Retirement of Gen. sherman

WAsHINGTON, February S.-The
President to-day issued the following
order announcing the retirement of
General Sherman
General William T. Sherman
General of the army, having this day
reached sixty-nine years, is, in ac-
cordance with law, placed on the re
tired list of the army without restric-
ton of pay and allowances. The
announcement of the retirement
from the command of the army of
one whe has beer so many years its
distinguished Chief, can but awaken
in the minds not only OF the army
and people of the United States
mingled emotions Of regret and graf
itude-regrat at the withdrawal from
active military service fan officer
whose lofty sense of duty has been
a model for all soldiers since he
first entered the army, in July, 1910,
and gratitude freshly awakened for
service ofincalculable valuerendered
by him in the war for the Union,
his great military genius and daring
did so much to end. The President
deems this fitting occasion to give
expression in this manner to :he
gratitude felt toward General Sher-
man by his fellow citizens, and to
hope Providence may grant him
many years of health and happiness
in relief from the active duties of his
profession.

Illinois FOR Logan.

New YORK, February 6.-Emory
A. Storrs, of Chicago, who is at the
st. James Hotel, said to The Press
correspondent tonight Il have no
doubt that nine tenths of the dele
gates elected from Illinois to the
Republican Convention will be for
John A. Logan. Under the present
method Of election delegates it is
extremely difficult to secure a solid
delegation, but the people Of Illinois
are for Logan
The Stalwarts," said Mr.. Storrs,
"will vote for any good man-Blaine
Edmunds, Logan, or any one OF
that stamp. All they ask is live,
wide awake candidate. The
time for running around the country
after curiosity is over"
Mr.. Storrs said he believed the
nomination would depend entirely
upon New York. If the New York
delegation could agree on a candi-
date he would be nominated. If
not he thought the thing for
the Republicans to do was
to wait until the Convention
met and then make candidate

choice, or dictated to by the State
Convention, of which they will be
an integral portion. This is the sug-
gestion of a mere caviler without 4
basis to predicate it upon; an as
sumption, that a majority ofthe dis
trict. in the State would yield their
right to select their own delegates,
for the purpose of controlling the
right of selection in a minority OF
the districts. But there is no such
pewer given the State Convention ;
on the contrary it is absolutely pro
hibited and prevented by vesting the
sole power Of selection OF the dis-
trict delegates in the people thereof.
1t is very clear by the rule above
quoted that the State Convention
can take no action regarding the
election of district delegates, and
even if the people of district neg
lected or refused to select National
delegates, theState Convention could
not supply the deficit in the delega-
ton, and the district would have to
go unrepresented. The State Con-
vention could not procure the ad-
mission of district delegates into the
National Convention. even if it as
sumed the power to elect them, be,
cause it is provided that, "All dis
trict delegates are to be accredited
by the officers of such district con
vention."
We are led to say this now, be-
cause of the evident intent Of some
parties in the State to create suspi-
cions OF the State Convention, and
induce a feeling of alarm among the
people that must be preiudicial to
that harmony of action so necessary,
and so much to be desired in the
coming canvass. The people of each
district can select their delegates to
the National Convention, by either
of the ways indicated by the Nation
al Committee, with the absolute GER
tainty that their choice cannot bein-
terfered with by the State Conven-
ton, would-be leaders, or any other
person, and of this every intelligent
man can assure himself, by examin'
ing the rule formulated by the Ma
tional Committee.

Killed by Robbers.

NASHVILLE, February GA spec
ial from Culiacan, Chihuahua, Mex
leo, says:
Judge Cooper, formerly u. 5. Sen
ator from this state, was killed by
robbers near that city yesterday. No
further particulars. He was the man
ager Of the famous Polk Silver Mine,
and left here in November with $50
600 in United States exchange to
pay off the debts of the concern and
start the mill. Soon after his arrival
in Mexico he wrote back that he
had struck very rich ore, many peck
cts running thousands of dollars per
ton, and would start the mill as soon
as supplies were received from Cul-
iacan. He was on his way shere for
that purpose when killed. The mine
is high up in the Sierra Madre
Mountains, and the country between
there and Culiacan is infested with
robbers.

