The Man Into Whose Hands the White
sulphur Springs Have Fallen.
Major B. F. Eskle who was here day
or two since, told me that after consider
able litigation the White Sulphur Springs
property had gotten into the hands Of Mr..
w. A. Stuart, who in addition to being the
largest owner of its bonds is virtually the
owner of the property by reason Of holding
a first mortgage upon it for an amount
equal to its market value. Stuart Will run
the hotel property himself hereafter and as
he has ample means and is interested
in keeping up the very considerable
interest he has invested in 1t he will prob
ably run the establishment in a way that
will do credit to West Nirginia's National
summer resort. Eakle, who is to be the
general manager under the new regime,
has the advantage of large and favorable
acquaintance as we'll as thorough kuowl-

Chat About Republican
Candidates.
Special 10 The Reqister.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Logan s
right hand man Das Sheppard, OF Chicago
is Quoted in Post interview as saying
that Logan's boom originated with the
soldiers, who as you know, are held TO-
sether throughout the country by means
OF the Grand Army OF the Republic. Ihese
organizations have been holding meetings
quite regularly of late, and the matter mas
been talked over, and they have come 70

ed by the Republican party this year, and
they have decided, it seems, upon Genefal

''What are the chances OF other cahul'
dates who are mentioned"
ITO whom do you refer"
ITO Edmunds, Grant, Arthur, the Saer'
mans and Lincoln"
"EdmuudS," said Mr.. Sheppard, would
like TO be President, and his apparent anx'
iety for fear he would not be elected to the
presidency pro ten. OF the Senate showed
that he wanted to be as close to the place
as possible in case OF an accident, but he is.
a narrow minded, puritanical New Eng
lander, and altogether too partisan to be
considered for a moment. He would not
suit the people,
what OF Grant"
"He is not a candidate at all, and is not
meddling in politics. He is on the political
retired list"
"And Arthur
He has no chance whatever. There are
certain forces working against him day ano
night. He is being undermined by Blame
and others in a quiet and ettectual man
ner
How about Uncle John Sherman and
Gen. Tecumseh?'
"The former has and is still fsunting
what rem aims of the bloody shirt, OF which
the American people are tired and disgust
ed, and as to the other, he does not Wantlt
and the people don't want him"
What are the chances OF Secretary LIN
coln?'
THE Republican party have net come to
the point where they are compelled TO run
a man simply upon the name he bears:
Lincoln does not possess one attribute ot
his father. The Secretaryisa Todd IN every
point except his name. He is an aristocrat,
and will never be nominated by the party
which stood by his father. II an Eastern
man is nominated for President he may
stand chance of getting the second place
on the ticket"
so, amongst them all, you think Logan
is the most available man

"What of Blaine"
"He is keeping very quiet, and says he
does not want il, but there is no telling
what may happen il bis friends push him

PHILADELPHIA. March 25.-lE now begins
to look as if there would be concerted
move nent h. re among snti-ring Republi-

der the leadership OF Wayne MacNeagh
and dld 80 much for Garfield, TIE move
ment embraces many of the independent

Secretary Lincoln for Vice President. That
would be a ticket hard 10 byat.'
The individual who thus expressed him
self is close to the leaders OF the party in
the city, his affi.iation in the recent dele
gate election being With the McManes-

the nomination of President Arthur, but
known to be opposed to the candidacy Of

the choice Of uine-;enths of the mem bers
