Blaine in Spite of Everything.

CHICAGO, June 14.-The most re-
markable feature of the situation yes
terday, was throughout the evening,
the strong undercurrent for Blaine, no
matter that he had written two letters,
declining to be candidate under any
circumstances, and no matter even if
Chairman Jones had that epistle in
his pocket making the point again in
direct address, to the convention.
There were many around political
headquarters, men from all points of
the country, who still expected that
Blaine was the coming man. They
he said that no man had
of his country, if it came to him with
urgency, and unanimity, and conclu-
ded that Blaine would not be the first
to violate his own principles. None of
the delegates or men of prominence
would commit themselves publicly on
on the subject, but the talk continued
nevertheless.
Gen. Alger will be nominated by
Col. Robert Il. Frazer, of Detroit, a
lawyer, and old campaigner. Gen.
Harrison will be named by ex-Gov.
Albert Porter, Indiana, whom Indian
ians think is dark horse candidate.
Sherman's name will be presented by
General Hastings, attorney general of
Pennsylvania. Judge Gresham will
be presented probably by Leonard
Sweet, who presented Abraham Lin
coins name in behalf of Illinois, just
2S years ago. In the constantly
increasing groups in the hotel Hobbies,
two of the most observed new corners
today, were Murat Halstead of Gin
cinnati, and Chauncey J. Filley of ST..
Louis. Halstead has spoken for Sher-
man, Filley was non-committal. NJ.
w. Quincy, colored, national commit
teeman from Texas attracted attention.
The committee will be called to order
tomorrow and their chief business will
be the selection of temporary officers
for the convention, but it is not likely
anything will be done in this matter
before Saturday.

Another Blaine Manuscript.

CHICAGO, June l4.-By long odds,
the general event among the crowds
of politicians today, was the arrival OF
the noted recipient of Blaine's letter
from Florence, Chairman B. F. Jones,
of the national committee. RumOrs
were thick that the big chair
man was the bearer of anOth-
er epistle from the man over
the water. This letters reports,
had it been given would prove a
greater surprise, and was destined to
become even more celebrated than the
famous manuscript with the Florence
date. The reasons given were that
the new missive told secrets
so many people have tried in
vain to guess who, himself barred,
Mr.. Blaine preferred as republican
presidential nominee. Right in the
exact spot where the candidate is to
be named, on the floor of the conven-
ton hall, was the place where Mr.
Jones was found by an associated
press reporter, and consented to be
interviewed. Mr.. Jones' bluff counte
nance showed heightened color, and
his eyes frightened Immediately at
the mention of another letter from
Blaine. The rumors in circulation
were told the chairman in detail
Then the question was promptly put:
"Mr. Jones have you such letter?''
The answer was fiat and to the point:
"No, sir, candidly 1 have not. Nc
communication of political kind has
been received by me from Mr.. Blaine
since the letter dated from Florence
was received" "Then you have re-
ceived another letter from him, have
your" mot on politics.
The reporter asked: Gust one
more question, Mr.. Jones. These
rumors have it, that Mr.. Blaine would
not accept the nomination though ii
were rendered to him unanimously,
and has so stated to you. Has he ever
given any such intimation ?" "Most
interview. It had made two points
measurably clear, that the new letter
from Mr.. Blaine was not forthcoming
and that in the contingency of the
convention rendering him the nominal
ton, delegates would have to look be-
yond Chairman Jones to learn the re-
suit.

The Beiknap Hon,

The Belknap Rifles gave pleasant
hop in the Springs pavilion last night
in honor of their lady friends and
very large crowd was attracted. OF
course, Col. Belknap was among his
"boys," the officers at the post were
largely represented and the ladies
were there in large numbers. Every
thing passed off pleasantly and all
seemed delighted with the pleasures
of the hop.

The Value of Trees

If the blizzardy winter now ended
leads settlers to put out trees for
groves aud along highways, each to
the extent of his time and means, it
will prove a blessing i'll disguise.
Five years will grow a sheltering
grove, if proper care is taken, and
while five years seems a long time to
wait for a crop, the years pass rapid
ly and the trees are soon grown to
handsome proportions. The olde,
portions OF Iowa have as many trees
as are left in many parts Of agricul.
tural states once heavily timbered,
like Ohio. The same is true of Kan
sas and Nebraska. Trees grow with
incredible rapidity IN prairie soil,
when once started, and there is every
inducement for planting them, as they
will soon furnish shelter and fuel, two
things especially needed in a prairie
