Foraker on nIaine's letter.

ClycIsNArI, Feb. 8.-1he Post this after
noon prints an interview with ex-Gov.
Foraker on Blainc's letter OF dcclinaton.
Said Mr.. Foraker Mr. Blaine will stand
in history without rival. Twice when
he WAS q candidate for the nomination ii
was refused him. Once when nominated
he Was defeated. Such record would
destroy tho power, influence, and prestige
Of almost any other man. But instead
he has constantly grown greater, stronger
and nearer 10 the hearts Of the people,
until, as result, be hos had literally
forced upon him an opportunity TO make
the unprecedented record 81 twice decin-
inca nomination which would have meant
in each instance an election. Somebody
once said in substance, that to refuse
ito be Bishop is greater than to be
Bishop The same can be- said OF
the Presidency, and especially Of Mr..
Blaine, who has twice refused it.
"As Republican, deeply regret Mr.
Bleine's determination. In saving this
l don't mean TO disparase President Har-
rison. He has given us wise and safe
Administration, hut the truth is apparent
to ell that he dosen't have that hold
upon the affections Of the people
that Blaine has enjoyed, and in conse-
ouencc cannot have the strength as a can
didate that Mr. Blaine would have. Of
course, I do not know that President Har-
rison will lie rcnominaied, but in saying
what have, have SO assumed. We
would have had an easy victory with
Blaine; we may have hard fight, hut it
will be triumphant one with Harrison. !"

scene of the fight is at Silver Point, soms

For several years the people around Sill
yer Point have been split into factions I'M
der the leadership of the Cars and the
Walaccs, aud ever and anon a member of
one Of the factions has been picked off by
one OF the other.
Last Wednesday night there was q big
mountain breakdown near Silver Point
and all the neisIborhood attended, includ-
ing The Cars and the Walaccs. The ring
leaders were thrown together, and Carr
made some remark that Wallace consid-
cred offensive.
He seemed very anxious to take it up
and replied quickly. No immediate trou-

thusiastc with mountain whisky, and 1t is
ciaimed bn the Wallace faction that while
on their way home they were waylnid and

He has never, to any ono, who was anthor-
lied to speak to the public, made q direct
statement as to whether he would or would
not be candidate. Everything that has
appeared in the public prints has been
mere speculation. The fanciful utter.
ances of correspondents who substituted
the imaginary for the truth, have been
eagerly read by tho general public, and
everybody except few intimate friends

as to his purpose.
Hence it is that Blninc's every move
