WASHINGTON, May 2f-In speaking of his /
eye trouble before ho left, Secretary Blaine
said; 81 never knew until I was sixty years
old that / had such an organ as the eye,
judging from any unusual feeling there.
But of late my eyes have been troubling |
me and 1 have felt constrained to take adj /
vice as to their treatment"
With reference TO tho movement looking /
20 the defeat of President Harrison for re- /
nomination at the Minneapolis convention /
10y the use of the name of Secretary Blaine /
while no direct, authoritative statement /.
has been made by the secretary himself it
may be said, upon the authority of close
friend of Mr. Blaine's, that he stands by the
statement contained in his letter to Chair
man Clarzson, of last February. He does
not desire TO have his name presented to
tho convention for the nomination, and
within day or two past has emphatically
stated that he would not be nominated.
A close friend and admirer of President
Harrison speaking of the efforts being made
by the antagonists of the president to de
feat his nomination 10y the use of the name
of Secretary Blaine said: "The movement
has nothing honest nor sincere in it. None
of the gentlomon whose names are prom
inently connected with the movement were
recognized as particular friends of the socre.
tary when he was candidate for the pres
idency eight years ago. On the other hand
men who are known TO be his warm ad-
mirers and staunch supporters, such as
/ Whitelaw Reid, of the New York Tribune,
] Charles Emory Smith, of the Philadelphia
/ Press; s. H. Jones, of pittsburg chairman
/ of the national committee in 1Ssi; Joseph
Manley, of Augusta, Ne, are an satisfied &c
take Mr. Blaine at his word, and unite in ex,
pressing their belief that he IS not a candi
date and win not be under any circum
. stances.
The Alleged object Of the Boom.
'The object OF the movement is perfectly
plain. These gentlemen do not have the re
motest expectation that Secretary Blaine
would accept the nomination even If it were
rendered to him. They would be the most
surprised and disgusted lot of politicians in
the country if that were TO be the result OF
their Vaccinations. What they have in
view and what is the substance of the whole
movement is the nomination of General Al
ger. They know that when Secretary Blaine
has been nominated and has declined that
, General Alger is probably the only man Of
prominence who would accept the nomina
tion. Hence II would be rendered TO hin
p by acclamation. This is a reasonable expla
nation, at least, of what Mr.. Clarlzson meant
! when he said in New York the other da,
s that he had candidate for the nomination
s whose name had been mentioned, but VIII,
q was neither Blaine, Mckinley nor Shor
