Mr. Bhilnc'd name has been on the lips ol
everybody in Washington to-day. Since the
surprise of the moment wore away no one
cnnbc found who doubts his slnccrcncss. AI
concede that ho means to pull out of the race
for the nomination and to keep out. It is
amusing to note the number of prominent re
publicans who sire saying , "I told you so. '
The fact is , it was the wish of many no
that they thought any less of Mr. Blnlni
than they dlel when they voted for him Ii
1SM4 , but because they felt that they woule
not only have to support him ut the poll
again , but in convention nnd against the !
better judgment. Now that ho Is out of tin
wuy many uro frank to say that the ;
feel a sense of relief , because a !
thut coulel moke any dispute o
discord is removed and there is nothing fo
the party to do but to como solidly together
select a new mun upon merit and strcngtl
only und elect him. Sherman coining for
ward , no man has yet developed as a spcciu
favorite. Senator Sherman's name is natu
rally heard ottcner than that of any otbc
man. Ho is regarded us very strong , espe
daily In the financial circles of New Yort
which state , it Is conceded , can not put fort !
n candidate upon which the party there cm
unite , nnd then , Mr. Sherman is exceeding ! ;
strong in the manufacturing centers and i
the south. An effort is to bo made to mak
the election of the republican euudidato sur
outside of New York by cnrryingsomo south

the stutcs north which usually go republicai
The friends of Mr. Sherman say ho can mor
nearly do this tliun any other ono who ha
been spoken of for the nomination. Th
Ohloans are enthusiastic and declare thii
Mr. Sherman will go into the e-onvention wit :
a solid delegation from Ills stuto und that b
will be nominated.

that ho docs not desire the highest ofllcc i
gift of the people , nnd I believe his wor
should bo accepted the snme us if ho decline ,
any other ofllce. Some years ago , when Mi
Tiielen wrote a similar letter declining to I
candidate , wo remember the democrats n
fused to credit his withdrawal , and , there
no eloubt that for the same reason a men
uro scepticism rests in regard to Mr. Blaln
for people have supposed thorn was no Urn
to his ambition , as ho has been a Candida
so long and lias so strong a following. I ci
understand why Mr. Bluino does not desii
again to lead the republican party in tl

TIIOUIII.K ron THE rum.ic ruixTEii.
Public Printer Benedict is , getting In
deep hot water. The house has ordered i
investigation into the utTaiis of hid oflico , ui
the president has culled upon him to exphi
tha seemingly unnecessary delay in woi k se
there for execution. A number of senutu
nnd representatives , it is stated , have call
upon the piesident during.the past week
two unel pointed out the inconveniences u
losses occasiemeel by not only congress b
all the departments of the government on i
count of the failure of the public piiuter
do work sent him within the time when
was done by his predecessor nud when it
needed. A large ) number of reports hi :
been delayed until the time of their usef

giiiC of whe-ols in vome quintet s. Bills i
not printcHl for congress sometimes for
week or ten elajs .after the usual lime , a

A eietnoeratie member says thopicsldc

Both parties want such a measure and it is
going to be reported to the house ono cf
these days from the committee on ways nnel
passed. Wo will not delay it much in the
senate. Neither p.irty can afford to hag
gle over this thing. The country has
decreed that the tariff should bo removedand
it is only a matter of the men in congress do
ing what their constituents have demanded.
Yet , I think Mr. Blulno is out of the way now ,
but the republicans have lost the strongest
man they have , after all. The element in a
candidate to insure success is that of com
manding un enthusiastic following. I never
saw n man who could do that better than
Blainc. His followers would go to death foe
him. They would commit political suicide
when he led them and were consoled in their
loss by the admiration they felt for thcii
leader. "

The bill opening to settlement the Sloun
Indian reservation in Dakota was reported

