This leaves Blaine with only s4 votes short of the 4l1 necessary to nominate. That he would necessarily obtain these and more oa the second ballot is too patent to be contradi1ted.
 But the question arises, viii tha dele gates vote their honest sentiments Tn this way, or will these 377 Blaineites, seeking by indrection to find direction out, scatter their votes, placing them hot where they will do the most good, but where thet Nill d6 the least harmy That policy, dangerous as 1t might be, would be fully in accord with the iff- triguing,. sly and devious methods of Blaine himself. He seems to be a poli- tician who can never go straight to the mark. He always wishes to surprise somebody, and will never take even an honest trick, unless he can do 1t in some sensational Way He Is perpetually on the lookout to make the gfarid coup, and so loses many game which would have saved the game. This sort of play is bad both in whist and politics, and gives man the reputation of being very uncomfortable partner.
 If his followets adopt this system, 1t is within the bounds of possibility that unless they are very thoroughly drilled, they may not be able to rally effectively at the imminent moment, and will meet a merted defeat. For this reason, in spite of Mir. Blaine's so-called refusals to have his name presented to the con- vention, it is more than likely that his astute and self-willed friends will per sist in presenting his name; it will go in with.a whoop, and he will be nom mated on the secoiid ballot. But if, as the figures show, a majority of the con vention desire a different candidate as first choice, why would it not be good politics for the rival candidates to join, and by majority vote adopt the Democratic two-third rule? They can do this. They might even better in- struction and adopt q three-fourths rule. That would be an effectual mode of ending Mir. Blaine's chances, is It has often before ended the chances of plurality and majority candidates in Democratic conventions.
 We command this policy to the care full consideration of our Republican brethren. We are interested in the con. yention. We wish to see it do the best thing possible and put up the best man it can find against Cleveland We want no. more mud slinging in American politics. There is an issue vital enough now before the country upon which men can honestly differ and upon which all can vote their honest convic- tions Let us have noble, upright, straightforward candidates and for evet drown In the waters of Lethe the ignoble and scandalous memories of 1884

The May Overland Monthly opens
with an appreciative and amusing arti-
Gle on Western Caricature. in which the
writer discusses the various phases OF
life that have seemed most fitting to the
humorist in black and white. The au-
thor enforces his statements with speci-
mems OF large number OF reproductions
of humorous drawings.
There is scholarly study of the
growth of the Swiss Constitution most

slty Of California
Mr.. f. J. Wickson contributes val
liable paper on California Mission Fruits
showing that California horticulture
reached a high pitch under the padres.
and then was allowed 50 fall into utter
neglect after their dispersion.
Irving NJ. Scott, the leading iron man
ufacturer of the Pacific Coast, writes an
article on the Surplus. in which he pre-
sents the views of the protectiomst and
the practical business men.
In the line of light sketches, which is
one of the Overland's strongholds, there
are two: d. S. Richardson's "Adrift in
the Swamps of Chalco," picturesque
episode OF Mexican travel, told in a
charming literary style, and Caught in
4 Sierra SnOw-Sform," a vivid story of
deadly peril IN the high SIerras.
The stories are strong and readable
ak. G.. c." the story of Alcatraz in
war times, is brought To tragic conclU-
sion, and a new three-month story, q
close study of working girls in San Fran
cisco, is begun. ''Portia" is a pretty,
short story, and '"The Prospector's Sto-
ry," will recall to many an old prospec-
tor his own wild vicissitudes Of hope
and despair.
Reviews, poems, and editorials are all
up TO grade of similar work in any mag
azIne; and altogether the Overland is
vigorous, able-bodied, representative
publication that does credit to the Pa
cItic Coast.

DR.. Daily left last Monday afternoon
to attend the Territorial Democratic
Convention to be held at Phoenix on the
9TH inst. Apache, the banner Demo
cratic county, should have some honors
bestowed on her. She is the only coun-
ty in the Territory that stood by her
colors in the Head-Bean election-roll-
ing up her usual majority-hence we
claim that she is the only reliable Dem
ocratic county in Arizona. She never
strikes her colors.

Newspapers in 1883.

From the edition of Geo. P Rowell &
Co.'S American Newspaper Directory, "
published April I'd Gts twentieth year,,
it appears that the Newspapers and Pc
riodicals of ali kinds issued in the Uni
ted States and Canada, now number
$3.50, showing gain of 500 during the
last twelve months and OF 7,136 in 10
years.
The publishers OF the Directory assert
that the impression that when the pro-
prietor CT 4 newspaper undertakes to
state what has been his exact cIrcula
ton, he does not generally tell the truth
is an erroneous one; and they conspic-
uousiy offer 4 reward OF 500 for every

That HIGHWAY of Nations.

The broad Atlantic, is over a stormy
thoroughfare. Yet blow The winds ever
so fiercely, and ride the waves ever SO
loftily, seamen must man the good ships,
tourists will brave the passage. and COM
mercial travellers and buyers must visit
the centres of foreign trade and manu-

sickness, together with colicky pains
and much inward uneasiness is often en-
dured when Hostetter's Stomach Bitters

VIM. Jackson, range foreman OF the
Wabash Cattle Company, brought a
Mexican into town last Monday and
lodged him in Jail. The Mexican was
found riding horse belonging to the
Wabash Company. When questioned
about the animal he claimed that Il Nav
ajo Indian had loaned the horse to him.
The same old gauzy story-an animal
either runs up against hot branding
iron, when there is no one around, or
it is purchazed from some one who is a
fugitive from justice, or they procured
it from a dead Indian. These stories
have abost had their run-it is time

stories, equally as plausible, and more

We learn that one OF the many enter
prising and daredevil rustlers of this
section, who will take the chances OF
capture and Yuma every day in the
week rather than " ork, had hard fight
and close call with two OF the Aztec Cat
tie Company's boys, few days since,
near st. Joseph, on the line of the At
lantic and Pacific Railroad. 1t appears
that he had taken quite fancy to two
horses belonging to the Company, and
started for parts unknown Eith them.
The horses were missed, the trail struck,
and not chase given. The pursuing par
ty came in sight Of the ardent admirer
of good horseflesh at the crossing OF the
Little Colorado near st. Joseph. The
horse fancier finding that he was pur-
sued, came to the determination to make
his fight right there, which he did, open
ing fire OH his pursuers as soon as they
came within range. Some forty or fifty
shots were exchanged, when night came
an, and under the cover of darkness the
rustler made good his escape.
