ship. although disclailnlng any right
TO speak for him. appear to be OF the
opinion that there Is foundation for
the story which comes from Ohio say
ing that In the event of Senator Sher-
mans withdrawal. Mr.. Foster will be-
come a candidate for the Senate. Sec
rotary Foster. said one gentleman,
has, I know, long had a desire to rep
resent Obi" In the United States Sen

field might be elected without opposi-

contest his ambition might have been
gratihed. and his relations with Sena-

under no circumstances antagonize
that gentleman's return TO the Senate,
but IL Senator Sherman shall conclude
to withdraw his maine l have no donbt
that Secretary Fosters name will be
presented TO the legislature. Under
stand me, do not mean that Mr.. Fos-
ter would enter into a scramble for
this or any other Office. and l know
that he has nothing but the kindest
feelings toward Gov. Foraker, who
would probably be his rival before the
republican caucus, but. think, he
feels that his services to the State and
to the republican party have been suf-
ticient to justify him in asking the sup
port of the party for any honor at its
disposal.

| Having made most dismal failure
of their attempt to kill off Mr.. Blaine
by some Que of the thousand and one
diseases that they were certain that he
had. the sensational newspaper liars
are now trying their hand upon das-

the warm personal and political frienu
ship existing between the President
and Sserstary Blaine. by .,naisios itap
pear that some of the Presidents
friends, newspaper men, have been
sending lying dispatches about the con
dition of Mr.. Blaine. This last scheme
had just enough plausibility in its orr

believing it true. A Washington spe

"A man whose relations wu.- vary o,ose
to private secretary Halford, stating
that Mr.. Blaine's resignation on ac
count of i'll health. had been sent to
the President. The conclusion was
Jumped at that the special must be
true because of It's source, and for a
time the most was made of It; but
when an investigation was made il
was learned that, the Special in ques
ton was not sent by the man who hnd
been charged with sending it, but by 9
substitute who was doing his work
while he was out of town, and that i,
had no better basis than common
street rumor, No true friend of the
President would knowingly malign Mr..
Blaine, but, of course, every public
man has some fool friends"

temporarily in Washington we do not
lose our interest or our enthusiasm In
the politics of our State. And Just
because many of us happen to be in
the Government service, is no reason
