the hotel detective. entered the parlor. shook
the snorer until be was awake, and made his

shook him up soon after.
That gentleman pays the largest bill here

Senator Sherman Is q candidate for the
Chicago nomination. He is not only will
ing to accept the presidency but he aspires
to the position In square, open, honest
way. On his candidacy, the Washington
Evening Star, Of Monday, says:
Senator Sherman is the only candidate
for the republican presidential nomination
who seems to have engaged in active work
to obtain votes. He is openly and avowed-
ly a candidate for the republican nomina-
ton, and 1t is understood that the Ohio SEN
ator held conference with certain friends

be ascertained the exchange Of opinions

the Old Dominion.
As to the adjoining state Of North Caro-
lima, Colonel Canaday. sergeant-at-arms of
the senate, q devoted friend of Senator
Sherman, stands ready to do his best. Col
0nel Canaday has managed to maintain his
influence with the party in his state and it
is said he will head Sherman delegation

In Louisiana il Is claimed that the fayors
extended by Senator Sherman to the party
in that state in the past entitle him to what
ever aid the remnant of republicanism
there can give him. One result of the con-
ference Is understood to be that it shall 20
forth to the country that there must be no
mistake as to Senator Sherman's attitude;
that he is a candidate for the nomination,
ready to submit his claims to the conven-
ton. But the decision most immediate in
its results Is understood to be that Sher-

To the Editor Of the Republic:

| To the Editor Of the Republic:
Bethel township will present the name OF
Mr.. C. II. Neff, Of New Carlisle, for the
position Of treasurer, at the next county
convention. Mr.. Eeff is one of the gallant
young republicans OF the county, bred and
born so. He is quiet, unassuming gentle
man. Of good social qualities, honest in his
dealings, and fully competent to discharge
the duties of the Office he seeks. He has
ever been liberal In contributing of his
means to defray the expenses of the vari-
Gus campaigns of the township and county.
and never failed to vote the ticket straight.
In asking the republicans of the county
to consider fsyorably the claims of Mr..
Nef, We feel that we ask nothing more than
what is due our township. We give the
largest republican majority of any town.
ship in the county, and have never failed
in our duty to the party, although we have
received but a meager share Of the emolu-
ments of Office. Again and again, we have
presented the name of some fayorite son,
for nomination at our conventions and
as often have our claims been ig-
Lored. Beaten and disappointed, we
returned to our homes, but when election
day came around, we increased our ma
jOIity. True, a few years ago when we sub
mitted our claims to a vote of the people
at primary election. one Of our fellow
citizens name, in the person of ID. G. Cory,
was placed upon the ticket for commits
siOner, but contrary to every rule and
ipta hat has
tofore, he was not allowed the second term,
but harshly and without cause his claims
and those OF the towns Zip " re basely
ignored at the convention. Not in the his
tory of the party has there ever been a re-
publican convention of the county, that has
respected the claims of q candidate from
Bethel township. Must this ever be so; have
we no rights that the republicans of this
county in convention assembled are bound
to respect; if not, why not; is there no
merit living IN republican stronghold We
have present In old and tried republicans;
those who were at the making OF the party;
those who have grown gray in the service
of the same. We have again and again pre-
sented the names Of true and tried soldiers
who have marched through winters storms
and summers heat, those who have proved |
their LOYALTY to party and country on many |
a hard-fought battlefield; but all In vain. |
At each demand we we're told to call at |
more convenient season. Will the time |
ever come? We are not without hope, and |
shall again present the name Of one Of our
citizens at the April convention. Mr.. Neff |
Is of that age and class of young men who
are moving the commercial world today,
