PiiiLADBLriUA, Pa., May 4.—The Times -will publish to-morrow the following triple headed special from New York, Which it will endorse as coming direct from an tut thentic source: Nkw York, May 4.—1 have entirely relit ble information that the friends of Blaine have, within the last three diys, received di rect from him his assent to an aggressive movement for bis renomination for Presi dent, and an assurauce that if nominated fu the face of his Florence letter of declination he would not feel at liberty to decline. A general and systematic effort has been made by Mr. Blaine’s closest friends, such as Chairman Jones, Walter Phelpsi Whitelaw Iteid. Charles Emory Smith and others, for two months past to get Mr. Blaine into the attitude of a pas sive candidate. Thu Washington conferen was only a part of the methods by which in fluence had been brought to bear upon M Blaine, and the publication of his portrai taken from life in Italy and issued by Judge this week, was decided on 1 more than month ago as A STARTING POINT for an avowed eflort to make Blaine a can didate. Every possible pressure has been put upon Mr. Blaine to get front him tt direct assurance that he will not decline if nurni nated, anti that assurance has liccii receive in this city from Blaine within the lust threl days. of old precede and the ct its to citing.d t olution nf new pi ircumstnn- inciples to GERMANY’S INVALID. In a very few days it will cease to be secret that Blaine is in the hands of his friends, and the Blaine leaders will at once come to the front and make an aggressive campaign for his renomination. This move ment has been pretty clearly shadowed for some weeks in such Blaine urgans as the Tribune'of this city and the Philadelphia Presi, and all affectation about Blaine’s can didacy will now soon be thrown eff and the battle he made an aggressive one. Part ■ me original programme was the election Charles Emory smith os a delegate at large from your State, and the failure was a great dis&pnointment to the Blaine junta in this city, bhf Smith gives assurance that BLAIliE CAN COMMAND majority of the PcnhTytvIni.* delegate uuucr nuy uuuUlustanccB, umi iimvlf BJair.c’i ,initiation shall seem assured, the d.-i.-gu*. tion will be solid for him. The unexpected expressions in Mas sachusetts and Vermont were not ac cidental, nor are they unexpected to Mr. Blaine’s friends. Wfwn nil of tlie anti- Blaine men were reposing en their arms be- i-r they regarded Blaise aa est of the tight, the friends of Blaine were moat ener getic in their work in two anti-Blaine New ingtand States, and they got possession of Vermont and Massarhnsetts-while the others rwirffstoaplng la fancied'security. It wss the expression of these hitherto anti-Blaine New England States that made Blaine with draw his objections sod assent to the impor tunities of nis friends for bis renomionuon. It is now * positive fact that Blaine is in the field. Ilia friends have his assent toamove ment in his favor snd he will nominated at Chicago if hard work and plenty of en thusiasm can accomplish it JONES (IN Itl.AINK. Melville W. Fuller is in every way qual ified for tlie exalted position for which he has beer, nominated. Mr. Fuller was born in Augusta, Me., on February 11, 1833. His father was Frederick A. Fuller; his mother, Catharine Martin, daughter of Chi-f Justice Nathan Weston. Melville W. fitted for college in AtiguBta, and grad uated at Bov, dein in the class of 1853, his classmate being E. J. Phelps, our minister to England. Mr. Fuller, after leaving col lege, began the study of the law at Bangor, After attending lectures in the law depart ment of Harvard university, lie began to practice hie profession in Augusta in 1856. While waiting for clients he acted aa edi tor of the Age and won his spurs in jour nalism. Feeling that his true field of work was the law, and realizing that his native city did not afford that scope for effort which he stood in need of, Mr. Fuller came west and selected Chicago. .Here he did not have to wait long for practice. His ability was speedily recognired and properly rewarded. For thirty years he has. enjoyed a lucrative practice and lias won distinction among tlie foremost at this bar. In 1861 he was elected a member of the State constitu tional convention. Iu 1862 he was chosen to the legislature, and although he waa a Pen.ocrat, running each time in a strong Republican district, he was victorious by large majorities. He was a delegate to the Democratic National convention of 1864, 1872, 1876 and 1880. In 1 80 lie was se lected by the citizens to deliver the ad dress of welcome to Stephen A. Douglas Instead of yield fug to the civil law, it assimilated il as far is ! i-neficial by adapt ing its rules to thf- circumstances and habits of the people. Commercial law it self was but the outgrowth of principles recognized by tlie common law. Th t was the rock from whirl the waves gushed forth at the stroke f the “Great Lord MtinstiC’il. However the trial by jury tinder the an cient Constitution of England may differ that form of trial in the modern oi the word, it is one oi tlie chief