I'BIIHY S. HEATH.
Entirely Out of the Have.
PHILADELPHIA , Feb. 14. [ Special Tele
gram to the BEE. ] The Record publishes the
following : Charles Kmcry Snilthcdltor-in
chief of the Press , who is unlvcrsnlly recog
nizcd us Blalne's closest and most conflelen
tinl political friend In this state , talked with
out reserve lost night upon the question ol
Mr. Bluino's letter. During the absence ol
Blainc from the country he has been in con
stunt correspondence with Smith , und there
are few men in the United States better abli
to measure the full significance of Blame' !
remarkable letter than is the editor of tin
Press. "At the outset , " said Mr. Smith , "
may as well suy that I regard this letter as i
finality. Blalno , in my opinion , has pur
poscly and absolutely taken himself out-o
the contest for the republican prcsidentiu
nomination , and his purpose will not In
shaken by any circumstances that couli
possibly bo foreseen. The letter , in mi
opinion , means just what it says , and there I
no reason for insinuation or hope thnt then
may bo u hidden meaning between the lines
Blaine is no longer a fue-tor In the race fo
the presidential nomination.
Ai tills point Mr. Smith was Interrupted b ;
the inquiry : "Do you mean to say that ther
are conceivable circumstances uneler whicl
Bluino would consent to bo n candidate fo
the presidency ! "
"No , " replied the editor. "My opinion i
that no man ever has or ever will refuse t
accept a nomination for the presidency whlc
is spontaneously and unanimously ottered t
him. Viewed merely as a hypothetical case
think thut if sucli an unlikely thing snoul
happen as thnt , under the circumstances th
convention , finding all other candidates ou
of the question , should unanimously tcndc
the nomination , Blaine coulel not refuse. Bu
I am convinced that no such remote possibil
ity suggests itself to Mr. Blaine , nnd the bes
evidence that ho is entirely sincere is that hi
best frion'ds in the country , who have n righ
to feel that they know something of him , ur
convinced thut it is useless to consider him n
at all in the field , und they arc ut liberty , un
will exercise that liberty , to shape thci
course without regard to such a thought n
thnt Blaine is in any manner a candidate , o
thut ho hopes , expects or desires to bo a candidate
didato for the presidency. "
Itlalnc'H Retirement.
SAN FIIANCISCO , Feb. 14. Interviews wit
prominent politicians with regard to Blaine'
letter of declination show that republican
and democrats alike were taken by surpris
in general. The republicans express dec
regret. Ex-Senator A. P. Williams , clmii
man of the republican state central commit
tec , says : "Tho demands of the party fre
quenlly rise superior to individual judgmenl
If the republicans want Blaine they call hiir
and I think ho will respond. " General W
H. L. Barnes , president of the republlca
state club , spoke in the same strain.

NEBRASKA Citr , Neb. , Feb. 14. [ Special
Telegram to the BKE.J Edwin Watson , t
well-known and wealthy young farmer , re
siding south of this city several miles , re
turned a few days ago from a visit througl :
the cast , bringing with him a handsome
and accomplished young wife. There wa ;
nothing especially surprising about till ;
single fact , as ho had made It known bcfort
starting cast last November that his trip was
taken with this object in view ; but there is
an incident connected with It that was not ai
the time upon the programme , and which lmi
Just leaked out through a friend to whom tin
story was conlldcd.
Mr. Watson , it appears , formed the ac
qualntnnco of an Interesting young ladj
through the medium of n correspondents
column in n Kansas City paper some fem
years ago , nnO since which time the mai
service between Nebraska City nnd a smal
postofllcc in Floyd county , Virginia , has beci
well patronized. The correspondence mus
have proven exceedingly pleasant , ns it lee
to an engagement , subject to a personal ac
quaintnncc , nnd subsequently a trip to Vir
glnla to claim the fair correspondent for i
bride. Mr. Watson is a college graduate am
ono of the wealthiest young farmers in thii
county , and before starting on his journe ;
hud furnished u handsome homo for the wife
that was to bo. He , however , did not' knov
the young lady us well us ho hud imagined
and committed an error in leaving her unin
formed ns to his financial standing , us i
might huvo balanced any disappointment sin
might have met with in a personal acquaint
mice.
The day for their first meeting nrrive.l am
the young man apiroared at her homo am
was very cordially received by the lady am
her family. The wedding , which was sot fo
Christmas , however , did not take place , for
after a short ixjrsonul acquaintance , sh
frankly informed him she had chungcd he
mind , as she did not at all like the brusqu
ways of the "poor farmer. " Ho was disa ] !
pointed , of course , but lost no time in bid
ding good bye to the young lady und he
home. Ho stopped nt Cincinnati on his rt
turn to visit friends and think over his poi
plexing situation. To return homo alon
after all the preparations made for reccivini
the bride , was something he hud not bar
gained for , and it was not until some day
later , while reading the personal columns o
the Cincinnati Enquirer , that ho hit upon i
way out of his dilemma. He wrote the fol
lowing personal which appeared in tbatpapc
the next morning :

From a number of replies received ho sc
lectcd n modestly worded note signed

were exchanged in which his story and hi
IKisition in life were fully told , nnd h
learned that the name of his future wife wa
Carrie Lester , nnd that she was the daugli
tcr of a minister in moderate circumstances
living in a neighboring town. A mcetln

