MR. BLAINE'S ONLY RECOURSE In No Position to Permit His Name to Be Oonsidered. HOW HIS FRIENDS VIEW THE SITUATION His Previous Utterances On the Subject Bind Him Irrevoeably—-Extracts from His Letters to President Garfield— Pennsylvania for Harrison, FouRTERNTH STREET, w. catoN, D. C., May 6. There are very few mon in Washington to- night who are familiar with political history or the character of the man, who velieve that Mr. Blaine, under any condition of circum- stances, would accept the presidential nomi- nation at tho hands of the Minneapolis con- vention. A score of the most prominent re- publicans at the capital said as much today, , and 1n doing o cited the words of Mr. Blaine himself, written in this city on December 10, 1880, 1n his letter to Prosident Garfield, ac- cepting the portfolio of sucretary of state. n that leitor Mr. Blaine sald in effect that having accepted a cabinet position he was in duty bound to be true to his chief and make the administration of the chief executive so successful that @ second term would o the logic of events. In that letter to President Garfield Mr. Blaine said this: *In your new relation I Wasnixarox Bunreav or Tor Bee, } shall givo all that [ can, and ol that [ am or hope to bo fréely and_ joyfully to your service. You need no pledge of my loyalty. In heart and in act I shoula be false to myself did I not prove truo both to the great trust you cone fide in mo and to your own personal and po- litical fortunes in the presentand in the future. Your administration must bo made brilliantly successful and strong in the con- fidence and prido of the people, not at all di- reoting its energies for re-lection and yet compelling that rosult by the logic_of events d by the imporious necessities of the situ- ation " Made His Position Clear. 3 Further along in that letter of acceptance Mr. Blaine placed himself agaiu upon record in opposition to any act such as it is proposed that he shail commit by eitter suffering tho uso of his name in convention to thwart the renomination of his chief or aceapting the nomination, if it should bo tendered him un- solicited, while he was a member of the cabi- net. Mr. Blaine wrote th ever much, my dear Garfield, [ might ad- mire you s a statesman I would uot enter your cabinet if I aid not believe you as a man and love you as a friend.” In that lettor Mr. Blaine at somo length described how his fortunes were those of his chief, the president, and how he intended to give all of his heart, devotion and ‘ambition 10 the personal as woll as political interests of the president. After these expressions, 1f there was nothing efse in the way, it 15 not believed Mr. Blaine would think of accepting the nomination under existing circumstances. Meis for very many ressons, and above all, personal chioice and 1nclination, entirely out of the question, His best and most in- telligent friends declaro that should he be nominated he would promptly decline, and many of them go further and say he will have this stateraent made in_convention. In 1888 it will bo rememberod Mr. Blaine wrote # lottor declining the nomination, When it was insisted thathe should accept and ho ressed to do so_while the convention was in sossion, Mr. Blaine wrote a second letter as follows: “Iam not willing that even oce of my faithful supporters in the past should think me capable of paltering in a double sense with my words. Assuming that the presi- dential nomination could by any possibly chance be offered to mo I could not accpt without leaving in the minds of thousands of these men the impression that 1t had not buen free from indirection, and therefore 1 could not accept it at all After the utterances quoted in those two lettors it is not thought vossible Mr. Blaine would accept the nomination if tendered at the Minneapolis convention even though President Hurrison stould withdraw, and that is altogether out of the question. Pennsylvania Not Against Harrison. “Don’t you let anybody persuade you that Pennsylvauia is against Hurrison simply be- causo a few politicians _are opposing his re- nomination,” said Reptesentative John Eogar Revburn of Philagelphia to Tur Bee correspondent this afternoon. Mr, Reyburn represents the district so long reoresentea by the late Judge Willlam D. Keily of tariff fame and is therefore a republican with solid backiog. Mr. Reyburn continued: “Itis my judgment that nine-tenths of Pennsylvania would vote for Harrison's renomication 1f the question were submitted to & popular vote today. Let me see, [ cannot remembver _wsingle republican among all my coustituents who 15 opposed to the president. What have Yey to complain of anyway 1" “How about Mr. Blaino in Pennsylvania, an original Blaine state!”’ “Mr. Blaine is out of the question. He will not be nominated.” *But what if he should be nominated by some hook or crook “Well,” replied Mr. Reyburn, with me: ured words, “he wonld never accept. Mr. Blaiue 15 too honorable a man to accept the presidential nomination so long as bhe was in tho cabinet ‘and tho president was even an implied aspirant for renomination. He could not accept. Even bis enemies would say it whas dishonorablo in him, after haviug re- mained in the cabinet and accepted the good graces of tho president.” “Do you think he will say anything further on the subject? No Time for Further Denials. Y1 do not. He can’t undertake to come out with a denial of everything that is said un- true about him. If be dia he would have no time to eat or sleep. Public men of his prominence must aot enter into un oocupa- tion of denials. Tue people ure for Harrison. Ho is the strongest, ablest man in the party and the party very seldom makes o mistake In its nominations: There is scarcely a dele- gate from Pennsylvania who will refuse to support him in the convention," ] regard our state delegation as practi- cally if not absolutely solid for the renomina- tion of tho president, and I bave not the least doubt that he will heaa the ticket again this year,” said Representative Groat, one of Vermont's leading republicun: **Ver- mont supported Harrison in 1558 and she has soen no reason for deserting him, He bas made an_unblemished administration. One of my Vermont correspondents in writing me only tho other day observed that Fresi- dent Harrison had already whipped two for- eign nations, and without firlug a gun, He ~em__Tefurred to the masterly manner in which “%he president conducted the Chilian ana Ber- ing sea disputes.

