BLAINE CANNOT WIN.
(From Baltimore Sun.)

Mr.. BLAINE's "INDoRsEMENT,"- "A
| Washington dispatch to the Phila-
delphia Ledger says: 81 have just
heard the history of the letter
which was written by James G..
Blaine to Col. Fred. Grant last fall.
congratulating him upon his nomi-
nation for the Office of Secretary of
State of New York, and expressing
the hope that he would receive the
earnest and active support of all
republicans. When Col. Grant
was nominated it was thought that
an Endorsement from Mr.. Blaine
would be effective in the campaign,
and a cablegran was sent at Paris
suggesting that he could help the
ticket by writing one. The repub-
lican State committee waited few
days without receiving an answer
to their cablegram, when they wrote
Mr.. Blaine a letter setting forth the
situation, and urging him to come
out strongly in favor of Grant, both
on his own account and the New
York State ticket. He was told
that there was a great deal of
feeling against him among the old
New York stalwarts, which might
be modified, if not entirely healed,
by such action on his part, and the
election would be so close that ev-
cry particle of influence that could
be exerted was needed. He was
requested to answer this letter by
cable. After waiting until he
should have time to reply, and re.
ceiving no sign from him, the com
mittee sent a second cablegram.
written in the imperative mood,
telling Mr.. Blaine he was expected
to do what his friends expected of
him, and that something serious
might result if Col. Grant did not
receive his Endorsement as request
ed. Then came the tardy letter.
which was not satisfactory to the
committee because of it's weak and
Indifferent language. 1t was better
than nothing, however, and it was
decided to publish the document.
The letter that appeared in the
paper, however, was not exectly as
Mr.. Blaine wrote, for the Hon.
Thomas @. Platt took the liberty
OF making some alterations in the
text that we're thought to be neces-
sary to produce the effect desired.n

"Dressmakers" Must Go.

A report is current to the effect that the
police will soon be called upon to make a
crusade upon a certain element of the female
persuasion who. under the garb Of ''dress-
maker" persist in living a life of shame.
There are several places of this descrip ton
that have attracted the attention of the pub
lie, and the authorities intend to swoop down
upon them and bring them to Justice. It is
claimed that one on an extensive scale has
been conducted in a block ON South Thir.
teenth street near Howard. by u woman who
basks under the curtain of deception, in the
form of a ~dressmaker, but who conducts a
business tinged with immortality and shame.

THE PRIZE RING GUIDE.
h Marquis of Queensberry Dilates
on Pugilistic Matters.

Omaha had a prominent representative OF
the sporting fraternity in its midst yester-
day. The Marquis of Queensberry, founder
of the ring rules that have given him a
worldwide reputation, and under which
many q colossal specimen of humanity of
the male pers uasien has both won laurels
and met defeat. The Marquis is on his re-
turn home from San Francisco. While at
the Pacific coast he witnessed the Conley-
McAullffe contest, but he had but slight
compliments to pay Conley, when speaking
Of him as IA pugilist. The distinguished
guest was met in q carriage at the Union
Pacific depot by Ed. Rothery, of this city,
and from thence he was conveyed to the lat
ter's headquarters on Eleventh and Harvey
streets. While there he amused himself in
glancing over innumerable accounts of ring
encounters, and when his eye rested upon
fight he muttered, II want to say something
to you~ Mr.. Rothery. If ever a man
has been dealt u~njustly with by the newspa
pers, it is John l.. Sullivan. He has ex-
tremely unpleasant ways when he is intoxi-
Gated, but in a prize fighter we must set that
aside. Now, as to his go with Mitchell, it
was all one-sided. The big fellow got tired
Of knocking Mitchell down and chasing him
when he would arise. 1t was an insult to the
championship of the prize ring. Mitchell is
as a prize fighter"
A reporter for THE BEE who happened
along about this time ventured the query,
"How about Jake Kilrain!"
He is no good on earth. He can not fight.
He is shoulder bound and is short in his
reach; besides, he has not got the staying
qualities"
"Whom do you consider the coming cham
pion in case Sullivan abandons the ringl"
"That is a hard question to answer. I
have considered it to some length,
but l really can give no direct reply
that would do myself justice. / am inclined
to think that Pat Killen will be the next
champion, and will do all l can to advance
his claims"
at Is rumored that you are endeavoring to
arrange a match between Killen and Kill
RAIN"
mo, not just at present, but if Kilrain will
fight killen QuecnsDerry rules he wont have
long to wait for a purse, and in such an
event my money goes to back Killen as the
winner"
After luncheon was served Mr.. Rothery
escorted his distinguished guest to the depot,
accompanying him to Council Bluffs, where
he took passage for New York City.
