Ma WARREN, wife of Bishop Henry W
WARREN of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
has Just donated 100000 to the Denver
University to be devoted to the establish
ment ola department of divinity. 1t is to
be named the IHf School of Divinity, after
Mrs. WARRES's former husband. Mrs.
WARREN, who was an Eastern school teach
er, married for her first husbanda Mr.. lLFF,
a Colorado cattle king. She was her hus-
bands companion in all his visits to his va
rious ranches and thus became thoroughly
conyersant with every detail Of his business.
During his last illness he desired his wife to
continue the business just as he had done,
which she did, and is now in all probability
the m Ost successful eattle-grower in that
State. She has continued to devote her at
tention to the business with just as great as
siduity since her marriage with Bishop
WARREN as before, and being a devout
Methodist is bestowing her great wealth in
the most liberal manner for the advance
ment in the sparsely settled States and Ter
ritorites Of the West. The gift to the Den
yer University is made in pursuance Of this
general plan.

All There il OF II.
-.

Democrats from ali parts Of the country
have announced their desire TO supper
Grover Cleveland for President of tn,
United States since Mr.. Tildens name has
been Withdrawn. Several representative
States have in their conventions Endorsed
the Governors nomination. Yet few
local Democratic politicians oppose Gov
Cleveland beca sSe they suppose he has Stooc
in the way of their personal interests or am-
bitiouS
One complains that the Governor did not
want him nominated for State office
Another viii not support him for PreSl-
dent because he vetoed on constitutional
grounds local five cent fare bill. Another
opposes him because he nominated one
PERSON instead of another Cor Commissioner
Of Emigration. Yet another antagOnizeS
him because he did not apply the partisan
knife to reform legislation in favor OF honest
government
Suppose Senator Bayard's record had
been as unassailable as his characte: aud
majority of the States of the Union had
called for him as the party's leader in tn,
Presidential battle? What should we think
Of a LOT of ward politicians in Delaware who
refused to put the Senator forward as the
States candidate because he had refused t.
lower the rate of fare of a Wilmington
street car line or had appointed John Smith
q road commissioner instead Of Thomas
Brown?
Yet this is all there is of the opposition to
Cleveland in this State.

GOFF HAS THE FLOOR.

Ex-senator DAVIS having contradicted
reinstatement that hewas supporting BLAINE,
il is now in order for Gen Corr to rise to a
personal explanation.
In an interview with the Washington IT.
porter Of the Cincinnati Sun which was pull
hshed in that paper Gen. Corr is quoted as
saying that DAVIS was supporting BLAINE
and that through his influence the Republic
cans expected to carry the State. 1t struck
rs at the time as a wild statement to DO
coming from gentleman as astute in poll
tics as Gen GoFF For TO any one at all
skilled in political science nothing is better
known than that no one man can lead
successful revolt against a party I'M
less there is some great principle underlying
the movement In New York GEORGE WN.
CURTIS does not take the refOrmerS from the
Republican ranks, it is the PriuciPle-the
reform moyemeut-that is sweeping him
him along. If it had been a question Of
personal fayOritism with Mr.. Curtis andhis
bolt had been the result of pique because
some candidate to whom he was partial was
not nominated, or because Of some personal
differences between himself aad Mr.. BLAINE,
then Mr. Curtis could not have carried
bakers dozen with him. Just as it would
hove beeu with Mr.. Davis even if the Corr
diagnosis had been correct II Partially
for Mr. BLAINE ha led Senator DAVIS to his
support that would have had no effect upon
the general rcsul; in the State--Democrats
nor Republicans either for that mat
ter, will ever smother their conyic-
Sions aud break their necSs climbing over
fence into somebody else's pasture field
Just as a matter OF personal accommodation
to some friend. And more especially when
the candidate to whose support they are
asked to come bears such an unsavory rec
ord that the best elements Of his own party
are boltiug his nomination. So that if
Mt DAVIS had committed himself to the
BLAINE cause it would only have been Mr..
DAus's support, that is all, and one vote
doesn't count much in one hundred thou
sand. But Mr. DAVIS says that he has not
contributed any aid to the support Of
Mr.. BLAINE, nor does he expect to-
So now it IS eminently proper for
Gen. Corr 10 tell the people upon
what authority he placed Senator Davis in
false light before the public. Gen. COTS
political position is too prominent and he
has too much of personal character at
stake to stand before the public as a ma
igner, and for the purposes of scoring a
point for his party to publish and circulate
a fiction detrimental to the individual and
political reputation of an eminent citizen
of the State.
The columns Of the REGIsrER are open
for any explanation that our distinguished
Congressman has to make. The House
viii now come to order. Gen. Gof has the
floor.

The Spanish Minister At Washington and
he Spanish Consul at New York II appears
from the Havana dispatches, are agitated
BY the discourse of Mr. Blaiue's views upon
Cuba, and Commissioner is about to visit
rs in consequence Of their reports. There
is, ne doubt, something titillating to the
mind of a Spanish official in the report that
when an ex-Collector Of Key West told q
person who has since been nominated to
the Presidency that Cuba would be
worth $2500O0,OO0 to the United
States. the candidate replied with
effasion that il would be worth at least
double that" Even $3.50, 900 is prom
sing price for piece of property the gross
earnings of which, under its present man
agement do not equal its fixed charges.
The excess of Mr. Blaine's estimate over
the real value of the island would suffice to
commute, at an extravagant capitalization,
the CLAIMS Of every Spanish pensioner upon
Cuban industries The official informantS
of the Captsin-General go too far, hOwev-
er, if they report that public opinion in
the United States is absolutely in favor
Of annexing or purchasing Cuba" Mr.
BIAISE would very possibly be in favor of
it if he were President, and so in that event
Weuld be Mr.. BRADY aud Mr.. Dorsey and

would please those enterprising men better
than to form a syndicute ION the ground

Spain, even at three times its value, and
selling it to the United States at s5OO,OOO-
900. There is no reason to fear that
Mr.. BLAINE would be "dead-head in the
enterprise" Bat these persons do not com
pose, nor has it yet appeared that they con
