NEW YoitK , May 29. The Tribune of to
day publishes the following letter from Mr.
Dlalno :
Paris , Mny 17,1888 Whitclnw Reid , Esq. ,
Editor of the New York Tribune , Now York
- Dear Sir : Since my return to Paris from
BOUthcrn Italy on the 8th inst. , I have
learned ( what I did not before believe ) that
my nnmo may yet bo presented to the na
tional convention an a candidate for the pres
idency of the republican party. A singlet
phrnso of my letter of .Tnnuary 26.from Flor
ence , ( which was decisive of everything I
lind personal power to decide ) lias been
trcatcil by my most valued friends ns not ab
solutely conclusive in ultimate nnd
possible contlngcnalcs. On the other
hand friends equally devoted nnd
disinterested have construed my letter ( as it
should bo construed ) to bo nn unconditional
withholding of my nnmo from the national
convention. They have in consequence given
their support to eminent gentlemen who nro
candidates for the Chicago nomination , some
6f whom would not , I nm sure , have con
sented to assume that position if I had do-
Blrcd to represent the party in the presi-
dcntlal , contest of 1838. If I should now by
speech or by silence , by commission or omis
sion , permit my name , in any event , to come
before the convention , I should incur the reproach
preach of being uncandid with these who
have always been candid with me. I
speak , therefore because I nm not
willing to remain in ft doubtful
attitude. I nm not willing to be the cause of
misleading a single man among the millions
who have given mo their suffrages nnd their
confidence. I am not willing that oven ono
of my faithful supporters in the past should
think mo capable of paltering in n double
sense with my words. Assuming that the
presidential nomination could by any possi
ble chance bo offered to me , I could not ac
cept it without Icnvinir in the minds of thou
sands of men the impression that I had not
been free from indirection , and there
fore I could not accept it at nil.
The misrepresentations of malice have
no weightbut the Just displeasure of friends
T could not patiently endure. A republican
victory , the prospects of which grow bright
er every day , can bo imperilled only by a
lack of nnitp in council or by acrimonious
contest over men.
The issue of protection is incalcuably
stronger nnd greater than and man , fpr it con
cerns the prosperity of the present and of
generations yet to come. Were it possible
for every voter of the republic to sco for him
self the condition of recompense of labor iu
Europe , the * party of free trade in the
United States would not receive the
support of ono wage-worker be
tween the two oceans. It may
not bo directly In our power as philan-
tbropihts to elevate the European laborer ,
but It will bo a lusting stigma upon our
statesmanship if wo permit the American
laborer to bo forced down to the European
level , and in the end rewards of labor every
where will be advanced if wo steadily refuse
to lower the standard at homo. Yours , Very
sincerely , JAMES G. BLAINE.

