WASHINGTON, June 1s.-The Republi-
cans are at sea regarding their pomina-
tion at Chicago, and are hopelessly di-
vid ed. Unless they pull their forces
together and unite on candidate, they
will make mistske that will cost them
dearly. The only thing that is generally
agreed to is that Sherman and Gresham
will be far in the lead Of all other c.ndi-
dates on the first ballot, and that neither
will have enough to nominate on that
ballot. The most conservative opinion is
that the convention will make haste
slowly, that they
WILL ACT WITH DELIRERATIoE
and come to conclusion af.er a most
complete canvass of the situation in all
It's phases. Tae prospects point t.
long and very stubborn meeting. OF
course s matter of great interest 10 the
candidates is the attitude to be assumed
by the New YORK delegates and those who
can speak for that state are shrewdly
talkir of this and then Of that candidate
without settling on any. Mr.. Hiscock is
undoubtedly hopeful Of his own future
and is working up his little boom IS well
New Yo talk has taken another direc
ton and it is loudly whispered that the
Blaine men of the Empire state will go %
Chicago. That this ls an earnest and
serious move
IS MUCH DOUBTED
bY some OF the best informed Republicans.
II Is looked upon as one Of those things
designed to hide the true intention l. is
the general impression that among the
delegates who cling to Harrison will be
found the most stslWsrt Blaine men. II
the Blaine idea prevails then Blaine him
self may DE nominated afer deadlock
with Harrison for Vice-President. Har.
rison may be nominated with Phelps or
Morton on the ticket. Another Blaine
combination puts Phelps 81 the hesd Of
the ticket. Mr.. Phelps some OF his
warmest friends sre hopeful Of this plan,
and argue that it would insure

An Agitation Looking to Entire Repeal of
the Interal Taxes.
special TO the Indianapolis journal
WAsHrNGToN. March 15.-There is very seri-
Gus talk in the House about abolishing the in
ternal revenue system and releg ating it to the
States. Several men who are foremost IN the
enterprises which enlarge the scope of indus
tries of the country are advocating this policy,
and say that the federal government. except in
times OF war, has no business levying an inter
nal tax OF any kind. They hold, further, that
many of the States are in debt, and need the
revenues which they might derive from tax
on whisky and other articles, while the federal
government does not need it at all. Some of
Mr. Randalrs followers on the Democratic side,
and number OF the leading Republicans ara
taking this view of the question, and it has been
suggested that this whole tariff squabble may
be solved by the abolition OF the internal reve-
nue. system. This would, of course, do away
with all internal revenue officers under the gov
ernnaeGt and establish a new system by the
States. Some of the States do not believe IN
any restrictions whatever being placed upon
the tobacco and whisky traffic, far as it re-
lates to manufacturing. and these would not, if
the general government abolished the system,
take any action; but the great bulk of the
States. it is believed would establish similar
taxes and regulations to those now main tanned
by the federal government.

Harrison's Friends in Illinois.


WASHINGTON, March 15. - Representative
Cannon, of Illinois, in discussing presidential
probabilities this afternoon, said that he believed
the West would nominate the head of the
ticket. and that among the strongest men in his
State was ex-senator Harrison, of Indiana. He
said that Harrison would make one of the most
thoroughly successful and manful campaigns
and of the cleauest Presidents the country
has ever had. He believed Illinois will give him
support in the convention. Mr. Cannon repre-
sents the Danvile district, and is the oldest Re-
publican member from the State, well as one
of the brainiest and most influential
This evenings Critic, in two columns of inter-
views with various prominent Republican mem
bers and Senators. concludes from the general
expression that Harrison is as likely to be nom
mated as any man mentioned since the with
drawal or Blaine. Mr.. Burrows, of Michigan,
regards Blaine clear outside the range of presi-
DENTAL possibilities. and Harrison as one of
the most likely before the country.
An Illinois Republican of national reputation.
who does not desire his name used says that
his State will, beyond any question of reason
able doubt, cast some votes in the conventior1
from the first for Harrison, and that there is
disposition on the part of the party in Illinois to
support Gresham; that if the Republicans of
Illinois indorse anybody with imanimity he will
he Senator Cullom. and that if Gresham should
be nominated he would have to Immediately
sign his position the bench, to which he pre-
diets Representative Holman, of Indiana, would
be nominated by the President, as the party
wants Holman out of the House.
