APoLIrIcAL SENSATION.

That the outside world has been

been fully informed ss to the exact
status of affairs at political head.
quarters,is now evident to all. Some
time ago Mr.. Blaine wrote his
letter saying that he would not be .
candidate before the Minneapolis
convention. We believe that he was
sincere and did not wish to interfere
with o denomination of President
Harrison. Since that time the people
are in ignorance of the extract causes
that led to the sensation Of last Sat
urday-the resignation Of Secretary
Blaine. We give the correspondence
between the secretary and president
Just as IL occurred:
DEPARTMENT OF STATED
"WAsHINaTON, ID. c. June fl 1925
TO the President:
II respectfully beg leave to submit
my resignation OF the office Of seere-
tsry Of state OF the United States,
to which / was appointed by you on
the 5th of March, 1859. The condi-
ton Of public business in the depart
ment OF state justifies ME In request
ing that my resignation may be re-
piled TO Immediately.
IL have the honor to be. very re-
spectfully, your obedient servant,
JAMES g. BLAINE"
EXECUTIVE MANsIoN,l
"WAsHINGToN, ID. G. June 1892
TO the Secretary of State:
Your letter OF this date, tender
ing ysur resignation of the office OF
secretary of state Of the United
States, has been received. The
terms in which you state your desire
are such as to leave me no choice
but to accede 10 your wishes at once
Your resignation Is therefore accept
ed.
VERY respectfully yours,
BENJAMIN HARRISON"
ITO Hon. James G.. Blaine"
That Mr.. Blaine il an honorable
gentleman, all should admit. That
holding 3 cabinet position under
President Harrison, when rumors Of
his candidacy filled the air even
after his letter OF declination was
written, must have been very emhar-
RAISING, is not hard to believe. That
the clamor Of warm political friends
and supporters from all over the
United States, urging him to say
that he would accept the nomina.
tion, was somewhat trying to Mr..
Blaine, is but reasonable to suppose,
and to avoid appearing untrue to
President Harrison, and IL possible
to escape the censure of the presi-
dents friends, 10 1t but natural that
he should resign? We do not think
he Is seeking the Minneapolis nomi-
nation, yet IL the representatives. Of
d, Coz, 600 people, in convention as
demand that he be the
standard bearer for 1892, can he re-
fuse to accept the trust? Has he
not done more than mortal man
should do to make room for some
one else, yet IL the people insist that
he Is the man, we claim that Ii is Mr..
Blsine's duty to accept the nomina-
ton, and Mr.. Harrison and his
friends should rally to his support
as one man.
At this writing 1t is impossible to
tell who the nominee will be. Our
preference is and has been that
Harrison be renominated,
but it is not for us to criticize the
action Of a man like Blaine, aud II
he receives the nomination at
Minneapolis this week such 9 roll of
will go out from ocean
to ocean as has never been uttered
for mortal man before, and he will
be elected by sure and safe ma
jority.