WASHINCITON , Mny 29. [ Special Telegram
( oTnc BEE. ] No ono in Washington puts
any stress on the announcement mudo in nn
interview with cx-Sctiutor Allen G. Thtir-
man of Ohio , published to-day , to the effect
that ho docs not want the vice presidential
nomination. Mr. Thurman's friends in
Washington say positively that ho has con-
rented to the use of his name In
ho St. Louis convention , and that ho
will bo nominated ; that ho docs not do-
ellno the nomination In udvunco nnd that ho
will accept. They point with n good deal of
satisfaction to the fact that nowhere
In the Intorvloxv does Mr. Thurinun
htato that ho will not accept the
nomination if it Is tendered to him. LJoth of
this evening's papers contain interviews and
comments on the nnuounccment that Judge
Thjirmnn is to bo nominated for the vice
presidency , nnd both concede that ho will
likely bo the nominee. They say that the
friends of Governor Gray , of Indiana , nro
growing very uneasy nt the proportions
which the Thurjimn.movement is assuming
nmJ that they nro endeavoring to check it.
Grny'a ' friends contend that Judge Thurmnn
is too pld for the nomination and that it
nught not to bo mudo for the reason that
thcro Is no ehuuco for carrying Ohio for the
democratic ticket , while Indiana may bo so-
rured with Gray on the ticket.
Thcro is a powerful Inllucnco behind the
Thurman boom , The P.iyno combination in
Ohio , the Whitney and administration influ
ence in Now York , and what seems to bo
almost n solid south nro demanding Thur
man , uud-tmloss ho reconsiders and states
positively that ho w'.ll not accept the nomina
tion under liny condition of circumstances ,
ho will undoubtedly bo the nominee. Gray's
friends in Washington uro very angry over
the spontaneous boom for Thurmnn , and say
they will go to St. Louis nnd demand tliu
nomination of Gray , ami tlmy threaten to let
the organization in'Indiana go to the dogs if
ho IH not nominated , Not moro than
half the Indiana Democrats in Wash
ington nro really in favor of the
nomination of Gray. Only two or three of
t ho delegation in t no house want him nomi
nated , Representative Mntsun is the only
irombcr from the state who will go to the
Kt , Loiiln convention to vote for the gover
nor's nomination , whllo others will do all
they can from this end of the line to dcfcut
him.
him.Tlio
Tlio suggestion of the name of Ex-Scnutar
Thurman us a candidate for vice president
Is said to Have come from the white house.
It is at least true , and everybody knows it
to bo bo , that thcso who are most intlmuto
with tlio , president and uru most likely to
t > i e.il : lib mind , are in favor of Thurnnin's
nomination nnd urga it in the strongest
terms. Mr. Scott , of Pennsylvania ,
Mr. Morgan , of Maryland , and others
pro wonting the Thurman boom ,
nnd with such men in charge of a movement
it is pretty liltoly to bo approved at the
wluto homo. Some of Senator Thurinau's
old friends do net like the idea at all. They
pay tlmt ho Ib net only too venerable , but tia
big n man to 1 > o put ut the tail of the ticket.
They cite the fact that he was , \ member of
congrufas when Cleveland was u baby in f.raib ;
that no was chief Justice of tlm supreme
court of Ohio before Mr , Cleveland was ad
mitted to the bar ; that ho was for twulvo
years the democratic leader in the
Senate before Cleveland's name was
fcnown outside of tlio city of Buf-
Iulo ; and that although his years
Broquita advanced , ho still has too much
ability , and ton much dignity to lake the
second place on tha ticket. They hold that
U Is too much of a draft on the party loyalty
of 0 eminent and vuluublo a nun. and that
It is too- much Ilka cold > potiUoo buslucbi.
Uut it Senator Thunnan \Ullfng to uC-
ccot the nomination there docs not seem to
bo any reason why ho should not hnvo it ,
Civil Service Hol'orinorH Meet.
Nr.w YOUK , May 29. The National civil
service reform league commenced Its annual
session to-night by n mass meeting rt Chick-
crlng hnll. Everett P. Wheeler presided.
Hon. Gcorgo William Curtis was intro
duced , Mr. Curtis' remarks In substance
were devoted first , to n comparison of the
abuses during the reign of the Stuarts nnd
the present condition tinder the system Of
reform ; second , to tracing abuses of
similar character from Washington's
administration up to the present time. Ho
went on to say : The course of American
history docs not depend upon presidents , but
upon the people. Of that fact even the
managers of the nominating conventions are
awnre , nnd therefore , although they detest
civil service reform nnd insist that It is cx-
tlnet , I venture to predict thnt ono of the
great conventions which will soon assemble
will praise the president for his fidelity to
reform and the other will denounce him ns
chief of the sinners against it ,
each party assuming not Unit reform
Is dead , but what is perfectly true , that It is
moro ullvo than ever before. Party plat
forms nro valuable not so much for what they
say as for what they indicate. Ho snld thnt
when Mr. Jcnckcs , of Rhode Island , twenty
years ago , spoke In Now York to n few per
sons In the chapel of the university upon re
form in the civil service ho was like Pnul in
Athens declaring thounicnown God. To-day
thcro has been for six years n law of con
gress embodying his views. In the white
house thcro is a president elect
ed because ho held those views.
Ho then enunciated the reforms
created by the league slnco its
organization seven years since , dwelling nt
length upon the question of the tnellplbility
of the president for n second term. Ho said
it would bo becoming the work of the league
to hnvo enacted such a law which would at
the sumo time extend the term to six years.
Ho quoted President Cleveland's letter of
acceptance in 18b4 , in which the latter referred
to the election of n president to bo his own
successor ns a great danger to the people ,
Mr. Curtis , however , qualified thcso remarks
ns follows : "Tho tendency nnd temp
tation which in the mere prospect
the president depicts in these de
cisive nnd accurate words , actual
experience has doubtless proved to him to bo
stronger nnd moro scductlvo than ho imag
ined. "
Referring to the soldiers whoso graves
were to bo decorated to-morrow , ho con
cluded as follows : "Those conventions also
may well heed the memory of thnt host of
heroes whoso graves to-morrow will bestrewn
strewn with ilowcrs. In no country was
there n moro beautiful benediction upon pa
triotism or n moro touching tribute of
national gratitude. It was country , not
party ; it was duty , not ambition ; it was lib
erty nnd union for which they made the
costly sacrifice. They were patriots to
whom America meant not only nationality
and justice nnd equality nnd obedi
ence to law , but also political
progress , the righting of public
wrongs , the ability of the people to sco their
own errors and constantly to strengthen , by
purifying their own government. They died
to servo these great ends. Let us live to
servo them as wo scatter flowers upon their
graves , lot us baptize ourselves in their spirit ,
and with their abiding faith in the people ,
seeing everywhere the signs that the Amer
ica of their hope shall be the America of our
children. "
After too mass meeting a business meeting
with closed doors was held.

