ELKiNS FOR pKOCTOE.S pt,C,.
The West Virginia Statesman Among the
Probabilities


Probabilities.
WAsIiINGToN, Sept. a. Special Tho
talk in administration circles abou, the
appointment of Mr.. Stephen b. Elkins
to be Secretary Of War is not n Joke. 1t
is serious. The President is fond OF
MIR. Elkins, and it is we'll known that
the latter was active in bringing about
Mr. llarrison's nomination ut Chicago.
1t is said that it was largely through the
efforts of Mr.. Elkins that New York
State was brought into line for narri-
son on that Monday morning which de-
cided the contest. And then the close
intimacy OF the President and OK Sen
ator Davis, Mr.. Elkins' father-in-iaw, is
well known.
The New Mexico New York West
Virginia sta tesman has always been a
fighting friend of blaine, and this is
being urged by his friends as n reason
why it would be good politics for the
President to make him member of
the Cabinet. They say that Elkins to
greater extent than any other man
can influence Blaine: that he would no
more potent than any one else in con-
vincing the man from Maine that he
should not bc IA candidate ar.in.t the
present chief.
In fact, il i said by those who pre-
tend to know that Elkins is engineering
the present Blaine hurrah in the inter
est of Harrison. There are knowing
ones who say that the Blaine noise is
for purpose we'll understood by the
President and his Secretary of State.
The apparent unanimity for Blaine pre-
vents the candidature of any other Re
publican against Harrison; but it is
predicted that at the proper time, and
when it will DC the most good Mr..
Blaine will absolutely refuse to allow
his name to be used: and then give his
influence in favor or lIarrison's rcnomi-
nation.
or course, there are men shouting for
and working for Blaine who believe he
wants the nomination. These are actu-
ated by different motives. Some are
original Blaine men. who believe all

Others are for him because they believe
he is the only man who can prevent
