Great Excitement Caused by the Announce
ment of the Secretary of States Unex-
pacted Resignation From the Cabinet
What People Think About Ii.


pected Resignation From the Cabinet
What People Think About II.
The announcement of Blaiue's resignation
from the Cabinet caused lots of talk in Pitts
burg yesterday afternoon and evening, anC
this is what some of the people said about it
Delinquent Tax Collector Ford-Mr
Blaine's resignation puts the Secretary fairly
in the race for the Presidential nomination
] .hink Blaine will be nominated, and
look upon his nomination as decidedly unfor
foatunate for the Republican party. The
people OF this country will submit to no jug
gli:c with the Presidential Office.
Major Al. LoGan-Mr. Blaine is now in the
field FOR the nomination, and it looks as
though no power could stop him. The grea,
Secretary is a great man. however. He is
1ull of surprises, and before the convention
meets he may demonstrate that his resigna
mon from the Cabinet is his first step toward
retirement from public life.
W. II. Kcech, a prominent member of and
q leader in the Americus Club-Mr. Blaine S
resignation from the Cabinet can mean but
one thing. He is a candidate for the Presi-
dental nomination, and after forcing himself
into the fight at this time lie should be
defeated. Mr.. Blaine's getting into the way
OF his chief lust at this time is base ngIati-
tude and will not be approved by the people
OF the country
Can Mean Only One Thing.
colonel Hudson. of the supply department
OF the rittsburg Postofice-Blaine's resigna-
tion from the Cabinet can, in my Judgment,
mean only that Mr. Blaine is a candidate for
President against all comers.- 1t also MEANS
in my Judgment, that Mr.. Blaine will be
nominated. l think that either Cleveland
or Campbell can beat Blaine if he is nomi-
mated.
j. NJ. Guffey, the Democratic politician
Mr. Blaihe's action, must confess, is some
what of a surprise. did not believe that
Mr Blaine would make an open Dlu Tor the
place, but his retirement from the Cabinet
means only his candidacy for the nomina-
Tion. If Mr.. Blaine is nominated L think the
Democrats will insist on the nomination OF
Grover Cleveland, and we will have the
battle of eight years ago over again. Politics
aside think Mr.. Blaine is q strong man and
l predict now that he will carry our own
State by the largest maj ority ever given to a
candidate, of course that will not win him
the fight and as Democrat l say we will
elect the next President whether Blaine or
Harrison Is the Republican candidate"
VIII BE the Next President.
DR.. c. C. Evans-Blaines resignation from
the Cabinet means President Blaine That's
tie only meaning can take out of the Sec
retary's withdrawal from the Presidents po-
litical family at this time. The people have
forced Mr. Blaine to be their candidate. His
wonderful ability has secured for him the
applause OF all the people and he is forced
10 become the candidate of his
party because he is larger
and stronger man than any of those named
Tor the place. No charge of ingratitude can
rest against Mr.. Blaine. He is the man for
the occasion. He is Il great man and it is
great occasion and his candidacy will make
no wounds or sore places. tell you Mr..
Quay and Mr.. Clarkson are old Republic.
ans. Politics is their business and
when for weeks they have been saying
that Blaine would be nominated i just
blndly submitted and decided to await for
some surprise. The surprise is upon IN
the form of the resignati from the Cabinet
and ! think the nomination for the Presi-
dency will follow promptly.
jury Commissioner Mullen-Mr. Bla1ne's
resignation is a long step toward the Presi-
dental nomination. MI. Blaine has tricked
the President. That's all there is in it.
County Detective Beltzhoover-M Mr..
means his nomination for the Presidency.
II also means that the Democrats must
nominate David B. Hill if they hope to
elect.
Democratic View of 1t.
W. ]. Bremen, Chairman of the Demo
cratic County Committee-Mr. Blaine is now
in the contest for the nomination. To es-
cape being called an migrate MIR. Blaine
should probably have withdrawn from the
Cabinet several months ago. As it is now it
looks like a fight between Harrison and
Blaine, with the chances in favor of
Harrison. Here in Pittsburg we know of no
other candidate than Blaine, but there
are n great many other States that will have
a voice in the nomination, and, IL mistake
out OF the Cabinet will excite such
bitter feeling that the States outside of
Pennsylvania Will hesitate before making
nm their candidate. As things appear now
Blaine would seem to have much the best OF
II, but look out for surprises before the con-
TentlOn meets. Harrison will not get out of |
the way until he is defeated.
District Attorney Burleigh-Mr. Blaine is
now a full fiedged candidate for President |
HIS Withdrawing from the Cabinet means |
thatand nothing else.
J. Rhodes Miller-Blaine is the man among |
all men for the position, and he will get |
there by large ajority. |
Only Few of Them Left.
John NJ. Andrews-As Frank Daniels saws, |
There is only few of them left" and |
Blaine is the Drainiest of the lot He is nv |
choice of all candidates. and / predict his |
election, and he will be the President in |
isct He Is thorough American; that is |
why l admire him.
Colonel w. ii. Reed-When it comes time |
for the nominations some well-known ora |
tor care not where from, will rise and in a |
fowery speech recite the history OF the |
lllustrlous Harrison family and will wind |
up with stirring review of the present ad-
of President Benjamin Harri-
son, which will he received with great ap-
plauSe. Then someone else will get up
and read a letter from benjamin Har-
1lson declining to allow his name

repeat it, the convention, will
rise as one man and nominate Blaine bv ac-
and we will elect him next
November.
Ext nited States District Judge Reed
There Is a very strong Blaine sentiment |
here, but as / am not in politics do not care
10 express an opinion.
County Register ;. P. Conner-That means
he will be nominated and will be elected
sure.
Captain W. A. Doak-He might get the
but l don't think he can be
elected.
The Hand of Matthew Stanley QUAY.

it show the fine hand of Matthew Stanley
Quay? There is a great general, / tell you
