To Hon, N. D. Scott:
DEAR SIR:-The Republicans OF West
Virginia must realize that lust now they
stand in the most conspicuous position,
In place where they can do the Repub-
lican party the most good. They have
broken the Solid South; they have only
10 hold the line that they won. This
will give them immense prestige for the
present and the future. General Golf
Is a worthy and magnificent leader. 1t
Is fortunate that the Solid South is
broken In tho State which is under the
leadership OF so great and SO spotless n
man.
The cry against Republican ascen.
dency in any Southern State heretofore
has been against the leadership and
against carpet.bag and unworthy leader
ship. None OF these things lie as against
General Gol. He IL secure from any
such assault; splendid and spotless in
every respect, a Southern nun, loyal
leader, the very man, us Think, to lead
tho South into the Republican column.
| know how calamity your Republicans
have fought, how much they deserve,
and trust that in the hour Of victory
they will not allow anything by the way
Of diplomacy, indlreCtlon, to say moth.
ing OF coercion and bulldozing, to cheat
them, aad the Republican party ut large,
from the fruits Of such u triumph.
1t Is all important, and even more so
to the party at large than 10 the Repub.
licans OF West Virginia, that this victory
be held. Revolutions cannot go back
ward. We have West Virginia now,
and having earned 1t, We should hold 1t,
aud shall gain other Southern States In
the Congressional election in 1900, and
in the National election in 1902.
With congratulations to you, and also
with thanks for your own services, and
with renewed appeal to the Republicans
OF your State to stand firm, and to hold
the line, / am, Cordially yours,
US. CLARHSoN.

A ROMANCE.
An English Estatp to be Divided RstwSsu
-Four Br0lheFs,

ouIcAao, Jan, 17,-Aiter numerous
disappoiutments and long delays, the
four Falquet brothers, one Of whom is q
resident Of Chicago, arc on the point
Of having divided among them $500, 900,
There Is a spice Of romance behind
this statement. About thirty.elght years
ago Alexander h, FalQuet arrived in
Cincinnati. His accomplishments and
Feputed wealth opened To him the doors
Of the best people, One OF the city's
bellies soon fell In love with him. The
young lady's name was Harriet s, Col,
Inns, They were married shortly after,
and the result Of the union was four
sons,
At the birth Of the youngest child,
Falquet, having become enamored OF an
other woman, and learning that an In.
heritance was coming TO him In France,
deserted his wife and sailed for Europe,
his wife lost her reason on account OF
her desertlon, and was placed In the
Newburg Insane Asylum, near Clever
land, One OF the boys went as an ap,
prentice to section boss on the Lake
Shore road; a second was placed in an
orphan asylum near Cincinnati; another
was adopted by Mr., and Mrs, Barwise, OF
SedaInsville, o., and the fourth, Eugene
y. Falqlet, now Of this city, was taken
by Prof, ], s, Palmer, then Of Putin.
Bay Island, Ohio, but now Of Joliet, this
State,
The estate TO which the boys will sue
coed was formerly unimproved property
on the outskirts Of London, England, It
was converted intp money by the Crown,
the thea owner, Caroline Grove, leaving
no will and no known heirs, Before the
English statute OF limitations ran against
the recovery Of any part Of the estate by
my Of the heirs, il was discovered that
Caroline Grove was a granddaughter Of
Mark Thornaluay and o daughter OF
one OF the falquets, The discovery In.
Iercsted Hugh Pugh, Of Cincinnati. who
learned something OF the American fam
ly Of that name, and after short time
le WINS NblO 10 show that the members
d itwero in reality the rightful heirs OF
,he Grove estate.
In tue meantime two brothers, cllim.
ng TO DO the descendants Of one OF the
daughters OF Thornaquay, nearly estab-
ished claim to the property. On the

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 17.-General Har.
rison had an unusually large number Of
callers to-day, both from out OF town
and ut home. Among the many callers
were George Short and o. P. McIlreath,
two railroad men from Cleveland,
Ohio, who had o brief interview. To
the reporters they let 1t be known that
they were friends Of Governor Foraker,
and were opposed TO the Hon. SIT.
Everett, Of Cleveland, becoming n mem
ber Of President Harrison's Cabinet as
that gentleman was closely identified
with the Sherman element in Ohio.
They intimated that they had said as
much 10 the Presidentelect.
II Is asserted strongly by gentlemen
In position 10 know, that neither Mr..
Everett nor his friends are making an
effort toward a cabinet place. The visit
Of Messrs, Short aud Mcllrath was,
therefore, q matter OF surprise when
they made public their mission.
A prominent Southern visitor was
Capt, Z. w. Ward, OF North Carolina, q
sou Of Gen. w. I. Ward, who for time
commanded the division. TO which Gen.
Harrison's brigade was attached. Capt.
Ward Is an anti.NIahone man and came
as the representive OF North Carolina
Republicans TO tell the Presidentclecl
that his people preferred ex.Congress'
man DoCkery TO General Malone.
General Harrison's mail seems to
steadily increase the nearer the fourth
OF March approaches. Calendars by the
score have arrived from all parts OF the
country, but the bulk Of hfs mail con.
sists OF applications for office.
A story has been going the rounds ol
tho press purporting TO give an account
OF Mrs. Harrison being snuhbed by Mrs
Blaine on a social occasion at the White
House, during General GarReld's ad
ministratIon. 1t Is reliably learned TO
day that there Is no truth In this story
which consequently does Mrs. Blaine
cruel Injustice.
