RLlINE's DyFGAT.

The National Republican Convention at Minneapolis has absorbed the atten- ton of the country this week to the exclusion of any othsr topic or event The excitement which followed the an- nouneemsnt of Blaine resignation from the Cabinet showed no abatemCnti in fact it grow in intensity until his name was formally presented as candidate before the convention, by Wolcott, of Colorado, when the excitement found expression in q storm of applause which drowned out the band and continued for almost half an hour,
 Everything connected with the Blaine boom has been in harmony with his reputation ard meihods-sensational Brilliant, impetuous. It seems from the meagre information at hand, that the movement had been carefully planned by his political cohorts; tho mine had been laid to explode on the eve of the convention when the politi- cal atmosphere was apparently serene, The effect was electrical as anticipa- ted, but the Blaine managers had syi- dently undsrestimated the force of the rscoil which would follow his uuex- pected entry into the Presidential raco after having formally declared that he would not be Q candidate. Had that fatsful letter never been written Blaine would have been the unanimous choice of the Republicans as their standard bearer.
 Whether Blame is the victim of his too ardent frierdl, or the step was deliberately taken, inc suspicion of duplicity and bad fuith to Harrison was inevitable and no doubt brought tC the support of the President many del sgates whose sense of honor outweigheG their prsdilsction for Blaine. There il no reason to doubt that Harrison vii receive the almost unanimous support of his party, although in the West b, is not popular on account of his oppo sition to the free coinage of silver

MINERAL FoUNp In cARRlaO MOUNTAINS,

great doal of interest is being man ifssted throughout the country in re- gard to tho CarTizo mountains and as to whether mineral will be found there or not. We want to say for the benefit of our readers that mineral was discov- cred in the mountains by the commis- sionsrs on the 2Gth of May, and five sacks of the ore passed through Gallup Monday, May 3Oth, in charge Of a courier who was taking it to Fort Win gate from which placsit will be shipped to Washington
 The expedition reached the Carrizo mountains on the evening of May 18th and went into camp. On the 2Oth of May, Chiefs Blackhorse and Manuelito and their followers came into camp for the purpose of holding council with Gen. McCook in regard to the noun tains, which lasted from the goth to the morning of tho 24th
 At the council between the Indians and the commissioners It was ascer- tainod that the Carrizo mountains are a place of worship, which will probably be the greatest objection the Indians have in parting with the mountains, and the hardest to overcome
 Up to the 28d of May, the prospec- tors had discovered no mineral, but on that day they left for B trip on the opposite side of the mountains from where they have been prospecting, and on the 26th returned to camp with min- eral An assay of the ore was made on the 27th and tho results were beyond expectations, and courier was imme- diately started ont having dispatches for Washington and also taking five sacks of the ora for shipment
