WASHINGTON. May S.-Ben Harrison
wants to be renominated in 1892. He
sees that Sherman is candidate for the
presidency, and it was important to di-
vide Quay and Sherman. Harrison
wants Quay to support him in 1892,
and to be inimical to Sherman. Harri-
son is politician. He. had it in his
hornet, at Sherman. He ignored Quay's
man GilkersOn, and appointed Sher-
mans man Hart solicitor of internal
revenue. That was only two weeks
ago. Quay was swearing mad, and will
never forgive Sherman. He was lit
tie mad at Harrison, but the presi-
dent explained that he (Harrison)
knew nothing of the agreement
which had been made between Quay
and Sherman, and he said: "Senator
Quay. will show you my appreciation
of your services and friendship. will
give your friend GiikerSon better posi-
tion than that you sought. will make
him judge Of the United States court
for the Northern district of Florida.
That is a life position, and a lucrative
one, too" Result Quay placated,

son in 92' See? How about the Florida
Republicans? They are mad, of course,
but Harrison doesn't care. They are
Sherman Republicans, anyway. What he
wanted to do he has done. He has caused
an irreparable breach between Quay and
Sherman; has made Quay, the best
worker in the party, his personal and
grateful friend; and plaeed himself
squarely in the race for '92. The poll
ticians who do not see through this
whole game should awake. The cam
paign is opened, and Benjamin Harri-
son has thrown the first ball.

HUGGING THE HEELERs.

The SpoilSmen are in better humOr
now at the turn affairs are taking at the
White house. MALONE has been en-
tertained as the guest of the president.
and an invitation has been sent to
DUDLEY to call around and take dinner
at his convenience. The heelers and
the ballot box suffers are supposed to
have been sufficiently disciplined for
their late indiscretions in permitting
their game to be discovered, and they
are now to be restored to favor at
court.
Doubtless the administration thinks
it good politics to put itself on amicable
terms with people of the MALONE and
DUDLEY stripe. And possibly it is in
the sense that those people are in pos
session of election secrets that might
prove damaging to the Republican
party if divulged, and men who usually
do the dirty work in politics are not
prescriptions about keeping cam
paign secrets, unless they are we'll paid
for it.
But, if it is the desire of the HARRI-
SON administration to elevate itself in
popular estimation, then it has struck a
lead of bad politics in first making a
pretense of repudiating the MAHoNEs
and the DUDLEYs, and then taking
them to its embrace
However, it is all in keeping with
that hypocritical course the president
has been pursuing since the day of his
Inauguration.

GOLDEN RAIN.

AS graciOusly as the oil descended
upon AARoN's beard, so the clouds
poured down the grateful showers upon
the parched earth yesterday. Every
raindrop that fell was golden in the
sense that it represented just so much
money to the people of the Northwest.
The crisis in this seasons wheat crop
had been reached, and now it has been
passed i'll safety. 1t is no exaggeration
to say that yesterdays rain was worth
millions of dollars to the Northwest, be-
cause it virtually assures good wheat
crop. and it came just in the nick Of
time. Only few more days of hot,
drying winds, such as we have had,
would have settled the business; and
the failure OF wheat crop this season
would have been calamity that this
section is not prepared for.

POLITICAL LEADERSHIP.

One of the most notable political con-
| tests in the history of the country was
| that between DOUGLAS and LINCOLN,
| in Illinois, in 1858. Each stumped the
state, part of the time in joint debate,
as the candidate of his party for the
United States senate, Endorsed by the
state convention of his party. DoUG-
LAS carried the legislature narrowly
and secured the immediate prize, but
it gave LINCOLN the nomination for
president two years later. The point
of present note in connection with this
interesting era is that DOUGLAS
and LINCOLN were the recognized
leaders of their respective parties.
There was hardly ripple of dissent to
this recognition in either party. 1t is
very unusual fora state convention to
designate authoritatively the candidate
for senator to be elected by the legisla-
ture. 1t would only be prudent when
there was almost absolute unanimity of
feeling in the party. Usually it is
embarrassing to have the party seem
to favor any individual before
the election of the legislature. The
leadership of these men was an ac-
cepted fact, and its recognition by the
state conventions left them free from
embarrassment and more effective in
the canvass. There has been no subse-
quent period when either party in that
state has had such clearly defined lead
ership. At the recent meeting of the
Democratic state committee, with lead
ing men of the party from all parts of
the state present, the declaration was
made with much enthusiasm. and no
dissent, that the state convention next
year should nominate Gen. JOHN M.
PALMER for senator; and under his
leadership, with a platform of tariff re-
duction and low taxation, they would
be hopeful of carrying the state. The
remarkable canvass made by the gen
eral last year enthused and inspirited
the party, and the fire burned out all
factions. 1t is united as it has not been
since DOUGLAS. Last year PALMER
cut the majority down to $4,000, and
would have carried the state had it not
been the presidential year. If he con-
sents to the race proposed next year he
will make fight worth looking at.

A TRUTHFUL GIRL.
She Told Lincoln She Was Loyal
to Virginia.


During the war. Miss n, beautiful
and spirited Virginian, whose brother
"a Confederate soldier) had been taken
by the Union forces, was DESTROYS of OBJ
tanning pass which would enable her
to visit him. Francis P. Blair agreed to
secure an audience with the president,
but warned his young and rather i'm
pulsive friend to be prudent, and not
let word eacaDe her which would be-
tray her Southern sympathies. They
were ushered into the presence of MI.
Lincoln, and the object for which they
had come stated.
The tall, grave man bent down to the
petite maiden, and, looking searchingly
into her face, said: "You are loyal, of
course?" Her bright eyes flashed. She
hesitated moment, and then, with a
face eloquent with emotion and honest
as his own. she replied: Eyes. loyal to
the hearts cOre-to virginia." Mr..
Lincoln kept his intent gaze upon her
for moment longer, and then went to
his desk, wrote line or two, and
handed her the paper. With bow the
interview terminated. Once outside
the extreme vexation of Mr.. Blair found
vent in reproachful words. ''Now, you
have done it," he said. "Didn't warn
you to be very careful? You have only
yourself to blame" Miss N. made no
reply, but opened the paper. 1t con-
tanned these words. ''Pass Miss N.
She is an honest girl and can be trusted.