Calafornin delegation , having joined them at
Kansas City. Miss Frances Willard is also

night from the Twenty-third assembly dis
trict association of the centr.il labor party.
A committee was appointed nt the previous
meeting to prefer cliurgos against George ,
nnd to notify him to be present last night to
answer to the allegations , Mr. George did
not appear , but the charges were preferred.
They specified that Mr. George had visited
Washington and immediately afterward ad
vocated affiliation of the united labor with
the democratic party ; that ho hud dis
tinctly stated , contrary to the constitution
of the united labor party that ho would vote
for President Cleveland , although ho had
previously denounced him as n corruptlonist :
that ho had been guilty of wilfull endeavor
to cast discredit on the organization by call
ing It nn annex of tlm republican party , nnd
that he hud called the united labor party u
paper organization. The committee there
fore advised that the following resolution H
bo passed , and they were unanimously
adopted :
Resolved , That wo consider the course
pursued by Henry Gcorgo a/j n member ot

every principle of u gentleman , and his
action that of u traitor , mid not desiring his

National Committee MattcrH.
WASHINGTON , May 23. Chairman Hatch ,
of the house committee on ngriculturo , yes
terday appointed the following subcommittee -
tee , to which boa been referred the Butter-
worth lardlno bills and the various amend
ments that have been offered to it , looking to
the prevention of food adulteration ! Bur
nett of Massachusetts , chairman , Stohal-
nicker of Now York , Davidson of Alabama ,
Conger of lown , and Laird of Nebraska.
The fiub-committco has been instructed to
report a bill covering the latter to the com
mittee.
The democratic members of the committco
on ways and means have had under consider
ation the amendment proposed by Springer
of Illinois to place upon the free list such
articles on the dutiable list ns are
controlled ns to their product nnd
price by trusts and combinations ,
but did not report upon the subject
to the caucus , It is understood tha commit
tee is-adverse to the proposition , although It
recognizes the necessity of legislation which
will prevent the perpetration of the pool sys
tem. The argument against the Springer
amendment is that it will bo prcjudical to the
interests of the manufacturers of the articles
who hnvo not entered into the trust nnd it Is
probable that nn amendment will bo re
ported placing nn international revenue tax
upon such dutiable articles uiudu by manu
facturers who have entered Into trusts. It
is yet undecided whether the internal tax
will bo levied to the extent of Import duty , it
being i-onsidered by some that a tax to the
extent of M ) per cent of the customs duties
will bo sufficient to prevent the formation of
combinations.

