Iu the course of his remarks, hi
said;
"A few years ago he had occasion,
in presenting a gentlemen (recently
dropped from tho s.nate, and who
described himself as a 'dead states
man'), to point out that he had In
him the material for an uncom
monly live president. He bad not
seen any necessity for apologizing
for any mistake made In tho predic
tion. Now it Is said the other party
is looking for a candidate. Htro is
the first niesiueni of tne Ulilo so
ciety ready at hand. A statesman
himself, and the son of a statesman,
and, if for any reason that name,
Ewing, is not called, (hen, in the
language of my frhnd Mr. Bennett,
would like to know why not Calvin

uud he is bright enough for the
whole forty-four, The Ohio man
continues to be prevalent. In the
present cabinet, for Instance, out of
seven members four are from Ohio.
Wheu these four vote together and
the president joins them, the rest of
tho concern mutt feel lonely."
In closing, Mr. Held paid he was
happy to have escaped in apparent
safety from public service, and made
a heartfelt expression of most grate

THE FALL ELECTIONS.
Some Speculation on the Result in
Rhcde Island.
New Yokk, April 11. The Tri
bune siivb: "From the East comes
light. Little Rhode Island is large
enough to deal the free traders a
stunning Llow. The Ippe that
'Cleveland and reform' will carry
the Eastern states is burioi under a
plurality of 2070 In a sm ill state,
where the Democrats had a plurality
of 4419 in 1889. In the light of re
cent events a presidential estimate
of some yulue can bo made of this
election. The new ippolntment
gives to the South 159 electoral votes,
to the East 117, and to the West 108,
the total being 444, with l23 to elect.
The South must retain all of its own
votes, and secure 04 votes from the
North; but If the South carries New
York with SO votes, New Jersey
with 10, Connecticut with 0, and
Indiana with 15, or 07 Northern
votes in all, it will bo still in the
minority, If It loses one small South
ern state as West Virginia with 6
votes, or Florida with 4. If Con
nectlcut, New York, New Jersey,
Indiana, Iowa und Montana be
classed as questionable with their
83 electoral votes, It follows that the
Democrats might elect If they could
carry all these uud prevent a loss of
more than 18 votrs In the South, but
the chuuee thut all these- Northern
states can be carried by the Demo
crats seems decidedly smaller than
tho chanco that tho Alhanoa will
cost them more than 18 Southern
votes."
HAS DONE HIS DUTY.
Appraiser Shaen, of San Frjn
cisco, Is Not Aft aid.
New Yobic, April 11 A corres
pondent saw Jacob Shaen, asls-tiu(
appraiser of Sau Francisco. Ho is
hero to attend a meeting of local
appraisers, whloh Is to bo held next
Tuesday. When Shaen was asked
about tho trouble Iu tho custom
house In Sau Francisco he did not
seem worried, and tieated subject
very lightly. In conversation with
him, tho impression ho left on the
listener's mind was that he had no
fear of being removed. He hud Just
returned from Washington, but
while there tho subject of his dis
missal wus not mentioned to him.
"The first direct report of any
trouble In tho San Francisco custom
house," ho b lid, "reached mo today,
I received a telegram from a friend
there which stated a San Francisco
paper said I was to bo removed, aud
thut I was in Washington squaring
up my accounts. Now, I want It
understood by my friends and ene
mies ulike that I fear nothing, for
there is certainly no trouble In
my department. Tbore may bo
something wioug In others than
mine, but I don't know anything
about It, I have nothing to do
with woolens, dry goods or luces.
When 1 loft home everything was
all right. Tho reason why I am
here uow Is because I received order
from the secretary of the treasury
tocomoou mid attend the anuual
meeting of the local appraisers,
which will take lace next Tues
day. I arrived a few days earlier
to learn about some changes In
the prices of imported goods. It
Is very singular that Assistant
Treasurer Bpauldlug, with whom I
wus closeted for some time Saturday
iu his office In Washington, did not
mention the snbject of tho trouble
out there to me. Next, however, I
will say to the treasurer thut 1 situ
ready to show my books nny ilino if
be has any suspicion of wrongdoing.
I don't think there Is any cbanco of
my being removed for cause. I
don't admire my position very much,
but I will do my duty while I hold
It."
Wantsd a Dam Site.
Pikenix, Ariz., April 11. A seri
ous Bbootlug affray took placo yester
day afternoon at Dam Kite, Rio
Verde, 20 miles from this city. Cap
talu John King two years ago lo
cated Dam Site and claims he has
expended in the neighborhood $-5000
improving nnd surveying the same.
Six months ago a company of
Minneapolis capitalists jumped the
claim and began a series of improve
ments. They have been working a
force of twenty-five or thirty men
since that time aud have likewise
acquired title to about 50,GG0 acres
of land lying under the contem
plated reservoir. Yesterday King
ordered the party to quit work at
the point of u rille, which they did.
Tho latter insisted upon them leav
ing their camp and upon their refus
ing fired several shots, none taking
effect. The camp cook, named
Crum, returned the fire, hitting
King in botli legs. He was brought
to the city in a precarious condition
and it is thought he w ill die. Crum
is under arrest aud It is likely a bit
ter feud will follow for tho posses
sion of Dam Site.

