Will Grant Be a Candidate.

just how it got abroad there is no
telling, but within a day or two there
has cropped out an impression that
Grant, after all. will not be candidate.
The fact that Sherman preferred to let
the Ohio Senatorship slip away from
him to remain in the Presidential field,
indicates that there will be contest for
the nomination, and in such event the
wiseacres say that Grant will not suffer
his name to go before the Convention.
J. Brishin Walker, an intimate friend OF
Secretary Sherman. called in at the En-
quirer Bureau and in the course of con.
versation said that he recently had q
talk with Sherman, during which the
Presidential topic came ND Said Wal
ker: 81 can not see, Mr. Secretary, how
General Grant can permit his name to
go before the Convention in case of a
contest, and presume there will be q
contest" to which the Secretary quickly
responded: sOf course there will be a
contest " This goes to show that Sec
retary Sherman is not going to st.p
aside 80 easily as the Grant managers
had hoped, but will keep in the race
with view to make Grant contest for
the place rather than that the Presiden
tial plum should, unsought, be dumped
into his lap.
hear it, too, from Stermsn's friend
that he is not so much afraid of Blaine
as be is 'of Conkling-tbat is, he has
no idea that Conkl'ng can himself ge
the nomination, but that if Grant should
get out Of the way. in that event Conk'
| ling would turn in and throw Ills inf |.
ence (the vote of New YofE delega
tion) for E. B. Washburne, of Illinois
The sixty-s,x votes Of New York, added
to the forty. of illinois, which Wash
burne could count, would give him +,
good start, and the Grant influence il
the South would also be likely to go fo
Grants candidate. who would undoubt
edly be Washburne. Again, Wash
burne is outside of the jealonsies ant
chickering's which exist between Conk
ling, Blaine and Sherman: and II, with
Grant out. the Convention should degen

that early last spring family by the

John Waldo succeeded in alternating the
affections of Celdale's wife, and induced
her to come and live with him. A few
days ago Walde's house was burned, it
is supposed by the women of the neigh
borhood. they hoping thereby to termi
nate the scarplalods performances in
their midst Waldo laid the crime to
Coledale, whom he knew was his bitter
enemy, and made threats that he would
shoot him. Another man, whose name
was not learned, was living with Cole

of Walde's house they were missing
Investigation revealed the strongest evil
dence that they had been murdered
Buckshot holes were found in the wall

Suspicion at once rested on the Walde
family. John Waldo was found, arrest

ty seat, and had an examination last
Saturday, and although the evidence
was very slight, he was held to avail,
the action OF the grand jury, which will
meet in February. On Saturday large
number of indignant citizens came in
from the surrounding country, and the
officers had all they could do to keep
them from doing him violence. In the
afternoon apparently becoming some
