New YORK, May 9.-The Herald says;

nomination at Minneapolis' Il viii be
curious political commentary if this man,
who labored zealously in 1884 and again in
1883 to secure the prize and failed, should
now have il thrust upon him when he is
giving no thought to it and has apparently
abandoned his presidential ambition.
One thing is certain, such Of the political

WuKEsBARRE, Pa, May 9. -Murmuring
Of discomfort among the miners of the
Wyoming valley since the contamination OF
the Reading deal are increasing, and an or
ganized effort is being made by them TO re
sist it. John S. Hadraok, one Of the mosi
prominent labor leaders in the anthracite
region, said last night that the spirit Of IN
rest was uEYersal among the workipgmen
IaThey have waited patiently he said
'for some bona iide nction by the state gov
ernment looking to the enforcement OF tht
constitution against the combine, but have
become disguised at the evident insincerity
Of those in position to bring the combine
to terms. Now they nror2se 70 take th,,
matter into their own hands. The men say
that in order to pay the guarantee given by
the Reading one Of two things must b,
done
"Ihe price 0f coal must le advanced forty
cents ton or the wages Of the miners re
duceS D 10 10 per cent They cannot SEE
how it Is possible TO advance the price Of
coal in the market, and they conclude that
the only other alternate isleft-a reduction
Of their wages 10 the starvation point
1T is the universal opinion that ths
policy of retrenchment already Snauguratec
by the Reading win bear heavily upon the
miners, and for the sake of their homes the
men are determined that the constitution
shall be obeyed OF serious trouble viii fol

HEADS TOGETHER
Mysterious Meeting Of Repub-
licans at Washington.
PLATT, QUAY AND BLAINE CONFER

Have rhey United on senator sherman,
General Aiger or Mr.. Blaine as Their
Favorite for the Presidential Nomina.
Cleveland Democrats to Meet
WASHINGTON, May s-There is a mani
fest disposition among the 80 sailed anti
administration Republicans to belittle the
Importance Of the conferences held In Wash
ington by ex-senator Platt with Senators
Hisoock and Quay, Represen tative Boutelle,
Colonel Duhield and other friends Of other
candidates FOR the presidential nomination
Senator Quay, for example, when urged TO
say frankly what occurred between him
and Mr. Platt, replied;
what senator Quay Says.
"Really the meeting of Mr. Platt and my
self is not worthy Of public importance.
am not ready 10 be interviewed on the sub
iect of the presidential nomination, and that
fact ought to show You that the conversa-
tion between Mr. Platt and myself was OF
no political importance"
Representative Boutelle was equally ret
icent. He had two long consultations with
Mr.. Platt and Secretary Blaine. but insists
that his interviews with hr Platt were
wholly unimportant in a political sense
Nevertheless, Mr.. Boutelle who was so dis
gusted with the political situation a fort
night ago as 20 declare that he did not take
enough interest in the next presidential
campaign to 90 10 Minneapolis, is now full
of buoyant cheerfulness and did not deny
the report that he will, after all, go to the
Minnqapolis convention.
The Cry for Blaine
A good deal Of significance wqs attached
TO the declaration Of Senator Hiscock after
the senator's long conference with Mr..
Platt that he was more confident than ever
that President Harrison would be renomi-
mated. There Is good authority for saying
that Mr. Platt, when he left here, did not
agree with Mr. Hiscocks opinion.
Despite the effort of these antiadminis-
tration leaders TO obscure the Importance
of their consultations, a great deal OF mean
ing is attributed to them by others II has
become fairly well understood that no name
has vet been agreed upon by them IN opposi
| ton to that Of President Harrison, and IL I
equally well understood that some Of thos'
Republicans who think a denomination
serious handicap upon any presidential can
didate believe, with Senator Hiscock, tina
the denomination of President Harrison
unless Secretary Blaine consents to hea'
the ticket, is already assured. The cry o
these men is still for Blaine, who continue
to preserve silence, but to exhibit his II
stored health in public every way.
