BLAINE THE DEAL
The Plot tl Make Grandson Harrison His Own
Sgcccssr-The Pant tie Premier
VIII Play

WA>HlNGToN. April pa special to
the New York World says: The recent
announcement by Treasurer Huston
that President Harrison would try for
denomination added nothing to the
force Of statement to the same effect
which appeared in these dispatches
months ago. MIR. Huston. for all he
comes from the Presidents own State
and was small factor in Gen. liarri-
sons success i'm the last race, possesses
no exceptional sources of inside in
formation ON the subject He was
ucrcly Voicing iu that announcement
information which is the common prop
crty now of Federal ofliccholdcrS every
where. aud which has been given to
them for the purpose of arouSing their
activities i'm the interest of extending
the Presidents lease of power.
The movement is distinctly one OF the
office holders i'm behalf of the temporary
chief of the elan. The President is de
sirouS of second term. and his bcue-
hciaricS m the distribution OF the
patronage think that the path can be
cleared by organization So rs 10 bring
him again 90 the White House. The sole
reliance is on the power of the machine
and the experience of the men who are
operating it. These men. trained poll
ticianS as they are, donot deceive them
selves as To the situation. They know
that the President is extremely unpop-
ular: that the pledges made to the pco-
pie i'm his name in the last campaign
have not been redeemed; that the popu-
lar drift is now away from the party,
and that only the most extraordinary
means will suffice TO turn the tide.
Thir hope, however, is ia the power of
sp0ils to work workers
BLAINE IN THE ~CHENE.
These calculations are greatly
strengthened 10y the friendly attitude of
MIR. Blaine towards the President In
fact. MIR. Blaine may Doc said to bee al the
head of the movement. The two men
are working together as well a. they
can. Mr. Blaine. indeed. has nothing
to complain of, unless it be- that matters
outside of his department are in large
measure colorless and in>ipid. lie runs
things u his own department 10
suit himself, makes all the treaties, puts
hi> most eminent friends in office, and
altogether has such "a swing as nO man
before in the place ever had. Mr..
Blaine. therefore. may Dee put down.
upon the highest authority, rs llarrl-
son man for ls9e. His ambition now
rms iu the line Of diplomacy. and with
Harrison In the White House he may
hope 10 accomplish everything in that
direction that opportunity gives occa-
sion for. There is no other man M the
party over whom hc could hope To eN-
crcise more complete control. and So IL
would i'm every way answer his purpose
To- have Harrison secure second term.
A matter of greater interest than
Gen. Harrison'> candidacy for a second
term is the plan by which hc proposes
to secure il. That plan shows celcula-
fiou. acknowledges failure ia more than
one direction In the Presidents course
up to the present time. and explains the
industry of the party ia reaching out
for the control of the new States. The
South from now ON is To be- ignored. cX-
cent I'm 50 far as the local places within
her borders are concerned, and New York
is not 10 bc'cultivatcd a. State absolute
ly necessary to Republican success. The
partv's fortunes are to be protected in
the old old States reliably Republican
and advanced as far as possible in the
new States brought into the Union
through Republican agencies. The piv-
otal states i'm the next contest there
fore. according to the Harrison pro-
grammc. will bc Indiana. New jersey
and Connecticut. leaving New York
and the solid South entirely ont oil the
question.
