Blaine has used and from his well known
aversion to again becoming presiden-
tial candidate, l fully expected that he
would write such a letter. Mr.. Blaine
was averse to becoming a candidate in
1884 and again i'll 1888, and l presume his
disinclination to go before the conven-
ton is just as strong now"
Are Mr.. Blaine's friends likely to nom
mate him in spite of this letter?
what the convention will do cannot
foretell, but I should think that the
friends of Mr.. Blaine would understand
that he is not candidate and does not
desire the HONOR
Ex-Speaker Reed declined to express
any opinion on the letter or its effects.
SORROW TO THOUSANDS.
New York Tribune on the Letter-The
Herald's Comment.
F. New YORK, February THE Herald
says of Mr. Blaine's declaration that he
will not be candidate for the Presi-
deney: $50 far as the Republicans are
concerned it may be said they have lost
their strongest man. By all odds, Mr..
Blaine was the most available leader. AS
to the Democrats, their shrewdest candi-
date has retired from the field. If they
handle their forces with skill and enter
the contest with q strong western man,
it will be their own fault if they fail to
carry the day."
The Tribune says: ''This formal an
nouncement will cause sorrow and dis
appointment to thousands of Republi-
cans. There is no reason for dissem-
bling that fact. No living American has
inspired such ardent devotion, and upon
no other have SO many Americans
longed to confer the greatest distinction
within their gift. The certainty that the
foremost citizen of the country will not
be the next President of the United
States and the presumption that he will
never occupy that great Office cannot fail
to afflict multitude of his fellow citi-
zens with a keen sense of personal grief.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Blaine may not
immediately settle beyond controversy
the result of the Republican convention,
but undoubtedly it does, in large meas
ure, clear the field for Gen. Harrison"

AFTER THE GAS TRUST.
Application FOR an Injunction and the
Appbintmen ent of a Receiver.

Application FOR an Injunction and the
Appointment of a Receiver.
CHICAGO, Oct. IA demand has
finally been made for the appointment
Of a receiver for the gas trust. In the
circuit court Thomas II. Martin has
filed long bill against the Chicago Gas
Light and Coke company, the Peoples
Gas Light and Coke company, the Con.
sumers' Gas company, the Equitable
Gas Light and Fuel company, the Hyde
Park Gas company, the Lake Gas COM
pany, and the Fidelity Insurance, Trust
and Safe Deposit company, of Phila-
delphia. The court is asked to appoint
a receiver for these companies, whose
duty 1t shall be to take possession of all
the assets, franchises and privileges be.
longing to the various concerns and con-
tinue to manufacture gas under the di.
rection of the court; also to enjoin the
Fidelity Insurance, Trust and Safe De-
posit company from acting as trustee
under the contracts under which the
companies were consolidated The
COURT is further asked to cancel the
stocks held under recent contracts and
to place them in the hands of receiver.
Meanwhile an injunction is sought TO
restrain any disposition OF the stock.
Allegations are made in the bill that
by reason of the different companies
being controlled by the trust it is i'm
possible for them to discharge their pub.
lie duties except at the direction of an
outside force, and that it is the design
of the combination to limit the supply
of gas and greatly enhance its price
over its actual worth to consumers.

Found an Old Roll.

SPRINGFIELD, o., Oct. Eli Kelly, 9
well-known young man of Troy, is in
great luck, according to correspondence
from there. While looking through
some old rubbish in his room, in the real

to tear off the covering, and when he
did SO small bag dropped to the fiool
with rustling sound. He opened the
bag and discovered a roll of paper
money. The roll contained $1S6, part
Of which, however, was in old state
bank bills. No owner to the property
has claimed it yet. Who it belongs tc
is unknown. 1t has laid where it was
found for many years, as the denomina
tions and accumulated dust shows.
