From Blafne,s Physician.

WASHINGTON. Dec 1.-THE following
statement is given to the United Press
10y Dr. w. W. johnson, physician of
Mr.. Blaine, with the approval of his
family:
Mr. Blaine has been suffering for some
time past with symptoms of impaired
health, but which did not clearly indicate
disease of any particular organ. Evi
dences OF local organic disease have been
manifested recently and it is believed
that his present condition is due to this
cause. While there is nothing is the ma
ture of this disease to warrant the fear OF
any very rapid progress, he has shown
within month past more signs of seri-
Gus illness before. 1t is hoped that this
aggravation may pass off, but no positive
statement can now be made as to the
changes which may take place from day
to day. At the present moment he is
better than for week past.

He VIII Not Re-enter Politics.

WASHINGTON. Dec. II George G.
Tanner, confederate soldier and politi
cal follower Of Gen. Wade Hampton,
wrote to him and urged him to recon
slider his resolution refusing to again
enter South Carolina politics. He also
outlined several plans by which he be-

his enemies. To this letter Mr.. Tanner

Dear Mr.. Tanner-I am obliged to
you for your kind letter, which reached

sired me to do So l have settled my
accounts between the state and myself
and am perfectly satisfied with the re-
suit. l am rejoiced to know that the
affection of my old soldiers for me re-
mains unshaken in storm as in calm.

ridge, Of Kentucky, from the committee
on appropriations, reported the forti6ca-
tion appropriation bill, and it was placed
upon the calendar. He gave notice that
he would ask for its consideration on
January 5.
Mr. Otis, of Kansas. asked consent for
the passage of a resolution instructing
the committee on ways and means to re
port back at an early date bill impos
ing an income tax.
MIR Springer, of Illinois, objected.
On motion af Mr.. Anderson, of West
Virginia, a resolution was adopted, call.
ing on the secretary of the interior for q
statement showing the names of persons
who have resigned or been discharged
from the census bureau before and since
November 4. 1890.
The special order was called up being
the bill authorizing the secretary of the
treasury to settle the account stated be
tween the government and the state of
| Florida This measure being in com
mittee of the whole, Mr.. Bullock, of
Florida moved that the house resolve
itself into such committee for it's con-
| eidCidLiOu, OuC Al DuIiOWS, VI
| gan, proved a stumble. He demanded
a divisions and in house which ought
to be composed of 325 members, there
was vote by division of affirmative
and 2 negative.
Mr.. Burrows suggested that this was g
bill that involved the appropriation OF
half million dollars, raised the point
of no quorum and no quorum appear
ed, but MI Burrows relentcd and with.
drew his point, with the understanding
that no vote should be taken to day.
The effect of this agreement is thai
the bill will lose its privileged character
and will be relegated to the calendar.
No action was taken on the measure
and then Mr.. Meyer, of Louisiana, an
nounced the death of Senator Gibson,
of Louisiana, as a mark OF respect to hi
memory the house ad journed.

BARRY, Mimi, July 18th, '92.
EDITOR GREAT WEST:
do not wish to trespass on your
invaluable journal, especially at the
particular time, were it not to con-
tradict a false statement, published
in that lying journal known as the
Pioneer Press, in which it was pub
lished that, at the convention of the
Phelps Warren and Hompe crowd on
the 7th inst, Big Stone county was
represented by Schoelberg, Nash and
C. Neiil.
Icannot find words sufficient to ex-
press my contempt for such false con-
duct. There was never a caucus called
and be assured it's the last thing l
would ever think of to associate with
men who have left nothing undone in
their power to break up the party;
l am in favor as you might see by
the resolutions | presented at the
convention in Clinton which were
unanimously adopted. Also favor
the nomination OF Hon. l. Donnelly
for Gov. which | trust ere this reaches
your office will be accomplished by
the unanimous vote Of the cOnven-
ton.

MORRIS, July Z, '92.
EDITOR GREAT WEST:
The Peoples Party Institute met
with wonderful success at Morris,
July 9Th, and 7th. The territory
around Morris is the the stamping
ground OF Darlington Phelps and R.
j. Hall, members of the the old cam
paign committee. Stevens county is
fairly we'll organized in spite OF the
Phelps gang; but under existing cir
cumstances they felt rather obliged
to work on the quiet. There was
considerable anxiety displayed on
the part OF loyal members as to the
result OF an institute in this particu-
lar locality.
DR.. Fish went to Omaha to the Ma
tional Convention and was unable to
return in time, SO he sent Johnson,
Stewart, and Glasby to meet the ap-
pointmcnt and do what they could.
Through some local misunderstand-
ing Mr.. Donnelly had been advertised
to be present and take part as prin-
cipal speaker with Fish his assistant.
Imagine the surprise and disgust OF
the Morris people, to find three boys
had arrived instead OF Donnelly and
Fish to conduct the institute. They
even questioned the policy of hold
ing an institute at all. But the
Kids went to work in their usual
business-like manner, and decorated
the spacious court house hall. 1t
was pretty we'll circulated before
time for the first session. that Don
nelly would not be present, or Fish
either for that matter. But instead
of this fact having tendency to
diminish the attendance, the hall
was crowded both evenings, and dur
ing both the day sessions there was
an exceedingly large attendance. 1t
was a caution to listen to the power
full and convincing analysis OF the
sub-treasury, national bank issue,
land loan scheme and the other is
sues, so intelligently handled by
Stewart and Johnson. The singing
by Glasby and Johnson was also
we'll appreciated. In fact many oil
the leading alliance men, admitting
that they we're completely dis
couraged when the force first arrived
declared that they believed the In
stitute was a greater success than it
would have been had Fish and Don.
nelly both been present. Hurrah fol-
