G. April it. i'ii. Mr Harrison would glad'y, it is believ- ed, ahand m the vole ImiiUng tour up i 1 which he starts to-morrow if he could coitsisieiuly do so. There are several reasons for this condition of mind on his pat t. When this tour was first suggested he expected to be able to carry w ith bin a prominent party, includiug a majority ma-jority of the cabinet and several Sena-ton Sena-ton mid Representatives, but as the time drew p.ear to start he had the experience ol ttte biblical character who gave an en-tertaiiinient en-tertaiiinient all had excuses to prevent their going Mr McKinley.for whose special spec-ial benefit the Canadian reciprocity tall; has been postponed until after the Ohio eleclion m October, would have made a iUrtractioti for the party, but his own presH-utial aspiration are so fully devel-ope devel-ope H"d he has such an exaggerated idea ''tis political importance that he wotill tot consent to play second fiddle to Mlv.arrison. Biilnerhaps, what worries Mr Harrison Harri-son il,:re than all other causes is his ovetl, elming jealousy of Mr Iilaine, who I. tlnaks has already gained moie notorfdiy than he is entiitled to through his connection with the administration. H feirs that Mr Blame will do some-thng.while some-thng.while he is away to increase that iiotonety.and although he hits Mr Blame? protnse to stand aside aud allow him to he reiiomiiiate'l if he can be, he doubls his sincerity and is afraid of him. It is believed that Mr Blaine is fully aware of . thestateof Mr Harrison's mind, and tiiai-.leiiioys it. Th'''i'it intention of Mr Blaine to "'fcitrrfi 'present condition of the UaTaircfftCTtion with an inpenetrable air A ij:y9iery is having a bad effect. He refused to give out an information, even to stating whethe. he had sent the answer answ-er to'udini's last dispatch. From other soii-Ji it is learned that a draft of that ans ivirf w as read at a cabinet meeting lastTlek and approved by those pres-ent, pres-ent, hut if it ban been sent it went -bv nu'l to our minister at Rome, because, if it lrd been cabled ovel die Italian papers pa-pers would not persist in spying that Kud ui had notified Mr BUine of Ins attention at-tention to bieak offall diplomatic relations rela-tions witii the United Stales if be did ir, get a satisfactory answer by Tues-tfitLof Tues-tfitLof tins week. Tins last of course is a bit ol buncombe that is feared by no-bodv no-bodv Nevertheless. Mr Blaine's refusal to make pahhc thai dispalclt of Rudm.'s has caused many people to believe that it was not of such a cuiicilimory natute as ueJhave been led to believe it was by the cble synopsis ail the information we ever got concerning it. Americans are not toiul ol mysteries either in their pub-lx pub-lx or 1 rivate afla.r.s, and Mr Elaine would better take them into his own con fulence. Mr Harrir-on attempt to placate the d.sgtuiitel negroes is not a brilliant sue-ces. sue-ces. He appointed a negroe H G Parker;, Park-er;, ol missouri, to be alternate Commissioner Commis-sioner at large tor the Columbian exposition, expo-sition, but the negroes ate worse than ever, because at the same time, he appointed ap-pointed a white man, K W Furnas, of Nebraska, to be a Commissioner at-large They say that if Mr Harrison wished to recognize the negroe lie should have appointed ap-pointed him Com ssioner and the white - .wu alternate as the negroes had no representative on the comission, and the alternate is simply a fifth wheel, unless for some reason the Commissioner tor whom he is alternate becomes unable to se,ve- . , , 1 1 Republicans wink knowingly. When anybody says anything about Secretary Tracy declared intention of conducting the working forces at the various navy yards without regard to partisan politics. Mi Tracv may be perfectly honest in his intentions but either the republicans do not believe it or they think they can out wit him. They certainly do not believe iu giving up the Navy Yard patronage. Secretary Foster has gone to New York to take a hand personally in making mak-ing a Harrison machine of the Federal office holders in that city. That's one ot the things he went into the cabinet to do. Again it is thought that a successor to U S Treasury Huston has been cotrall ed. This time it is Mr E N Ncbecker, of Iudiana.a gentleman supposed to be in-, fluential with the Germans 111 that State and able to off-set any advers 'inlluenc--rc-i which Mr. Huston mav be disposed to attempt to ine against Ms Harrison's re nomination. |
