ETUEXS FR01I MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS
r?rECIAL TELEGBASI TO THE DlfPATCn.
Washikoto, April C. Mr. Harrison
ipears to bo trying to coquette with dis
nguishcd members of his party in the
atter oi the Presidental nomination. He
is undoubtedly told some of the party
aders with whom he lias talked that he
es not want a renomination and that he is
ubtful whether he would accept it. Yet
is equally certain that he does not want
lis declaration traced to him directly or
ken too eeriously. There is a great deal
ore uncertainty in the situation than a
irface view would indicate, and Mr. Har
mon is little less anxious about Mr. Blaine
ian lie was before Mr. Blaine wrote his
tter taking himself out of the field.
One thing that is said to disturb .Mr.
arrison is the apparent frankness with
hich certain gentlemen, while agreeing to
is nomination, assume the'manner of hav
ig it forced upon them, and declare that
,cr do not think he can be elected. He is
robably not so much bothered by their
redictions as by the inference which he
.ay draw that at the bottom of it all is a
oire to get him frightened out of the way
iat another's interests may be advanced.
Some 'Words for Blaine's Benefit.
A significant thing in this connection is
mt the men to whom he lias expressed in
ference about renomination are men
horn he might expect to repeat it where
i Blaine might hear. All this indicates a
t-picion on tlie pai't of Mr. Harrison that
icre is still a quiet effort being made to
rcc Mr. Blaine's nomination, a suspicion
hich tlie talk of certain piominent Blaino
len would indicate may he -n ell founded.
But while Mr. Harrison is manifesting an
idifference in ttie presence or certain men,
is plain enouzl) that he is not inactive,
nd others who have called on him to talk
olitics liavo found it difficult to inteicst
im in the subject, but the reason ee-ns to
e that lie docs not caieto take theso par
cular men into his confidence. Through
ther agencies, however, he is nt work. Sev
ral active politicians who havo lieenserv
lg the country in foietan courts are to be
ere at an opportune time to get in some
ork before the convention.
Foreign ministers Broncht Home.
VThitelaw llcid is now in this country, ana
liarlcs Emery Smith, the Minister to Russia;
V'illiaro Walter Phelps, Minister to Ger
tany, and Pat Ejaii, Minister to Chile, are
tpected to return to this country before
lie time for the Xational Convention. Eeid
ad Egan have been Blaine men, but they
ow owe allegiance to Mr. Harrison, and it is
Ir. Harrison's policy to make use of con
orts when he can, as in the case of Elkins.
'here is some talk in political circles here
l Whitelaw Keid as an associate of Mr.
larrison on the ticket, and it 1? believed
hat lie will work for him in Xew York. Mr.
.ran has been granted a leave of absence,
nd gossip has it that lie is coming home to
rork the Irish vote for a renewal of the
res.ent administration Smith is expected
"be on hand to help Harrison in Pennsyl
jnia, and Phelns, notwithstanding hisde
otion to Mr. Blaine, is expected to look out
oi Harrison in Sew Jersey
It is regarded as very clever the way in
Inch Mr. Harrison is making use of the
freeholder who are the lriends of Mr.
Maine. Being under obligations to the
"icsldont, and liavinsno excuse of loyalty
o Blaine, since the Maine man is avowedly
ut ot" the field, they cannot avoid working
-r the President, thus dividing Mr. Blaine's
jrccs.
MORE EELIGION THAN POLITICS
n the Municipal Elections That Were Held
Thronchont Sllchlgran.
Detroit, April 5. The municipal clec
ions held throughout this Stato yester-
ay resulted in victories for Republican
ickets in a numbor of Democratic strong
iolds, while tho Democrats were successful
u others. The creat feature was the extent
o which religion and politics were mixed
n a large number of towns. In such lead
ng cities as Saginaw, Grand Rapids, Port
inron and West Bay City, and in many
raller places, the anti-Catliolie issue was a
erystiong one and called out a tremen
lous vote. In most places the result was
ich as to give the anti-Catholic element
rounds for clnimin; the victory, although
ii a mixed political situation thcic were
tlier contributing issue.
Among the Democratic strongholds car
led by the Republicans are Grand Rapids,
.isrinaw, Ijniing, Port Union. Muskegon,
tattle Creek, Kalamazoo and Ypsilanti. No