SLAUGHTER AT SINK AT.
Another Egyptian Defeat In The
Soudan.

SUAKIM, February 6.-The enemy
have surrounded and destroyed
Tewfik Bev and 400 followers be-
tween Sinkat and the coast. This
disaster was not unexpected. Fer
many weeks Tewfik Bey has been
maintaining an obstinate resistance
in Sinkat, closely beset on all
sides with enemies, in the hope
that forces wopld be sent to
his relief Word from him reached
Suakim on Thursday last announ-
cling that if relief did not arrive by
Saturday he should make II desper
ate effort to cut his way through
the enemy to the coast, as his condi-
ton forbade the town. This effort
has proved futile.
LONDON, February 6.-Later ad
vices bring more particulars OF the
disastrous defeat of Baker Pasha.
The slaughter of his forces contin-
ued all the way back 10 Trinkitat.
The Egyptians were panic stricken
and iell upon their knees. But
their appeals for mercy we're fruitless.
The Arabs seized them by the neCks
thrust their spears into their backs
and savagely cut their throats. The
Englishmen missing are Marice Bey.
Surgeon Leshes, Captains Forester
and Walker, and Lieutenant Car
roll, Smith and Watkins. Ten other
foreign officers are missing. The
fugitlves huddled together on the
sheres at Trinkitat, and might easily
have been slaughtered, but the enc
my gave ever the pursuit. The men
embarked as quickly as possible
upon six transports which were
lying there, and, with Baker Pasha
and Colonel Sartorius, arrived at
midnight at Suakim. Intense ex-
citement prevailed in Suakim to-day.
Az attack of the enemy is expected.
The forts were occupied by English
mariners. The French agent has tel
egraphed for man of war.
All the special dispatches agree
that Tckat and Sinkat are no pelessly
lost. The fact that the British gun
boats have left Trinkitat creates a
bad impression upon the minds Of
the Egyptians, and encourages the
rebels in their fanaticism The reb-
els captured five guns, $4,000 pounds
OF cannon ammunition, 5000 rifles
and an enormous quantity Of car
tridees.
Baker Pasha has telegraphed to
Sir Evelyn Barring, British Ministers
at Cairo, that the force by which
he was attacked was less than 1000
strong, but that the Egyptians threw
away their arms and fled.

Terrible Work of Vigiiants.

Sioux CITY, February 6.-Reports
have reached here from the Upper
Elkhorn country, in Nebraska, that
kid" Wade, the leader of the Mo
hrara outlaws and horse thieves. has
been hanged by vigilants. The
vigilants have their headquarters at
u place called the Pen" They have
arrested a large number of men in
various parts of Northern Nebraska
and have taken them to the ''Pen, >
where they have been tried and dis
posed of. The fate of those arrested
is not definitely known, but as they
were never seen after their arrest ii
is supposed that they were hanged,
shot or driven from the country.
The terrible earnestness of tho vigil
ants and the mystery surrounding
the ways causes men to shudder
when their doings are mentioned.
1t is positively known that they have
lynched eleven men. and it is believ-
ei that others have met the same
fate.

Gen. Grants Condition.

WASHINGTON, February THE
friends of President Grant in of
fetal and private life here, express
much solicitude concerning his
health and the opinion is expressed
by those who have seen him recent
ly that his physical condition is not
improving, and that he can hardly
be said to be holding his own. There
are those who fear that he will not
be able again to take part in the Or
dinary daily affairs Of life.
A gentleman who called upon the
ex-Presidenton Monday refers to his
health as much affected by the mac
tivity forced upon MIN by his injury
in the fall he had a few weeks ago.
The injury itselfis no longer serious,
and shows daily improvement, but
the confinement he has suffered in
consequence has developed compli-
cations Of the kidneys and liver
which do not seem to yield even to
the most skillful treatment. 1t may
therefore be said plainly that the ex-
Presidents condition has not i'm
proved. His physicians say that
there is no immediate cause for
alarm, which indicates that the pres
ent is not as satisfactory as might
be. The ex-President keeps up his
spirits, and talks of taking an airing
in a few days, but he is unable to
move about his chamber without
the aid of crutches. The physicians
think that within a very short time
the complications of his disease will
have sufficiently developed or abat,
ed to enable them to give IN intelli-
gent statement of his actual condi-
ton.

