BLAINE's RESIGNATION
As Viewed by West Virginia Congressman
at Washington.
c-..snJ 1.T.o~1.r IN fbS PfoaxfHr

Special I6te0r0Ns 10 the hegsStU.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-When II was
heard yesterday afternoon that Blaine
had resigned from the cabinet everyone
Immediately felt the question OF MS
candidacy was settled. "He Is In the
fight and will win," was the cry among
Blaine Republicans although 1t was ev-
ident they were as much surprised oy
his sudden resignation as other people,
although frequent predictions have been
made in the last fortnight that
he would leave the Cabinet, no
one expected to-day's action. 1t seems
10 have been done on the spur or the
moment, and there is much frultless
speculation as to the immediate clrcum-
stances which led up to IL. 1t is certain
that as late as yesterday 1t was not ex-
pected at the White House that Blaine
would resign.
At the Capitol Republicans and Dem
ocrats agreed in declaring that Blaine
was now an avowed candidate and
would get the nomination. The Harrl-
son Republicans did not generally ad-
nit the latter, but ii was plain they felt
the chances were all that way. The
Democrats were well pleased that
Blaine should be the Republican nom
inee under these circumstances. They
felt he would be an easy man te beat,
after obtaining the nomination by the
tricky methods he has resorted to In his
dealings with Harrison.
The West Virginia Representatives
here all took the view that Blaine's res
ignation meant he was candidate. Mr..
Wilson said the Democrats need have
no fear of Blaine's candidacy under
these circumstances. He did not regard
him as any stronger in West Vir-
ginia that any other Republican can
didate would be. Mr.. Pendleton said
that II Blaine was nominated by the Re-
publicans after his shlfty and tricky
treatment of Harrison it would make
the duty OF the Democrats clearer than
ever. They must nominate Cleveland
whose courage, maniiness and blunt
honesty would present the strongest
possible contrast to the Republican can
didate. Cleveland has defeated Blaine
before and he would do 1t again.

To Collect Damages for Injuries In tho
Recent idaho Riots.
SPOKANE, Sept. 12.-lSpecial. The nom
union miners have adopted legal tactics
against certain property owners in the
Ceur d'Alene mining district for damages
accruing out of injuries received during
the troubles there. Attorneys Hyde
and Glass, of this city, will file
suits Immediately for twelve clients
in the state court of the First judicial
district of Idaho against the Helena and
Frisco Mining Company. The plaintiffs
in the suits are men who were employed
in the Frisco mill when the latter was
blown up with giant powder and who re-
ceived various injuries at the time. The
aggregate amount sued for will approx
mate $l20, 900 and the attorneys in the case
believe their clients have excellent grounds
for action.
These men state that they were induced
to go to work in the Frisco mill upon
representation that there was no trouble,
prospective or otherwise, and that their
lives and property would be absolutely in
violate. Instead, they claim they were
shot at, some of them wounded, and more
or less of their private effects destroyed.
The suit promises to be an interesting one.
