MERE SPEoULATloNs.

Secretary BLAINE told an Associated
Press reporter this afternoon that he
would write no more communications re-
garding the presidential nomination" This
is q dispatch which came over the wires
from Washington yesterday. and 1t is un-
doubtedly reliable. MIR. BLAINE, there
fore, may be regarded as being Sin the
hands of his friends" There should be no
occasion for any further writing or utter
ances on his part. His letter to Chairman
CLARKsoN last month was plain and en-
phatic that he was not candidate for the
nomination and did not desire that his
name should be presented to the conven-
ton. We believe that at the time the sec
rotary of state wrote the letter he ex-
pressed his wishes in the premises, and
that he wanted to be taken at his word !;
but the bosses who do not like HARRISON
would not have it that way, and they have
gone on trying to create the impression
that the popular cry was for BLAINE.
This has been done, not with the
expectation of nominating the man from
Maine, but in the hope of playing his name
against the president until the latter
should be beaten for denomination, when
the opposing forces could be concentrated
on a third candidate. The indications are
that CLARKsoN and his crowd will be sue
cessful; that HARRISON will be defeated
by the forces held ostensibly by BLAINE,
and that the latter viii be withdra wn
simultaneously with the white plumed
gentleman who, as a matter of fact, has
never been in the race, although the poll
ticians are posing him as one Of the entries.
Or course this is all mere speculation
based upon what seems to be fair view of
the situation. Only those who want to
create the impression that HARRISON is safe
will pretend to say that the president has
enough delegates to nominate him, whilst
it is clear that BLAINE cannot be nom
mated except by q disregard of
instructions and the known wishes of
their constituents by many delegates The
animosity between the BLAINE and HARRI-
SON adherents is so intense, made SO inten-
tionally by their respective managers, that
1t is unlikely that the forces of either can
ever be induced to go to the other. Hence,
is it not the natural presumption that
neither Mr.. HARRISON nor Mr.. BLAINE will
be the nominee this yearl Today it looks
to US SIS if another would draw forth the
excavations of his party by leading it down
to defeat in November

DESPERATE TUsCARORAs.

1t is desperate struggle which the Tus-
carora Republican delegates are making
for recognition as Republicans in the Min
neapolis convention. Among other things,
they have had printed and sent to dele
gates throughout the Union circular
letter addressed dear sir'' and signed
CHARLES S. VARIAN, chairman: w. G.
VAN HORNE, Secretary, Territorial Re-
publican Committee" The circular is a
vicious assault upon the Mormon people
who are charged with rank disloyalty to
the government. 1t denounces the dis
bandment Of the Peoples party and the
division of the former members on national
party lines as being 'clear that it was in
tended by the division to make both the old
parties mere tools 10 build up and make i'm
pregnable the political domination of the
Mormon church, 1t is said in the PEOPLES
party there had not been forty scratched
votes in forty years. and that 1.-THE change

changed their endowment robesr The
chairman claims that while in this terri
tory the members of his party have
not acted as Republicans, but ahaye
worked side by side and heart to hearth
with Democrats in local affairs, sin ma.
tional affairs they have maintained dis

on. Now, "the real Republicans (which

ticesn. have chosen delegates to the Min

secretary task you to stand by our dele
gates. and to help to cause them to receive
recognition in the national convention. y
The circular closes thus:
Should they fail to receive that recognition
il would be a notice served on every American
Of Utah that the great Republican party holds
it of more concern to try to conciliate bsffled
foe or to struggle for a possible partisan ad-
vantage, than to declare for the right and to
vindicate sacred principle.
The California delegates who passed
through the city on Thursday evening
were supplied with these desperate ap
peals. but from the circumstance that the
gentlemen passed the letters over to local
divisionist Republicans with Significant re-
marks. it may be imagined that the situa-
ton was fully understood by the gentle
men from the other side of the range
In addition TO this letter it is learned that

