\ large number of counties in New York
held elections ON Tuesday for the choice
of supervisors, and the result is nothing
less than startling to the Democrats who
acquiesced in Hills theft of the legislature.
At the very first opportunity the people
have shown what they think of the bold
and desperate crimes against the ballot
box which they have seen perpetrated the
present winter. In nearly every county
large Republican gains were made, and in
no case were they defeated. In several in
stances the change amounts to local po-
litical revolution. For illustration, the
next board of supervisors of Onondaga
will be Overwhelmingly Republican, The
present board stands Republicans II, Dem
ocrats Ii. OF the 10 towns which voted
on Tuesday the Republicans carried all
but IA gain of $ over last year. The
next board of supervisors of Tioga will
contain 9 Republicans and l Democrat.
The present board contains 6 Republicans
and / Democrats. The next common
council of Binghamton will contain 10 Re
publicans and Democrats. The present
council contains } Republicans and S
Democrats. In the same city the Repub-
licans have elected o of their 13 candidates
for supervisors. In a dozen other counties
the Democrats have been as badly beaten.
This is the answer of the people to Hills
theft of the state senate. 1t forms a sig
nficant, and, for the Republicans, a very
cheering opening of the presidential cam
paign of 1892

clear the field for Gen. Harrison. He has
given the country an admirable administra-
ton, and he is amply entitled to the great
advantage of position which he thus Sc
cures. Those who are most reluctant to
lose the satisfaction of voting for Mr.
Blaine will cordially acknowledge that the
President deserves the undivided conf
dence of the party, and that he has made
the election of Republican successor the
most encouraging probability of the pres
ent year. And in common with all loval
memtlers of the party, they will be apt to
reason that the probability can be most Sc
curely confirmed by his nomination to sue
ceed himself, The party has put great
and beneticent policies in operation during
the last three years, and the welfare and
content which they have produced are the
most conspicuous features of the time:
but the country does not yet enjoy the full
measure of prosperity which they are ca
pable of engendering. The people, we be-
lieve, will insist upon their further devel-
opment under the care of the party which
has created and promoted them. 1t is for
the party to decide upon the individuals to
whom this continuing honor and oppor-
tunity shall be entrusted. That the decis-
ion will be wise we have no doubt. That
it will be rendered in favor of Gen. Harri-
son is today the most natural expectation.

called upon. He first set the tables in a

and then passed on to a serious discussion

His address was one of the gems of the
evening.

audience in his treatment of the tariff

iasm The mention of President Harrison
was likewise received with great demon
stratOns of approval.
Frequent reference was made to the
great name of Lincoln, whose anniversary
will be recognized at the regular league
convention today. Nearly every speaker
referred to the young men as the essential
element of the Republican party, and to the
necessityof bringing them to the front. Sen
ator Proctor also emphasized this in letter
which was read Letters from senator
Morrill,, ex-senator Edmunds and others
were also read Delegates have been ar
irving all day, and it is probable that there
will be 400 or 800 at the convention. Sev-

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Press declares in the most posi-
tive way that Mr.. Blaine's Withdrawal of
his name from the presidential contest will
be- followed after a short interval by his
resignation of his cabinet portfolio. "The
reason which Secretary Blaine will give to
the President for retiring from the cabinet
will be that of physical inability to contin-
Tie to perform the arduous and eNacting
duties of his present Office. This is, in fact,
the true reason for Mr. Blainc's dctcrnin-
alton to withdraw entirely from official life.
Other motives may, and doubtless will, bc
assigned by his critics for his action, but il
will really be based upon his precarous
health This has been followed in its turn
10y positive denial that Mr., Blaine means
10 resign.

The Issues OVer>hadOW the Men.
From the New York Press

Nothing but Mr.. Blaines own action
could have taken him out of the line of the
presidential nomination. His withdrawal
will inspire renewed recognition of the
strength of the sterling and Sagacious Pres
idcnt whose administration has been con-
spicuously successful in every problem of
craftsmanship, and who stands unfinch-
ingly for protection, sound currency and
the maintenance of American honor al
ways and everywhere. Many other honor
ed names will undOuhted be suggested for
the nomination. The Republican party
has no lack of statesmen. The great issues
at stake overshadoW the individual men
who fight for them.
The Democrats ANXIOUS and Disturbpd.
Washington despatch to the New York Tribune !
The Democratic representatives with
whom Tribune correspondent talked all
expressed the opinion that the withdrawal
of Mr.. Blaine inSures the denomination of
President Harrison, and most of them af-
fected to believe that this might benefit
their party. But in what manner it would
do so they were not ready to explain The
truth is that Democratic congressman are
rapidly losing hope; the party is divided
in the House, as well as at home. Scores
of Democratic representatives feel the great
est anxiety and uncertainty in respect to
their own political future, and most of
them have lost the aggressive confidence
which they displayed before the organiza
tion of the House.