glories of the common law that, notwith standing the influerii. of foreign laws and customs and langi. . , it maintained that great principle ot 8a on polity, the trial of facts by tlu- countn always regarded as the firmest bulwark of freedom, and not simply iinpoifant, ir. securing justice, but in teaching responsibility. The grand declaratory stntntes, tlie magna charts, the petition of right, the habeas corpus act. ; course, could not nor did not create or bistow the absolute rights of individuals, the right ■ of perso nal security, tlie rights of personal liberty, the right to acquit-, and enjoy properly, t«> protect which govt iintents were instituted among men. They hut repelled and guarded against encroachment upon them And while our Federal and State consti tutions perpetuated the words of those en actments, these right antedate those in struments, and ant held and declared to be natural, inherent id inalienable, llart and parcel of the lumon law, their effect ual existence is dependent upon that of civil liberty, with the spirit of which the 1 common law is p, .ted. “Within a spirit res; a mind Infused Through every i uther of that mighty mass, Pervades, sustain snd actuates the whole."

FULLER. Homo Expressions Which Give Wright to the Philadelphia Times’ Spot bit. Pittsbcbo, I’A-, May 6.—Ia an interview to-day Chairman Bones, of the national Re publican executive eonmuttee, said so far as Blaine's health wss concerned he was ns well as he ordinarily is, barring a slight cold. “Some of the stortee told about hint,” said he, “are absurd. To group some of them into one general denial, I may sty that Mr. Blaine has not decided to be a candidate, he has not asked his friends to make on ag gressive movement in hit behalf. Ue ha* not written any letters declining the nomi nation a second time, and it it not true that he will be on ocean and out oi reach of tiic telegraph when the Chicago convention it in session. Mr. Blaine saitl he desired to re ntals abroad two years, but he would not be acle to do to. 1 would Dot be surprised tc bear he was coming next month, or that he weuhl stay awoynntil next year. No time has as yet been fixed for his return. There is •othing ia the faet that CTer since his declination there ha* been a grow ing sentiment among the Republicans that Blaine shonld accept the leader ship of party in the next great battle, Thus movement has great strength, and will he a powerful, if not the most powerful, ele ment is Abe next eonveation. I do not think it is the intention of Blaine lo come out squsrely for any candidate or plumply ask hit friends to support John Smith or John Jones. He is only human, and may, of course, say “to snd so it my friend, and I would like to see him nominated,” and such an expression would have great weight. sxo.oim INVOLVED. in 1858 Mr. Fuller married Calirtr <J. Reynold*, und after her decease, Mary Ellen, daughter of the diatinguiohed hanker, Wm. F. t oolbaugh. He lias eight laughter*. In his practice in the Su|ircme Con't of the United Slates, Mr. Fuller Jiaa repeatedly come in contact, both as a colleague and as an opponent, with Messrs. Edmunds, Thurman, Headley, Ingersoll and other ndmitedly great La yers, and has never failed to bold his own against the greatest of them. He is familiar with the decisions of that court, and well-informed on the history ol our country, and especially on constitutional questions. Not content with the vast amount of reading and writing which o’ necessity results from the active practice of his profession, Mr. Fuller tie Immense amount of miscellaneous reading, and considerable writing hv way of recrea tion. He is an omnivorous reader, resem bles Macaulcy in his liking for a good novel, as well in tho swiftness with which lie grasps thu contents of a, hook and the tenacity with which his memory clings to it. Mr. Fuller was dining with some friends at Iroquois Club when found by a reporter. He had no intimation whatever of the nomination, and was so overcome at the announccmen; that for some months lie could utter nothing more than an ex clamation of eurpri e. He requested that he be not pressed for an extended inter view. saying that he was not in condition to talk sin the subject, as tlie nomination had come so unexpectedly. He, however, stated that he would not declite the nomi nation. At the banquet to Chief Justice Cole ridge in Chicago iu 1883 Mr. Fuller said: If it be true, as Lord Hale said, that the origin ol the common law was as midis- coverable as that ot the Nile, it is also true that, like that ancient river, as-it rolled down the ages it bore upon its bosom those frnctifying germs that 'blossomed into justice on every shore touched hv its fertilizing waters. If geographical re search has disclosed the fountains of the one, the progress of jurisprudence has re vealed the sources of the other, in the history of what has been assumed to be first principle*. If it took its hewinnin* from’the demand for vengeance, the [ample finally found in it a realization of the words of the Arabian Emir, ami saw their avenger stand in the latter day upon the earth.

