"I don't think Blaino wotfld spoil the find record ho made in the largo majority he re ceived in this state at the recent election by becoming a candidate for senator,??? said Magee smilingly.' Senator Cameron, without betray ing tho least emotion, created much merri ment by serenely goring at tho threatening sky and declaring that it looked "very much liko snow." Mo appeared very much amused when attention was called to Senator Sher man's statement that Senator. Cameron must havo been .misunderstood when reported a* having declared that the republicans in tho United States senate would place obstacles in the wsy of Cleveland's appointments. In tho drollest manner Senator Cameron remarkod, "John Sherman nover did sao a joke." Chris. Magco says thero will bo no material opposition, if anv, in the republican legislative caucus to the selection of Cameron as his own successor. This view is shared by many other republican politicians. The defeat' of Blaino bna rather increased .than diminished Cameron???s .chances for re-election.

This year ho mado the rame declaration. Mr. Hounds is sotting up the document himself, with tho assistance of Cadet Taylor, bia first assistant. Ho is cor recting all proofs, und the typo is looked up in his big safe when not in use. Mr. Rounds says responsibility is making his hair grow wiiite, but ho is doing his best to protect tho president's message from unworthy eyes.
