old if he should be elected governor, and he
has no strength to administer the duties OF

the Late Minister HurIbut.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Mr EImore, the

Lima announcing that Ex-Dictator Pierok
has embarked and left Peru. "The whole
of Peru" Elmore says, "is now firmly united
lin spite OF the persistent efforts of Periok

government. Calderon is represented by
Vice-President Moutero, who is also recog-
nized by the whole of Peru, and in whose
name General Caceres lately took the city
of Ayaoucho, with large remnant of Peri
ok's followers. This" EImore adds, ''is the
legacy which the lamented General Hurlbut
has left Peru the greatest triumph of his
heroic life, and while the Peruvian people
exist united, and are in the enjoyment of
republican institutions, they will ever re-
member and venerate the name of Hurlbut,

A DIsGRAcEFuL piece of political treach-
cry has just been made public, in which
John Sherman figures IS the beneficiary. 1t
has long been asserted by the Stalwart
leaders that Grants nomination at Chicago
was defeated by some assumed friends, but
who they were could not be found out until
a few days ago, when DIR. w. III. Wheeler, of
North Carolina, read a letter written in the
early part Of 1850, in the handwriting Of,
aud signed by, Green B. Raums, asking
him TO use his influence TO have Sherman
delegates sent from North Carolina to chi
esgo. 1t explained the activity OF the rev.
enue and custom house officers in all the
States. Senators Conkling, Cameron and
Logan can now trace all the troubles IN
their States and in New York in 1880 to the
efforts of Raum on behalf of Sherman.
"There is now no doubt" says the
New York Times, shat the entire rev
enue service OF the country was manipu-
lated in this manner against General Grant
by a man who openly declared himself his
friend, but who was really the friend of John
Sherman aud engaged in obtaining the secrets
OF the Grant leaders and furnishing Sher-
IA an aud his frields with the information
thus obtained"

West Tennessee had adopted resolutions tend
ing TO repudiation, and had captured the con-
vention. Colonel Carroll said that had he been
in the Legislature he would have voted for
the 1908 proposition. 1t had his warm
support. He believed it was a proper settle
ment, fair, equitable and just, and legal
settlement, but the Supreme Court had de-
cided otherwise. Hence it was they had The
Issue before them, and the question was
whether the Democracy would harmonic

ton would be solution of all the difficult
ties in which the party had found itself.
