LIEUT.. PEl.RY'S REPORT.
The Good Results Of the March OF the CAV
airy Troop.

The Good Results Of the March OF the Cay
airy Troop.
Lieut.. A. W. Perry OF the ninth cavalry, who
accompanied troop A of the National Guard of
this city and a portion Of troop A Of the New
York Guard on their Late successful march
through Maryland and Virginia, has rendered
his report to the inspector general. An ac-
count is given of the line OF march and in re-
gard to discipline the report says:
''The discipline Of the troop was good, the
men entering into the spirit OF the march in a
soldierly manner, ami while there were many
cases of disregard for superior officers. talking
in ranks, &C., when it had been called to the
attention Of the troops there was grea. fmprovs-
ment. The troopers were anxious to learn mill
tary discipline and etiquette, and a single cor
rection was all that was necessary to obtain the
desired results"
The military instructions given are dwelt
upon and the report concludes: 1.-The drill
OF the troop was very good, considering that
the troop only turns out mounted on occa-
slons OF ceremony and once or twice year
for the purpose of drill. This, of course, ne
cessitates the troopers riding green horses that
are not bridle-w wise. .and instead Of the few drills
being OF benefit to the men they are more of q
drill for the horse wasted. as tine chances are
small that the same horse will ever be in the
troop more than once. In closing this report
would respectfully recommend thatif the march
is to be made again 1t be made later in the fall.
as in July the crops have not been taken in and
maneuvers aie confined to the narrow country
roads or to country that cannot be ridden
over. There is one point that ought to be i'm
pressed on troopers. aud that is the care of
government property. l noticed great deal
of carelessness in this respect among the
troopers. cannot close this report without
mentioning Capt. Neumeyer of the subsistence

NOT A CANDIDATE.
Under What Circumstances Mr. Harrison
Will Decline to Allow His Name Used.

Under What Circumstances Mr.. Harrison
Will Decline to Allow HE Name Used.
1t is getting to be commonly agreed among
the leading republican politicians VINO are most
active in the party organization that Mr.. Har-
rison will not be q candidate for denomination
when the national convention meets.
1t has become evident to him, us it has to
the whole country. that if Mr.. Blaine will ac-
cept the nomination it will be useless for any
other candidate to enter the field.
1t is stated that Mr.. Harrison will endeavor
to learn from Mr.. Blaine himself not if he 10
candidate for the nomination. for the Presi-
dent is said to be satisfied on that point
already that he is not but whether he will ac-
cept the nomination. If he learns that Mr.
Blaine will not decline the nomination Mr.
harrison, 1t Is said. Will not permit his name to
go before the convention.
There appears to be such a general under
standing on this point among men who are
usually well informed and are generally con-
suited in such matters that there is little reason
to doubt that it is based on positive informa-
ton.
1t is said that Mr.. Blaine is now in as good
health as any man of his age can reasonably
expect to enjoy. and that there is no more rea-
son to doubt his strength to endure the fatigue
or a campaign than there is to doubt the
strength Of Mr.. Harrison.
AND STATE DEPARTMENT.
With relation to Mr.. Blaine's resuming his
duties at the State Department it is said that
it will depend upon the feeling of Mr.. Harri-
son. If Mr.. Harrison feels that the fact Of Mr.
Blaine s being Secretary of State would obigate
him to decline the nomination. then it is said
that Mr.. Blaine will retire from the cabinet
If, however, Mr.. Harrison wants him to re-
main at the head Of the State Department, re-
gardless of any political contingencies of the
future, Mr.. Blaine will probably return TO the
department
There appears to be some uncertainty on
this point. Some who are close to both Mr.
Blaine and the President say that he will prob
ably not return to the department. while others
equally as close think he will, all agreeing,
however, that he will be the nominee
Senator Washburne said today that Mr. Blaine
would be nominated by acclamation; that there
would be no other candidate before the con-
Ventlon. Harrison, he said, had given a splendid
administration. but that the popularity of Mr..
Blaine was such that no candidate would have
any chance against him.
SECRETARY FOSTERS TRIP.
Secretary Foster Is going to New York on
Wednesday and is then going to spend about
two weeks on fishing trip up east somewhere
in yacht 1t is reported that he will meet the
President and will afterward visit Bar Harbor
Just as a rumor, probably mere speculation,
1t is whispered that he is going as a friend OF
Mr.. Harrisons to try to have a talk with Mr.
Blaine on the whole subject Of the next repub-
hcan nomination for the presidency

Ors for Every County in the Union.
Postmaster General Wanamaker has issued
letter to the postmaster of every county
seat in the United States in which he requests
that postmaster to become, SO to speak, an in
spector Of all the post offices in that county
and to report to him the condition Of all the
Offices. He holds out an inducement that at
the end of the fiscal year he will report to the
President those offices which will reach the
highest mark for honorable mention by the
President of the United States.
In the letter which he issued yesterday to the
postmaster at each county seat he says: .'Of
course it will be best if you can make these
visits personally, but If not your assistant can
