Blaine Prefers the Senatorship Sher-
man, Miller and Platt.
WASHINGTON, November 22d.-The busi-
ness of Cabinet-making proceeds at the
same merry gait here as on the day which
followed the positive news of Harrison s
election. There sre a few kernels of corn
among the husks that are being scattered
in every direction to befog and color the
real facts of the case. During the cam
paign it was positively asserted that in the
event of Harrison's election James G..
Blaine would be Secretary of State. In
formation from authentic sources received
by your correspondent indicates now that
Mr.. Blaine will not be member of Presi-
dent Harrisop's Cabinet
During Mr.. Blaines trip in the West in
October he informed several of his personal
friends in Ohio that he could not be men,
Der of General Harrison's Cabinet. should
the Indianian defeat Cleveland. His princi
pal reason for making this statement was
that, having been the defeated candidate of
the Republican party in 1884, it would be
unseemly ON his part to accept a place in
the Cabinet of the victorious nominee in
1888. He also spoke of being physically
unable 10 assume the duties Of managing
the foreign relations of the Government.
Among Blaine's misfortunes in public
uIe mas Deen the unwlil1ngness of his
friends and admirers to concede that his
ambition is without bounds. Mr.. Blaine
has one ambition, and that is to return to
public life as a United States Senator, and
the promotion of Senator FRYE to Cabinet
position, which would open The door to the
election of Blaine as Senator from Maine.
Senator John Sherman, of Ohio, seems
now the most likely TO be made Secretary
of State. he mas achieved all the distinc-
ton possible for him to gain in the Senate.
Should he fill his present position for an
other quarter of a century be could not
gain higher political honors than he now
enjoys. His term as Senator will expire in
1888. when Harrison will quit the White
House, unless he is reelected As Secre-
tary of the Treasury under Hayes. Sher-

be fined $500. Several minor details were
settled, and after fixing the spring meeting
to be held in Washington, and the next

ton adjourned.

rules are: Relative to substitutes, the rule
requires that lone player, whose name
shall be printed on the score. card as an
extra player. may be substituted at the end
of any completed inning by either club. but
the player retired shall not hereafter par

the base runner.
In defining the powers of the umpire to
impose fines of not less than s5 nor more
than S25. for abusive. threatening or inn

substitution of another player then in uni
form"
An additional base-hit is provided when
the batted ball hits the person or clothing of

AGAINST FRAUD.
The Republicans to Contest the Electoral
Vote of Virginia,

Inc hepuDhcans TO Contest the Electoral
Vote of Virginia.
WASHINGTON, November 22d.-As a re-
suit of the conference between General
Malone and Senator Quay, recently neld
in this city, it is announced that proceed
ings will be begun in the Virginia State
Courts and the United States District Court
OF Virginia, attacking the right of the Dem
ocratic Electors of that State to cast their
votes for President in the Electoral College.
Certificates of election will not be issued
until after the meeting of the State Board
of Canvassers in Richmond next Monday.
and the contemplated proceedings will be
then Immediately instituted.
THE BASIS OF THE CONTEST.
WASHINGTON, November 22d.-As basis
for the report already telegraphed, of a
contest over the Electoral vote of Virginia.
1t is said that when Senator Quay was con-
vinced, through statements of General Ma
hone, that the Republicans had carried the
State on an honest count OF the ballots. he
cautiously sent Colonel Parsons, of Natural
Bridge, Va, to make personal inspection
OF the charges and report to the headquar-
tiers in New York. On receiving Parsons
report, confirmatory of Mahone's state
ments, Quay came this CITY, Here he was
met by Malone, and conference ensued.
with Generals Butler and Henderson as
legal advisers.
1t was feared by Quay at this time that
the Democrats would attempt to organize
the House through the unlawful issuance
of certificates of election to defeated Demo-
cratic candidates in Virginia and other
Southern States. At this first meeting the
pressing question was, therefore, how to
restrain, by Federal or State authority, the
Canvassing Boards from the action appre-
hended by the Republicans. 1t was finally
doubted, however, whether any restraining
order of the Courts would sufficiently re-
Strain any ostensible majority of certified
members from organizing under the pre-
vailing rules of that body. The Republi-
can majority began to loom up also. and
finally the Congressional part of the con-
templated proceedings was given up, and
in its stead an arraignment of the Presi-
Dental Electors agreed upon.
Quay, in one of his earliest dispatches
from New York, used words to Malone
about as follows: " Give us your exact sit
uation in Virginia. We don't need your
vote, but want the facts of your election
They do not ignore, however, the impor-
tance to the Republican party of develop
ing and proving election frauds at the South,
and if they failed in their present efforts
looking to the Courts, will arouse Congress,
they say, to the necessity of enacting suita-
BILE laws for the protection of the ballot.
