HALE AGAINST THE BLAIR EDUCATION BILL. ‘The Senate then resumed consideration of the Blair educational bill, and was addressed by Mr, Hale in opposition. The history of the bill, he Sald, and its discussions in the Senate were most interesting. Unlike some measures which, by their inherent strength, gained support from tme to time until, at last, all opposition disappeared, ‘this bill had developea new antagonism at every stage of 11s consideration, In the Forty-etzhth Congress, when the bill first passed the Seuate, the objections to It had been inainly from Senators whose strict construcvion of ‘Ube Constitution led them to believe Usal ihe pro- Visions Of Une blil Violated fundameutal propost- Uons of Unat great instrument, In the Forty-nivtn Congress the method of distribution of the great Tund covered by tue bill had been assailed. “And ‘the discussions at the present session had shown practical objections Lo the bill wider and deeper, and going to its entire principle.

In this connection he referred to an editorial article In the Portland Press, and to the statements of several distinguished professors of colleges and school leacners in various parts of the country adverse to the bill, noticing particularly the dictum of General Armstrong, of Portsmouth, Va., that the vill would destroy in the Southern States that education which comes trom self-help, House of Representatives.

NAMES FOR THE TERRITORIES. Mr. David Dudiey Field was before the House commitice on territories this morning to protest against the retention of certain of our terntorial names when the territories to which they belong shall become states. On general principles he held that @ country so itch in Indian names as this ought In no case pertetute European names; and he cited New York as about the worst designation that could have been given to a state. Tue only thing he cherished against the memory of Mr. Lincoln was the fact tat he admitted a ‘West Virginian,” when he might have had a Cumberiand ‘or a Kanawha, He pro tested against North and South Dakota as unnecessary and contusing. He objected tw New Mexico because it Was meaningless, except as a remnant of Mexico, He suggested instead Montezuma, holding that the persoaage of that name was the greatest of our aboriginal chiefs, and deserved to have his memory perpetuated, He protested against Washington as likely to lead to contusion, and sugvested ‘Tacoma as Down euphonious and distincuve.

THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE, ‘What Representative Men at the Capi- tol Say About the Hepublican Neul- mation, Atthis time there 1s nothing 90 much tm the minds of the repubilcans in the House as the ques- tion of who shail be their Presidential candidate. ‘They talk of nothing more than this and there ts nothing they areso much in doubt about, The friends of the various other candidates are active in stamping deeper the impression that Mr. Blaine is really out of wae field. ‘Those who favor sher- man, the friends of Gen. Sheridan, of Gresham, of Allison, of Hawley, and the rest, are gathering about their men and age | each to turn the advantage from Mr. Blaine’s withdrawal toward his favorite. The Sherman men are probably bet- ter organized, if not more numerous, than the others. For each of the other candidates there are Mier ready tO Work W! a will, The ticket of “Greshato and Hawley” Is often Sugyested. All son is constantly spoken of as the “heir to the Blaine boom.” ‘A MAN TO WIN WANTED. But probably the most numerous class 1s of those who want, above all things, a man who can be elected, and who are ready to Jump to the support of any man whom they become convinced could carry the country.

Cutcheon, of Michigan, who rather favors the ticket of Gresham and Hawley, says he thinks from this on there will be great activity among the Presidential candidates and there wili be many sudden happenings, “Everything will be doue quickly now,” he said. “There will be happenings ih quick ‘succession.

David Koss Locke was born at Vestal, Broome County, New York, September 10, 1833, and hence was in his fitty-fitch year. His father, N. R. Locke, a vet eran of the War of 1812, 1s still living tn this city at the advanced age of ninety-fouryears, The fateer Was one of the original anti-siavery men of the country, and young Locke inherited intense hatred ofthe “peculiar institution” and love of ireedom which made lim such a power with his pen during the civil war.
