ing as follows:


Fremont and Dayton, 1856 Blaine and
Alger, Minneapolis, 1892.
Ihe Republican party and people de-
mand the nomination of Mr. Blaine, be-
cause he commands the confidence and ad-
Iniration or our entire people in a greater
oegree Than does any other living American
because the cardinal principles of the
Republican party, Reciprocity which he
originated, and Protection the unyield-
ing champion Of which he has been for
more than quarter of a century, would be
best administered in his hands.
Because he believes in international sep
aration and enforcement of church and
schools.
because he can carry all the silver states
without pledge or doubt.
because he can bring back 60 the repub-
l1can fold hundreds of thousands of farmers
VINO have been drifting from their moor
ings.
because large number of thoughtful,
conservative democrats, who understand
and appreciate Mr.. Blaine's great ideas as
TO reciprocity and protection, and who
most earnestly commend and enforce his
views as to the rights and duties of Amer
lean citizenship will cast their votes for him
| this year.
Because a great majority of the Re-
publican party believe that one term in the
presidential chair is honor enough for any
man. and that this policy should be adhered
TO except in cases of great emergency of
national danger, which do not exist at this
| time.
Because Mr.. Blaine most keenly
! realizes the necessity for the enactment of
legislation and Judicious enforcement of
laws that will secure to the enfranchsed
colored men of the south their constitu-
tional rights to cast one ballot at every
| election and have that ballot honestly
counted"
On the reverse side of this circular is
printed in full the famous speech of Robert
g. 1ngersoll in nominating Mr.. Blaine six
teen years ago. This circular was sub
mitted to Gen. Alger last night before we
left Detroit" said Col. Gavotte, land it
| met his approval. That is all
can say as to Gen. Ager's
position. think it is sufficient" The
delegates who are not for Blaine are maxi
ing good use of his letter of declination.
They accept it at its face and say they be-
lieve Mr.. Blaine intended and still intends
it to be final. and they intend it shall be
final as tar as they are concerned.
BLAINE HELPS HIS CAUSE.
A press dispatch from Washington stat
ing that Secretary Blaine had informed
representative Of the Associated Press that
he would write no more letters and make no
further announcements prior to the cOnven-
ton was received with rejoicings by the
Blaine men this evening, and they declare
now that nothing can prevent
his nomination. Indeed, the general
effect Of this announcement of the Secretary
OF State has been to add enthusiasm to the
Blaine movement and inspire the boomers
with increased confidence. Chairman
Clarkson was standing in the doorway of
the West hotel talking to an Associated
Press reporter when he received the message
saying that Mr.. Blaine had stated to the
Associated Press that he would write no
more letters about the presidency.
when was 1t sentp said he.
''This afternoon
"And what do you think its effect will
be-" was the response query put to Mr.
Clarkson.
~ think it will nominate him, ," Mr.. Clark
son replied very promptly. THAT is my
opinion. We think we are going to nomi-
nate him."
"WilI anybody nominate Mr.. Blaine, and
II SO, whow was asked.
II do not suppose he will be formally
placed IN nomination, but cannot tell now
what course may be decided upon There
is no organized effort in any way for Mr..
Blaine. No one is organizing the movement
but it springs from the American people,
who are urging him"
MEETING OF THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
The republican national committee will
begin its session tomorrow morning On
it falls the work Of arranging all the details
for the conduct Of the convention. To-
morrow the work Of making up the roll
will begin. II is the duty of the national
committee to make up the temporary roll
| convention. The roll OF delegates will
then be called and where seats are
contested each delegate will be given a
hearing. There are more contests this year
than ever BEFORE In more than eighty
cases two persons are fighting for the same
seats. The south furnishes by far the largest
number Of these disputes. In some Of them
tie seats of entire state delegations are
at issue The most bitter north
ern contest comes from the
Fort Wayne Ind.) district, where Mr..
Mcdonald. a Blaine man, declares that the
Harrison delegates were not elected. He
will be here to make a contest with 200 fol-
lowers to back it up. From the District of
Columbia Perry Carson and Andy Gleason
have on fight with Calvin Chase and Si@
mon Wolf. II these men were not contest-
ants the old tuners would think something
was wrong.
THE PLATFORM.
The platform in which the Republican
party will present to the country the issues
on which it appeals to the voters for their
suffrage in favor of the Standard
bearer to be selected by the con-
vention, is a subject Of earnest con-
sideration among the leaders who have
arrived at Minneapolis. Many of them be-
lieve the platform as important as the nam-
ing of the man to head the ticket. On the
platform there is substantial unanimity ex-
cept as to two or three planks. The silver
plank is cne which will receive most careful
consideration to meet the divergent
views prevailing in the different sec-
tions, and the precise extent to which
declarations shall be made relative
to federal elections is also a matter on
which the delegates differ. A number of
the most important men now here, includ-
ing many delegates who are likely to be
chosen to represent their states on the COM
mittes on resolutions. have been consulted
by representatives of the Associated Press
and as result the principal feature of the
platform can now be given. Its key note
will be American throughout and in
everything.
BLAINE HAS NO MORE LETTERS.
