The Illinois Senator Not . Candidate for
the Republican Nomination.
4. WASHINGTON, April 9 Ex-senator Gull
lom, In an interview with a representa-
tive of the United Press, when his atten-
ton was called to the frequent mention
of his name in connection with the Re-
publican nomination for the presidency,
stated that he was ttnot q candidate for
that honorable position"
sI feel, . he said, livery hopeful of the
success Of the Republican party In the
coming campaign, but the fact cannot be
disguised that the Democracy will enter
upon the contest certain of the electoral
FTvotes nj the solid south, no matter
what may be the vote actually cast in
that section, and the whole power of the
pretended reform administration will
be exerted in the doubtful northern
states to secure the perpetuation of
DEMOCRATIC rule. / believe the sue
cess Of the Republican party in the
coming campaign is of vital Importance
to the party, and the situation demands
that personal ambition and personal
preference shall be subordinated. abso-
lutely to the success of Republican prtn-
c1pleS. III Is q tlTn6 ABOVE al
others when the nominee should
be the choice of the whole
party, as nearly as possible. So far as I
am personally concerned 1 am not a
candidate for the presidency, and have
told my friends at home that / desired
that Illinois shall send a delegation to
the Chicago convention prepared to sup
port the most available candidate that
can be found, and who shall seem to be
most acceptable to the party, whoever he
may he. If in the deliberations
Of the convention 1t should be
thought Illinois might again, aa
she has twice in her history,
furnish q candidate who, all things con-
sidered, would best promote the success
of the party, he should and would re-
ceiye the loyal and hearty support of
the delegation
In conclusion, Senator Cullom said
that what he desired most Of all things,
was the selection of the strongest posi-
BILE candidate, and an aggressive, Wig
nrous campaign. Under such circum-
stances he would feel confident OF the
triumph of Republican principles.

DORSEY AND HENDERSON TAKE BACK
SEATS FOR M,sHANtG

The Nebraska Senators Indignant Over the
Removal Of the Land Office from Mo
brara to o'NeIIl and Their Protests
CURLY Replied to by Villas.
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Man
derson and Paddock and Representative
Dorsey, of Nebraska, are very indignant
over the action of the president in order
ing the removal of the United States
land office from Niobrara to O'Neill,
Mob, but they are even more indignant
at a snub which Secretary Villas has just
administered. When the action of the
executive became known there was q SEN
~sation, and Representative Dorsey be-
came especially panicky, for the reasons
that the towns in question were in his
congressional district. He had been
kept In utter ignorance of such a move
ment, and did not know that the change
was even contemplated until after the
order was issued. Acting upon the sup
position that in matters affecting the
public affairs of his district he ought to
have been informed, il not consulted, he
addressed a communication to the secre-
tary of the interior and another to the
president, protesting. Senator Mander-
son, as one Of the representatives Of the
state, did likewise.
Secretary Villas answer was decidedly
brief and slightly discourteous. He
simply asked Senator Henderson whether
it was to be inferred chat he (Manderson)
felt that in all questions of public policy
he ought to be informed beforehand, or
that he simply desired to impart to the
secretary his tManderson's) ignorance of
the situation. The senior senator from
Nebraska is, in consequence, very justly
indignant, and it Is intimated that the
secretary will 'shear something DROP
The president has not yet replied to the
communication sem him. No reason for
the removal is given, except that it was
Representative McShane's desire to have
the land Office at O'Neill. Mr.. McShane
is the only Democrat in the delegation,
and he already wears a wide smile. Pro-
tests are now pouring in from Niobrara
and vicinity to have the order of removal
revoked, particularly as the old Ponca
reservation of several hundred thousand
acres, shortly to be opened to settlement,
is near the present location of the land
office,

In many instances lack of moisture left

from the Hessian fly. From the middle
Of December to the LIST OF March it was
