EVANSVILLE, Ind. Oct. 5.-Theodore
w. Vennemann, treasurer Of the Interna-

secretary Of the Western Waterways As
ISOLATION and secretary Of the International
Steam Navigation Company, died at his
home in this city at IL o'clock this morning
of consumption. Mr.. Vennemann has been
treated for three years past for nervous
troubles and a few months ago was put
into a plaster of paris mold. He made a
trip to California for his health, but was
not benefited. and about four weeks ago
went to bed and sank slowly from that
time until death relieved him. Besides the
national Offices held by him.. as detailed

Mr.. Vennemann was born In Cincinnati

graduated from college at Bardstown, KY.
in 1857, and from the Cincinnati Law
School in 1859. He read law with Hon.

The suddenness with which lawyer Golf,
of New York, has sprung into almost ma
tional notoriety shows how quick the peo-
pie are to appreciate the services Of an
able. honest and fearless man when he adj
dresses himself unselfishly to the perform
ance of a public duty. A few months ago
Mr.. Goff's name was unknown outside the
circle of his clients, and his practice not at
all in the line of criminal prosecutions.
Now he is a terror TO every political cor
ruptionist in New York and his name has
become a rallying cry for the friends Of
municipal reform such as they never had
before. He did not seek the work of pros
ecuting the investigation OF Tammany; it
was put upon him because he was believed
TO be the right man for it, AID the manner
in which he has performed the duty shows
that no mistake was made. If he is nom-
mated and elected Mayor of New York
on a nonpartisan, municipal reform plat
form. as now seems probable, he may be
expected TO do a great work in r~escuing
the city from the deadly grasp of the cor
rupt machine tina now dominates its af-
fairs.

Every bright young man in this Congress
men have a just grievance against Con-
gresham Bynum for the gross favoritism
shown by him in having his son appointed
a cadet in the United States Naval Acad-
envy. Cadetships in this academy and in
the military academy at West Point are
prizes greatly sought after by young men
all over the country. They are made by
the President on the recommendation Of the
member of Congress. Although the law
does not require that candidates shall pass
a competitive examination, that has become
the custom and the unwritten law, and
most Congressman are glad to have the
matter determined in that way. When,
therefore, Mr.. Bynum procured the rejec-
ton Of a young man who had fairly earned
the prize and had passed the examination.
and had his own son appointed in the place
of the successful competitor, he was guilty
of an act of injustice and nepotism which
should earn him the contempt of every
ambitious young man in the district. If
merit and talent are not to win in the con-
tests for cadetships in the naval and mill
tary academies, and if every bright young
man has to wait until the accidental rep
resentative in Congress has provided for
his own relatives, how long will it be be-
fore our army and navy shall become de-
moralized by nepotism and dry rot?

THE sI.ANDERERs OF HENRY.

This morning the Journal gives consider
which Bynum's ofice-holding tools in An
derson have concocted for the purpose of
injuring Charles L. Henry with the mem
bers of labor unions and wage earners
generally in this district. Every falsehood
has been taken up and so thoroughly ex-
posed that every candid man with average
intelligence can see that they are
false and impudent ISLANDERS. The men
who have made afhdavits. for the
most part, are men of no character. They
have no standing in labor organizations.
In Anderson these ISLANDERS will make
votes for Mr.. Henry, because business
Democrats who have known him for years
and esteem him as a generous and public
spirited citizen will resent this outrage of
Bynum's inspiration by voting for him.
The glass blowers and other labor union
lists in Anderson have declared for Mr..
Henry's candidacy with a unanimity and
enthusiasm never before witnessed in any
city for a candidate of a party. That of
itself is an emphatic REPUTATION of the
SANDERS. In this city, on the other hand,
there are scores of wage earners and men,
bers of labor unions who have seen the
Bynum-inspired ISLANDERS, and will believe
them if they are not fully exposed. There
fore, the Journal has laid bare. one by one,
see that every voter in this city who has
been in the way of reading the ISLANDERS
printed in the Sentinel shall have the op-
portunity to read this sweeping refuta-
ton of them. "a
