Tlio most tioUhle cll'oct of the lircM-nce of the national committee and the delegations of prominent republicans from the cities licit wanted the convention was the un mistnkahle lllaine aroiuu which per vaded the entire town, and which is still hero although the visitors hnvc motly gone home. If this tueiiH anything it means that Mr. Blaine will next year Ih-cuiiu the nominee of his party, unless he Ksitivoly re fuses the honor. Whether ho will do that or not is a iiestion. He was given lots of opjiortuuitii's to deline his osition this week, when he was called on hy every rejiuhli can of prominence who was in the citv, hut he savs nothing, wh'le those close to him sav that he will accept the nomination if it comes to him with anything like unanimity. Meanwhile, President Harrison is still in the field, and his friends re gard the selection of Miuui'asihs lor the convention as a victory for him, hut just why they do so is pti.zling to ordinary jieojile, as the MinneajKilis and St. I'attl delega tions that were here were all Blaine men, and they did not hesitate to say that nobody else was "in it," so far as Minnesota was concerned. President Polk of the national farmers' alliance exjircsses the inter esting opinion that the democratic and rejiahlican parties are on the verge of coalescinc;, and he cites as torroherative testimony editorials in leading democratic ncwsiaK'rs favoring the reelection of Senator Sherman. Col. Polk said: "1 would suggest that the democrats nominate Cleveland ami Ilariisou and the re publicans Harrison and Cleveland next vear. In that way Wall street would he certain of compassing its ends, for both urtics are under its domination." When asked uhat nrosjiect there was of the alliance having a candidate of its umi Col. Polk reiilied: "Well, the meeting to In held on the '-''Jnd of next Feb ruary, robubly at St. Louis or Cin cinnati, instead of here, as at first projKised, will decide that iUettion." The alliance in the eighth Vir ginia congressional district, jtlnt across thr river from Washington, is running a candidate against the deinucrat ho vwir. nominated to succeed the Into Ueiresentalive Lou. The alliance men suy they were un justly tieated hy the democratic committee, and thev jirotxtsc light ing hack, and they have been prom ised republican upurt. The cam paign will he short, as the election will taku place Dec U. hut the active participation of Representatives Jerry Siinsoii, Clover, Watson, Dunning and Ralph Beaumont, of Now York, and Farmer, of Texas, will make it a lively one. A delegation consisting of A. A. Carney , chairman of the anti-monopoly league; Dr. John Creighton, president of the working woman's jiroteetive league; T. C. McGuire, chairman of the independent labor jiarty, and John W. Kcogh, chair man of the New York silver league, called on President Harrison this week and reiiiested him to recom mend to congress the ajijMiintmeiit of a labor commission to consider and rcjxirt Usni remedies for evils that exist in our present industrial system. Mr. Harrison jiroinised to consider the reiiu ft. Wire pulling must soon give way to votes in the HjHKikcrship contest None of the candidates aside from Mills and Ciisji, will give any figures showing tlio votes they cxjiect to get.

Although it ii denied there are go.nl reasons for Isclieving that Mc.Millin is jirojiared to withdraw in Mill's favor the tins mcnl it Ix-coines aiiarent that such a withdrawal will result in Mill's nomination. . . A eitsi' has just Iii-'li decided in th i ir. u t c inrt in Waco county which will I e of ililere-t to sheep owner nnd csjncially to imn hold iiiff mortgages on sheeji. Two yean ago S.

Slurp Cain,; t Mutton. A Portland wool merchant was sjictiking about the situation of wool in general throughout the country and in Oregon in particular. ife said- "We have no such amount of wool in this section as we used to have, nor, is it the same in any part of the country. Sheeji arc go ing to mutton too fast. People arc liecoming enormous mutton eaters. Mote stoek is reared now than ever before, it is true, but it goes to the butchers. It is one of the reasons why Australia has Mich large wool interests in this country. Sheep are reared and kept in that country, and year after vear furnish their share of wool ami progeny. There if no moll consumption of mutton there as here. We will either evontuallv have to stop kill ing oil' so much of our livestock, or else make uji our minds to play second fiddle to Australia on tho wool proMsition." Prices are tl to 17 cents for ICast em Oregon, and l.'i to IS cents for vallev wool. A iiiau Uiiight a loaf of bread of a l.ewmlon baker the other Satur day night, says the Journal of that town, and finding that he could not eat it all up he tisik hack part of it the following Monday and nsked to have it exchanged for hot biM-tiits. "1 f that don't beat all," remarked the baker, "and the man has much of this world's goods too." The ba ker did not exchange. He is nearly eipi.il to the Albany man who buys five, cents worth of sugar at a tiino. I HICKS OF aHOW.MCH, l.ll.ll.IllMZ it Villi! ..Un (ran, Wrl. Wlo. Nj, ok,, i:.i;ltl) lllll'lltlr.