4 Record without a Parallel.
From the Boston Record.

Almost nominated in 1880, nominated in
1884 and defrauded of the presidency, the
choice of the party in 1888 but at the last
moment declining to be a candidate, the
strong desire of the party in 1892 but early
declining to have his name used this is a
record which has no parallel, the nearest
approach to it being the career of Henry
Clay in the Wing organization.

From the Tribune's Washington CORE
spOndent: y prominent Republican in dis
cussing The probable denomination of Pres
ident Harrison said: ellis administration
has won the confidence of the people and
he is daily gaining strength. In my opin-
ion his denomination is foregonc concu-
sion. Mr.. Blaine's letter SETS at rest for
ever, hope, the absurd and silly stories
about want of harmony between him and
the President-stores for which there
never was a shadow of foundation in fact
They are both great men and both are ear
nest epublicans-devoted to the interest
of their party and country. There is and
has been the most cordial agreement and
sympathy between them from the begin
ming in regard to matters of public policy.
The relations between President Harrison
and the other members of his cabinet, and
between them and Mr. Blaine, have been
equally cordial and harmonious. To use
an expressive phrase. they have all pulled
together: the administration has been
unit, and has impressed itself upon the
country as an able, wise and patriotic one.
There are many strong and worthy party
leaders, but this seem, to me to be IIar-

Nr. Blaine Says the Republicans VIII
Win.



Mr. Blaine is very cheerful over the sit
uation and expressed himself as confident
of Republican success this fall. He thinks
that the Cleveand-Ilill fight will make it
impossible for any Democrat to carry
New York this year, for either Cleveland
or Hill influence will dominate the conven-
tion, no matter who is nominated, and the
defeated influence will turn and defeat the
nominee in New York. He thinks that
Harrison will be renominated and that
whatever opposition there is to him at
present will disappear before convention
time

Lively Fight.

The withdrawal of Mr.. Blaine has started
the presidential bee to buzzing i'm many
bOnnets. In the list are Senator Cullom.
possibly Senator Allison-who has declar-
ed, however. his confidence in the renomi-
nation of President Harrison. General AL
ge., Governor Mckinley, Secretary Rusk
and possibly Robert r. Lincoln. Senator
Cullom is the first to openly announce
himself as candidate. He has done il
for week in a frank. open and manly
way. He does not do this in any spirit of
antagOnism to President Harrison. He
said a week ago that he should become a
candidate for the nomination in the event
of the withdrawal of Mr.. Blaine. And it
is very evident that Mr.. Cullom in some
way has been very confident for consid-
cradle period that Mr.. Blaine would not be
a candidate.
From this moment to the seventh of
June. when the Republican convention as
semhles at Minneapolis. the presidential
bee will be found in many bonnets. The
administration will he confronted with ri
walls, perhaps East and West, and the next
three and a half months will be stirring
months in American politics. The candi-
dature of Mr.. Harrison is supported among
other considerations by his strength in
pivotal states. 10y his able administration
of his high office. by his influence with the
solid business and industrial interests of
the country, 1t will be hard to defeat him
for nomination now that Mr. Blaine has
withdrawn. But he will not have walk
over in carrying the convention. His rivals
are men of influence and energy, and they
will exert themselves to the extent of their
ability and opportunity. The contest for
the presidency is now fully opened on both
sides and the rest of the year will be inter
esting

Mr. Blaine Means IL.

Does he really mean it," is the qurs-
tion that nine ont OF every ten men ask
when they speak of the Blaine letter The
New York Suns correspondent believes.
after conyersing with the best informed
men in Washington, that there is no doubt
that Mr.. Blaine means just what he says.
and that his name will not be presented to
the convention in Minneapolis 1t is also
undoubtedly true that he means to say that
he will not, under any circumstances, be a
candidate for the presidency, and that even
should he be nominated he would not ac-
cept, The fact is, this correspondent con
tinues, that Mr.. Blaine has come to the
conclusion that it would be fatal to him to
undergo the fatigue and excitement of an
other campaign, and that he must put the
temptation behind him at once. To one
of his most intimate friends Mr.. Blaine said
few days ago: IL would rather be alive
than be President"