nore important cities in which the Demo

pikes, failures and eailwat news
Trexton', April 5. The bill to legalize
the Heading Eailroad combine was vetoed
this morning by Governor Abbett, on the
ground of unconstitutionality. The Gov
ernor says there is no question of his rieht
to so act on bills within 30 days after the
Legislature's adjournment. Governor Ab
bett says:
It is plain that the members of the Lesis
latnre considered that they were in passing
this bill pursuing the settled policy of tho
State, which has been to encourage, rather
than to discourage, the consolidation of rail
road corporations having a common interest
In travel and business. A careful examina
tion of the act fails to disclose any authority
conferred by it which would authorize or as
sist any combination to control the neces
saries of life. There is nothing which au
thorizes a control of prices by the corpora
tions beyond the natural rule of supply and
demand.
A dispatch from Philadelphia says Presi
dent JleLeod said this afternoon:
Tho refusal of the Governor to sign the
bill will have no effect upon the Reading
Railroad Company. The leased lines will be
operated as at present, although not as con
veniently as they would be if the bill be
came a law. The refusal of the Governor to
sign the bill will have no effect whatever
upon the combination. We are perfecting
our organization.
The leases were mado without regard to
Legislative action on the part of New
Jersey. Tho New Jeroy Central road has
been leased by the Port Readins,
and prior to the passage of the bill
legalizing the anthracite combination
there was no law In New Jersey
preventing one corporation in the State
from leasing another. The lease ot the New
Jersey Central Railroad by the Port Reading
is, in other words, legal, and the Jeisey Cen
tral is being operated under that lease, and
will continue to be operated. The principal
purpose of the bill was to enable dissenting
stockholders to have their claims adjudi
cated. We had not heard of any dissenting
stockholders of the New Jersey Central Rail
road, but if there were any the passage of
or the bill and its approval by the Governor
would have enabled them to have their
claims adjudicated.
It has been said that in case the Governor
refused to sign the bill, a corpoiation would
be organized uuder the laws of New Jersey
which would control and operate all the
roads Interested in the combination through
the owneiship of their stocks. That is not
correct. We havo neve- thought of forming
such a corporation. The leases will stand as
they have been made, and the leased roads
will continue to be operated by the Reading
resardlesa of the action taken by Governor
Abbett. I think that the word "lease" con
veniently expresses tho situation exactlv.
It was stated to-night that Attorney Gen
eral Stockton will at once commence suit to
annul the charters of the New Jersey Cen
tral and Port Readins Railroads for violat
ing the law of 1SS5, which permits railroads
to consolidate onlv after filing notice in the
office of tho Sccietary of State and obtain
ing permission from the Legislature.
A HTJOE EAILK0AD COALITION.
The Pennsy Is In It, and Its Object Is to Do
Away With Commissions.
Chicago, April 6. It has just leaked out
here that a combination has been formed, or
Is being formed, between tho Vanderbilt and
Pennsylvania lines In the East and the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy, the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul, the Chicago and
Northwestern and tho Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe in the West, by which these
companies agree to discontinue the payment
of commissions to each other's agents. The
consideration is a division of tho inter
change passenger business in accordance
with an agreement ontered into a few weeks
ago, and which means the exclusion, so far
as possible, of all other lines from partici
pation in this business. Two seciet meetings
have been held, one in Pittsburg, and, it Is
believed the other in New York.
The roadR that are to be practically boy
.cotted in this arrangement are the Rock
Island, tho Chicago, St. Paul and Kansas
City and tho Chicago and Alton in the West,
and tho Grand Trunk, the Erie, the Balti
more and Ohio and connecting lines in (he
East. It is plain to be seen that this is an
other attempt on the part of tho Pennsyl
vania and Vanderbilt systems to do away
with the payment of pasenger commissions
to ticket agents, and they have seemed the
assistance of four of tho strongest roads
west of Chicago. If tiy this deal they can
foice the other lines to surrender n pcacelul
solution of tho commission trouble may be
expected, but nobody seems to anticipate
such an outcome, at least until after there
has been a hard fight. The combination has
been handled verv carefully, and it was not
'until to-day that reliable information on the
inbject could be obtained. Tho discovery
of what has been going on will certainly
lead to a row, and it is piedicted that tho
result will be a teniflo rate war or tho
abandonment of tho scheme.

Like most other people, our
folks formerly used lard for
all such purposes. When it
disagreed with any of the
family (which it often did,)
we said it was "too rich'
We finally tried
EOTTOLEfflE
and not one of us has had an
attack of "richness" since.
We further found that, unlike
lard, Cottolene had no un
pleasant odor when cooking,
and lastly Mother's favorite
and conservative cooking au
thority came out and gave it
a big recommendation which
clinched the matter. So that's
why we always fry ours in
Cottolene.

Have No Equal.
Allcock's Porous Plasters are unapproachable in
curative properties, rapidity and safety of action, and are
the only reliable plasters ever produced.
They have successfully stood the test of over thirty years'
use by the public ; their virtues have never been equalled by
the unscrupulous imitators who have sought to trade upon
the reputation of Allcock's by making plasters with holes
in them, and claiming them to be "just as good as
Allcock's."
ALLCOCKS
stand to-day endorsed by not only -the highest medical
authorities, but by millions of grateful patients who have
proved their efficacy as a household remedy.
Beware of imitations, and do not be deceived by misrepresentation. Ask
for Allcock's, and let no solicitation or explanation induce you to accept
a substitute.
