OHIO MEN DIFFER.
Democratic and Republican Views
of the Letter.


COLUMBUS, O., Feb. S.-The news
that Blaine had sent letter to Chair
man Clarkson declining to be candi-
date for the Republican nomination for
the presidency was interesting news
indeed to Ohio politicians, as well as
New York. The Democrats generally
seem to regard it as leaving the field
clear for Mr.. Harrison, and say it means
that the president will be nominated
again. The Sherman faction of the Re-
publicans are very much pleased over
the condition this leaves the work of
some of them think Alger will come
forward prominently now as candi-
date.
To the Foraker Republicans the news
was evidently unwelcome. Some OF
them said the letter 10 ClarksOn was
nothing more than would be expected
from Mr.. Blaine as all act of fealty TO
the administration, whether he would
accept the nomination or not. They say
this brief letter will be so regarded by
Mr.. Bfaine's friends who Will not close
their work in his behalf because of it.
Others of the Foraker factions say they
believe Mr.. Blaine is sincere ir<saytng
that ne does not want the nomination,
but think there is a popular demand fer,
him to be tile candidate, which he wiz
not ignore when it is made Manifest.
Nevertheless, lit is plain that the letter.
has put daInper upon the Foraker
Republicans, who were preparing to
take revenge upon the administrator
for the part it took in the recent sena-
torial contest in Ohio, by throwing their
influence to Blaine and thus defeating
Harrison. They doubt that Harrison
can be defeated for the nomination by
any other man.

and burded of national campaign. So
long as MIR. Blaine's candidacy was
matter of doubt. the consideration of
the presidential question by the Repub-
llean party was seriously embarrassed.
His final and definite withdrawal from
tue fight leaves the Republicans and
the convention at Minneapolis no Occa-
sion to ask: Is Blaine a candidate?
That question has been answered
once for all more than three months in
advance of the convention, thus giving
the people ample time to look over the
held and for the development of public
opinion.
The Times says: 1t had long been be-
lieyed, and the, letter shows the belief
was well founded, that all understanding
existed between Harrison and Blaine
touching the nomination of 1922. Hav-
ing conferred in himself the opposition
to Harrison, Blaine will bow him into
the Minneapolis nomination. The White
house management has been too Shrewd
for the favorite sons. 1t has caught
them all in the Blaine fly paper and left
them struggling hopelessly. The Min
neapolis nominee will be the present
tenant of the White house. Mr.. Blaine
was willing stalking horse.

Congressional Report Fayoring
Action With Canada.

WASHINGTON, Feb. San interest
ing report was today submitted to the
house, to accompany a resolution re-
ported by instruction of the committee
on foreign and interstate commerce, re-
Questing the president to negotiate with
Canada to secure the speedy improve
ment of the WeIland and st. Lawrence
canals so as TO make them conform in
depth to the standard adopted by the
United States for its improvements
within the great lakes. The report says
in part:
The recent development of the untold
resources of the great Northwest has
made the productions of that region not
only vital part OF our internal ccm-
merce, but the leading factor of our for
eign trade. To facilitate this internal
commerce congress has not heSitated to
vote appropriations by millions. Its ac-
ton Ill this behalf has met the country's
approval. The committee believe that
it is now equally important to take the
proper steps to secure deep water out
let for the foreign commerce original
ing in states tributary to the great lakes.

improving the Erie canal so as to admit

IDLE TO construct a deep-water canal
from Oswego to the Hudson is well
founded, but this would require many
years for its execution. and cost from
SAC, 100000 to Sl00, 000,O 900. Pending this
the committee thinks the great interests
involved should be served by other
means if available.
The report calls attention to the nat
ural outlet by way of the st. Lawrence
river, Which Canada has improved
by the construction of the Welland
and other canals, and demon
strates the Importance to this country
OF their common use by Canada and the
United States. If, says the report, the
canals were further deepened so as to
correspond with the $500 canal, Du-
luth, Milwaukee. Chicago, Cleveland
and Buffalo would enjoy ali the adj
vantage of seabOard cities with refer
ence to foreign trade.
The report in conclusion says: at ap-
pears to your committee that the pres
ent time is exceedingly opportune for
urging such action in behalf of the COM

ed that the representatives of the Cana
dian government will shortly arrive in

word : enterprise : flashed upon the
enthusiastic citizens who rendered
this banquet as fitting recognition of
Senator keller's merit as a citizen and
statesman, and this banquet evinced the
desire of every citizen to demonstrate
the fact. Senator Keller was born in

other enterprises, but always with the
interests of his own city at heart.
Elected to the state senate in 1880, he
was reelected as his own successor
without apparent opposition, and is now
being urged to represent this

OF cigars and coffee, began the speeches,
which aroused even greater enthusiasm
than the deliberately prepared and

arranged so all could take in every

Brother Dana, Among All, Is Dis
tinetly Silent.


New YORK, Feb, s.-Referring to the
withdrawal of,Secretary of State Blaine
from the candidates for the presidency,
the World says: The real leader de-
clines to lead. For second time in his
career James q. Blaine puts aside
presidential nomination that would
without question be his If he could ac-
cept.it. He is the strongest man, and
would be the strongest candidate of his
party. Growing his other services to
his country he has recently won a con-
spieuons victory for peace with honor
against the brutal buster of imitation
jingoism and the cold-blooded scheming
of selfish politicians.
The Times saya: Whatever other mo-
tives he may have had in making "this
announcement in due season." there is
notamuch room for doubt that his chief
and determining move was his convic-
ton that he could not be elected if he
were nominated and next to that his
opinion-possibly his hope-that Mr..
Harrison could not be elected either.
The Sun makes no comment.
