There seems to be no doubt in the mind
of Nate Field as who should succeed Mr..
Edmunds in the Senate. She says in her
paper, Washington:
No one is so well fitted to wear Senator
Edmunds'S mantle in this respect, and in
Othtrs a. John W. Stewart, whose long
and honorable service in the House of
Representatives entities him to promo
tiun. Vermont has for score of years
commanded attention far beyond her i'm
por.lnce in the Union, on account of the
exceptional ability with which she has
been represented in Congress. She can
not afford to send second-rate men to
Washington. If she does, she will com
nit harai>iri, for New England is fast be-
ing "vcrpowered by the giant States of
the West. Force of character and hon
es, purpose alone can meet the issue and
maintain an equilibrium. With John w.
Stewart in Senator Edmunds's chair,
Vermont need not fear the loss of her
well-earned prestige.

Ex-Gov. Foraker put his foot in his
mouth in great shape AT the opening of
the fourth national convention of the Re-
publican league of the United States, at
Cincinnati, Tuesday, when he said in his
address of welcome: "The Republicans
of Ohio cherish with grateful recollection
and appreciation the name and memory
of Abraham Lincoln; they have a Just
pride in the stalwart loyalty and patriot
ism of Ulvsse, >. Grant and an enthusi-
astic admiration and devotion for the
greatest living American, James G..
Blaine. You seem to be affected the
same way, and well you may be, for Mr..
istration." Hon. IL. II. Powers of this dis
trict, who was to reply TO the address of
welcome, neatly rebuked the Ohio man
by saying that the convention was not a
body to nominate men, but to provide a
way to elect the men after they were
properly nominated by the party's estab-
lished method. But Foraker's remark
raised row, the Indiana delegates re-
garding 1t as a stab at Harrison. OF the
first days proceedings the Boston Jour
nails correspondent says: "The honors
of the day were carried off by two Yer
monters, Judge John NJ. Thurston, presi-
dent of the league, now of Nebraska, but

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE subject of
Methodist federation was taken up again
in the Methodist ecumenical and a num-
ber of apologies were offered for hard words
spoken during the "ruction" Thursday.
They were mutually accepted and every
thing was made serene again. After some
speeches in favor of federation the re-
ports favoring the idea was unanimously
adopted. Another resolution was adopted
the pith of which was that men
Of notoriously immoral life should not be
permitted to occupy public Office, and
another demanding the complete suppress

Stephenson and Mr.. Atkinson, of Eng

Thursday which the Primitive Metho-
dists didn't like. One of the Primitive
Methodists arose and expressed the CRATE

failed to notice Mr.. Atkinson's remarks,

had not been kindly.

wrong. Hon. }. d. Taylor, of Ohio, said

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-John Hopley, ed
itor of The Journal, Bucyrus, O., recently
wrote Hon. James G. Blaine that the
Democratic papers in Ohio were para
graphing him as an opponent of the Nc
kinley bill, and the following reply has
been received by Mr.. Hopley, dated Au-
gusta, Me-, Oct. Is, 1891:
my DEAR SIR: You inform me that the
Democratic paper in your town and many
Democratic papers throughout Ohio keep
the following paragraph standing in type:
But there is not section or line in the
entire bill mckinley tariff that will open
market for another bushel of wheat or
another barrel of pork-James G. Blaine
to Senator Frye, July IL, lS9o' This SEN
tence is garbled and taken from its proper
connection 1t creates wrong impress
sion. What did say is this: I do not
doubt that in many respects the tariff bill
C
and that most of its provisions are in ac-
cordance with the wise policy Of protec-
tiou; out there is not a section or a line in
the entire bill that will open market
for another bushel of wheat or another
pound of pork
Simply Wanted a Reciprocity Clause.
"The letter in which this passage occurs
was written to Senator Frye on July II,
1890, and the Mckinley bill did not be-
come law until Oct. l, nearly three
months thereafter. In my letter to Sena-
tor Frye i objected to the bill because it
did not contain a reciprocity clause,
which would provide a market for wheat
and pork, for other products of the farm,
and for various fabrics. Before the bill
| was finally passed the reciprocity clause
was inserted, and a large addition was
made to the free list. 1t will, therefore,
be seen from what l said in my letter
that the objection l made to the McKin-
ley bill was entirely removed before the
bill became a law. Let me further say
| that the reciprocity clause has given am
pie market for many barrels of -four and
| many pounds of pork"
Not Opposed to the Mckinley Bill.
Mr.. Blaine then reviews the effects of
| the reciprocity clause, citing the treaties
with Brazil, Spain and San Domingo and
stating that by the treaty with Brazil the
duty on our flour was reduced from S. 20
| to 81 per barrel, giving US that market.
| The removal of the pork prohibition by
| Germany without treaty he says has
| given us market for. from SIS 000, 600 to
$40. 100000 worth of FORK. He con-
cludes as follows: Il am not, there
fore, an opponent of the Mckinley bill, as
| the Democratic papers of Ohio are con-
stantly alleging. On the contrary, have
cordially supported it ever since it was
perfected by the insertion of the recipro-
tcity clause