Robbers Beaten OF.

GALVESTON, February 6.-The
stage coach going to Abilene was
stopped by highwaymen yesterday
morning and robbed by two masked
men, who captured all the cash in
the mail and s25 from one of the
passengers. When the coach going
in the opposite direction arrived at
the same spot it was attacked also,
but Its passengers were on the alert.
A fight took place with the robbers,
and after sharp fusillade the latter
were driven of, with one man badly
wounded. One of the passengers
was shot twice and badly hurt. He
will die. Another passenger was

Messrs. Hiscox & Co. call special
attention to the fact that after April
16, 1888, the name and style of this
preparation viii hereafter be simply
Parker's Tonic. The word Ginger"
is dropped, for the reason that un-
principled dealers are constantly de-
ceiving their patrons by substituting
inferior preparations under the name
Of Ginger and as ginger is an un-

our Tonic, we are sure that our
friends will agree with US as to the
propriety of the change. There will
be no change, however, in the prep

The absolutely necessary" States
are fast forging to the front. 1t is
absolutely necessary to Republi-
can success that New York be car
ried, because of her commanding
electoral vote. 1t is absolutely nec-
essary" to carry Ohio, because as an
October State, she points the way,
and It's absolutely necessary that
Indiana shall be secured, because
she is a very doubtful State. SO say
the and auuc's who have assumed
charge of the campaign. The intent
of which is, to assure the public that
each OF these three States is in a po-
sition to dictate the Presidential
nominee. 1t would be a very un-
fortunate condition of affairs if this
assumption is true, and if each oi
these States should insist upon put.
ting the party in a hole, simply be.
cause it had the power to do so. II
is only fair to believe, however, that
the Republicans of these States enjoy
in common with their brethren
throughout the Union, heritage o.
sound sense, and a desire for the
success of our party and its princi
pies. This being the case they un
derstand full well, that it is as "abso
lutely necessary" to carry Pennsyl
vania, or any other of the fixed Re
publican States, as it is TO carry
either one, or the whole of these
three, and therefore when the'Na-
tional Convention assemblies for con
sultation, it will doubtless select {
candidate that will be acceptable tC
all the States that it is absolutely
necessaey" to carry to ensure hi:
success. There is no use borrowing
tro lble in advance.

The last Republican National
Convention instructed the National
Committee of the party, to prescribe
methods or rules for the selection
of delegates to the Convention Of
1884, with the proviso that ''such
methods or rules shall include and
secure to the several Congressional
districts of the United States the
right to elect their own delegates to
the National Convention" The COM
mittee, at a meeting held in Janua-
~, 1888, prescribed rule in which
it was declared that 'the Republi-
cans of the various Congressional
districts shall have the option of
electing their delegates at separate
popular delegate conventions, called
on similar notice twenty days] and
held in the districts at any time
within fifteen days next prior to the
meeting of the State Conventions, or
by subdivision of the State Conven-
tions into district conventions, and
such delegates shall be chosen in the
latter method if not elected previo, 5
to the meeting of the State Conven-
tions, all district delegates to be ac-
credited by the officers of such dis
trict conventions.
The obvious purpose of the rule
adopted by the Convention of 1880,
as well as that by the National Gem
mittee, is to secure a seperate and
independent representation of each
Congressional district in the coming
National Convention. To accom-
plish this, the Republicans of each
Congressional district are given their
choice of two methods, either to elect
their delegates by popular conven-
ton, or by the delegates to the State
Convention from each district as
sembling together and choosing the
two delegates to the Chicago Con-
vention, which each dictrict is enti-
tied to. Either method is manifestly
fair, and either secures to the people
the right to choose the delegates.
But some of our journals and wonld-
be leaders, either from superabund-
ant caution, or from a restless desire
for noteriety and useless agitation.
are caviling about the latter option,
and warning the people against it
on the baseless assumption that, if

Convention are empowered to select
those to the National Convention.
