CHICAGO, ILL.,, June Especial, IA
special from Fort Worth, Texas, says:
Conservative members Of the Texas
delegation to Chicago, never conceded
that Blaine had % votes from Texas.
Since his recent letter from Paris to
Whitelaw Reid, Blaine's boom has wilt
ed in Texas, and has begun to decay.
Sherman's boom has witnered cUnslu
erably from neglect OF the Literary
Bureau" at Washington, while Gresh-
ANS boom seems to be growing.
NEW YORK, Juue Especial. 1.-The
fact that Geo. VIM. Curtis, of Harper's
Weekly. has been reelected President
of the National Civil Service Reform
League, is regarded as significant. Cur
tbs is known to favor Cleveland for
President, as against either Blaine,
Sherman, Harrison, Allison or Alger.
His reelection in view of this we'll
known preference, indicates that the
so-called Mugwump element will sup
port President Cleyeland's candidacy
in the coming campaign.

The present indications are that Gov.
Gray, of Indiana, will secure the nOmi-
nation for Vice Presidency atSt. Louis.
Congressman Cultivate, of Columbus,
who speaks for Senator Thurman, says
it is impossible on account of impaired
health and old age for Senator Thur

attacks of the Washington Post on
Gov. Gray, have reacted in his favor,
and his nomination is now predicted at
st. Louis by the most sagacious poll
ticians at the Capital, notwithstanding
the violent opposition Of ex-senator
NEW YORK, June Especial. THE
statement published yesterday with re-
gard to General Sherman's absence
from the Decoration Day review and
from memorial services at Metropolitan
Opera House i'll the evening, that the
only living American General had been
overlooked in giving out invitations,
was received with incredulity both by
the Grand Army men and the public.
1t caused great indignation here that
the Grand Army should overlook or
forget the greatest living soldier of the
war. That General Sherman should
have been forgotten seems almost i'm
possible, but it turns out to be true.
NEW YORK, June Especial. jus
tice Maurice j. Power, who came over
from Washington on Thursday with the
President, says the New York delega-
ton will be solid for Thurman for Vice
President. He has informed all the
leaders that it has been settled that
Judge Thurman will accept the nOmi-
nation, which he feels sure will be unan-
imOus. Tim Campbell, who was also
one of the Presidential party on the trip
from Washington, says that he has in
structions to go for Thurman, and that
they were given by higher authority
than Judge Power. The New York
delegation intends to hold a meeting in
st. Louis on Monday afternoon to pass
a resolution favoring Thurman.

NJ. Stanley and the FWandering jew"
have a rival in little Josie Friend, a 10
year old son of Joseph Friend, a resi-
dent of this city. Josie has great pro-
pensity for travelling and ever since he
was seven years of age he has taken
trips in every direction and to all parts
of the Union. He is a freak in that
his wandering inclinations are not the
result of trashy literature, but rather
natural. When seven years old Josie

train and had to steal a ride home.
But the younger fellow continued the
trip and reached Keokuk. The agent
sent him home. Three months later he