Washington, April 10. In the
Raum Investigation yesterday, Rep

during hh absence from the city an
attack bad been mode on him, and
there were some things needing an
explanation. On their fuce it looked
us if he wus connected with very
reprehensible matters, which had
been done in his name and without
ids knowledge. He had no connec
tion with anything irtegular, and
requesteu permission to examine
the pension fllce records and testi
mony, iu order to make a full and
complete statement. James W.
Donahue, pension clerk, testified he
had caused the arrest of Major Bar
ker, the dlr missed chief of the rec
ord division, for failure to pay bor
rowed funds and finally secured the
money, but Baikcr reduced him
from section chief to a clerk. Then
he tried to have him dismissed, and
the commissioner and Assistant Sec
retary Bussey recommended it, but'
Acting Secretary Chandler Interfered
and prevented it.

A LYNCHING FEAEED.
The Governor Orders Out Oo. F,
O. N. G.
Baker City, April 11. Latest
advices from West Fall. Malheur
county, say the killing of William
Humbert by Bailey Bros, was a
cold blooded murder, The trouble
began at tho Democratic primaries,
neiq baturuay. Tne contest was
close and exciting. Considerable
whisky was consumed and bad blood
soon commenced to crop out. At
one time two of the contestants for
delegates w ere a tie, one being one
of the Bailey Bros., who Intercepted
Wm. Humbert, ubo attempted to
vote, hot w ords followed, and in a
few minutes Humbert started for
home. Shortly after one of the
Bailey boys said he had been cut on
the arm by Humbert. A brief con
ference was held aud one of the
sjaug suggested that it would be the
proper thiu to overtake him and
kill him. Five of the number at
once mounted their horses and
started to carry out their murderous
threats. When Humbert had
arrived within a shot t distance from
his homo he was overtaken by the
Bailey boys who were on swift
horses and, it is alleged they riddled
him with bullets, four shots taking
effect iu the back. Humbert's little
daughter saw the shooting and ran
to her father, but was too late to see
him alive. Tho excitement runs
high iu that section and strong
threats of lynchiug are Indulged in
by the cowboys. Sheriff Fell is
doing all in his power to protect tho
prisoners and petitioned Gover
nor Pennoyer to detail Co. "F,"
O. N. G., of this city at once. A
telegram was received from the
governor ordering the militia to
depart immediately.
If the cowboys, who are now
organized do not carry thoir threats
into execution before the militia
arrives, the murderers will be
escorted to this city for safe keeping,

reference to Ayer's rills. Dr. J. T.
Toller, of CMttenango, N. Y., says :
"Ayer's Pills are lilrrlilv nnnrAHntml
They aro perfect in form and coating,
and their effects are all that the mos
careful physician could deaire. They
nave supplemented all the pills former
ly popular hero, and I think it must be
long before any other can bo made that
will at all compare with them. Thoso
who buy Aycr'a Pills get full value."
" I regard Ayer's Pills as one of tho
most reliable general remedies of our
times. They have been In use In my
family for various affections requiring a
purgative medicine, and have given un
varying satisfaction. We have found
them an excellent remedy for colds and
licht feyers." W. It. vnn.inn. w,

"I prescribe Ayer's Pills In my prac
tice, and find them excellent. I urge
their general uso In families." John
