New YORK, May 31.—Tho TrOmne jmb-Usln-o ihe fol lowing le t te r f rom Mr. Bla ine i

•• PA m i, Mny 17. IW&-H j ; II, JKF , XWor .V.ir York / r . 4 « n . - M r Dear b i n Blase my rr turn lo Pans from Southern I tolr os tbe *ih lust, 1 hare learned (what I did not bstore believe) that my name may yet be p res sa t s4 lo the Nmional convention aa a c . cd ld t t a for the Presidency by tha Itepubllcan psrty. A single phrsse of ir,y letter of Jaanor r a from Florenre (which was deelslre ot every thing t h .d the penoaa l |>ower to decide) has baea treated by msny ot my most valued f n s a d s as nni iib«olutelr conclusive lo ul t lmsts saA possible coDtiugen'-ies. Oa lbs other baas , friends equally dcvalsd and dls inls tsats4 bare construed my lel tsr (as It ahoalA be constned) lo be an unooadlUona) withbuiding of my nams from Ihs Natlsa> al coiiTeutlon. They bavs la s sas s quence g.van Ihelr support to eminent gentle-men who are c:indldaus fur the Coleogo aomfe nation, s o m e o f n h i / m wonld not. 1 am sure, have consrnted to assnmo that |iosltloD It I bad desired lo teprcsenl Iho par t r m the Preslden-tlal coolest of i m l

•'If I sl.oald no*, by speech or by sllrnce, by commlssloa or om ss'on, permit m r name, IB .ny event, to come before the oonvestloa X should Incur the reproach of be.ng uacandld with thuso who have always beea candid with me. I tpoak. therefore, because I am not w.Uloi to remsm la a doubtful sttl* tui'e. I um nut willing to bo tho oacss ot misleading a s'.ngle man among the mllUeas w!,o havo given tne their suffrages and thstr conUJence. 1 um not willing tha t evsu ons of my faithful supportsrs m the post shoald t t lnk mo capable ot pallerlng la a double sense wuh my wards. As« sumtng thai the Presidontlal aoov •nation could, by ai.y possible cbanee, be offered to me. 1 could not accept ll without leav-ing m the minds of thou- ands of theae man tte Impresalon thi<t 1 had no' been free from ladk rection. and. therefore, I could not acospt It s i all. The mlsn-pr^s'-ntaUons of malloe bare a s weight, but ilia ju-i d spleasure of friends I could notpatienlly -tndure.

" Itcpnb'.icun v,ct.iry. ihe prospects of which grow br.gfater every day, can be Imper led only by lacli of unity In ciunrll or by aorimoalOM contest over m< n. Tlie issue of protsstioa Is to* calculably stronger and greater than any msa , for it eonrerns ibo prosperltyof IhepressntaaA of geneiatlons yet to come. Wets U posslMs for every voter of tho llcpublle lo see f e r h i a ^ self tho condition and ihe recompense of labor in Curope, the party of tree trade In the tTalUA States would not receive the support of s a s woce.worker between the two oesans. I t ssay nol be directly in our powor aa philanthropists ta ' elevate the E iropcan laborer, but It will be a Issllnx stlgmik upon our «iil»smaashlp If * a permit tne American laborer to be forseddows to the Kuronenn level. And, In Ihe end. the re-wards of labor everywhere will bo sdvasced tf wo steadily retusi- lo lower the s iandat4 s i home. Yours, very sincerely,

THE Alger boom is growing rapidly. ' Over 20 piipers In the East have put up | Alger tickets. He is popular in his own ' stale with both rich and poor, to the lat-ter of whom he is a liberal giver. He was a soldier and can have the Grand Army Ducking. Besides, he has some negative merits, si: ;h as nis lack of an enemy making record in National pol-itics. All the governors snd ex-govern-ors of states, who have been recently nominated for President by the great National parties, h-.ve been elected or have been defeated only by some other (tovernor. Then, why not Alger.—Oafc-land (Cat.) Enquirer.

