BRoCKToN OFFICIALS CRITICIZED
Because the Masons are Favored Above
Other Orders.

BRoCKToN, Mass, June 1.-The action
of the city government delegating the
Masonic body to lay the corner stone OF
the City Hall has caused much discussion.
The Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows,
Ancient Order Of Hibernians and other
organizations refused to take part because
the Masons had charge.
The Central Labor union makes the fol-
lowing comment on the subject: 1--WE
hold that the city govern ment should in
vite his honor the mayor to lay the cor
ner stone, as he represents for the tim Q
being the whole people OF Brockton and
not any particular class or clique. We
do not wish to be understood AS opposed
TO the Masons, as such. but we submit
that they represent but small portion
of the people.
"We rejoice that the day is not far dis
tant when the people of Brockton shall
elect a mayor with sand enough TO assert
his rights and city government with
brains enough To know what is right in
matters of this kind, and who, knowing,
will act without fear or favor from any
one"

Four "-Piatt Replies to the Interview
with Harrison.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-"President Har-
rison will DC nominated on the first bal
lot"
"Mr. Blaine will be nominated on the
first ballot"
Thus say the Republican leaders The
situation, sa 5 a special To the New York
Press, is unique in American politics.
Predictions as to the outcome of the Min
neapolis convention are absolutely posi-
tive as to both President Harrison and
Secretary Blaine, and seemingly the pre-
dictions on both sides have equal author
ity.
Interest will move Northwest with the
delegates and politicians to the conyen-
tion at Minneapolis. most of whom will
be on their way by Friday at the furthest.
On Thursday a Senatorial party contain
ing Messrs. Shoup and Carey and other
members of the committee will start, in
order To reach Minneapolis in time to
take part In the meeting of the commit
tee, called for Saturday.
At that meeting the temporary organiz-
alton of the convention will be determined
upon, and the contesting delegates claim
ing seats in the convention will have a
hearing. On Friday Senator Higgins OF
Delaware, one of the delegates from that
otdVe, Will lcdNc III ~ pTiNoec Car Win ~
number of his associates on the floor as
his guests on the trip.
An earnest effort will be made in the
Committee on Credentials to have the
anti-administration delegation from Ala
bama recognized, in which case its spokes-
man, a man named Austin, who has
resonant voice, will arise when the first
ballot is called and with a flourish of
words will cast the vote OF his delegation
for James q. Blaine.
The Arkansas delegation has already
been seen, and. while it is not certain that
its entire membership will vote Blaine,
there will be enough votes to keep the
ball rolling.
Then will come California, of which
State Senator FELTON,. delegate at-large.
says the entire delegation will vote for
Blaine. When California has cast its vote
for Blaine, it will be followed by
Colorado, which delegation will also be
solid for Blaine.
BY this time, to use the expressive
words OF Senator to-day: "It is expected
that the team will have run away. It is
not expected that anybody will try to stop
it, but, on the contrary, there will be wild
excitement to make the runaway fly
along faster.n

Platt Speaks Out.

WASHINGTON, June I. - Ex-senator
Thomas G.. Patti has spoken his mind.
In an interview last night he explained
why he is opposed to the Presidents re-
nomination, and sharply criticised some
of the Presidents recent utterances.
Mr.. Harrison, in Mr.. Platt's view Of the
case, Is coolly assuming the credit due to
members of his Cabinet for whatever
has been. accomplished during his ad-
ministration. Also he has an idea that
the Presidency is his by sort of right
and he is entitled to it. Mr.. Platt avows
his willingness to credit the President
with patriotic motives, n conscientious
performance of his duties and many
other admirable attributes.
But in substance Mr.. Platt opposes Mr..
Harrison's denomination at Minneapolis
on the ground of availability. He is the
choice of the ofiice-holders and not of the
masses of the party.
And he has a singular facility in max
ING enemies
