1t Is Said That the Former Would Ac-
cept the Nomination.
New York, May %. = Congressman
Hiscock visited Secretary Blaine to-day.
He subsequently said: Blaine will ac-
cept the Presidential nomination if he is
nominated, and 1 am sure that he will be
nominated. He will write no more let
ters of declination. While he is not quite
as well as 1 expected to find him. he is
improving daily. l am satisfied that he
is strong enough to undergo Presiden-
tial campaign"
Ex-Governor Oliver Ames of Massa-
chusetts had a talk with Blaine to-day,
but said tonight that politics was not
mentioned. Ames added that Chauncey
Depew had told him yesterday that Mrs.
Blaine was anxious to have her husband
accept, and he (Depew) considered that
pretty strong evidence. She reported
Blaine strong enough to endure the cam
paign. Depew and Ames agreed that
Blaine is the strongest man in the party.
The rumored conference to be held at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel by Blaine men
has been abandoned, but it is understood,
nevertheless, that plan to capture the
Minneapolis Convention for the man
from Maine has already been decided
upon; that every effort Will be made for
his nomination on the first ballot, and he
will not be consulted as to whether he
will permit his name to be used.
OF the expected anti Harrison contest,
the Tribune says: Clarkson favored a
conference of leaders so the situation
could be fully discussed. 1t has been de-
cided, however, to postpone it until
probably Saturday, June 4th, at Mime
apolis. The plan of the Blaine men is
said to be a carefully conceived style of
filibustering in the convention until it is
definitely settled that nomination is i'm
possible then, when all hope of nomi-
mating Harrison or settling on any other
candidate is abandoned, Blaine will be
called upon as the only man to break the
deadlock, and will be nominated with a
hurrah.
HARRISON WILLING TO SERVE AGAIN.
NEW YORK, May 26.-The World prints
an Interview with President Harrison,

the people, having in consideration the
manner in which l have conducted the
Presidency, desire me, / presume they
will signify their wishes"
The special further states that President
Harrison has not announced his candi-
dacy, and will not do SO.

Declares Emphatically for Free Coin
age OF silver.
WINNENUCCA (Nev.), May 26.-The
Democratic State Convention met here
to-day. The platform which was adopted
declares in part: I'VE denounce the De-
monetization Act of 1873, and arraign its
authors and maintainers, their aiders
and abettors in Europe and America as
enemies of the public veal, o-workers in
crime of legislation for favored classes to
the detriment of the toiGng masses. We
denounce the demonetiZation Of silver as
having no parallel in the wickedness of
its conception or in the atrocity of its
consummation, except in the method
used by a class of big and little politicians,
the puppets of the gold bug oiigarchy, to
defeat the restoration of its use as money.
In this great contest we hold all free COIN
age men and parties as friends, and all
others as enemies"
The platform instructs the delegates to
the national convention to use all honor
able means to secure the adoption OF a
plank in the national platform declaring
explicitly in favor of the free coinage of
silver, and under no circumstances to
vote for any man Tor nomination to the
Presidency unless he shall be unquali-
fiedly in favor of free coinage. 1t also
declared that IN the event of the Chicago
convention failing to nominate candi-
dates who are unequivocally in favor of
free coinage, the nominees of this con-
Vention are absolved from all obligations
to support the national ticket. Hon.
Governor Cassidy was nominated for
Congressman.

Monday man calling himself Judge
Love of San Jose called on Holland, say
ing that he was on his way to Chico to
hold court and had stopped over to see
about buying ranch. Holland bit and
showed the stranger over his ranch. The
next day the men met in Marysville and
the stranger promised to call again on
the ensuing day. He did so and when
they were driving over the ranch they
met confederate of the stranger who
said that he was also looking for ranch,
but he inCidently remarked that he was
an agent of the Louisiana lottery. He
volunteered to explain how the game
could be beaten. Producing several
cards he allowed Holland and the first
stranger to draw and, of course, they
won.
Stranger number two then suggested
they put up 81 ,000 each. Holland came
to town, drew the money from the bank
and returned to the ranch, where the
Sharpers were waiting. The money was
all put i'll a tin box and Holland won it,
In some way the box was changed and
the strangers left. On opening the box
Holland found that he had nothing but
iron washers. He reported the matter to
the authorities, but the men have not
been found.

ward s. Brown of Colorado, Senator Col
quit of Georgia, Representative Pierce of
Tennessee, Livingstone of Georgia and
Simpson of Kansas.
Brown said the antagonism of the Ad-
ministration to silver brought on the
crisis i'll affairs in Colorado.
Senator Colquitt was in hearty accord
with every effort at the remonetization
OF silver. He thought there was a ray of
hope across the dark and portentous
horizon in the action of the Senate to-
day.
Pierce thought the free coinage bill
would pass the Senate. If it came to the
House from the Senate, and the former
body refused to pass it, there would be
administered to the members in Novem-
Der dose in comparison with which
Rough on Rats would not be circum-

Ward Beecher in the LUdies' Home Jour
nat. But the one great Joy in this de-
lightful journey was to see our youngest
sou, Herbert, and his family. His wife
we had never seen, nor the little one,
Henry Ward Beecher of ''Citic Coast"
as he would always call himself. He was
Mr.. Beecher's namesake.
A friend had written pretending to rid
icule some of Mr.. Beecher's expressions
OF admiration for the country we were
passing through. l copy part of his re-
ply:
y "In taking this trip Puget Sound was,
of course, the very aim and center of our
journey, for there our youngest son and
his family We're located. All our expec-
tations and more were realized. His
wife, his boy and Herbert, himself, fully
equaled our best hopes. His wife is an
artist and no mistake. / know of no
Eastern woman who think could equal
her had she devoted her life to 1t. l told
her she ought not to have married, but
since she would do it was thankful she
had taken my son for her husband. She
quietly stepped to my wiie's side, who
was holding the little boy, and said as
she laid her hand on his head, rs not
this better than painting?' Good! The
boy is noble little fellow"
In letter written home at the same
time, after speaking with great tender
ness and satisfaction of our son and his
wife, he adds: but, oh the boy! Only
eight months old, and walking by
chairs; with an eye that searches
into everything, an ear that loves
music and hears every sound, a counten-
auce that changes every moment, full of
smiles, love, run or sobriety, noble
body, and as good specimen of cramps
and crying-when he has to-as | ever
heard. So get out of the way for Henry
Ward Beecher OF the Pacific Coast, and
three cheers for his grandfather"
