4 HE WANTS NO OFFICE.
Ex-senator Thurman Says He is
Not a Candidate for Anything.

COLUMBUS, o., June IA correSpOn-
dent called on Ex-senator Thurman
this afternoon and asked in relation to
the vice-presidency.
You newspaper people, said the
senator. Twill never let fellow alone.
There have been four or five news paper
men calling on me every day for
week"
SS'The country at large is deeply
|. interested IN the question of your
candidacy for the vice-presidency,"
suggested the correspondent.
There must be some mistake about
that, for people cannot be interested in
a thing that does not exist. | am not
candidate for the vice presidency or for
any other Office, consequently there can
be no real or actual interest i'll my as
Sumed candidacy"
But your name is now being
mentioned in all parts of the country as
the one likely to be selected at st.
Louis"
That may be, but no one has been
authorized to use my name in that con-
nection. l want 10 Office of any kind,
and consequently am not an aspirant
for the yice-presidency. l look upon
this whole matter as beng intended as
a friendly compliment, but would
much rather that my friends would
compliment by
NOT MENTIONING MY NAME
in that way"
But they, doubtless, assume that you
are DESTROYS of seeing President Cleve-
land reelected, and"-
There is no ground for either as
sumption or SuppoSition Oh that score"
Mr.. Thurman said. Il am desiriOus of
seeing Mr.. Cleveland reelected. All
that L can do in that behalf will be done
cheerfully, and, in my opinion, he will
be elected by an increased majority. A
man with the courage, the honesty, the
patriotism and the craftsmanship of
Grover Cleveland deserves such an in
dorsement at the hands of the people as
his reelection would imply"
{ But in the event of your unanimous
nomination for the vice presidency at
st. Louis?''
That event will not happen, for |
have. already told you that [ am not a
candidate for that or any other official
position"
''But suppose you were nominated,
would you decline the Nomination."
There would be no propriety in de-
Ginning substantially anything before it
Is rendered, and | am not so presumptu-
Gus as to decline in advance a nomina-
ton that will undoubtedly be rendered
to another; for the convention will not
lack the best of material from which to
select. l am a private in the ranks,
and the question of vice-preSidential
nomination in no way affects me-"

THE ANNUAL EXODUS.

The annual exodus from America to
Europe has begun, and the steamers are
crowded to their utmost capacity. 1t is
estimated that more Americans than
ever before will pass the summer on
foreign shores, and that their aggregate
expenditure will take nearly hundred
millions of dollars out Of the country.
Of course. there Is no question about the
right of a tourist to go where he pleases
and spend his or her money as he
pleaSeS. but the reflection cannot helm
occurring that there is a woetul lack of
discrimination shown in this annual
exodus.
While doubtless many of the tourists
go abroad to seek new scenes, for the
purpose of enjoying Europe's artistic
treasures and historic associations. many
others, and perhaps the majority. go be-
cause it is 1.-The thing"-because others
do it, and so accordingly must they.
Most of these are practically unac-
quainted with their own country beyond
the sections in which they live Many
OF them have never been west of Chi
cago.
They have heard that America pos
sesseS natural attractions in the way of
scenery which even Europe cannot ex-
eel. but they know nothing about them
from personal experience. They simply
follow the tide, and the tide unfort-
unately sets in toward Europe. 1t is,
of course, natural enough desire, that
to visit other lands than our own, and it
is reasonable one, too; but it should be
subordinated to a desire for knowledge
of ones own country first.
Then comparisons may be well and
intelligently made, and there is 10 dan
ger of America suffering by them.

