RECIPROCITY IDEA.
YOUNG HARRISON CLAIMS IT FOR DAD
AND IGNORES BLAINE.
The Maine Statesman Highly Yncensed--
He VIII Now Allow the Situation TO
Take Care of ItseIf-A Tarif-Book.
From Our Regular Correspondent


WASHINGTON, May 6.-The talk among
the few Republican politicians who at
present can be found in the city il that the
Persistency Of young Russell Harrison through
his newspaper publications, In trying 70 under
rate the Secretary Of State and give the Presi-
dent alone credit for the reciprocity idea, has
had the effect Of agitating the friends Of Mr..
Blaine, and within few days it has been
noticed that special efforts have been made TO
impress the country with the fact that instead Of
beng physical wreck Mr.. Blaine Is In better
health than he has been for many years. Care
has also been taken TO revive the circumstances
which led the Secretary Of State 70 spring his re-
ciprocity issue.
WILL not RESIST.
There are well-informed men here VINO Insist
that hr. Blaine Il 30 much incensed NJ the way
things have been going that he will remain pas
siNe, and n his admirers decide 10 urge his noIni-
nation IN 1892 he will make no resistance, but
let tne situation take care Of itself In n recent
reference 20 this matter the DISPATCH CORE
spondence included the facts regarding n call
mat was made upon Mr.. Blaine by number Of
leading Republicans, and Il can again be stated
positively that there Is excellent authority for
the story that Mr.. Blaine has been advised by
prominent Republicans that II will be impossi-
Die Tor any one but himself 30 stop the tide that
Is becoming stronger in favor Of his nomination.
WHO Is THE POPULAR MANY
Some mon who are conceded 10 be warm per-
sonal and political friends OF the Secretary OF
State have declared recently that MIR. Blaine
would soon write n letter declining to permit his
name to be used in this connection. but there is
growing belief that yo1ng Russell Harrison and
othors arc becoming so bold and audGcious that
the Maine statesman VIII be compelled foreman
quiet and let time and developments decide
whether Blaine or Harrison IL the popular man
among the rank md file Of the Republicans
There Is such n thing as throwing dirt on man
az the wrong time. 10 was only yesterday that
eX-COngrcssman Farquhur stated here in pub
lished interview that Mr.. Blaine IN the choice OF
the New York Republicans for the presidency,
and II g. wclLknown fact that ClarksOn and
other influential politicians In the party are not
for Harrison.
MIXED SITUATION.
Still, n great many people insist that Harrison
with The power Of patronage AZ his command can
force his own denomination. The situation, to
say tho least, Is becoming mixed, nnd unless the
Republicans can afiliate they will soon be in a
bad way.
CARsoN's TARIFF-BOOK.
Persons are sending here from all portions Of
the country for copies VI the tariff compilation
by Major John VI. Carson, clerk OF the Ways and
Means Committee. but ~ only q limited number
Of the pamphlet was printed IL Is impossible TO
supply the demands. This Is very handy lit
tie book. Il gives tho rates Of duty under the
present Law, shows what the duties were under
the law 81 Ssh ami also gives tho duties pro-
posed BY tho Nlis bill that was passed by tho
House ina the Fiftieth Congress. Major Carson IL
an expert Ia these matters, and ms look mas
proven n valuable aid TO those wishing TO iauili-
Hri2e themselves with the tariff rates. Next
winter II Congress orders a large edition printed,
which viii probably be done, the demand can be
suUUlipd
