Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-06-05

Senators, who have signed themselves out
of the contest, are approaching Minneapolis
to see If the goose will not jump their way.
Broken.down politicians, whose ambition
has been too INSCRIPTIONS, are trying to
resuscitate themselves by the confusion OF
this contest.
Here comes Warner Miller, an ambitious
man, as are all who have either been school
teachers, with dislike of Harrison, who
has never recognized him; dislike OF
Platt, who has opposed him, and refracted
amended views of Blaine, to whose stature
he has approximated. What will he do
will he take Blaine for what remains of his
expectations, or advocate third man, like
Sherman?
Meantime, the silver question is coming
up here. "a large proportion of the Re-
publicans west of the Missouri look upon

The Mauufa cturers Very Quiet.
One element which is especially quiet at
this convention is the manufacturers Some
say that our manufacturers are quite secure
in their extensive plant, thorough skill,
distance, etc The principal job in this
country is to sell the goods after they are
made, and it is hardly believed that for
elgners can drum up the towns and cities
like those who know the country. The sur
plus has been spent, and fairly strong du-
ties must maintain the revenue. Besides
the sale of American properties to En-
glishmen has had modifying spirit
on the tariff. The Englishman is
not not so desirous to uproot the manufac-
tories he partly owns The American is
now working to make dividends for his
Englishmen. Here are Washburn and Pills
bury and others who sold their fourmills to
general syndicate, chiefly British. The
Briton, it would seem, has made up his
mind that changes in this country are not
very probable. At any rate, have not
seen anything about the manufacturers e1-
cept q sign in the rear Of the convention
hall, which expresses the old Harrison and
Henry Clay doctrine.
Seeing Mr.. Boardman, the President of
the fark OODfuiSSlOu, Ot mlunooPoii0,
wearing Blaine badge, said: SIS that
your color?"
Maine Men Of Minnesota.
"Well," said he, 'I come from Maine, as
did great many in these partst If Blaine
were nominated the effect would be salutary
upon ourselves. Ths government Of Min
neapolis is now Democratic. The Legisla-
ture is controlled by the Alliance and the
Democrats together. Blaine's nomination
would undoubtedly win in Minnesota, send
Cush Davis back to the Senate, give US the
Legislature and turn the city over to uA
That is why an, for Blaine. We need the
use of his name for our local enda"
Said Mr.. Boardman: '.It would be a great
help to US in the Northwest to have Jerry
Rusk behind Blaine on the ticket Rusk
came up on q threshing machine, wherever
the farmers are and does his hours work.
He is typical of the country, q good-natured
fellow, and Blaine and Rusk would capti-
vate this region, and be good politics un-
questionably." i,
If Alger Is being worked to run behind
Blaine, of course Mr.. Rusk cannot thresh
out his days work.
