BLACKBURN IN HARD LUCK.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 29.-Editor B. M.
Blackburn, elector from this district, and

day after having ad burned in Washing
ton three weeks waiting for Mr.. Cleve-
land to drop him a plum. MIR. Black
burn refused to accept either of two
counsulships rendered him because
he did not think they were
sufficient reward for his services
to the party. Speaking of the matter TO-
day Editor Blackburn said The PreSi-.
dent personally rendered me Ell her the
consulate to Cienfuegos or st. Thomas,
and it is true that 1 declined accepting
either appointment. Cienfuegos is the
second worst yellow fever port IN the

Indies and you may imagine my reason
for refusing to accept that post. In addi-
tod to this, l did not think the impor-
lance Of either place was in keeping with
nv merit, Whatever others may believe,
and / could not get my consent to make
the sacrifice that an acceptance involved.
1.-The President himself has shown me
very nice consideration in personal way,
which | appreciate. / have no harsh crit
icism to make of his action, and my
loyalty is not to be influenced by per-
sonal disappointment. His failure to APP
point me to place will not in the least
interfere with my defense of him when

1t is commonly understood that Editor
Blackburn holds Secretary Smith resDon-
sib BILE for his failure with the admins ira

have hitched several times, and Mr..
Blackburn thinks the secretary has car
