Intense interest is being sliown throughout Uii' country at the sudden character of Air Hlaine's resignation, which was conveyed to President Harrison in a very curt manner. Mr Harrison replied in a similar strain. It is believed that Hi' Blaine will no longer protest uginst his nomination for tUi! Presidency. The present dispute was caused by the friction which occurred between the contingents l-.ca.ded respectively by Air I L:iiTi--ou and Air Blaine. "Both contingents are now usscmbli "* at Minneapolis, but the rcnr<Hi'i;,.a!ives of Air Harrison are said to outnumber those of Air Blaine at every point. It is, however, strongly"urged that Air Blaine's contingent, if united, would not bo so far behind their opponents. It is now publicly stated that recent bickerings have taken place between Mr Blaine and Air Harrison's suctions in the Cabinet. Another story is to the ctt'ect, that Airs Blaine instigated her husband to resign and stand for the Presidency, so that he (Mr Blaine) might be in a position to have revenge on Air Harrison for refusal to appoint certain officers.