Four of the engineers were nccordtngly nr-
rested nnd all arrangements made to speed
ily convict them of assaulting "n senb" llrc-

the B. & M , managers on hand to
assist in the work when the cnso came
up before Squire Jones. Word had been
sent from Lincoln that a conviction wns de
manded nnd nil efforts were being put forth
to the desired end.
The fact was , the affidavit filed was an
open perjury , but the B. & M. were deter
mined to sliow the striking engineers that
this country belonged to the railroads and
thnt the brotherhood must stand aside nnd
get into the middle of the streets , take off its
hat nnd tnnko n low bow whenever n scab en
gineer or fireman came along. The attorneys
for the brotherhood nt Nebraska City wore
soon on to the deal that was nbout to bo
mndc nnd took the cnso , by change of vcnuo ,
to Edwnrd Plnttner , who resides three miles
in the country nnd the case camo. before him
this morning when the county attorney , who
had lent his efforts to B. & M. influence , ap
peared under direction of his masters -and
dismissed the cases.
The brotherhood members hero are the
most law-abiding citizens of the community.
They have the respect nnd confidence of tlm
people and thcro has been no net done by
them since the strike was inaugurated thnt
can in nny way bo considered in the least
reprehensible. They are being congratu
lated on every hand on their victory over the
B. & M. gang. "Everything is running

The Indian Scare
CitAwroni ) , Neb. , May 29. [ Special Tele
gram to TUB BEE. ] The report that the
Sioux Indians were going to break out has
caused a largo number of families from
southern Dakota to take refuge near Fort
Robinson. The citizens of Crawford were
somewhat surprised this morning to sco n
whole colony pitch their tents nlong the
river north of town. In nn Interview with
ono of the campers it was learned that they

miles from Crawford , and that they nnd been
told by nn Indian who claimed to bo a friend ,
of the whites that there would bo n general
outbreak seventeen days from last Thursday ,
and they brought all thiiir cattle and horses

port was unfounded. They will start back

broken out In a new place along Spring
creek , in this county. Settlers are badly
stampeded , and some thirty or forty families
came into Rapid City to day seeking safety.
As many more are said to have gone to Her-
mosii. This scare is caused by the experi
ence of a rancher named Mike Qulnn , who
went on the reservation nfter some cattle. A
party of Sioux from the Pine Ridge agency
stopped him nnd would not allow him to re
move the cattle. No threats were innilo
other than to order Quinn on" the reservation.
Ho wns told to return about the middle of
Juno and the Indians would help him drive
tlio cattle off the reserve. He spread the
news along Spring creek nnd frightened
the people badly. The demand for arms nnd
ammunition continues. Nearly all the rifles

Lord Salisbury poured vitrollo sarcasm on1
these who did not believe the advance of
Russia towards India was a geographical im
possibility. Said a tory M. P. to mo yester
day : "Tho fact is the Salisbury cabinet
contains too many mediocre men. The once-
familiar fur overcoat of Benconsficld"
hangs loosely on Salisbury. His press anil
his ducal lieutenants even begin to tell him
that the new railway is the first step to the )
formation of n vast depot on the Indian fron
tier as the base of Russian operntions. It is
the first step that brings the Russian empire
not merely to tlio Caucasus but within strik
ing distance of India. Up till now the Russian
army in the trans-Caspian region was cut off.
Now it has a line of communication with
Russia complete. "
Ono tory paper queries to-day : "How
does the government relish the prospect of
Persia becoming a Russian province , and the
Persian gulf a , Russian lake } " An
other commercial organ wearily
says : "Russia will by this railway
have now nn undisputed monopoly of the
markets of eastern Turkestan , western
China , Persia , Afghanistan nnd some of tha
markets of northern India. " A very lending
tory organ thus berates the cabinet : "No
steps arc being taken to recognize the fact
that in three months tiinu Russia may pub
the hey of India in her pocket whenever she ,
pleases. The great event of this railway
makes It plain wo must cither fight Russia of
bribe her. Are our soldiers preparing to do