IK the talk of Mr. Blaine's nearest friends and supporiers in Washington is any indication of what the Jeleitates will be at Chicago, It mean-, that a great many of them will be cast for Judge Gresham and Gener&l Alger. Which of these will receive the most of them it is impossible to tell. Of the distinctively Blaine men here In Wash-ington a majority are in favor of Judge Gresham. On the other hand there haa been an impresjion in Washington for a month or two—one of the intangible beliefs that nobody knows the origin of and nobody can give authority for— that Mr, Blaine himself looked with more favor upon Gen. Alger's candidacy than ou that of anyone else. This im-pression, whatever it may be worth, has certainly given strength t-> Gen, Alger's popularity here in Wanbinglon.—Hua/i-ington correspondent Philadelphia I'nts.

ALOBtt has a lead over the others from the fact that he is, next to Mr, Blaine, strongest in Ir'sh circles and on ihe Pacific coast, where he is well known. Added to this, he stands with the volunteer soldiers ana the Grand Army boys generally about where Lo-gan did. Tendaysago when it looked as if Mr. Blaine would remain silent, a strong movement was started here lo induce Gen, Alger lo accept second place on the ticket. Ue waa in the city at the tt=ie and was consulted as to his wishes He declined absolutely, how-ever, to bargain for one place while he was a candidate for another, he declnr • d that i e was in lh>- tight for Iho Pres-idency or nothing. The nland that he to >k at the time has left him in an ex cellent position to seek voles now from this slate for the flrst place, and he may develop considerable strength in the del-egation. — ft'e'D York correspondent Philadelphia IW'S

Is Gov. Alger cf Michigan a lavorite child of fate, br is he only a meteor flushing across the political skies, glow-ing brilliantly for a moment W o r e plunging Into the darkness of infinite obscurity ? Whatever he is, people are talking about him and watching him cu-riously. A few years ago he was com-paratively unknown, even locally, in Michigan; now he is seriously discussed as a possible Repuhlicau candidate for President, He has achieved National prominence almost in a day, and smgu lurly, too. he seems cn short acquain lance to strike the popular mind not un-l)leu"nntly or offensively. He has been and is being widely and gratuitously ad verlised as a millionaire, a philanthro-pist. a broad gauge business mun. a man of affairs, an easy, genial gentleman, a veteran of Kood record and a friend of party lenders In all Mt.tioiia of ihe coun-try. He »ecius quite unlike the general run of creatures of mushroom growth, and he may yet tenant the White House. The exhilarating climate of Michigan develops greatness very rapid-ly.—Chicoi/o Mail.

The editor and wife returned from tbe meeting of the state press association, Friday night, after enjoying the most pleasant meeting of the kind ever held m the state.

There were rides about the city in carriages, visit" to public Institutions, tides on the beau-tiful river, dainty lunches and a mag-nificent banquet, and every atiention that heart could wish. The only fault that can I s found is that the teception waa so grand that no other city m the state cau ever expect to equal it. Tbe business meetings were successful and will no doubt be productive of excellent results. The next meeting will be held at Orand Rapids in one year. The offi-cers chosen for the coming year were; President, W. H. Brearley, Detroli; Vice President, Perry F. Powers, Cadil-lac; Secretary, Oeo- W. Perry, Belle view; Treasurer, L M. Sellers, Cedar Springs; Historian. A. J . Aldrich, Cold-water, A more extended notice of the meeting is crowded out this week by matters of more general importance,

Before ind after each perfor-mance side shows are given for the ben-efit ot the little folks in tho anteroom, but the admission tu the large show in-cludes these aa well without extra charge. In one room are a n u n and woman fish, who perform all kinds of marvelous feats in a lank of water; in another Pun:h and Judy hold forth, while a minature circus is given by mar •onetla is still another. Around the building, behind tlie stagings on which the spectators' cha in are arranged, are the animals'rages. Two rings and a a stage in Ihe center of the amphithe-atre afford the performers ample room foi their evolutions, and the seats are all so arranged that every one in the audi-ence gela a good view ot all that is go-ing on. The troupe comprises some 40 performers. Besides the usual clowns, aerial performers, stack wi.e and 11. ht rope artists, equestrians, tumblere, musicians and all the fest which go to make up a well regulated cltcui are there, and the very brat In the profes-sion, too.—Wr t'lining Tdegram, Dec. 28.
