rhe Only John l.. Badly OH HIS base'-
Too Much Booze.
CINCINNATI, April 22.-John l.. Sui
livan flew oil on a tangent yesterday
afternoon at the Gibson House, and the
bar at the hotel did a rushing business
up to within a few minutes OF the time
the big Boston boy was called away to
perform his part in the show at the
Peoples Theater. For some time Sui
livan has been conducting himself very
properly. but yesterday he was thrown
into the company of some old friends,
and he cut loose from all restraint.
He appeared at the Peoples Theater
at last nights performance, but he was
in muddled condition, and made
spectacle of himself. Everything pro-
gressed as smoothly as could be reason
ably expected under the circumstances
until the last act, when the crowd In
the gallery began to guy the champion.
He was Sparring with Joe Lannon
when some one called to the latter and
asked him TO give "Sully" good
punch.
This remark aroused the ire OF the
Boston boy, and advancing to the foot
lights he announced that he was pre-
pared to put on the mitts with any one
in the audience, and would show EN-
how quick John l.. could knock fellow
out. OF course no one accepted the
challenge OF the champion bruiser. As
he continued his sparring match some
one threw a large ripe orange at him,
which tended to make him all the more
furious. This occasioned another speech
from "Sully." He was allowed to have
his little say, and as he rolled of the
stage behind the scenes like drunken
sailor, he was taunted and jeered by
the crowd in the gallery.

How Republicans Opposed to harrison
Are Using Blaine.


Pu1LApELrmA, April 99.-In a
double-leaded editorial upon Blaine and
Harrison the Press this morning says:
1T is practically conceded that there
is but one man who could stand in Mr..
Harrison'S way, and that is Secretary
Blaine. while Mr.. Harrison is pre-
sumably a candidate, Mr. Blaine, Is
presumably, is not.
''Some OF the Influences which are
opposed 10 the denomination OF MIR.
Harrison are arranging TO use the
blaine sentiment of the party TO OBJ
struct the Presidents chances. The
most potent forces are ia the llepUbli-
can National Executive Committee.
Senator Quay and Senator Cameron
have both declared to their friends that
they are now for Blaine, and TO that eX-
tent they have at last adjusted them
selves to the popular feeling in Penn
Sylvania. They are all seeking TO make
Harrison'S nomination impossible, and
it is not too much TO say thore is no
other particular object in the move
ment unless it be to make Blaine i'm
possible too.
The plsh, as so far developed IS to
get Republican State conventions which
will meet this year to declare for Blaine
wherever possible. Whatever the effect
Of this upon the prospects OF Mr. Har-
rison its effect upon Mr.. Blaine must be
most unfortunate. 1t would almost in
evitably put him in a position where ne
would feel obliged to resign his place in
President Harrison'S Cabinet, or II
would force him TO make publican un'
eouivocal declaration that be cannot bi
a candidate"

INDIo, CAL, April 22.-The Presi-
dental party entered the State of Cali
fornia this morning at 4:50 o'clock. His
Excellency was presented with large
quantity of flowers and fruits at FIT.
Yuma. When the party reached lndio
at SIS it was received by a large dele
CATION. including Gov. Markham and
staff. Gov. Markham made an address
of welcome, assuring the President that
they would feel repaid for their visit
when they saw the wonderful State OF
California. And, sir" he continued,
"permit me TO say that though we are
hundreds and thousands of miles from
the National Capital, and separated
from the people of the East and South
by what may seem endless plains and
impossible mountains, yet we are in
close sympathy with them in all ma
tional affairs. He then outlined the va
riouS features of the sections through
which the party was TO pass.
The President in reply said that some
time, when not choked with dust, but
refreshed by their olive oil and vine
yards, he would express his gratitica-
tion at being able TO visit California.
The acquisition Of California was sec
ond only TO that Of Louisiana and the
control of the Mississippi river. 1t Sc
cured to the United States this great
coast and made it impossible for the
ship of a foreign power TO land on any
of the coast line. 1t has helped perfect
our magnificent isolation which is our
great protection against foreign aggreS-
sion If had any complaint to make
of the people of California, it was that
they were too hoSpitable. Several In
dianS including Chief Cabazon, OF the
Indio tribe, who is over 100 years old
presented an address to the President
asking for justice and assistance. The
President and party left here at $50 a.
NJ, for Los Angeles.
Cotton CAL, April 22.-The run
from Indio to Cotton, of the train con-
veyng the Presidential party, was

with picturesque scenery. At Banning
the President was welcomed by all the

children being educated there. They
all bore bouquets of wild flowers and
filled nearly all the cars with them.
The President and Postmaster General
Wanamaker expressed their thanks in
a few felicitouS remarks, and the Presi-
dent afterwards shook hands with all
the children. The Presidential party
was received AS cordial at Beaumont.
The President shook hands with several
