the other from New York, in speaking Of
Secretary Blaine, yesterday, said they had

took him there, made some aliusiCn TO the
candidate of the Minneapolis convention
Being an ardent admirer and personal
friend of the secretary. he took oc-
casion to express his views very freely.
He said, among other things: MIR Sucre-
tary, there is but one solution Of the pres
idential question, and with you rs n can
didate the Republican party can surely
march on TO victory, but with any o.her
leader the outcome would be exceedingly
doubtful The secretary made no re-
sponse beyond smile, which the New

GAS to the secrctary's health, he added,
"he has not looked as well to me for sew

with him, except that lac has now aud then
acute attacks Of dyspepsia" This the scc-
retary admitted, rcmarking that all the
stories about his serious illness cmanatcd
from persons who were cudeayUring to
make the public believe he was in very

marked, were pursued while lc was az Bar

tH Fire at Rehoboth.
About II 80 last evening Reynolds large
stock barn ut Rehoboth was discovered TO
be on fire, but il had got too firm hold
TO be checked and the building which was
substantially built, abogt 100 feet long and
comparatively new, was q total wreck in u
short space of time.
Fiity-one head of cattle, sA horses,
about 30 tons OF hny and all of the farm
ing utensils and tools were destroyed. A
mill, wagon, set OF double harness and q
few other things were saved. No cause
could bo assigned for the fire. There Is
believed to be an insurance on the build
ing, but the stock will be a total loss. \
conservative estimate would put the loss
at 5000.
The only means of lighting the flames
was a mill;-pail brigade, but the IRE was
too large to succumb TO methods IN vogus

The Democrats, Fearing Defeat. Raise the
Old Cry Of Republican Fraud.

New HAVEN, Conn, Nov. l0.-The
Union. in an extra edition tonight, pub
fishes the following: 1.-The Democratic
state committee is in possession of evidence
tending to show that some of the Repub-
lcan managers are engaged in a conspiracy
to again count out the Democrats elected to
state offices Tuesday.
A misleading and Illegal form of return
is to be used, under the requirement of the
constitution, being sent out from the office
of the hold-over secretary, Walsh. 1t con-
tains several traps to catch the unwary
moderators upon the subject of rejected
votes.
BY counting all these rejected votes as If
votes cast against Judge Morris and his
associates, the conspirators hope to wipe
out the large majority received by the
Democratic candidates.
It is known that several hundred votes,
many for Judge Morris, have been thrown
out for illegality. On this basis Republi-
can Chairman Benton has been claiming
today that Judge Morris lacks 400 Of
majority"
