Sherman, Depew and Ayers forces was a source
OF disquietude and unhappiness.
sherman seems to have reached the end OF
MS last ballot. Before adjournment he fell of
TOUR votes from his greatest strength and none
among his followers is able to point to any spot
where he can obtain greatly increased vote.
On the contrary, the general opinion is that
Pennsylvania will swing away from Sherman
before long, and if her sixty votes are cast with
anything like unanimity, it will so far tow ard
settling the nomination. There is no sentiment
in Pennsylvania for Sherman, and her delegates,
in giving him fifty three Of the sixty votes of the
State, are misrepresenting the people OF the
Keystone State.
HARRIsON'S PoSsIBILITIEs
Should New York and Pennsylvania go for any
one candidate it would insure his nomination.
DepeW, as announced in the. California Associ-
ated Press DISPATCHES last night, says he favors
the nomination of Harrison. Should New
York give him its vote Pennsylvania might fall
into line and make the nomination, but the
Pennsylvanians are talking about Gresham and
about Allison, who has held his own with ease
and slightly increased his vote.
Mckinley is the dark horse whom il is well to
bear in mind.
Warner Miller says he does not want the
nomination for Nice-President on the ticket
with Harrison or any other Western man, and
that Levi p Morton is the man.
WORK OF THE BLAINE MEN.
Meantime the plan of the Blame men, as out
lined in last nights dispatches has been carried
out thus far TO perfection. 1t was amusing to
see the Maine delegation spread out among the
rival Candidates and not cast single vote for
the man whom they hope to see nominated.

And the quiek-fed or lessened heart beats write

ship went down he stood alone on the quarter
deck, calmly waiting his watch. 1t was Il
braggadocio that was made splen5id in the
presence Of his death. This is the
sort of man Mckinley is. Those
first few dropping votes were like the
first shots along the skirmish line, when one
does not know what great onpouring of men
may be following. 1t was what Garfield knew
in 1850, and the repetition of the situation sug-

How Neal Dow Interpreted an oras

There was once an occasion in which
Neal Dow was very noticeable figure. 1t
was early IN the war. His army corps had
been brought up preparatory 70 forming
for battle. General Dow was one of r
party Of lesser officers who had been called
around the corps commander for instruc-
tions. He was, as one of the boys said, all
hat, boots and sword. He was very small
man and wore a hat with an enormous
brim, pair of boots that tapped above
the knee, and sword that changed on the
ground away behind him.
General Dow," said the commander,
81 want you to go to that little hillock to
the left and take position facing that
line of woods"
Now, General ~ asked Dow
"At once"
In moment the army saw little General
Dow tramping off toward the hillock alone,
and word was passed along explaining the
mistake he had made. The shouts Of
laughter attracted the commanders atten-
tion, and he sent an orderly after General
Dow. When the little man returned the
commander asked
General Dow, what did you understand
me to direct you to do?"
"To take position on that hillock fac
ing the woods, sir ?"
And did you think l meant to send
you there alone ?n
Certainly, sir. did not hear you say
anybody was to go with me-"
The commander kindly set him right,
and General Dow finally took his COM
mand to the hillock, but the boys in that
corps never got through talking and laugh
ing about the time Little Neal Dow" set
out alone to hold the hillock against the
rebel ARMY Chicago Times
