WABUIXOTO-V, Feb. uat- uralty the entire talk of tho day was the letter of Mr. Blniuo to Chairman ClmkBtjH of the republican national committee, notifying him that ho would not bo a c-audldato for the ro- publicnn nomination for tho presidency. By some this kind of a loiter has been ox- liecled' from him. As outlined in tlicso dis- natchea for several months, suoa a letter ivna probable, for a long timo ago he told a confidential friend that tho whole was dependent.

health and that ho inuit have timo to ascertain whether that health would carry him through a campaign. Tho letter to Mr. ClarXsoii docs not seem, from its rending, to bo an entirely voluntary one. It is written ns if he was bidding fnrowoll to the greatest hope of hia hfs. Ho lias strong enemies in owuparty--enemies who foughf and voted against him when ho was a candidate against Cleveland 1 --who wore prepared to fight him again.

They say tho letter Was not voluntary, and that it' was forced from him. Their theory is that such men ns Elkins and other intimated told him that ho had bcon-nl- lowcd timo to make up his mind, and that tho. moment had come for him to sicak; There was a groat oloment in his party, which had looked upoa Mm ns euro candidate, and if ho did not to becomo such ho should snenk out. Then, again, tho minor convention to select to the national convonlion would soon bo hold, and that It was his duty to his party to prevent con'fusion iu tho ranks by an unequivocal announcement. In other words, ho was forced to talk at once.

Ho js scared to death about his health--in foci, ho is "crazy on that subject, and this was brought in to in- duco him to speak now. Ho is in bad health and believes no is in than ho really is. Confronted with flio arguments why ho should speak, and not being satisfied that his health would over bo bettor, ho hnd to. como out as he has doae. Somo o.f his friends claim that ho was never a candidato and has acted in manly wny toward Harrison and his party.

Others Bay that his. eolf- donial will result in hts. unanimous nouiinn- Tho democrats are inlRhtilyplonsod over the whole thing. Some of them say that tho reason Blnino declines to become candidate is becauso ho eaw that fhero was no possible chance to elect a. republican this year.

Bay that there is ilcon seated hatred between him nud Harrison which will the of tho democrats. Tho majority.of the democrats, content themselves idea that Ills from contest moans t(io coming forward of ri dozsn moro republican candidates and with them' (v confusion which wijl offset Iho confusion now In the democratic ranks over the- question oj selecting a cjindidale. As long as Btalne was supposed to bo in the race thevo wero no candidates spoken of but ho and Harrison. There nro dozens of nm- bltlous men in the party, but thcso did not dnro show their heads, in tho presence ol Blame. It is now s.hnwu-thr.t fuarcd him nlono and not Harrison, for already thoro aro several nniioiincetnonts.of tho intentions'of men to uspiro to tho nomination.

Cullom of Illinois announces himself as it candi- dato. Tho friends of Busk, Algor, Allison, Sherman and several others aro, in interviews, declaring them to bo 'proper men for tho place. It looks at this early moment, after Iho withdrawal of Blaine, that thoro is going to be a very hard fight for tho noinlnnlion and tha sides to bo pitted against each other are the ins and outs. Whilo Blafno had a great. personal following, much of tho strength behind him was tliobo who wore Havrlson.

This element -will at onco Bwiui to' sonio other tree. It has already commenced to cry cut that Blaino was forced out of tho 1 -racoby Harrison, who took advantage of the plumed' knight's nigh sense of gratitudo nnd honor. It is expected by many that tho aforesaid knight do all in hla ppwor -the present 'executive. He is dissatisfied with Harrison's conduct iri the Chilean muttor which ho alono' desired to managed It i be remembered that not long ago, at a dinner given by Serfa- tor Hole, Ulaiiio said in a burat of anger, that wo did not have half as good case against Chilo ns Italy had against ua for tho killing of tho Italians at Orleans. Ho eaid many other things to the antoniehment of sonlo of tho foreign ministers' who vworo preaent and which wero far from Haltering to Mr.

Harri- Eon's management of affair. This display of temper on nig part was denied by Mr. Halo, but it is an open secret and'discussed openly, Uiat ho eaid all that was attributed to. hiul nnd moro than ho wan credited with. There have been intimations from Harrison's friends, too, that if tlio Chilean minister here, that then? was no danger of any trouble between tho countries, will bo Blaino'B friends have heard of all thia.

as ho hs3 also. Harrison and his friends have. heard all about Blaino'B sneers at Halo's dinner, and thus thcro is good ground to boHovo that tho two statesmen aro pulling apart nnd that there will bo li war to the knifo beforo tho cud. But everything about the whole matter is speculation and any man who talks on the subject has some theory of his own. Senator Coke reported to tho scnato to-day his bills making Laredo and Velasco sub-ports df entry ana also his bill appropriating $75,000 for a public building at Laredo'.

Ho says ho will havo no trouble putting all tho bills through tho senate. Tho Hoallne WASHINOTOX, Fob. 8.
