IT begins to look as though the Harrison republicans were afraid of Governor Nor ton. They have started a very shrewd movement to shelve him as New York's candidate for the nomination, or to at least divide the delegation from that state, by booming ex.Secretary Tracy, who was member of Hsrrison's cabinet, for the nom- ination. Mir Tracy is an able man and his honesty is unquestioned. but he will not stand as we'll as he has done if he allows himself to be used in such a scheme.

How Professor Blackie Once Footed

Many good stories are being told
about the late Prof. Blackie, and some
others will doubtless see the light. An
amusing episode occurred at the ban.

gan to speak that the late Thomas Paul,
chief reporter Of the Scotsman, inform.
ed his colleagues on the other papers
that he had proofs in his pocket with
which, by Prof. Blackie's instructions,
he would supply them. The grateful re.
porters ceased from their labors, but
were amazed to find Mr.. Paul himself
taking hastily to his notebook and
putting down every word as he slgnaled
to them that there was something
| wrong.
The secret was soon out, for Prof.
Blackie made no secret Of It. He was
delivering an entirely different speech
from that which he had written-racy,
witty and entertaining, flashing with
jeux d'esprit and glowing with patriotic
artior-but having NJ more relation to
the speech supplied to the Scotsman
than the character Of Queen Dido to the
causes Of the potato famine In ireland.
The professor pulled himself up from
time to time, saying, But this Ii not the
speech meant to give. That does not
matter. You will see my real speech
