The announcement that David I. Beals, n

paid ransom of $4,000 for the restoration
of his two-year-old son, who had been
stolen by n nurse girl, suggests benighted

M Blaine VIII Not be u Candidate.
The latest political announcement from
Washington is that Mr.. Blaine will not be
II candidate for The republican nomination
for president in 1892, but the details of
tho information show that it is still not
impossible that he may be nominated Ac-
cording to this story Mr.. Blaine broached
the subject during an informal conversation
with President Harrison with reference to
the general political situation. Mr.. Blaine
is reported to have said it was against his
wish and that of his family to have his
name go before the convention as the op-
ponant of the president, hut he was pre-
pared to do whatever was deemed best for
the party's interests lie evon said that
he was willing to write letter saying that
he would not allow his namo to be present.
ed, but the president said his position was
such that he could not advise the secretary
what course 20 pursue
The reason assigned for Mr. Blane's atti-
tude with reference to the presidency is his
anxiety concerning his health which is now
restored and which 10 does not care again
to jeopRrdi2e. The effect of this decision
will, of course, be to shut out all other can,
ddntes except Mr.. Harrison, because no
others will venture to place their names in
the fold until Mr.. Blaine's final attitude is
made known. 1t looks therefore as if Mr.
Harrison would be renominated unless there
should be e spontaneous and practically
unanimous demand for MIR. Blaine to allow
the Use Of his name

had no time for consultation, that Co. might
take its proper place. We were ordered to

broke and ran. except one officer, who foOlishly
refused to surrender and therefore was cut
down. After passing the cannon the command

Capture Of Gen. Adams.

p. Himrod. IO5th Ohio. Sterling, Kan, says
that the account of the capture of Gen. Adams
at Chickamauga by Comradc Jones, 29th Ohio,
is substantially correct. On the second day OF
the battle the l05th Ohio was lying in reserve
a short distance in rear of the front line To
their right was BTannan's Division, and in
their rear battery Of artillery. Some of
Brauuan's regiments gave way aud Gen. Rey-
nods ordered the i0Ith up, half-wheeling them
to the right, aud gave the command TO charge.
AS they went forward parts of the broken rcgi-
ments rallied and went with them, aud they
drove the rebels from among the guns Of the
battery and some distance beyond. When
they returned they brought with them the
rebel Gen. Adams. The last the writer saw of
him he was lying on q stretcher in charge of
some of the men of the 105th Ohio, who said that
hs had n broken arm. The writer makes this
statement because he has several times seen
in our paper accounts which stated that he was
captured by some of Gen. Van Derveers Bri-
gade, who were not near the place at that
time.
