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

winking toward Mckinley. There Is a. yet
no clear light ON the solution. Harrison
seems to have the most votes pledged,
Blaine is the most in the bush, and the town
is filled with Alger portraits, while Nc
Kinley is being held half way in the dark,
while the question is innocently put: How
would he run?" 1t is feared that the Nc
Kinley bill is too heavy saddle for him.
An extraordinary number of Republican
newspaper publishers are here, more or less
related to public printing, and their tune
this morning is: "How Blaine has injured
himself!'
Concert of the Anti -Blaineites.
A concert of press and ofice-holding
WORTHLESS, equal to the largest chorus Of a
burlesque opera, is going about striking the
note, "How Blaine has injured himself !
Don't YOU think SOP" To which reply,
maliciously: "You told me Blaine was not
candidate, and as not candidate, surely
he is not injured"
1t seems apparent that the Republican
complications are encouraging dark horses
for the Democratic race. William G.
Whitney, as compromise candidate to
carry New York, is good deal discussed.
Minneapolis keeps cool and complacent,
the rich men telling stories on each other.
Lowry and William Washburn are two of
them, of whom it is said that when super
intendent on the 500 Railroad, of which
they have been successive presidents, was
asked which made the best President, he
said: 'sNaythar of thin knows a dommed
thing about it, but Lowry, he knows he
don't but Washburn, he thinks he do"
Said Pillsbury, the miller, who has
rounded up life highly important to the
bakers of the world: 81 came to Minne-
apolis Just at the right time, when a revolu-
tion had taken place in milling. We had
substituted the French boiling system for
the old milestone at our mills. l suppose
that the burr stone or milestone has gone
out of the mill forever.
Brand New Men the Best.
sWe are now working on the Austrliaan
plan of rolling the -four, and thus twice
have I taken everything out of my mills
and remade them. We do not want to en-
ploy men who have been millers among the
millstones. We had rather take men who
never saw flour ground. The first lesson is
to forget all you ever knew about milling
If you remember anything of it you are not
q miller in these days"
Said to Mr. Pillsbury: 81 have not seen
the protection or tariff question mentioned
in this town"
why" said he, "one-halt the Repub-
lican party here is low tariff, to say the
least. Our Minnesota members voted
against the Mckinley tariff and were sent
back again. For myself. I regard the Nc
Kinley tariff as tariff run mad. We are
Republicans, however"
Strange sorts of people are seen here in
this new Stockholm making investments
Sol Smith Russell, the actor, who is thought
to make 81, 800 week the year round, drops
it into Minneapolis real estate; "Oliver
n.@i bo ~ hn~ OBJ has
out from Boston to this place, and still
writes books and keeps his eye on corner
lots.
A Good Anecdote of Mr.. Blaine.
Said Washington friend of Blaine, look
ing around upon the renegades to his cause
who were shedding crocodile tears and re-
GREETING that they were instructed for Har-
rison, having written the instructions them
selves: "Those fellows remind me of say
ing of Blaine's, some time ago, when he
was vilely traduced by certain man: L
do not know, said Blaine, why he hates
me- for have never done him favor,
I met one of the most eminent men of
California, Republican candidate there for
the highest nomination, who said: 'I have
been quoted as in favor of Harrison, and 1
believe he has been good President, but
he cannot carry one side OF California. He
promised US Cabinet Minister, between !
his nomination and election, and we gave |
out all over the State, and he made no effort |
to redeem his promise, but set afloat the |
story that there was strife in California, |
which was not fact. As we came up from |
St. Louis Yesterday" said this man, "the |
people were gathered al around the sta |
tions hurrahing for Blaine. When got to |
the West House, in Minneapolis, the lob |
bies were full, and an Indiana band and |
club entered, singing song for Harrison
and cheering for him and calling for cheers,
and not dozen persons outside of them |
were heard. As matter of compliment he |
may deserve the nomination, but they tell me |
that all of these States west of the Missis-
sippi are in doubt if he is nominated, while |
Blaine is q new quantity and gives us some |
hope.
The Worst Kind of Sarcasm.
"Mr. Harrison" continued he, '.has been
challenged many times to know who were
his friends, and we have found but one man
who alleges that he is friend, and that is
Attorney General Miller"
This gentleman wanted the Nicaragua
Canal approved by the platform, and said
that the silver question would have to be
'traddled in the platform.
One of the men here in much trouble
about how he shall vote is Judge Robertson,
formerly Collector of the Port of New
York, under Garfield and Arthur He has
been for Blaine every time, and to-day
Sheridan Shook said to him: Il am sorry
md 1 and few others who arranged to
.esist Grants nomination for third term,
n $780,"
Robertson did not speak, and looked dis
ressed.
Warner Miller came here to-day from St.
Louis, and while the Harrison men claim
,im, on the ground that George Sloane, of
)swego, is for Harrison, yet persons with |
Miller tell me that he is for Blaine, and
hat the big four will be two and two.
Quay is keeping dark, and Magee, while
troubled about Blaine's letter,
till thinks he will support Harrison.
Clinton Wheeler tells me that there was
10 admiration between Blaine and Elkins
.fter the campaign of 1884, when Blaine
deserved that the campaign had been run in
silly manner from headquarters This may
ccount for B. F. Jones being on the
Harrison side, who was Blaine's selection
or Chairman of the campaign.
Gath's Size-Up of tho Situation.
The fact of the situation seems to be that
lobody knows how many votes either Har-
ison or Blaine can get; conservative men
re talking about taking up third quan-
ity; some of the Blaine men are advocating
ausk for Vice President with him, as a
ecessity to carry the Northwestern and
gricultural States.
> The weather out here continues delicious.
Clarkson failed to get more than one of
he Iowa delegates for Blaine, and, it is
aid, will be turned off the National Com
nittee. I should say that the indications
t present are that Harrison has consider
bly, more than 200 votes, and Blaine near