[Applause.] In the comparatively brief time that has elapsed, Illinois lias acquired a popula tion of millions, wild Chicago, six hundred thousand, the State, tin- city, and the great West beyond, possessing a bench and bar to whom the names and labors of Coke and Hull ami Mansfield, of Bomera and Hardwick and Eldon, of Krskinc and Boailly and Follett, of Ellenborough and Tenderton and Denman and Campbell and Cockburn and Coleridge, and thefnng line of others whose fame the world will not willingly let die. are aa familiar as those of the judges ami lawyers of America. And hand in hand with tlie onward march of ihe age, in population, in wealth, in literature, in science, in art, in achieve ment in every direction, goes the common law, affording the guide of safety, suffici ently rigid for a rule, sufficiently elastic for progress—applicable to tlie particular and to the general, and like the tent in the Eastern tale, according to the exigency, small enough to be set up upon the nana, large enough for great armies, to encamp beneath its sheltering folds. [Applsuse.] Copyright 1888 by New York Associated Press Berlin; May 5.—The Emperor’s sleep was unbroken for several hours toward morning. It was the beet sleep he has enjoyed for many weeks and he awoke with a good ap- petite and in good spirits. He asked the physicians if he would be able to enjoy the open air, but the doctors, after holding a consultatiod, decided in the negative. The Flmperor dined with his family anil this nfteruoon took a long rest and slept for con siderable time. His temperature remains almost normal, though his fever has abated. Ucgardlug the sluwuess ot strength, ha does not lessen his attempts, but pesterdsy and to-day proved his wcakuess of limbs.. lie could not walk step though he was able to stand occasionally. The danger is that the event uf a recurrence of the crisis with his powers of resistance reduced to tlie minimum, there will be no chance for him to survive long. The alumnae canula now used has been u positihe relief, as during the nights since it was first inserted the Emperor'stils at' cough- ing have decreased. On Thursday the Em peror had • HIVE ATTACKS OF COUGHING, which required the cleansing of the canula yesterday. He does no more than necessary of official work, and relieves the tedium by changing his apartment. Ue it wheeled from his bed room to under the cupoln, where he receives oral reports, and thence to his study, where he spends some time reading, and thence to his .bed room, where lie rests. Ilia condition is cer tainly a credit to Ilr. Mackenzie, and every thing indicates that the Empctor has again entered on a period of comparative freedom from the worst symptoms of his malady, which have hitherto been followed by an in creasingly dangerous crisis. Dr. Mnckensie will not take a holiday until the Emperor is hgain able to venture into the open air. The weather grows wanner daily. A cottage will be erected in the Schlosa park for the Em- peror’s special comfort, which will be bit first place of rest. THE CROWN PRINCE, though absorbed iu his extensive duties, confers witii the Empress dully, apart from his visit ts his father. This marked change in the Crqwn Prince was coincident with the visit of Queen Victoria, whose success in conciliating him proves to be more enduring than was anticipated.

The Cologne Gazette suggests that Pan-SIavanism has grown mightier than the Caar and might force his hand and cause him to enter into a fighting alliance with France. The official Gasetle of Berlin interpret, the position in a similar way. It is believed that the war party has sonvincsd the Czar that the next French elections will return a war ministry and that Russia ought to be ready to cooperate with France. The renewal of the pres* campaign against Russia is unjustly attributed to the desire to frustrate the new Russian loan.
