is BLAINE IN 1T AeAlNe
That's the Latest Talk in PoIiti-
cal Circles.

WASHINGTON, April There is I'M
doubtably vigorous revival of the
Blaine talk, and there are those who
insist that if the Secretary had felt as
we'll physically when he wrote his re-.
cent letter declining to allow his name
to be used at the Minneapolis conven-
non as he does now it would not have
oeen written. The apparent lack of
candidates against Harrison does not in
tue least diminish the talk of upposi-
zion TO his denomination on the part of
the senators who are opposed to him nor
on the part OF that other large class of
political leaders who plaise the Presi.
dent and his administration. but who
boldly proclaim their fears that ne can
not again DO elected.
1t is said that both the Platt and Mil
Ter men in New York insist that Mr..
Harrison is much weaker now in that
State than he was in 1883, and they add
that 1t was only by the most herculean
work and the most lavish expenditure
OF money that it was possible to get
MIN majority at that time, and they
insist that neither tho work nor the
money can be secured for him second
time.
The opponents Of Harrison are hoping
that the Blaine talk will go on without
any protest from Mr.. Blaine, and that
his improved health justifes them in
insisting that he shall put nothing in
the way of his nomination at Minneap-
oils, where the argument will be made
that Blaine and Blaine only can save
the party from defeat at the polls.
1t can be safely asserted that system
attic work is now being done in the direc-
ton indicated above with view of
doing the real and telling work at
Minneapolis.