that the parents were consulted , and th

An Early Convention Favored.
Dr.sMoiXEs , la. , Feb , 14. ( Special Tele
gram to the BEE. ] The republican state
central committee met hero to-day , at the
call of Chairman Beardsloy , to llx a time for
holding the next state convention. Since the
appearance of Mr. Blalne's letter of with
drawal public sentiment , so far as can bo
gathered from representative republicans
now in the city , is in favor of nn early con
vention with a view of presenting Mr. Alli
son's name to the nation at once backed by
the party and the enthusiastic- support of
Iowa. '
"Tho sooner the convention can bo held
the better , " was the common expression
among republicans. The following arc a few
of the remarks on this subject heard in a
moments' conversation :
Governor Larrabee I think Iowa has but
one thing to do now and that Is to take up
Mr. Allison and put him forward with a strong
and resolute backing that will win. I am
in favor of an early convention und think it
ought to bo held while the legislature is in
session so as to give us the assistance of the
many leading republicans who are now here.
Chairman Beardsloy Wo must move for
ward nt once for Mr. Allison , and I think
there will bo no question but thnt the state is
enthusiastically for him. I am In favor of a
convention much earlier than I should have
favored had Mr. Blainc not withdrawn from
the light. I think now the sooner it can beget
got together the better. It will take some
time to get the notice out and hold the county
conventions to elect delegates , but wo ought
to tmvo It just us soon us wo can.
Senator Hutchison I think there Is no
question now as to the duty of Iowa.Vo
must give Mr. Allison the backing and the
support that he deserves , und we ought to
lead off at once , so that the rest of the coun
try can sco that his own state is heartily and
enthusiasticall for him. In view of the fact
that we have to begin at the bottom and
work from the ground up without the help of
any outside organi/ation I think wo should
lose no time in beginning. Other states will
soon bo holding conventions and wo can't af
ford to wait till many delegates are chosen
before we get to work.
Committeeman Swolm I am for an early
convention , the curlier the better. Wo have
got to take our couts off nnd go o work.
Senator Young I think that Iowa Is all
ready to take up Mr. Allison nnd give him nn
enthusiastic ! backing , i should favor an
early convention and think wo should select
our strongest men nnd best workers and let
them begin the light at once.
Hon. M. S. O'Connell I have completely
changed my idea of the time of the conven
tion. I was In favor of n late convention ,
sometime in May , but since Blaino's letter
was received I am in favor of a convention
just as soon us it can bo got together , so as to
give Mr. Allison the early benefit of a hearty
state support.
Ex-Representative Mcservy Let us have
the convention just as soon us the notice con
bo served and give Allison a booming sendoff -
off at onco.
Senator Sweeney I think there Is but one
thing for Iowa to do now and that is to take
up Mr. Allison us the most available man In
the country and present him with the strong ,
est enthusiasm and support possible. Let us
have an early convention and begin the
work.

uight at a form residence twelve miles easl
of here. Since his sudden disappearance on
Saturday the ofllccrs have been in search ,
but up to Monday night nothing had beer
heard from him. A telephone message fron :
Nora Springs states that such a m'an liiul
been seen near there duiing the day uml
ofllccrs from this city went nnd made the
arrest. To thootllcer he had but little to say ,
Ho freely surrendered all the agreement ?
and receipts ho had In his possession , cover
ing all the purchases ho made here. Ho wa
arraigned for a healing at 5 p. in. , but upon
his urgent request the hearing wu
postponed for twenty-four hours ,
o talks freely , but as if ho was telling n <
ittlooftlie truth as possible. To the BEI :
representative this cveninir ho said : "The
'ontracjs I made with the farmers for tin
lurchaso of their cattle were made in good
ulth , and they could bear no oilier inter
relation. The receipts I took from them
vero mostly written on plain paper furnished
> V the farmers themselves , with no chance of
hem signing a promissory note as reported ,
' . 'ho day I arrived hero 1 went to the bank
.nd told them that I expected a draft from
'owell & Co. , Tonica , 111. , for $10,000 , but in
aso that did not reach mo in time , I ex
ccted to check upon tbo bill of lad
up. I was disappointed in getting mj
noney and the bank refusing to advance 01 :
.ho . agreements I was let down. I left tin
ity on the day the cattle were to bo ttcliv-
red because I thought the parties would givi
no trouble.
"In relation to family matters nt Friabalt 1
rould say that all reports have been true am
hat is partially what has caused delay in mj
money matters. My parents icsido in Perry
hi. My brother I expect to-morrow and hi
will clear matters up. "
It is generally believed that if his sfatc

ud it was their purpose to beat the bunk.

lid just to Iind out how It worked In that
'asc ' a reporter to itay had a talk with Mr.
otholz.
"A boycott , " said the butcher , "bothers a
mn a good deal. In my case the boycotters
ud what they called a picket tl-at is ,
wonty men were polled off to follow mv de-
ivory wagon They u ed to go around to
ho houses of my customers and threaten
hem in their business with the loss of the
rorkingmcn's patronage. It bothered mo a
rood deal. "
"How did it affect your busincssl"
"Oh , It made my business better. The first
vcek I had more business than I could at-
.cnd to , People that never traded with mo
jefore came trom all parts of the city and
> oiifht their meats at my shop. A good many
vealthy people became my customers at the
utno lime , and have lemaincd my customers
vcr since. The American people don't Ilka
loycotling. I found that out. They Just rai
led about mo and told me to count on them
very time. The boj cott helped my busi ]
: icss. "
"How long did the boycott last ! "
"It was riddled to pieces after the bomb
ivas thrown at the Haymarkot. Spies and
iiis ciowd wcro responsible for it. The
Arbeltcr Zeltung used to print columns and
columns every day about the boycott. But
after the bomb was thrown and the gang
ocked < up nothing inoro was done. The
ivholo thing fell through and it 1ms never
been mentioned since. The trouble is , those
men who declare the boycott are worthless
fellows. They have no homes , they live in
boarding houses , and none of them have a
-rood suit of clothes.
