at last made known his wishes
in the matter and that he has
determined to make tho fight
for nomination. A Washing

doubt that he is a candidate.
The result of the election in
New York has, perhaps, made
it proper that the candidacy
should be avowed. think that
General Arthur is tho man to
carry New York, and that from
present appearances he will con

is the man."

upon the subject there can be
scarce a doubt, 10, perhaps, the
first positive declaration by any
one near the President that Gen.
Arthur is q Presidential candi.

had not determined to be a sam

quite certain that he is a capdi-

made near Richmond, Missouri,
to kill Charles Ford one of the
slayers of Jesse James. The at
tempt was made by seven men
and they all fired upon him, but
strange to say none of the shots
took effect. Ford returned the
fire promptly and his assailants
