logical result Of present political condi-.
tions but the life Of the democratic party
depends Of the fortunes of no one man.

one, have determined that he shall not be
Nominated, and know enough of them and

and nothing would be more disastrous
than the nomination of Hill over Cleveland,
followed by a bitter factional fight in the
empire state and widespread discontent
among democrats throughout the country.

Mrve to Cut Them or the List--They
Cause Trouble.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The bill intro
duced by Representative Newberry Ill.),
cutting off pensions to for eigners and non
residents of the United States, is becoming
a subject OF great International interest.
The dispatches state that in one province Of
Canada alone over 1900 people would be
affected by the proposed legislation, and
Gen. Newberry himself estimates that for
eign beneticiaries of pension laws aggre-
gate nt least $4,000. In an interview Gen.
Newberry said after the war foreigners who
had come here as soldiers of fortune took
advantage OF liberal pension laws and re-
turned to their native country, where they
have ever since lived, rearing families on
money paid them BY the United States.
1T iR not now, nor was it ever, their pur-
pose to return to this country; nor do their
sons acknowledge allegiance to the United
States. The pensioner himself takes ad.
vantage Of his position to absolve himself
from duties to his home government and
lives in ease and luxury on the bounty Of
the United States. He is a constant
source Of annoyance to our consuls abroad,
demanding protection under our flag from
duties owing to his own government. There
are several Thousand such pensioners living
in the Kingdom of Wurtemberg, Germany,
and our minister to I turkey says they are
scattered all over eastern Asia and western
Europe. We know that many are living in
Great Britain and Canada.

other announcements of evon moro import

the Daily News correspondents has author

himself. His determination to resign
is innl and absolute, and it only remains
to be determined at what date his retire.
mont will take place. The reason he will
give the president for retirement will be
tnat of physical inability to continue tho
luborious and unyielding strain which
the state department pnts upon him.
This is III fact the true reason
for Mr.. Blaine's determination to withdraw
entirely from official life. For months his
family and physicians haye been trying to
pc sunde him to get out of Washington
through tho winter and spring months, und
they have at last prevailed upon him to sec
the desirability of adopting this COURSE"

esnor told reporter about his meeting
with Gov. Boyd yesterday. when Gov.
Boyd entered my Office lie said, Il ap-

did not offer to take it, and inquired Of
him, Am I to understand, sir, that you de-
cline to shake hands with me?' He replied
that / might SO understand. We'll, sir,
said I, i want You to understand that it Is
i matter Of entire indifference to me-
Thayer expressed the opinion that plans are
being formed by Boyd and other democrats
that would, if carried out. be disastrous to
the republicans. He thought the legisla-
ture would "Michiganize" the state. which
would mean the loss OF some presidential
electors by republicans.
