that the Urexels have urged Mr.. Charles
B. Wright to re-enter the board Of di-
rectors and a vacancy will probably be
made for him within month ii he will
accept a seat. Furtherthan this it is not
an improbable outcome of the stockhold-
er's meeting that an understanding will
be reached to the effect that at an early
day Mr.. Willard will voluntarily r.
tire from the presidency of the Northern
Pacific company to be succeeded by
J. Casselt, of Philadelphia, or some other
experienced or practical railroad mana
ger of equally high standing in the rail-
way and financial world. 1t is next to
certain that some change equivalent to
this will be insisted on by the stockhold-
ers before the twenty million second
mortgage loan is authorized and the
financial needs Of the company thus re-
lieyed. 1t is probable that the conteln-
plated change will not ensuc at once upon
the holding Of the approach ng meeting,
but will take place about the close of the
year.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis. Nov. l9.-An Iron
Mountain dispatch says: One thousand
five hundred men from the Chaplin and
Lldington mines, who struck Saturday,
hold out, but threaten to destroy the
works, if any men commence mining.
Captain Rundel held them in check by
promising compromise if the agent did
not come from the company on the noon
train. Some wish to continue the strike
peaceably, but the majority want to fill
the mines with water. The men threaten
to kill Superintendent Cady, if he re-
turns. They paraded to-day with ban
ners and band The cat;se of the
strike is to cut off s. in the monthly
wages. The Saturday shift has not been
done for some time but their pay has
confined until recently, when the Sup
crintcndent of the mine decides! TO
Withhold it. Hence the strike.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l9.-The Sunday
Capith, which processes to speak with
authority directly from the White House
has the following editorial to-day: ''The
president fully colnrrehends the sinceri
ty ard value of the manifestations of
favor with which, in various sections Of
the country the suggestion that he be
nominated in 1884 As the republican cam
ddate for tbs, presidency has been re-
ceivrd d;,ring the past week. 1t gives
hi,a pleasure to perceive that even in
that portion Of the press not especially
friendly t. him, the subject is treated
fr1iir the point of view Of what is best
ana safest for his party, and not as a
question Of what is to him personally ac-
cepta;;,le or desirable. 1t would be a
gross injustice t. Mr. arthur t. represent
him in the attitude OF forcing himself
upon the republican party, and as will
ing to comrass Il nomination next year
b. methods which would be SIRE to raise
sharp personal issue within the party
similar to the unfortunate contest that
preceded the convention Of 1885, To
reach true understanding Of Mr.. Ar
thurs position relative tn the next pres
idency, il should be known that he fully
colnprel,cnded the fact 50 clearly indl-
Gated by the recent electiOns-nalnely,
that while the democrats, having pos
session of the solid South. may elect
president by carrying the state Of Ohio,
it is absolutely essential to republican
success that the republicans should carry
both Ohio and New York, and that no
candidate who cannot be fairly sure in
advance of carrying both these States
ought to be placed in nomination, or
even to have his claims considered. To
attempt to force upon the convention any
candidate that did not possess the entire
confidence OF the great mass OF rcpubli-
can voters would be about as suicidal a
piece Of political folly as was ever known.
The question that presents itself to the
presidents mind, therefore, is not
whether BY the help Of solid republican
delegations from states which can cast no
republican electoral votes, it is impossi-
bic ior hin to secure nomination next
June. Doubtless that might be done;
but Mr.. Arthur's whole course since he
has become president has shown that he
realizes the importance OF Il united party
and what is known as 1906 politics is
not the sort of thing he prefers to engage
in