DEs MoiNgs, la,, May 26.—[Special Tele- gram to Tie Bee,|—The jury in the case of the government against John C. Newton, vice president and general manager of the Des Moines & Kansas City railroad, churgea with conspiracy to pad the mails to defraud the government, which went out shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, had not returned a verdict up to a late hour this evenng. At 10:30 this morning tho jury sent word to Judge Woolson that they de- sired to communicate with him and were brought into court. The foreman ina docu- ment presented to the juage announced that they wanted further, or at least more spac- ific’ instructions. The point about wkich they wero in doubt ias, in substauce, whethor in reviewing the testimony and shaping the evidence with & view to finding a verdict, the jury could consider the remail- ing tho packages of old papers at Cainsville by Oxford as evidence of conspiracy. Judge Woolson, in about ten pages of man- uscript, touched upon matters closely allied to this point, and in substance instracted the jury thav they mignt so consider. ‘The jury then retired. The prisoner looked very much dejected aftor the jury retired, but became more confident of a disagreement as the hours again passed. At 3:30 p. m. the jury sent word to the court that thoy had a report o make, and the attorneys wers sent for, but could not ail be found. The general opinion is the jury will disagree. The jury at 10 o’clock returned a verdictof not guilty. Opposed to Sunday Opening. Cepar Rarips, Ia.

GOVERNOR BOYD'S ELOQUENT ADDRESS Judge Lambertson Reviews the Territorial and State History—Eulogies of the Pi- oneers and Their Work—Features of the Celebration, Lxcory, Neb,, May 26.—[Special to Tar Bee, |—The most enthusiastic citizen of Lin- coln could have wished for no fairer weather for today’s silver celebration. It was simply perfect. The forenoon exercises were carried out according to program. A large con- course of people assembled at the state house grounds to listen to the orations of Governor Boyd and Hon. G. M. Lambertson. After music and_the usual prelimiuary exeroises Governor Boyd was introduced ana spoke a3 follows : Governor Boyd's Oration. Fellow Citizens: As the chief exccutive, in the name and on behalf of the generous people of Lincoln, 1 assume the pleasing duty of welcoming you to the ceremonies of the celobration of “the silver anniversary of our history as n state. It is thesilver re- union of the body politic of Nebraska with the sovereigniy of the state. I felicitate you upon tne exalted aspoct of that sovereignty, resting in tho people's will, decreeing noth- 1ng for the neople, but by the peopie, and I tuke great gratification to myself in extend- ing an impartial welcome to each section and valloy, to every county and city and to each hamlet represented by the people here. Thirty-elsht yoars ago now in the pnst, here where you now stund, was found a huge barbaric land, lying prone in a state of nu- ture without a landmark, and without an in- babitant but ample for the homes and nerds and the harvests of a million people. You are the fortunate people; you now have those homes; the herds are yours and you have the harvests, You have gathered, too, and have added to these every other element of wealth that les within'the grasp of a Christian people. Science has given up to you her mysteries and art has lent ber dex- terous haud to add to your wealth and in- crease your prosperity. 1 see before me in the audience some fow friends and wneighbors of the territorial period; then squatier sovereigns of high rank, now reigning citizens of the stato. And 1n years to come let the grandeur of our state be what it may, back to you and they who first liftea it out of asavage do- main, the heart will always turn with senti- ments of gratitude and love. The prosperity of the first decade wus not uniformly equal or continuous. There were seasons of warfare: of hardshivs and de- pression. The frontier scttler, whilo he gave thunks on bended knees, rose up be- times and smote the aborigines; and oft- times ho contended with the plague and the pestilence. But these visitations and vicis- situdes gradually passed away, and the state of Nebraska at length, on the’ first day of March, 1867, took her place in congress, as a soverelgn state, bearing that symbol of jus- tice, “Equality before the law.” From a population of 83,000 1n 1867 to 1,050, 000 in 1800; from 130,000 head of domestic ani- mals then to 10,174,000 now; from an assessed valuation of §20,000,000 at that period to one of §250,000,000 at the present time; from 200 miles of Trailway twenty-five vears ago to 5,500 operated today, is & brief story of in- ternal development and growth found in the progress of no other state. Five years prior to the first settlement of the territory but throe states of the union had a larger population than that of Ne- braska today, and it1s safe to hazard the preaiction that before the next general cen- sus her people will number 2,000,000. Today the eyes of the civilized world rest upon this state as & marvel of rapid and enduring growth, And what should be asource of pride o us all is that within its borders is found the highest grade of public education and the lowest percentazo of illiteracy of any commonwealth in the land. From Past to Future, Thus, my fellow citizens. by your fortitude and enterprise; by your industry and wis- dom, tho dust of antigue times, the mold of ancient barbarism, and the last_relic