THE FARIBAULT SCHOOL PLAN
Denounced In a Strong Resolution by the
Baptist Homa Mission Society.

Denounced in a Strong Resolution by the
Baptist HON. Mission Society.
PHILADELPHIA, MatS2S-At the conclud-
ing session of the Baptist Home Mission
Society to-day the resolution of DR.. H. L.
Wayland, protesting against the outrages
on colored men the South by lawless mobs,
and invoking the Government to prevent
their continuance, was adopted. Other reso-
lutions presented yesterday. protesting
against the opening of the Worlds Fair on
Sunday, against prominence being given
the Roman Catholic Church in the arrange
ments for the Fair, and "Recognizing the
housewife instead of the cloister or nun or
Sister of Charity as a helper in Western
civilization" we're reported. Another reso-
luton was introduced by DR.. Wayland and
adopted, as follows:
Resolved. That as American citizens and
Baptists we insist upon the entire separa-
ton of Church and State and that, til erefore
we steadily and sturolily protest against any
such dangerous assaults upon our public
schools as that known as the Faribault and
Saltwater plan. inasmuch as the triumph of
such plans would necessarily result in
the ultimate dissipation of our splendid
public school system. and would also, result
in an unconstitutional union of Church and
state"
General T. J. Morgan, United States
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and
others spoke on work among the
colored people. The society chose Denver
as its place of meeting one year hence.
Hon. E. Nelson Blake, of Massachusetts,,
was elected President of the society.

Says Mr.. Miilken, ~ no Declares tho Sec
retary Will Surely Accept.
WASHINGTON, May 2S-"Blaine will
accept the Republican nomination if it is
offered to him. am satisfied of it. have
substantial reasons for thinking so which 1
am not at liberty to make public at
present" The speaker was Representative
Milliken, of Maine, and his words had
reference to the Presidential situation.
There are few, if any, men in public lite
who can speak with more intelligence about
Mr.. Blaine that Mr. Milliken. The two
gentlemen have been intimate friends for
many years, and during that time Mr.. Mill
ken has shared the Secretary's confidence to
degree not usually possessed by the lat
ter's friends. His emphatic Endorsement of
the declaration that Blaine would accept if
nominated may be accepted as an indication
that he, too, is fully satisfied that Blaine
will carry the party standard in the coming
campaign if the honor of a nomination be
given him.
'You NAV be certain of one thing" said
Mr.. Milliken. "Mr. Blaine will write no
more letters. He has written the last letter
he will ever write so far as the Presidency
is concerned, and he will be nominated at
Minneapolis. Of that 1 have no doubt.
Will be make an effort to prevent this?
No, he will not raise his hand to prevent
his friends taking any actioa they may
deem advisable. There are many reasons
why Blaine ought to be nominated. 1t is
sufficient. however, to mention but two Of
them: First, the sentiment of the country
is overwhelmingly favorable to him, and in
saying this mean that he is closer to the
hearts of the people than any other living
American; second, we must nominate man
who can win, and we can win with Blaine"

Kinney, of Pittsburg, lies in this city in q
semi-conscious condition, with death almost
certain, suffering intensely from fractured
skull and other bruises which he received
in mysterious manner Thursday night
Kinney was visiting brother in the coun-
try four miles from here, and day before
yesterday came into town and became in
toxicated. In this condition he started for
horne, but in the morning he was found in a
boiler shop on the edge of town in The con-
dition already stated His first words
were, "Well, got the worst of it"
He was removed to house nearby, when
a physician was summoned and pronounced
his case almost hopeless. There is every
indication of foul play, notwithstanding
the man says he fell and injured himself;
but as he is in a semi-conscious state, he
really does not know what did occur. He
was struck with club or piece of iron
inst above the right temple, causing in
fammation above theeye. HI was also badly
bruised on the side of the body, probably
bv kicks which he received after being
knocked down. Kinney knows he had
some money with him, which is missing,
but does not remember being with or meet
ing anybody on the road after leaving here.

Just before taking the vote the Moderator
made statement of the power of the
Assembly in case the appeal should be sus-
tanned. That power goes to the extent that
it is competent TO reverse the Judgment Of

INGERSOLL FOR GRESHAM.

He Thinks Blaine Holds the Key to tho Sit
uation, but Doesn't Want the Nomina-
tion-Able to Dictate Harrison's Success
sion, Dut Not Friendly to the President.
CHICAGO. May 28.-Colonel Robert G..
Ingersoll, who is in the city on legal busi-
ness, gave this evening, to a reporter, an
expression of his views upon the present
political situation. He declared himself to
be in favor of the nomination Of Gresham
and expressed the belief that Harrison, if
nominated, cannot be elected. The Colonel
added:
1 suppose that Mr.. Blaine can be nomi-
mated If he wants to he. but Judging him rs
an ordinary man. suppose we will be justi-
fed in saying that he does not really want
the nomination himself. But do think he
does not want Harrison to have it. 1 think
he will take II If it is necessary to prevent
the nomination of Harrison, but the prob
ability is that some other man may be Sc
prevent Harrison's nomination exist?
Well, take 1t for granted that
they are not very good friends. l
base my opinion on what has been pub
lished as having come from the Harrison
stde.e think that Blaine can be nominated
if he desires to be. but the proba bility Is
that he has selected, or that his friends
have selected, some other man in case the
friends of Blaine do not suggest his name to
the convention. My opinion Is just this,
that Blaine is master of the situation: that
he can have Harrison nominated If he wants
to: that he can defeat him if he wants to,
and think he wants to.
Colonel Inyersoll said he considered
Blaine stronger as a candidate for the npmi-
nation than as the nominee of the party.
He continued:
While he has more friends in the party
than any other man in it, he has also a good
many enemies think the strongest man
the one who would secure the largest fol-
lowing-is judge Gresham. l think he
would get more votes than any man the Re-
publican party could nominate, for the rea-
son that all the laboring people, the asSoc;a-
tions and unions feel that he sympathiZes
with them to this extent, that he knows
and feels that labor is not receiving its just
share, and that he sympathiZes with them
in every reasonable effort that they have
made or are making to better their con-
dition. And Tor that reason I think he
would gain a larger vote than any other
man that could be nominated by the Repub-
lican party.
Let me say with regard to the President,
that think his administration has been a
fairly good one. lam not objecting to him
on any personal grounds whatever. but do
not believe in the second term for anybody.
Another objection have is that l don't be-
lieve Harrison can be elected. There is a
good deal of opposition to him in Colorado,
in Montana, in Washington and in Nevada,
and we cannot afford to lose any States next
November.

THE TIDAL WAVE TOWARD BLAINE
Continued from First Page.

tary OF the Republican National Commit
tee, supplemented this statement few
hours later with the remark, gleefully
made, that the situation was unchanged,
which meant that Blaine had returned to
Washington leaving his friends assured
that he would take no steps toward adding
anything to his letter of February ito Gen
eral Clarkson.
After the departure of Secretary of State
and Mrs. Blaine, Mr.. Platt, Mr.. Fassett and
General Clarkson had long talk at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. which was resumed in
the evening at the Plaza Hotel. This con-
sultation lasted until late, and was stated
to have resulted in the formation of q
plan of campaign. 1t was learned
to-day that when Blaine sat for his photo
graph on Friday, 20 different negatives in
as many positions were taken. All these
portraits have been copyrighted, and many
OF them are expected to be on exhibition at
