4 POLITICAL MYSTERY.
Has Blaine Written Final DecIinRtion
OF the Nomination?


Copyright, 1888. by the California 1fssociatca Press
New YORK, May 29th.-" Who has the
letter. was the inquiry in political circles
| after 1t became noised about that Blaine
had addressed second open letter to one
OF his friends In this city. No one could
give any definite information on the SUBJ
Ject. Chairman Jones, of the National Re-
publican Committee, to whom the first let
ter was addressed, telegraphs that he knows
OF no further communication on the SUBJ
Ject. Congressman William Walter Phelps
also denied that he had received such let
ter.
Only one of the friends to whom Blaine
would probably address an open letter has
not explicitly denied that it was addressed
to him. That is Whitelaw Reid, who went
TO Cincinnati on Saturday. he started fol
this city this morning. He had not heard
from Blaine when he left for the West. but
several ocean steamers have reached here
during his absence. There is possibility
that the mysterious document awaits him
at his Office. If not, these runners are un-
questlonably false for Baine's friends have
Valnly hunted for 1t in every other quarter.
WHAT is SAID IN WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON, May 29th-There is a ru-
NOR tonight OF a letter in the hands of
William Walter Phelps from Blaine, de-
Ginning positively the nomination for the
Presidency. The rumor has been circu-
lated freely, and in the effort TO trace it,
your correspondents found a gentleman who
said he knew Mr.. Phelps possessed such a
letter, which would be used at the proper
time. The gentleman interviewed has en-
Joyed close relations of friendship with Mr..
Phelps for some years.
The latter gentleman refused to be inter
viewed, even when the errand was stated,
and 1t is assumed from this that such
letter does exist. Republican politicians
generally, however, scout the idea as
absurd. They argue that if Blaine had
any such letter to write he would with
hold it until late and forward it to the
Chairman of the Chicago Convention.
THE LATEST GUESS.
Copyright. 1885, By the California Associated PressI
New YORK, May 29th.-It is rumored to-
night that the letter from Blaine positively
refusing to be candidate which William
Walter Phelps is said TO have is in the pos
session of the World and Tribune, and will
appear few days in advance of the Chi
cago Convention.

why the Vermont Senator Does Not Dis
cuss the Fisheries Treaty.
WAsHINGToN, May 29th.-It was expected
that Senator Edmunds, wholly resolution
OF the Committee on Foreign Affairs-re-
ported the fisheries treaty, would have it in
charge during the debate; and the fact that
the ieadership.has been practically taken by
senator sherman, and that the voice of the
Senator from Vermont was not heard upon
the subject, with which be is so familiar,
IN the eolloquies which closed this after
Moons debate, caused some surprise.
The explanation is understood to be that
Senator Edmunds believes it improper and
unwise Ito use no stronger term) for the
Senate, when in the act of advising the
President, and especially upon a matter of
diplomacy. to do SO in the presence of the
public and other party to the case. Though
asserting reluctantly to the will of the ma
Jtority, and voting with his party for open
doors, he is understood to prefer TO take no
public part in the proceedings, which he
holds to be so irregular

a MISNOMER.
he Mills Bill, as a Tariff Reducer, Not q
Success


Copyright, 1883, by the California Associated Press
WASHINGTON, May 29ih.-The Demo-
cratic caucus last night served to expose
what tiimsy pretense of revenue reform the
Mills bill really is. The amendments that
were offered and accepted practically emas-
cuiated the bill, as it was reported from the
Ways and Means Committee, with the ex-
ception of wool. What will be done in the
Democratic caucus tomorrow night re-
specting further amendments to the bill
cannot be foretold. Congressman Bliss of
New York, who has been opposed to the
bill, presented sixty amendments to the
bill, and the majority of them have been
accepted by the Ways and Means Commit
tee-evidently for no other purpose than
capturing Bliss vote.
the fact is becoming apparent that Mills
and his associates are willing to sacrifice
everything to get votes enough to pass the
bill, and that with the single exception of
free wool, the bill is misnomer for tariff
reduction. 1t is not improbable that the
Senate will propose more radical meas
ure of revenue reduction than the Mills
bill, SO far as getting rid of the surplus rev.
enue is concerned.

MINNEAPOLIS (Minn.), Nav 29th.-The
officers of the st. Croix and Lacross Dis
trict Land Office Wisconsin, while looking
over old records in the office at st. Croix,

thirty years. The entries of these patents
are in regular form and properly issued
from the Land Office a. Washington, but
while being executed the district was
divided and by error the documents were
sent to the wrong Office and have lain
forgotten in the vaults ever since. They
bear date from 1854, and are signed by
President James Buchanan. In addition
to many sections of farm land, these patents
cover much OF the area Of the city of Eau
Claire. The discovery relieves, a great

possible litigation which hung over them

PARIS, May II, 1885.
Whiteldtp Reid, Esq.-MY DEAR SIR: On nv
return TO Paris from Southern Italy, on the Sth
inst, have learned what did not before be-
Ileve) that my name may yet be presented to the
National Convention as q candidate for the
Presidency by the Republican party single
phrase of my letter of January 25ch, from Flor
ence (Which was decisive of everything | had
the personal power to decide, has been treated
by many of my most valued friends as not abso-
Iutely conclusive in ultimate and possible
contingencies On the other hand, friends
equally devoted and disinterested have
construed my letter-aS il should be con-
strued-to be an unconditional withdrawal
OF my name from the National Conven-
ton. They have, in con sequence, given their
support to eminent gentlemen who are cam
didates for the Chicago nomination, som, of
whom would not, | am sure, have consented to
assume that position if had desire to repre-
sent the psTty IN the Presidential contest of
1855. If should now, by speech or by silence
by commission or omission, permit nv name in
any event to come before the Convention |
should incur the reproach of being uncandid
with those who have always been candid with
me. l speak, therefore, because ! am not will
ing to remain in doubtful attitude am not
willing to be the cause of misleading single
man among the millions who have given me
their sutfrages and their confidence. | am not
willing that even one of my faithful supporters
in the past should think me capable of palter-
ing in a double sense with my words.
Assuming that the Presidential nomination
could, by any possible chance, be offered TO me-
l could not accept it without leaving in the
minds of thousands of these men the i'm
preston that had not been free from indirec-
ton, and therefore, could not accept it at all.
Misrepresentation or malice have no weight
but the just displeasure of friends could not
patiently endure. Republican victory the
prospects of which grow brighter every day
can be imperiled only by lack of unity in cOiln-
ell, or by an acrimonious contest over men.
THE ISSUE OF PROTECTION Is INCALCUIABLY
STRONGER AND GREATER
Than any man, for il concerns the prosperity of
the present and The generations yet to come.
Were ii possible for every voter of the Republic
to see for him elf the condition and recompense
of labor in Europe. the party ofiree trade in the
United States would not receive the support of
one wage-worker between the two oceans.
IL may not be directly in our power. as philan-
thropists, to elevate the European laborer, but
it will be lasting stigma upon our statesman
ship II we permit the American laborer to be
forced down to the European level, and in the
end the rewards of labor everywhere will be
advanced if we steadily refuse to lower the
standard at home. Yours, very sincerely.
