two later he fell into & comatose state,
from which he never rallied. He died ten
minutes before the physician arrived. The

ways been regarded as a man of an ex-
ceptionally vigorous constitution and uni

New YORK, May ia special from

Chairman Springer of the committee
made this statement today in reply to the

MY sickness, perhaps, has retarded in a
measure the progress of the Democratic
policy as outlined by the leaders, but con-

end of this session we Fr,uld have gone
very far towards meeting The declaration OF

Only one or two appropriation bills arc
left on the calendar and when they have
been passed we will have clear field for
tariff bills. At first there vas some criti-
cism of the policy adopted to revise the
tariff by individual bills, but am satisfied
now that the Democrats are felicitating
themselves on the fact that the
general bill was not brought in,
as we probably would not have
been able TO get away from here before
October. The Democratic majority of the
House viii have good record on the tariff
issue. The majority of the bills which
have been passed or are under confederation
were those most imparatively demanded
by the people. l think we will be able L

the interest taken in the Nicaragua canal

merchants, irrespective of politics, agreed
with me that the opening of this canal

Especial TO THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New YORK, May l4.-Senator John p.
Jones of Nevada has been il New York for
several days comforting with the Repub-
licen leaders in this state He is strongly
opposed to the denomination Of President
Harrison.
Il an not opposing Mr.. Harrison on per-
sonal grounds" he said to a reporter to-
night. "If l thought we could elect him
easier than any body else, why [ should be
for MIN. But l believe that we cannot re-
elect Mr.. Harrison, and therefore [ do not
think that we should nominate him. Let us
but nominate Blaine and he will sweep the
country"
''Will he accept, do you think?"
II should lose all of my respect
for him if thought that he
would not accept the unanimous call of
his party. Blaine owes il to himself and
to his country to accept the nomination,
even if he knew he would not live to serve
out his term. What are few years Of life
to the qualification of lite long ambition?
Mr.. Blaine has been striving for the presi-
dency Tor twenty years, now he has it
within his grasp. DO you suppose he is
going to allow little matter, such as a
pain IN his stomach to deprive him of the
great prizel"
Isn't Mr.. Blaine bound in honor to
support Mr.. HARRISON as long as he re-
mains in the cabinet2n
~ am glad you asked that question. 1t
| is time il was set right before the country
There is not the slightest obligation i'm
posed on Mr.. Blaine by reason of his posi-
ton to support the presidents claim for a
second term. He is not Mr.. Harrison's
secretary of state, but representative of
the American people. The president does
not own the government The Republican
party can tender Mr. Blaine the nomina-
tion and he can accept it without violating
the slightest degree of any principle OF

his own way and had his delegates just
where he wanted them. 1t is now too late
for him to do anything against Harrison.
Referring to the sharp criticisms upon
the omission of Grover Cleveland's name
from the platform or the New York state
midwinter convention, Hill is quoted thus:
"'Why, should like to know, should the
convention have mentioned the name OF
Grover Cleveland, as the conventions of
Mother party have been in the habit Of
dragging in outsiders in this way. Why,
as far as the reasonableness of the thing
goes, the convention might as we'll have

the matter is, Tom Platt made great mis-
