interview here today declared that the
force of general sentiment would result in
Blaine's nomination.
New YORK, May Ex-senator Pettigrew
of South Dakota, was at the Fifth avenue
hotel last evening and had an earnest con-
Versation with ex-senator Platt. Later, in
response TO a reporter, he said: 'It is true
South Dakota instructed for Harrison, but
this was done with the understanding that
Blaine was not a candidate. South Dakota
is unquestionably a Blaine state. HE
would poll more votes tomorrow than any
candidate that could be nominated.
Blaine is the only republican who could
carry Montana"
Couldn't Harrison carry Montana ?"
asked the reporter.
"Carry Montana! He couldn't carry one
corner Of it, /" remarked Pettigrew He de-
clined to say whether the South Dakota
delegation would consider themselves re-
leased from the instructions in case of
Blaine's acceptance.
Senator HiscOck, who was seen later, de
clares that he was still for Harrison, and
had yet to hear of an authoritative state
ment of Blaine as a candidate
WASHINGTON CITY, May 26.-The position
fought out in the Minneapolis convention
was today outlined by one of his staunch-
est supporters and man who has hereto
fore been in charge of the republican cam
paign. The gentleman stated today that
the president does not fear that the cOnYen-
ton will nominate Blaine. "The danger
lies" he said, "in the fear that the pro
gramme planned by the opponents of the
president will be carried out" AS the pro-
gramme now stands it contemplates attacks
upon Harrison by such men as Platt, Fas-
sett, Wolcott, Teller and other influential
delegates.
NEW YORK, May 26.-C Congressman His
cock visited Secretary Blaine today and
subsequently said: blaine will accept if
nominated, and l am sure he will be nOmi-
mated. He will write no more letters Of

as I expected to find him, he is improving
daily. / am satisfied he is strong enough
to undergo the presidential campaign"

noon paper from Washington quoted ] S.
Clarkson, chairman of the republican ma

An old Pioneer nend.

PORT TOWNSEND, May 26.-Captain J H.
Swift, an old settler on WILDLY island,
died at his residence at Coupeville on Mon
day, the 23d inst. Captain Swift was avery
successful whaling captain and made some
of the most profitable voyages in the Arctic
ocean on record in the ship Brutus. of War
rem, r. l., in 1850, and in the bark Anadir,
of New Bedford, in 1853. Captain Swift re-
tired from ocean life about 1858, and shortly
afterward came to Puget Sound, where he
located on his fine farm on Penn's Cove.
Captain Swift was one of the first pilot
commissioners for Puget Sound from 1868
to 1884, at which time the old law was re-
pealed. Captain Swift has for several years
been suffering from paralysis, and at last
has succumbed to the disease. He was,
when in his prime, the beau ideal of the
old-time navigator and explorer, man of
fine presence, fearless and undaunted in
the cause of right.