An ITEM is telegraphed to the eastern
papers from Berlin, having a considerable
bearing OF the American sugar trusts in
iuence upon prices. Last year s., 679, S99
worth of sugar was exported to America
from the consular jurisdiction of Berlin,
including the two great sugar centers,
Hamburg and Madgeburg. During the
quarter Of this year not one pound of sugar
was exported. One hundred thousand tons
of raw sugar are stored at Hamburg, an
equal amount is held ct Lubbock, Stettin,
and in the manufacturing districts. The
German merchants and producers wish to
sell, but no buyer appears. The American
sugar trust is purposely keeping away
from the German markets in order to
''bear" the raw products.

and wants to be 30 understood. Tammsny

CROKER says 1t will do. If CLEVELAND

will be expected from Tsmmany as from
the element which has just entered its
protest against the snap convention of last
winter
The HERALD has never entertained the
fear which some have confessed, that the
New York Democracy would permit their
internal iealousies and dislikes of men to
give that great state 10 the enemy. We
have felt that whilst Democrats there dis
agreed among themselves. they were never
theless all Democrats and would all be
loyal to the party, as they were last year,
when they gave the party ticket $4,000
majority.
Nobody can say this far in advance who
will be nominated at Chicago. The indi-
cations point to CLEVELAND as the man,
yet Mr. Hill may be chosen, or BoIEs. or
CARLISLE, or GoRMAE, or GRAY or any one
OF q score or more of able, true and tried
Democrats who might be mentioned. But
whoever may be the choice it may be &C.

will be as enthusiastic and loyal in New
York as in any state of the Union; and with
margin of $4,000 majority to tart with,
there will not be much doubt as to how the

the Tuscarora Republicans have been as
sessing themselves heavily to pay the tolls
on long kilograms to Minneapolis delegates,
denouncing the division movement and
begging for the recognition of the Liberal
delegates who want to pose one day in four
ears as Republicans.

guessed ct, but the desperation Of the Tus-
carora fellows suggests that they do not
more than half expect to succeed. In fact,
it looks as If they were reasonably certain

record. They will be mad, as matter of
course, when they are refused admission

POLITICAL QUERIES.
appointed.

FOUNTAIN GREEN, May 81, 1892
To the Editor Of THE HERALD:
Kindly answer through THE HERALD the fol-
lowing queries, and oblige:
1. The popular vote in 1888 for President was
$3.50, 524 Democratic, 544l, 923 Republican; while
the electoral vote was 65 Republican majority.
would like to know how the electoral vote can
be more than the popular vote? How is the
popular vote ascertained?
2. What results did the intended Force bill
suppose mainly TO effect?
3. What number of people (population) is a
Representative supposed to represent?
1.-The Presidents chosen by electors
who have been elected by the votes of the
people, each state being entitled to as many
electors as it has Representative and Sen
ators in Congress. Thus, in the next cleo
toral college there will be 444 votes appor-
toned among the states according to the
representation in Congress. The popular
vote is the vote cast for electors, and the
electoral vote is the vote cast by the cleo
tors.
1.-THE HERALD has many times printed q
statement of the main features of the Force
bill, one of the occasions being last Sunday.
In brief. the purpose of the bill was 10
place the conduct, supervision and control
OF elections in the hands of the federal
government.
3-There is no law governing the matter
of the number of people entitled to Repre-
sentative in Congress. After national
census Congress passes law declaring the
number of Representatives which shall
constitute succeeding Congresses, and APP
portioning them among the several states
according TO population. The Congress to
be chosen next November will contain 356
members, and as the census showed popu-
alton of $685., $50 the basis of representa-
ton would be about IT'S, 900.

THE PLAN for a National Columbian Pub
lie School celebration has been approved by
superintendents in national convention,
hundreds of our most influential newspa-

and far more important than these

public schools themselves. The spirit dis
played by these little men and women of

that they will carry out their part of the
programme OF Columbus Day in a manner
which will reflect credit upon themselves
