Springfield Republican as daily obituary

more acceptable. Having subscribed for the

We learn from report sent to Washing

sherry wine product Of Spain for the past year

kind that is passably good. or. better STILL one

We have a rumor from Lansing that the
lone and only Democratic member OF the Legis-
lature of Michigan will vote for EDWIN F. UHL
Of Washington for United States Senator. We
must trust that the Lansing rumor is without
foundation. and that the one man who upholds
the honor of the Democratic party in the Michi-
gan Legislature will nominate and vote for
somebody other than UHL. II is CHL who must
be held responsible. at least In part, for the
bungling OF the state Department during Mr..
CLEvELAND's Administration. He holds the
office Of First Assistant Secretary of State under
WALTER Q. GRESHAM the man who has brought
discredit upon our Government by his misman-
agement Of its foreign affairs. Mr.. UHI is a
poor specimen OF a Democrat, an unworthy ex-
emplar OF America nism, and he certainly does
not deserve the honor of receiving that proud
vote. which. as 1t "a rumored, Brother DONOVAN.
the lone Democrat, intends to give him. Mr..
DONOVAN had better vote for the Republican
nominee than for UHL of the State Department.

THE GALVESTON CUP.
The ThurstOn Rifles Not Disbanded.
According to Lieut.. E0Ye


According to Lieut.. FOye.
The reported claim CT the Morton Cadets
for the possession of the Galveston semi
centennial championship cup. because of
the alleged DISARMAMENT of the Thurston
Rifles of Omaha, Neb., has been the SUBJ
ject of much comment not only in this city
but among military men generally through
out the country interested in interstats
competitive drills. Capt. Shilling this after
noon received the following communication
relating to the matter from First Lieut..
w. ]. Foye, commanding the Thurston
Rifles:
Il notice from press reports that you
have filed protest against the Thurston
Rifles possession of the Galveston chal-
ler &c cup-that this action of yours is
caused by direct information from Omaha
Thurstcn Rifles have been disbanded since
returning from Memphis. If you have filed
any such protest you are evidently acting
in good faith, but certainly under misap-
prehension, which, if followed might lead
to considerable embarrassment for you and
your company. The Thurston Rifles, or
ganized October, 1893, and mustered into
the Nebraska National Guard December,
1888 as company L, first regiment infantry,
are now and have been sine: then the
strongest military company in the state,
with no thought of disbanding, and, in fact.
are now making preparations to protect
their title of champion military company
of the United States in the interstate con-
test next year. If You have received any
contrary advices regarding the Thurston
Rifles you have been imposed upon. as you
can readily verify by writing to the adj
jutant general of this state. 1 write You
the above information that you may act
intelligently in the matter. 1 will consider
it a great personal favor If you will kindly
furnish me the name of the party who has
SO misrepresented our company
According to Capt. Shilling the Morton
Cadets have made no claim for the cup.
When the statement was announced that
the ThUrston Rifles had dishanded the mat
ter was discussed at some length by the
members of the company, and several OF
them drafted letter to be sent to the adj
jutant general of Texas. On second
thought however, the idea was abandoned.

of the society, Mr.. Louis P. Whitaker, pre-
sliced, and after an organ solo, which was
fil.ely rendered by Prof Charles ]. Toof,
the oIganist of tie church, he introduced
the speaker of the evening, Mr. William
Elleroy Curtis. 1t would be more correct
to say that the president made some prefa-
tory remarks. for Mr.. Curtis is member
of the society, and last year was it's eff
Gent president, and therefore needed no in

odd things that he observed during his re-
cent visit to Japan, and his talk proved en-
ter tanning and interesting. Mr.. Curtis must
be a good traveller, but 1t is certain that
he is good observer, and knows how to
tell what he cees ard hears. HI touched
upon various phases of life in Japan, and
at the close of his address he exhibited sew
eral handsome articles of native costume.

quality of his splendid voice. Refresh

WHITNEY NOT A CANDIDATE.
His Reasons Are TwO-FOld-Busine
Interests Too Great.

interests Too Great.
From the New York Herald.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, November 10.
1S95.-William c. Whitney's rumored cand-
dacy for President is positively denied by
one of Phiadelphia's most prominent finan-
ciers who is closely connected with Mr..
Whitney in the traction syndicate and
other enterprises.
He declined to have his name used, but
he has given consent that what he said be
used publicly. He says that it Is true that
when President Cleveland visited Mr.. Whit
ney on the occasion of Miss Whitney's mar
riage he and his eX-Secretary Of the Navy
did discuss national politics at the meeting
between them, but it is true also that Mr..
Whitneys name was not mentioned In con-
nection with the democratic nomination,
nor did Mr.. Cleveland express desire that
Mr. Whitney should become the democrau
standard bearer in next years presidential
struggle.
Emphatic In His Answer.
The Philadelphia, who is closely asso-
ciated with Mr.. Whitney in business. asked
him a day or two ago to define his position
on the question of his becoming the demo-
cratic nominee for President. He wanted to
know for business reasons. Mr.. Whitney is
said to have been emphatic in his answer.
Il have denied that report SO often,' he
is quoted as having said, that do not in
tend paying any more attention to it. But
to you 1 will repeat that which l have so
often publicly stated, Under no considera-
ton will accept the nomination for Presi-
dent My objections are two-fold. First, 1
have no desire to sacrifice my business in
| terests, which 1 would be compelled to do
if my candidacy resulted in my election;
and, second, 1 have no desire to be relegat-
ed to oblivion, and this is the fate of many
men after their presidential term or terms
end You can rest assured that my name
will not head the democratic presidential
ticket next year." concluded Mr.. Whitney.
He Meant Every Word He Said.
And he meant every word he said" re-
marked the Philadelphia to whom Mr..
Whitney made the above statement, and
who is the Herald's informant.
"Mr. Whitney knew" he continued. that
it was necessary I should know his true po-
sition in the matter. His statements, there
FORE is to be wholly relied upon, and you
have my permission to repeat it, though 1
prefer that my name be not used in con-
nection with it."
