BLAINE IN THE RACE.
Cincinnati "Enquirer" Prints n Dispatch
Confirming Previous Reports.

CINCINNATI. May 22.-The Enquirer prints
this morning dispatch from its WASH
ington City correspondent. In view of
the warm social relations between Blaine
and John r. Mclean, the dispatch may
be considered quite significant The dis
patch reads as follows: The convention
to DE held at Minneapolis the eth of June
next will nominate James G. Blaine for
the Office of president ofthe United States.
The situation has reached crisis. Blaine
has spoken to this extent: L will do moth
ing to prevent my nomination. I have
made my last denial And I can say
Likewise that if nominated Blaine will
make the race. Yielding every considera-
ton to the party welfare, he is in the
hands of the delegates. He will neither
seek the nomination nor run away from it.
If called upon to lead he will throw the
magic of his name and fame to the FORE
most front"

Last Relay of Bicycle Journey Reaches
New York This Morning.

New YORK, May 23.-After a hard strrg-
gle with bad roads and binding rain, the
last relay in the great bicycle journey
from Chicago to New York was assisted
from his wheel more dead than alive at
1:06 this (Monday) morning. The run
from Albany was made with little loss of
time, but il was impossible to make up the
nine hours loss before reaching that
point. The message left Poughkeepsie
at % p. m. Peekskill al 4:57; Sing Sing

and dashed forward, leaving Eveland TO

riders shared in the undertaking. From

message away from the Pullman building.
10 Quick, who came rushing over
the slippery Broadway pavement tonight,
q long succession of crack wheeimen
struggled through the darkness and damp
ness until their relay was accomplished.
Sometimes they made q racers pace, and
again an extreme Face. Sometimes they
were com PEELED 10 leave the machine mired
and broken and run on foot TO the next
relay. Occasionally they were compelled
to swim a river where the swollen Hoods
had carried the bridges rway.
One OF the things which the undertak-
ing will illustrate is the general depravity
OF American roads, and this it has most
certainly accomplished. Great interest
was evinced by the stories OF the riders,
and fences along the country roads were
loaded with excited countrymen who were
waiting. even az midnight, each with
g lantern in one hand and an umbrella in
the other. In large towns the streets were
lined with similar curious throngs. Not
wiihstanding the lateness OF the hour a
large crowd is waiting on Park Row. where
the race was finished. Lieutenant Treat
aide-de-camp to General o. o. Howard, was
in waiting. He quickly took the message
and conveyed it by specially chartered
tug TO General Howard at Governors

Though weak and cruel, vain, untrue,
From all earth's high and low

This rough Old Admiral of the Sea,
Still pointing toward the West.
There stands he on his westward PROV,
A man entirely strong;

Can never do him wrong.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-02-13

MIR HARRISON is far from being as happy as he expected to be after Mir Bluine's letter was published, if those who profess to be his friends know the state of his mind. He expected that MT Blaine would take occasion in that letter to advocate the nomination of Benjamin Harrison, or at least to say a good word for him in some way, and he has got it into his head that MT Blaine by ignoring himI. intended to slight him, he is very touchy about the dignity which he appears to think surrounds his person like a halo. Another thing that he doesn't like is the freedom with which senators, repre- sentatives and other prominent men.of his party have announced their prefer ence for some other candidate than himself. He fears that MriBIaine in tends to throw his influence to that mysterious "some other candidate, |" and he is mighty sorry that there was no truth in the rumor prevalent a day or two ago that Mir Blaine intended re- signing and going to Bermuda to re- main until after the meeting of the republican convention. Nothing would suit him better just now than for MT Blaine to leave the country for few months.

When Mrs Million goes to ride she travels
 forth in state,
 Her horses, full of fire and pride, go pranc.
 ing from the gate; But all the beauties of the day she views
 with languid eye,
 Her flesh in weakness wastes away, her
 voice is but sigh.
 For Mrs Million Is in an advanced stage of catarrh, and all the luxuries that wealth can buy fail to give her comfort She envies her rosy waitiug-maid, and wodld give all her riches for that young woman's pure health and blooming health. Now, If some true and disintsr. ested friend would advice Mrs Million of the wonderful merits of pr Sage's. Catarrh Remedy, she would learn that her case is not past help. $500 reward is offered by the manufactures for case of catarrh in the head Whi-h they cannot cure.

THE New London Telegraph does not believe in the worlds fair convention called by Governor Bulkeley. It says: Why does not some one puncture Gov ernor Bulkeley's patriotic movement to have Connecticut represented at the worlds fair? All this indignation and call for contributions is simply for polit- ical effect, only that and nothing more. There is no necessity for Connecticut to go any farther than it has already done. Governor Bulkeley, with an audacity that is really admirable, has seen in the worlds fair business an opportunity to get political capital. The circular he has sent out is simply the feeler for a scheme which IS to bs engineered for the glory of Bulkeley and company. The worlds fair will open in '93 at a date long following upon the opening of the Connecticut legislature. That legis- lature and the governor to be installed can manage all that is necessary to give Connecticut a proper representation at the worlds fair. Connecticut's lawful governor and new legislature both working together will give the state a prcp place among its sisters. Gov ernor Bulkeley should not be permitted to put his hand on the business.

THE EXTRA SHILLING.
A Trick That Is Played on GulleIesa
 Americans While Abroad.

A Trick That Is Played on GuIleless
 Americans While Abroad.
 Here is a trick that is played every day during the season or Americans in Lon don, says an exchange. It. nearly al- ways works, simple as it is. A gentle man from Rochester, N. Y, who is well known in that city, bought pair of gloves on Oxford street the other day, gave the man a sovereign and toolz-as Americans very generally do-his change without counting it, shoveled it off the counter into his pockets. He was walking down Oxford street when a breathless person overlook him and tapped him on the shoulder.
 ''I beg your pardon, sir, but I'm very sorry we gave you a shilling too much change"
 ''Did you?'' said the American, pull ing out handful of change from his pocket and looking at it hopelessly.
 'Yes, sir, l am very sorry, sir, but you see, sir, it will be taken out of my wages and I don't get any too much. We don't ln this country, sir. Won't you come back, sir, and I'll explain how it happened"
 ''Oh, it's all right" " said the Rochester man, and he handed the fellow a shil- ling.
 "Would you like to go back and see if it's all right?'' said the salesman.
 ''Oh, not at all."
 "I'm very much obliged to you, sir, '' said the clerk, bringing his forefinger up to his bare head.
 That shilling and many others like it went into the clerks pocket.