of In- dian savagry, have been swept from the face of this fair land. And if'it shall be ques- tioned whether, with all this euterprise, and its rich results, we have not still the samo greed for gain, ambition to conquer, love of mastery and rule, desire to scheme, and the the play of unruly projudice and ' passion, which have marked the history of other com- munities, to their detriment, "there can be but one answer. Education, the ordinances of morality and Christian endeavor are the essontial elements of society which will pre- serve this nation and this state. While these remain, who shall compete with you in the honors due to a state; and whoin your abundant harvests, your 'enpastured plains and vallegs; your rich balances of trade; your increasing commerce and the expausion and reward of labor. But for one moment a broader view. What is the vitalizing pridciple of our civilization as a nation, and the warrant for its preserva- tion? That warrant is the virtue and the in- telligence of all the people, who, receiving their broad inheritance, enriched in ages past by geology and jts changes, with an opulence of fertiity and mineral wealth, bave transmuted it beyond the dreams of avarice, into manifold values, and have spread their domain from s narrow strip of tho Atlantic, iuto continental proportions, from sea to sea! That principle of civilization 1s the repre- sentative system, which, when executed as prescribed, strikes no name, however hum- ble or dependent, from the peerage of tho American republic. Counstitutional monarchies may boast of colonial rule—as lauds of settled government —of just and uncient renown, and of freedom, broadening slowly from precedent to proce- dent. But they have no popular representa- tion founded on the equalrights of thoe people. It was left to the Amerigan colonies, aloue, a century ago, by 8 written constitution, to erect a landmark and muniment to the tom- ple of equal rights, and to guard it with a force of moral power whirh the strong pas- sions of hostile armies could neither sever nor overcome. Within that landmark and muniment to civil liberty, the composit society of this union has received protection, enjoyed stavlilicy, bas made uniimited pro- gress and has accumulated wealth untold. ‘That union which has defied the tempests of the past century will, under the providence of God, withstand the storms of centuries to come. ‘An ode to ““The Silver Auniversary of Ne- braska,” by Mary Baird Finoch, was then read by Miss Alamena Parker of this city. Hon. G. M. Lambertson was then intro- duced. He delivered an elojuent address of which the following is & brief synopsis. Judge Lambertson's Address. The passing of a fraction of a ceatury, of & geueration of peoplo, since Nebraska entered tho union, bids us to pause aud reflect upon the lesson of its career. If the birthday of an individual is worth the keeping, certainly the silver uatal day of a stawe is deserviug of more than passing note. The advent of the territory iuto statehood, the admission of Nebraska into theunion on a footing with the original thirteen states, the conferrin upon its people of all the rights and privi- leges that attach to a citizen of the groatest of republics, is surely worthy of public rec- ognition, 1f the learned and curious researches of the lamented Savage may be trusted, legend and tradition have woven a romantic story about.the land of Nebraska. 1f ancient myth and fable may be believed, a Spanish general trod this very soil and halted only on the bauks of the Platte where, tired, wi and worn, ho learned that he was pursuiug only tho figment of his fancy; no kingdom, no lace, no habitatlon, no people save wauder- ug nomads, cheered the vision, The view of the vast desert was ouly confined by the stooping skies; the soil seemed sterile, ihe waler alkall and the scorchiug heat ov- pressed the explorer as the simoon of the eastern desert. The seven cities of Ilrnd and tradition proved to be but the allure- ments of the mirage that now and then en- chunted the vision as it threw into relief mouatains, rivers, forests acd beautiful cities with wheir glided palaces. The dream of the Spaniard was not fulfilled, but v the balance of time ceuturies welgh but little, The legend of yesterday is the fact of today. ‘T'he dream of the sdveuturer three times & century ago is the proud reality of breseut. The territory out of which the state was carved is rich lu bistorio luterest. In the BEE M AY 27, 1892, THE MORSE DRY GOODS CO (OW:-STEADILY WE KEEP TO LOW PRICES SUN SHADES.

THE MORSE GOODS RSE DRY year 1763 France ceded the area of country now konown as the Louisiana purchase to Spain, who continued in possessivn uutil the year 1800, when Bonaparte concluded a treaty with Charles IV, by which the entire country was retroceded to France, In 1508, before France had taken formal possession of New Orleans and this vast territory, a grave crisis arose in European affairs; war again threatened the peace of Europe. Fear- ing that England with her superior naval force might deprive Krance of her newly acquired possession, Napoleon, by & quick and briiliant diplomatic feat, placed Louisi- ana beyond the reach of England. Messrs. Monroé and Livingston, representing the United States, purchased this vast extent of territory, fully as large as the thirteen original states, for the comparatively small sum of $15,000,000. Nebraska as Territory, The annals of the early territorial days possess almost romantic .interest.