WASHINGTON, June DIR. Pepper,
OF Philadelphia, who was summoned
last night by telegraph, reached Wash
was met at the Washington station by
Col. Blunt with carriage and driven
direct to the house, arriving there about
6 o'clock. The other physicians,
with the exception of DR.. Lincoln, were
waiting for him, and, upon his arrival,
all Immediately proceeded to the sick
chamber, where Dr.. Pepper made a
careful aud thorough diagnosis of the
case. That the results of his examina-
ton were not of an encouraging char
acter was clearly shown by the brevity
of. the bulletin signed by him. Ee re-
IN ned in consultation with the ply
sicians until $50 O'Clock, and then took
the 9 O'Clock train for Philadelphia. 1t
was impossible to obtain an interview
but it is understood that he will not re-
turn to this city for several days at
least, and not then unless new and
other dangerous symptoms are devel-
oped in the case. None Of the old
physicians would give any information
about the case this morning in addition
to the meager statements contained in
the bulletin. which states that al
though the patient had held his own
during the night, his general condition
still justified the gravest anxiety.
A prominent physician, in speaking of
Gen. Sheridan'S case tonight said that
Matthew Arnold, his father and his
brother had all died of heart failure, the
general trouble being the same as that
in Gen. Sheridan'S case. Matthew Ar
mold. he said, had lived for twenty
years with this disease by being
and it was in this period that he did his
life work. His death was finally
caused by over-eXertiOn. which brought
on heart trouble and killed him. Gen.
Sheridan, he said,
MIGHT LIVE FOR YEARS
with this trouble if he recovered from
the present attack, but it would be
necessary for him always to exercise
great care and subject himself con-
constantly to rigid discipline.
AT $50 p. m. the following bulletin
was issued:
9p. M, June 1.-The situation remains
about the same. Throughout the
day Gen. Sheridan'S mind has
no renewal of yesterdays attack,
though there is but an incomplete re-
covery from its effect. No new I'M
favorable symptoms have developed.
The unavoidable excitement connected
with his promotion has had no deleteri-
GUS effect whatever. He has slept
quietly through great part of the day.
Another bulletin was issued at 1870
this morning, stating that there had
been no appreciate change in Gen.
Sheridan's condition since the last even
ing bulletin was issued. He had
coughed but little, had slept most of the
time, and when awake was clear in his
mind and cheerful

EDUCATION OF INDIANS.
The Progress Made With the
Tribes in Indian Territory.

Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, June 1.-The chief
features of the senate proceedings to-
day were the prompt confirmation of
the nomination of Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan
to be general of the army and discus
sion of the subject of education of the
Indians. House bill to amend the ag-
ricultural college act of 1862,
and other supplementary acts, in
regard to experimental stations,
was passed. Mr.. EdmundS, from
Judiciary committee, reported adversely
the house bill removing the political
disabilities of Horace A. Brown, of Viz
ginia, on the ground that Brown was
not an officer when he left the service
and joined the Confederate forces, be-
ing only naval cadet The senate
then proceeded to the consideration of
the Indian appropriation bill. Senator
Blair, in discussing the subject of educa-
ton OF the Indians, spoke OF the progress
made by the five civilized tribes in the
Indian territory, and in support of the
progress mentioned the fact that the
newspapers published there contained
as much civilized blackguardlsm and
criticism as the metropolitan journals
did. Mr.. Dawes intimated that these
lrlDeS naQ reached q certain grade OF
civilization and had stopped there,
or perhaps had refrigerated. The In
dian, MI. Dawes said, as an Indian,
could find no place ON this
continent, but the race would continue
and would increase and multiply under
its new conditions. The Indian had to
be made a self-supporting citizen of the
United States, or he would certainly be
a yagrant savage tramp. That was the
alternative. MI. Plumb said that the
condition Of the Indians in the Indian
territory4 was worse now than it had
been for many pears; that there meyer
was time when the trader so dominated
the Indian, when the Indian was brought
so much in debt by the exactions of the
trader, and When so much liquor was
sold; and that the commissioner OF In
dian affairs had no experience, was adj
vanced in years, and was unequal to the
position. Mr. Bate defended the char
acter, ability, honesty and efficiency of
the commissioner, and challeged the
senator from Kansas to prove his asser-
tons. This Mr.. Plumb promised to do.
The bill was finally passed, and the
senate at 5 p. m. adjourned till Monday.

WANT TARIFF REFORM.

Even the PrOhibitioniStS are in line
with the rapidly growing sentiment Of
the country in favor of tariff reform.
Whatever exception may be taken to
the other doctrines which they seek to
promulgate, there will be no difficulty
in the West, at least, in agreeing with
their declarations upon this point.
Their unqualified expressions in favor
of an immediate reduction of the sur
plus and of tariff burdens is especially
significant, from the fact that the party
is composed of all sorts and conditions
of men; Of those who were Democrats,
Of those who were Republicans and of
those who owed no previous allegiance
to any party. In measure. then, they
reflect in their tariff reform dec
larationS the sentiment of the ell
tire country. 1t is rare thing
indeed when convention of any
kind assemblies in the West without
adopting resolutions against the burden
imposing tariff.
The Prohibition convention, being
composed of exceptionally intelligent,
if somewhat fanatical people, could not
avoid the expression of similar senti-
ment. The issue is becoming very
clearly defined by these repeated declar-
ations. 1t is the people against the mo-
nopolists, the cause of the many against
the few. AS Representatives of large
section of the people the PrOhibitionists
in she matter of tariff reform naturally
declare themselves in a way that ac-
cords with the position maintained by
the people as a whole. But it is only
through the Democratic party that they
can obtain relief from excessive taxa :
ton. Experience has demonstrated that
so clearly that it has become almoS
automatic.

READY FOR THE FAITHFUL.
The Finishing Touches Have Been
Put on Convention Hall.


ST. LOUIS, June 1.-The last touches
were put on the convention hall this
afternoon and it is now ready. 81

has ever held convention" said Ser
geant-at-Arms Bright to-day. sit would
have been better. of course, if we could
have had the speakers stand in the mid
die of one side of the hall. That would
have enabled everybody in the hall to

going to be rather difficult. The fact is
that whenever good acoustic effect is Sc
cured in large hall it's mere accident.
When one stands on the speakers
platform and looks over the hall, the
eye sees nothing but red, white and
blue bunting, coats of arms of states
and gilded American eagles. Every
pillar in the. hall is wrapped with bunt-,
ing from the floor to the ceiling, the
three colorS contraSted at intervals
with wreaths of evergreen. Bunting
is loOped from the galleries in long fes-
tOonS. The platform proper is under

greens. There is a descent of those
steps from the platform to the speakers
stand, and little square stand, large
enough to hold table and two or three
chairs, projects from that. The official
reporter is to occupy this. At the rear
of the hall huge American eagle flaps
his wings between two enor-

PEPPERS PREDICTION.
If There is no Recurrence of the
Heart Troubles the Patient
Will Pull Through.

PHILADELPHIA, June DIR. Pepper,
when seen this evening, said that he
had just received a telegram from Dr..
r. NJ. O'Reilly, which stated that there
had been no failing during the day, nor
had there been any return of the symp-
toms indicating more immediate anger
''Dr. O'Reilley's telegram" said the
doctor, ''shoWs that Gen. SEeridan's re-
Operative powers are not exhausted,
and therefore, if no fresh attacks Of
heart failure ensue, his vitality and
endurance will pull him through.
Owing to complication of
very bad heart action, with
very serious congestion and 9dema OF
the lungs it is impossible to say at what
hour there might be renewal of the
alarming symptoms. These have been
held in check solely by powerful REM
edieS and toll. Fortunately these
remedies are acting very kindly, but
hope i'll the case is based upon the
ability to keep up his nerve power and
heart action i'll this way for some days
longer, until the tendency to attacks of
the heart failure has passed over"

AN ARMY OF CRANKS.
People Who Have Proffered Sug-
gestions TO the Attending Ply
Sicians.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Since the
illness Of Gen. Sheridan became gener-
ally known throughout the country,
and the physicians bulletins have been
issued, the mail of the attending doc
tors has largely increased. With eacn
incoming train great bundles of letters
have been received by the doctors from
all sections of the county and from all
sorts of people. The cranks, perhaps,
predominant. DR.. O'ReilIy has re-
eeived the greatest number of letters.
They ali bear upon the treatment of
Gen. Sheridan and most of them have
rendered advice. The patent medicine
man recommends his noStrums as a sure
cure for heart disease, and the good old
granny in the country suggests some
herbs, which she declares to be infaI-
llble. Scores of physicians of both
schools have sent prescriptions for the
doctors guidance, and one young tiedg-
ling of physician who has Just emerged
from the portals of the dissecting room
offers to take the case and conduct it
properly. Many of the letters are of a
critical character, and show that the
writer's have profound confidence i'll
themselves, if not in the ability of the
attending physicians.

STANLEY SAFE.

If the word of the deserters from
STANLEY'S camp is to be relied upon,
there is but little doubt that the intrepid
explorer will successfully complete his
African expedition and will return with
flying colors. The fact that no direct
communication has been received from
STANLEY, now in the heart of Africa.
is easily explained, since it is almost
impossible to penetrate the vast extent
of hostile country lying between him
and the coast with any but large ex-
petition. Since he had not yet effected
a junction with EMIN BEY. the man to
whose relief he went, there was no par
ticular necessity of his attempting
to effect communication with civ
ilizatlOn. His expedition is large
and well armed. When the deserters
left it was not far distant from the OBJ
jective point. All the iDtricacies of
African jungle travel are we'll known to
STANLEY. Therefore it is quite likely
that no word will be received from
STANLEY before he joins EMIN BEY,
and that when word does come it will be
brought by the explorer himself. In
the meanwhile there does not seem TO
be any reason for being solicitous on his
behalf.
Bad news travels quickly in any coun-
try, and had disaster befallen STANLEY
it is very probable that word would
have been brought of it by returning
StragglerS from his expedition.
