capitol police that II would be the appro
pirate thing to disturb these gentlemen, who
seem to have more time on their hands than
they seem to know what to do with, and who
do not make an altogether harmonious com
bnation with the paintings and frescoes that
are placed about the rotunda and the dome,
not to to speak of the exalted aspirations that
one Is supposed to have as he wanders about
these consecrated precincts. The capitol
police are kind, sympathetic, indulgent body
who believe in giving everybody a chance. If
a gentleman Of leisure Is mind to rest him
self twelve hours out Of every twenty-four
for twelve years or twenty-four yearsi Is not
certain they would object Some people may
think II strange that one of the freest, most
popular, and bestcquipped loating places on
earth Is right under the dome OF the capitol of
the United states. II has been so for years
past, and there is good reason to believe ii
will be so for years to come There is no other
national capitol building among civilized ma.

that this Is "a free country"

From the contents of dispatch from
Findlay, Ohio on Tuesday the whisky sold
in that town must be a terrible article. The
story told is that portentous looking cloud
hung over the place during the daytime,
and that at II o'clock at night it ''assnmed
the proportions of giant hand, well
formed, and as distinct as if painted upon
the dark background of the sky. The hand
appeared to be a shadowy substance through
which waves of light of blood red color
surged, and then fell of at the ends of the
fingers in drops of the same color. The
first finger Of the hand pointed downward
toward the sleeping city, as if warning the
people of some woe about to befall them.
The spectacle lasted for about an hour,
when it began slowly to fade away, and
finally disappeared altogether" There
