This belief Is based upon pri vate utterances made" recently by Mr. Blaine and bis expressions ot general principles as be laid them down In bis latter to President Oarlinld In 1SSO , hU second letter of 1SSS and various other utterances. In his second letter of 1SS3 , addressed to Mr. Wbltelaw Hold and bearing date of Paris. May IT , Mr. Blaine , after expressing regret ana surprise that tbo positive state ments ol his Florence letter had boon appar ently willfully misinterpreted to moan that bo might accept , the nomination under possl- bio contingencies , wrote this : "If 1 should now , bv speech or by slleuco , by commUslon or omission , permit my name In any event to come before the conven tion , I should Incur the reproach of being tncandid with these who have nhvavs been candid with mo. I speak , there fore.'because I am not willing to remain In n doubtful attitude. I am not willing to bo tbo caoso ol Inducing a wrunglo among the mil lions who have given mo their suffrage and tnrir confidence.11 Other expressions In the same direction * - " > fccro glvon In these dlspatchoa last t'igbt , so that Mr. Blaine is positively mid specifically committed against a nomination under tbo L'Usting circumstances. Many republicans today added their belief that tbo renomlna- lion of the president was not only certain but that it was tbo lociu of past events and futuru expectations. ( ; < ! ! oral lluwlrj-'n Vlonrn. General Joseph II. Howley of Connecticut , one of the most powerful republlc-ins in tno senate , Is one of tboso who beliuvu tbo dele gates at Minneapolis will canvass the fluid with only the treed of tbo party and country in view , and ill not let personal prejudices or machinations of individual politicians sway them in reaching their conclusions. Ho said toduy : "The nominee must bo a winner. This Is the object the convention will have in view. Wo can only win with a man who has the fullest confidence of the poople. Mr. Blaine Is a great statesman , but bo is out of the question. 1'resiuent Harri son bos been accorded tbo nomination by common consent , but objections have been cnleied of law by seine who object to him solely on personal grounds. I do not believe principle should go down for animosities purely porsonnU President Harrison has proved blmsclt a most cnnablo cabinet officer In all ot tbo positions under him. "Ho has been tested thoroughly as the chief of tbo cabinet. His state papers have been perfect. Thu ma.inor in which tbo for eign disputes were bandied undur his direc tion emphasized his administration 03 being thnrouctilv American and slronclv rcnubll- can. We want a campalgu founded upon lasting strength. President Harrison will bo weakest on tbo day of bis renomination. There will be daily growtn In strength , pop ularity and cnlb'jsta m and the events of 16-53 will bo duplicated. Tboro was a wide dillurenco between the campaign of 1SS4 and 1883 upon our side. In 18b4 there was immcnso enthusiasm , noise , torchlight processions nnd oratory , moro than ever before , but tboso things seamed to prevent trim close and compact organization , that daily drill of the rank and tile of the party , that thorough consideration of the party principles that appeal to tbo soocr second thought so essential to party success. "Where Harrison Is Strong. "Experienced politicians know that a cam paign of enthusiasm is a dangerous oao for the reasons stated , and also because n time Is sure to como when enthusiasm dies awuy J partially or wholly. That tlmo came about - * * three weeks before the election in 1SS-I , and from that moment defeat was a foregone conclusion. d"In contrast is the campaign ot 1SSS. Tlie nomination ot General Harrison was not received with enthusiasm , but day by day bo grow in popu lar esteem and enthusiasm became in- tcuso in the last three weeks ot tbo cam paign. The result was a glorious victory. Bo i.V wll | bo this year. I have not doubted Tor a moment that tno president would bo rc- pomlnatod. " Senator Felton of California- said today .at the renomination of President Harrison uld bo acceptable to the Pacific slope and was therefore expected.The republicans of California and the conservative men In other parlies , " said the senator , "are well satisfied with tbo administration. 1 expect iho California delegation to sup ] > ort Harri son's renorainatioti. Ours has for many years been a strong Blaine state , but wo have taken Mr. Blaine at his word and regard him as entirely out of the question. Ho Is a part of the administration and as far as wo know will bo n part of the next if Mr. Harrison is elected and wo will get the benefit of bis serviens. Tbo president lias not tailored or buown tbo least falling in anything ho has underUKcn.Vitn him WL nre sure to win. will sweep tbo Pacific slope again and his cenvass will be one without a defense in anv respect' .

[ Special Tele gram to THE BEE. ] It would , perhaps , ba dlftlcult to find twelve sadder , moro self-dis gusted men today than the gentlemen who constituted tbo Jury whlob last night re turned a verdict of acquittal In the case against John C. Newton in the federal court. They are in disgrace In the eyes of the court , and wore this morning discharged from the panel for.tbo term. Snortly after the Jury had returned its verdict last night , and after mooting and congratulating Mr. Newton , they were qui etly approached by Cbarlai S. Newton , nephew of tbo exonerated defendant , aud in vited to attend a little banquet gotten up at a celebration of the victory. Tbo Jurors un thinkingly accepted the invitation and were soon surrounding a heavily laden banquet board with John C. .Newton at the head. Just how Judge Woolson learned ot the revelry of the Jurors during the night will , perhaps , never bo known , but bo did find It outand , when court opened at 10 o'clock this morning ho ordered the Jury brought before htm and sent for Mr. Nowton. When they appeared ho delivered a severe rebuke. Ad dressing Mr. Newton , bo said be regretted exceedingly that the law gave him no power to punish him for contempt and if it were allowable ho would now , after Iho escapade of last night , sol aside the verdict and order him on trial again. Ituhukpil the Jury. Mr. ivauffman offered as a defense to the affair that neither Mr. Newton nor the Jurj meant any disrespect to the court or realized that it was Improper. Turning to the Jury men the court then eave them a decidedly severe scoring , dwelling upon the impropriety of their attending a feast prepared by a man they bad tried nnd acquitted of a serious charge , ana its effect upon the public morals and what it would lead to. ' 'It a precedent I ? established , " sold the Judge , "that a banquet is to bo given to a Jury by tbe successful litigant in the trial of mon of great wealth , It would soon become so that a poor man could not obtain Justice. " Since this Jury has so seriously misbe haved the court could uot ask any litigant to tone them as Jurors , and ho ( the court ) therefore ordered tbut they bo discharged from the panel for tbo terra because of im proper conduct. The jury took the lecture nnd their dis missal greatly to heart , and after some re flection tbe court decided to rescind that part of their scntonco which discharged thorn for "Improper con duct , " leaving tbo record to snow that tboy bad merely been dismissed. The jurors are : George Howard , Oskaloosa ; Calvin Ovcrlon , Carlisle ; S.Young , Nevada ; J. M. Bly , Adel ; H. M. PIcKoll , Des Moines ; D. B. Mott , Des Moines ; Ucorgo Sloan , C. C.

Bradstreot's weekly review of the stock market runs thus : Tbo actual market for some time post has been entirely in the hands of tbo professional Wall street contingent. Tboso operators and their followers , not only hero , but in Lon don and Chicago , have been bearish to a man , and were unduly elated by the recent successful campaign against Northern Pa cific , The result o ! this was exaggerated bear selling and the creation of a short In terest , which Is naturally rendered timid and apprehensive. Tbo rositivo strength exhibited In western railroad stocks was due almost entirely to purchases to cover short contracts. The movement was assisted to some slight extent by outside buying in tbe coal stocks which % vcre , in tbo middle of tbe week , the strongest portion of the list ; otherwise tbo public gave no sign and the ex treme ease of money icoms ineffectual to arouse any speculative feeling. Europe , too continues indifferent , the only marked fea ture being tbo absence of tbo disposition to sell our stocks which has prevailed so long in London. A slight rise in exchange at tbo close ot tbe week attracted some attentlot and raises the possibility of further cold shipments , the strenctb of sterling bills on Friday making such action even moro likely. HearUh Preiiuro Kxorted. Tbo grangers were naturally the centra element in tno market. Bearish pressure was exerted without remission upon Rock Island , Burlington and Missouri Pacific , the weakness of tbe latter stock attracting at tention and giving rise to rumors that iho Gould party were actively engaged on the boar side. Tbe latter part ot the week , however - over , developed rallying tendencies In these stocks , ox well as in St. Paul and other mem bers of the group. The coal stocks were the bull feature- Reports that the Reading statement for April would bo extremely ncrconblo in char acter led to heavy buying of that Mocfc and these of other members of the "eomblno. " The actual results \vcro on their face some what disappointing , the g.nln iu surplus for the month being only (111,000. It must , however. Do considered that the policy ot restricting production , while beneficial la Its ultimate effects , must necessarily proJuca n tcmporarv Influence on earnings.

Sprclnl Mood Art lce . Special advices to Bradstreel's from re gions atfeclca more seriously by Hoods , point to an aggregate loss in five states of JOJ.OOO- 000 , which Includes damage to railway property - orty , destruction of , or damngo to levees , to farm buildlngi , machinery , live stock and crops , as wall as loss on other proportv.

Scrofula , Symptoms. This disease has many forms ; such as , painful sores , unsightly eruptions , cancerous humors , swelling of the glands , particularly of the neck , hard kernels about the neck ( these are felt under the skin for months before soreness is experienced ) , diseases of the eyes , nose , ears , lungs , hips , and spine , erysipelas , running sores , abscesses , etc. Scrofula is the most terrible of all blood diseases. The fact that this most virulent poison should exist in the blood should cause great alarm ; and when the appe tite fails , or pain in the back , boils , pimples , or any of the above symptoms appear , the use of some power ful alterative and purifier should at once be com menced. Nature must be assisted to throw off the poisons , and nothing can assist Nature so effectually as Nature's own productions , and for this purpose she has given us , through the Kickapoo Indians , the greatest of all blood purifiers. Kickapoo Indian Sagwa compounded of simple herbs , roots , barks , and flowers , contains no acids or mineral poisons , there fore is absolutely harmless. It thoroughly cleanses the system , and removes the cause of disease. Kickapoo Indian Oil tl.00 bottle. "Pure Blood , tills pain iutlantly , iw ) cure * infUro- Perfect Health.
