Pittsburg Papers Tumbling Hesdiong ts
Haste for the Nomination Train

Haste for the Nomination Train
From the New York Sun.
PITrsBURo, August THE newspaper pres
of this city, with noteworthy unanimity, has
joined the Blaine boom.
The Dispatch, Commercial Gazette. Times,
Chronicle Telegraph, the LeaLr and the Press
have all pronounced for Blaine. The DispascA
in the morning will say, under the head OF
Politicians and the Blaine BOOM
1T is a fact that the present Blaine boom 10
about the most spontaneous and honest ex-
preston for public man from the people that
has been Witnessed in this country since the
call in 1865 upon Grant to go to the White
House. Ii has been a foregone conclusion ever
since Blaine wrote his famous reciprocity letter
that, if alive ana WELL nothing could prevent
his being the republican candidate for Press
dent in 1892.
III is the widespread and earnest feeling
among the people that Blaine is by great ODDS
the most capable man in the party, OF. indeed,
in public life in this country today"
The Commercial Gdzette in its leading edito-
rial today speaks of Mr.. Blaine as ''the one man
above all Others TO lead his party to victory in
the great battle of 1892.
Men who once distrusted and opposed him
are now his supporters, because to his con-
coded brilliancy he has added the proofs Of
conservative and dignifed statesmanship that
has made the State Department of this admin
istration the pride Of his counirymen."
the Chronicle Telegraph says; 1T 10 time for
the republican party OF this state and every
other state 20 speak in unmistskable terms for
the greatest statesman, the bra;niess>eader and
the most earnest, unfaltering exponent Of
publicau doctrines in the republic" II adds:
1t Is an old cry, a strong cry, and cry alto
gether-Blaine, Blaine, James q. Blaine"
. The Times. speaking of the attitude Of Quay
and others, says of Mr.. Blaine: His nomina-
ton is 80 clearly the party desire that there
will be no room in the next republican national
convention for any name but his, except he DE-
clines absolutely in advance"

party here are especially well pleased with the
many attentions they have received from
Messrs. Hege and Parke. who had charge OF the

the interests of their excursionists, and MANY
discomforts usual on such occasions were
avoided.
HOW MRS. HENDRICKS CAUGHT UP.
When the Baltimore and Ohio trains left
Washington Sunday morning Mrs. Hendricks,
the president Of the depsrtmentrelief corps,
was waiting ut the station at GaithersburR. ex-
pecting that one of the sections would stop for
her. BY some misunderstanding both trains
dashed by the station and Mrs. Hendricks was
in dilemma. So was her husband and all the
ladies' Of the corps who we're on the train. Mr..
Hege then undertook to get her on the train.
He managed her trip by wiring her what train
to take and wiring her from time to time until
she at last overlook the Washington special at
Chicago junction at 2 o'clock Monday morn
ing. 1t Is needless to say that Mrs. Hendricks
received hearty greeting from all on the
train. What seemed to be an impossibility
was overcome by Mr.. Hege's cool management
and Mrs. Hendricks determination.

GRATITUDE TO COL LINCOLN.
The members Of the Washington committee
feel grateful to Col C.. p. Lincoln for the
course he took in Withdrawing his name as q
| candidate for the office of commander-in-chief.
There is little doubt now that Washington
would have been beaten in the contest il he
had remained in the held. Col. Lincoln admits
that now himself. He may become a candi-

that his action this year will give him strength.

HOW TO TREAT A BLACKMAnER.
There WAS then, and there still is, being in
the form of man who makes his living by black-
mailing statesmen at the Capitol. He called
the young delegate out Of the House into the
corridor one afternoon in the spring OF 1882
and showed him an article concerning him
self which was exceedingly abusive and prob
ably libelous. The delegate read it and asked
the blackmailer what he intended doing with
the article. His reply was: 1T has been given
to me for publication. but you are too good q
fellow to be published in that way. II you
will give me q hundred dollars III suppress
it"
''Come down to my room at the National Of 8
o'clock tonight" responded the delegate,

manner"
Promptly at 8 o'clock the blackmailer en-
tered the room Of his victim at the hotel and
took . chair. The delegate read the article
again very carefully and then said: Twill you
suppress this article and leave the manuscript
with me for el00 cash and never ask me for
another cent?"

Of his present term in the Senate Accord
ing to what seems to be Trustworthy reports
he has declared this to be his intention, and
his friends do not doubt that such is his
purpose. This news viii not be received
without general and sincere regret. There
are comparatively few men in public life
TO day who rank with John Sherman as
statesman. 1t is not too much TO say that,
all things considered, ne is 1t the present
moment the biggest man in his party. He
Is not so brilliant as Blaine, but he poss-
esses other qualities which places him on
higher level than that occupied by the
American Premier. II is understood that
Mr.. Sherman's retirement viii carry with
it the remuneration of any future presiden-
tial aspirations. He has failed 10 realize
his supreme ambition, but he viii be not
less honored in history than the men of his
own state and party who have fllled the
executive chair. 1t is not unlikely that Mr..
Shermsn's desire for retirement has been
strengthened by the recent death Of his
distinguished brother.
