BLACK MORE.

X. ID. Blackmore recently completed
his SEVENTEEN year. He is the doyen
of contemporary English novelists.
Twenty-seven years ago the book that
made him famous, Lorna Doone," was
published. 1t fell fiat at first. The
critics failed to praise it, and the pub
lie would not buy. BY curious blund-
er the English public suddenly came
to the conclusion that the book had
something to do with the Marquis of
Lorne. \ demand for the novel arose,
and the tickle public came to real
izing sense of the solid merit of Black
more's great work.

NOT TRuTHFuI.
Gov. AItgeId Denies That He is Lay
ing Plans for Morrison.

*
Springfield. IN, June 27-There is
nothing whatever Of truth in the state
ment sent out from here last night that
Governor Altgeld was planning a coup
to secure the nomination Of ex-Con-
gresham w. r. Morrison for president
at the Chicago convention The gov
ernor himself said so a breakfast this
morning fla a most emphatic manner.
His exceuency Furthermore denies pos
itively that he held a secret conference
with Col. Morrison at Pontiac. Ia the
dispatch sent out from here last night
the following occurred: 1t was said
some weeks ago that when Mr.. Norri-
son LEFT Chicago for Springfield in or
der to call upon the governor at the ex-
ecutive mansion the governor hurriedly
left Springfield for Chicago to avoid
meeting him.
The truth is that Governor AltgeId
telegraphed Mr.. Morrison to leave the
train at Pontiac promising to meet him
there They met at that time and
place. Their interview lasted for sew
eral hours. Tt was without Republican
witnesses and what passed between
them can only be surmised. lit can,
however, be inferred from their sub
seQuent action ana from the talk of
their mutual friends They have un-
doubtedly avoided each other since
they quarreled on that occasion. 1t is
more likely that they came to a com
plete understanding and that part Of
that understanding was that they
should keep up all appearance Of mu-
tual coldness and dislike until after the
Chicago convention.
Governor Altgeld did not wish to
have it supposed hat he was plotting
the nomination of a goIdite. Mr.. Nor
rison did not wish to have it appear
that Governor Altgeld is his political
friend and backer The one desired to
be in a position to hold the silverites
and the other the goldites when the de-
cisive moment shall arrive in the Chi
cago convention so that by their joint
actions, they might affect a combina~
tion there which should result in the
nomination Of Morrison.
When the governor read this he said
There is absolutely nothing in it
and there is no foundation upon which
to base its publication. No such inter
view was ever held between myself and
Col. Morrison and have not been
scheming for the nomination of anv
particular candidate at the Chicago
convention. What / desire most is
free silver platform" The report sent
out last night was probably based upon
a rumor published several months ago.
that the governor and Col. Morrison
had met at Pontiac and had a long
conference regarding the ex-congress-
mans candidacy for the presidential
nomination This rumor gained wide
circulation. but it appears never before
to have been authentically denied
