In Three Moves, Which We're Simply Love
Courtship and Marriage.
NEW YORK, June 8. - Especial ] - An
event unusual in this country took place on
Thursday night in the African Methodist
Episcopal Church in Paterson, N. j., and
drew to that tnobtrusive building a great
crowd of persons both white and colored.
1t was the wedding of the colored pastor of
the church and a white woman. The BRIDE
groom, the Rev. J. D. Bloice, is South
erner. He is graduate of North Caro-
lima college, and he studied theology in
Boston. He was missionary to India and
atterward he preached in Manchester, Eng
land.
1t was while he was in Manchester eight
years ago that he met Miss Maria Granger.
Miss Granger was born in Manchester about
80 years ago. At 16 she wanted to be q
missionary and a rich woman. Miss Had
field, daughter of the late Hon. j. Had
field, NJ P, became interested in her, and
adopted'her. Miss Granger and Mr. Bloice
fell in love at first sight, and finally after he
was settled in Paterson he proposed and she
accepted him. She arrived from England
on the Germanic on Thursday, a week be-
fore her wedding day, and spent the inter-
vening time at the house of one of his
colored Pensioners
The bride is blue-eyed blonde She wore
a steel-gray satin costume and bonnet The
colored folks and white folks shook hands
with the couple after the ceremony, and

He Has No Use for a Man Who Cares So
Little for the Colored Man.
CHICAGO, June 3.-John NJ. Langston
was interviewed in this city to-day. He
said the only man that could give the negro
in the South justice was Blaine. He almost
shouted and brought his hand down on a
typewriter copy of the communication
sent to a number of ministers by the Presi-
dent deploring the outrages committed
against the negroes in the South, but stat
ing that the Constitution prevented the
President from taking any steps to prevent
the outrages.
Mr.. Langston declared that his people
hold the balance of power in Illinois, Ohio
and Pennsylvania, and might disastrously
exert it if Harrison was nominated. He as
serted that Attorney General Miller. the
Presidents law partner, had proved the
most unfriendly man to the colored people
who could have been named for that place,
and that President Harrison had snubbed
the colored people in the Wold's Fair ap-
pointmentS

LEW WALLACE Is OUTsP0KEN,

He Says Blaine's Letter Was an Official
Document and Must Be Respected.
MINNEAPoL1s, June 3.-The author of
"Ben Hur," the chivalrous Lew Wallace,
and himself delegate, said to-day:
Harrison will be nominated on the first
ballot. Blaine's name will not be mentioned
before the convention. A count of the dele
gates will show this to any sensible man.
Blaine's letter was an official document cent
to the Chairman of the National Committee,
and meant just what it said. There will be
an effort to stampede the Harrison dele
gates. This, l am satisfied, will be one of
the strong cards in the hands of the antis
But it won't succeed. The Harrison men
know about that scheme and are prepared
for it. An effort may also be made to pack
the galleries and devote them to Blaine
criers. But this, also, will fail of its purpose.
As for the opposition to Harrison, allow me
to say if you go to the bottom in every case
you will lind personal grievance. Part the
hair of each of these malcontents in the
middle and you will see sore spot.

THE BLAINEITES' PLATFORM.

General Alger's Following Get Out
Blainc.A AIger Circular Eight Stronc
Reasons Why Harrison Shouldn't BE
Preferred to His Prime Minister Now.
tBY ASSOCIATED PREss.1
MINNEAPOLIs, June 3.-Thet General
Alger is at heart for Blaine, and that his
own State delegation is now for Blaine for
the Presidency and Alger for the Vice
Presidency, no one any longer doubts. If
there had been any skepticism upon this
point it was removed tonight by the dis
tribution of circular from the Michigan
headquarters bearing the portraits of Blaine
and Harrison, and reading as follows:
UNDER THE OAKS AT JACKSON.
Fremont and Dayton, 1856. Blaine and
Alger, Minneapolis, 1892
The Republican party and the people de-
mand the nomination of Blaine:
Because he commands the confidence and
admiration of our entire population in u
greater degree than does any other living
American to-day.
Republican party-"Reciprocity, which he
originated, and Protection" +" the unyielding
champion of which he has been for more
than quarter OF a century-would be best
administered in his hands.
Because he believes in the eternal Isepara-
tfon and divorcement of church and schools.
Because he can carry all the silver states
without pledge or a doubt.
Because he can bring back to the Repub-
lican fold the hundreds of thousands of
farmers who have been drifting from their
moorings.
Because a large number of thoughtful, con-
servative Democrats. who understand and
appreciate Mr.. Blaine's great ideas as to
reciprocity and protection, and who most
earnestly commend and indorse his views as
to the rights and duties of American citizen
ship, will cast their vote for him this year.
Because a great majority OF the Republican
party believe that one term in the
Presidential chair is honor enough for any
man, and that this policy should be adhered
to except in cases of great emergency or ma
tional danger, which does not exist at this
time.
Because Mr.. Blaine most keenly realizes
the necessity Hor the enactment of legisla-
tion and judicious enforcement of laws that
will secure to the enfranchised colored men
of the South their constitutional right to
cast one ballot at every election, and have
that ballot honestly counted.
On the reverse side of this circular is
printed in full the famous speech of
Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll in nominating
Blaine 16 years ago. "This circular was
submitted to General Alger last night be-
fore we left Detroit" said Colonel Gavotte,
"and it met his approval. That is all 1 can
say as to General Alger's position. I think
it is sufficient.
