Rear Admiral Chandler, commanding the Asiatic
station, reports to the Navy Department, under
date Of Kobe. Japan, August "a, that the Brooklyn
sailed from Nagasaki for New York, by
way OF Honolulu aud Cape Horn. Her sails are well
worn and she will probably require a new set
at Honolulu. The Essex sailed from Yoko-
hama, August 18th, for Chemulpo Corea,
as relief OF the Juniata, which had been
az the latter port since the 25th
Of June. A japanese man-Of.war recently ran
atoul Of the Juniats in the roadstead
Of Chemulpo and carried away The
lower boom and 1ib-boom but did no serious
damage. The Juniata would sail from
Chemulpo, August 2o, for Nagasak, and
thrn proceed to New York by way or Suez Tue
invaded men and general court-martial prisoners
OF The Brooklyn have been transferred to the Juni-
alta for passage home. The Palost Is al Nagasak and

REsIGNKD.-John A. Blevins, OF Missouri, q third
signed
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1888-04-25
One of the Boys for Shermn,,

Bob'' McCord, who is one of the most
loyal and whole-souled of the boys, is said
to have announced his preference for John
Sherman as the Republican Presidential
candidate, on the ground that the contest
will be in New York City below Fourteenth
street, that sit will require money to con-
duct winning campaign below Fourteenth
street, and Sherman can furnish it," We
have no doubt, says the New York Evening
Post, that this is the view of all the BOYS.
1t was the one which Johnny O'Brien held
when he appeared before the Republican
County Committee in January last and de-
fed them to discipline" him on peril of los
ing the Presidential election.
His contention then was that the contest
would be decided not merely below Four
teenth street, but in OBrien's district, He
SAID nothing about money being required to
conduct winning fight" but that was
unnecessary. Every body present knew
that without money there would be no fipht
whatever 1t will be great mistake. III
ever, for Mr.. Sherman or any other candi-
date to conclude that because so much
money is needed below Fourteenth street
none will be necessary above. There is not
boy in the city who will not make great
demands, for they are all alive to the fact
that the approaching campaign is likely to
be the last one in which they will ever have
chance to 'handle surplus" in the strug-
gle to protect the American worling-mep
against the pauper labor of Europe.

IIili's Horse sense

1t seems that though late in the day Gov
ernor Hill, of New York, has begun to give
evidence Of the possession of that which it
had been supposed he did not have-hard
horse sense. 1t Is now announced that he
will soon write a letter declaring that he is
not now and never has been q candidate for
President.
Though this latter assertion, in view of
David's long silence may be expected to
raise smile of incredulity, there will be no
disposition to disbelieve tho first statement
that he is not now q candidate. Governor
Hill would possess less than ordinary intel
hgence If he were a candidate in view of
the general disinclination to entertain but
one name at this particular juncture
If Governor Hill possesses but common
shrewdness and political discernment he
can not fail to observe that there Ia n
universal cry, not confined to Democrats
alone, for the reelection of Mr.. Cleveland.
There Is no thought, says the St Paul Globe,
OF any one else, except among few dis
gruntled politicians, and least of all is there
any thought of Governor Hill. He owes his
present prominence entirely 10 accidental
association with President Cleveland, and
though he is doubtless an able man and
good Democrat the general public would
fan to recognize any legitimateg round upon
which he might base Presidential aspira-
| tions.
1t is creditable to his intelligence that he
now recogizes this fact himself and though
his announcement that he is not a candidate
has been already discounted he will find
that very general appreciation will greet it
from those who are interested in the con-
tinued success of Democracy and honest
government
