ment. So far as the republicans are
concerned it may be said without
fear of contradiction that they have
lost their strongest man By all odds
Mr. Blaine was their most available
leader. As to the democrats their
shrewdest opponent has retired from
the field. They have large number OF
men who can certainly win against
Harrison and who ought to be able to
win against Blaine. II they handle
their forces with skill and enter the
contest with o strong western man II
will be their own fault il they fail to
carry the day for the great bulk OF tho
American people in all sections OF the
country are with them"
The Tribune says:
"Mr. Blaine tells the chairman OF the
republican national committee and
through him the party and the country
that he Is not candidate for the prcsi-
dency and that mis- name will not 60
before the Minneapolis convention.
This formal announcement will cause
sorrow and disappointment to thou
sands of republicanc, and there
is no reason for assembling that
fact. No other living American has
inspired such ardent devotion, and
upon no other have so many
Americans longed to confer the great
est distinction within their gift That
is simple and obvious truth which
nobody doubts and which disparages
nobody. The certainty that the fore
most 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 q multi
tude of his fellow citizens with
keen sense OF personal grief. What
we have said already should be re-
peated here that Mr.. Blaine has had
perfect right to let his name be used in
connection with the presidency while
holding the Office OF secretary Of state
and nobody has pretended to doubt his
right except in the silly hope of pro-
ducing dlscord ia the republican party.
Gen. Harrison and Mr.. Blaine had no
misunderstanding on that subject"

A FULL EXPLANATION.
Gen. Palmer, Of the G. A. r.. on the Con-
fetlernte Flag Matter.

Gen. Palmer, of the G. A. r., on the Con-
fetlerate Flag Matter.
ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 10.-At the time
of the unwilling of the Grady monu-
ment here it was reported to Com
mander-in-chief Palmer that the Grand
Army post OF this city had marched in
the procession in which confederate
flags were carried. This brought out
an order from Gen. Palmer in which he
commanded that hereafter G. A. l.
organizations should not take part in
such parades.
In reply to this the boys Of that post
met and sent communication in which
they declared that, while they had no
apology to make for their action. they
would have preferred that the flag had
not been carried as it was inappropri-
ate to the occasion and gave opportun-
ity for the creation of expressions OF
ill-feeling over dead issues.
Gen. Palmer's reply to this was read
before the post on Saturday night He
reiterated his former position, and said:
IA rebel uniform in any loyal CITY!
1t is simply adding insult to injury. He
has as much right to bear the traitors
flag through the streets OF loyal city
as to wear the traitors garb 1t is
against the terms OF surrender and an
act Of hostility against the government
of the United States. do notquestion
your right us citizens to mingle and
fraternize with the men against whom
you fought believe that the gallantry
of the two armies should ever be the
pride of the American people. The
Grand Army of the Republic has in
vIted determination, but it has never
agreed, never consented, and never will,
that its members wearing the badge
and uniform of the order should
march under anything that has the
semblance of a confederate flag. As
the survivors of that grand army which
saved the union and the stars and
stripes from dishonor we recognize our
late foes in arms as brave and gallant
soldiers. We desire their success and
rejoice in their prosperity. We are a
united country and q united people,
and no flag should be carried that will
tend to arouse feeling Of animcsity
or revenge in the minds of tho young
generation of the south"

,Unruiy Indians Causing Grave Alarm In
New Mexlch

Unruly Indians Causing Grave Alnrm IN
New Mexicn
COOLIDGE, N. NJ, Feb. 11.-SeriOus
trouble has arisen between the Navajo
Indians and the cattlemen in the vicin-
ity of this place.
For some time past the renegade por-
ton of the Navajoes have been of
their reservation and killing cattle be-
longing to the ranchers in the country
surrounding Coolidge. The superin-
tendent of Bix's ranch and other cat
tlemen had an interview with Mariana,
the chief of the Navajoes and he prom
ised to keep his Indians off the cat
tie ranges and prevent any further
killing of cattle, but requested ten
days TO remove them. This was
granted him. Mariana. however. soon
returned and requested leave for his
Indians to go upon the cattlemen's
ranges in order to obtain supplies from
the trading stores ut Chavez station
and this was refused.
Yesterday the Indians were seen go
ing down the trail toward Chavez. A
band of cowboys met them and forced
them to turn back. This action
angered the Indians aud they inn
mediately assembled n bluff near by,
built fire signal and called on their
tribes for assistance. It was not long
before forty more Indians arrived on
the scene and presented warlike front
to the cowboys. As the latter were
outnumbered they did not precipitate .
fight and succeeded in pacifying the
Indians
The Indians claimed that the cow
boys had burned their camp on the
cattle ranges which they had been
forced to leave and swore that they
would obtain revenge. They then left
Chavez, going in the direction of the
San Antoine ranch, which is occupied
by O man named Coddington, and
which they threatened to burn. Harry
Cody, his mother and two men were
the only ones at the ranch when the
Indians arrived. and were greatly ter
rified when the latter. while riding by,
began yelling and shooting indiscrimi-
nately. No one was hurt The In
dams, apparently being satisfied with
what they had done, rode away.
Harry Cody at once mount
cd his pony and rode six
teen miles to Coolidge for assist
ance. In q verge short time fifteen
armed cowboys had started for the
ranch. arriving late at night All was
quiet when they reached there and
nothing more has been seen Of the In
dams.
The COWBOYS remained at the ranch
until noon yesterday when they were
relieved by Lieut.. Wallace, of troop H.
Second cavalry, and ten men from Fort
Wingate. The soldiers will remain
there as long us necessary to protect
the ranch and its inmates from any
hostilities on the part OF the Indians.
It is thought that the latter will return
to their reservation when they have
time to consider the folly Of their &C
ton.

MADRID, Feb. 1.-THE attempts
made by a number of prominent per-

death sentence passed upon the four
leaders OF the anarchists who led the
resent attack upon the town of Heres,
were without successful result, and,
accordingly, the prisoners were gar

the garrotes were fixed was in the plaza,
directly ia front of the Jail, in which
the condemned men were confined, and
the march from there to the place Of
execution was short.
Early this morning the final mass
was said, and shortly afterward the
prisoners, escorted by guards aud
priests, who, Us the marched before and
behind the condemned, read the pray.
ers for the dying, were taken to the
plaza. Here they assembled the plat
