CONSULTING HER FATHER.-Young
Mr.. Charles II. Isidore Coshinigin of
Harlem, was plainly embarrassed.
For some minutes he had rested unea-
silly in his chair, and Miss Smith OF
Ninth street, near Second avenue,
upon whom he was calling, knew
what was coming-or thought she
did-and her heart throbs were as the
ticking of a clock.
"Er-Miss Smith," he said, fever
ishly, "could I-er-see your father
for a moment or two ?"
"My father?" she repeated with q
blush, certainly, Mr.. Coshinigin,' y
and excusing herself, she swept from
the parlor.
Presently the old man came in, and
after short conversation with Mr.
Coshinigin, he stepped to the door and
summoned his daughter.

igin, whose face was radiant, "and
have long ride before me, I think
will say good night. Will have the
pleasure of finding you at home on
Wednesday evening, Miss Smith ?"
Miss Smith blushingly assured him
that he would, and young Coshinigin
was en- route to Harlem.

and then she stopped.
"You must ask no questions" said
the old man, and he smiled as he
stroked his daughters hair fondly'
"Mr. Coshinigin wished to see me in
regard to little matter which, for the
present, must remain a secret"
"I know, papa" pleaded the girl,
"but you might give me just little
hint of what it was-just a word
papa"
"Oh! WE'LL" he replied very indul-
gently, "since you must know, Mr.
Coshinigin wanted to borrow five
cents to get to Harlem with"

SHERMAN S SIZING UP.
OF the Political Situation as II Now
Looks TO Him.

New York. April 29.-The Tribune says
that Senator John Sherman was taken
to task for his statement about ex-Presi-
dent Harrison. printed day or two ago.
He was asked whether the ex-president
would be a candidate for the nomination
at st. Louis He was quoted as saying
I'm reply Not IL he Is an honorable man."
Mr.. Sherman said in explanation: Il
am afraid that the point has been drawn
alittle too strong. i simply said that in
point OF honor General Harrison could
not be a candidate for the nomination
at the hands OF his party, as he had pro-
fessed himself to be out Of the race.
There is a possibility, though not prob
ability, that the anti Mckinley senti-
ment may crystalline and select Harri
son as a candidate TO support While he
might be selected as compromise can
didate, do not believe, however, that ii
will go that far, as il looks TO me as IL
Mckinley would be nominated. L don't
know on what ballot or under what con-
ditions 1t will be, but believe that the
Ohio man will be nominated and elected.
If Harrison were nominated / do not
doubt that he would accept. as there Is
no record of presidential nomination
ever being refused. Harrison would not.
however. be a strong man to nominate,
fer while Ae- -Aas- the record of a pros
porous administration and is sound and
able, yet he lacks magnetism and GER
tain popularity"
Mr.. Sherman does not take much stock
in the candidacy of Governor Morton.
He said, in speaking of the canvass for
delegates TO the convention: II see that,
according to General Grosvenor's fig
ures, Morton has not the entire delega-
ton from his own state He does not
seem to have gained delegate outside
of the state. While there is some talk
OF his getting delegates from the south,
there is nothing in that, as the south Is
for protection and free silver If ii can
get IL. Morton does not stand pre-em-
inently for protection. and is, moreover,
a hard money man. That makes him
unpopular in the south"
Senator Sherman said he did not care
to discuss the probable second choice
states Whose fayorite sons We're in the
field; but he took Senator Quay as being
in earnest in Pennsylvania. AS for the
platform at st. Louis he said that IL
would be practically a declaration In
favor of the single gold standard, prob
ably with a clause about bimetallism IL
a proper ratio can be ascertained and
maintained by international agreement,
which he declares To be almost impossi-
bic. The senator said that he believed
the free-silver men would capture the
Democratic convention and declare for
the white metal, and added that then II
would simply be foregone victory for
the Republicans. The senator said that
the Ohio platform was not a straddle.
but practical declaration for the gold
standard.

,rasKa Democracy at the Chicago com
Down In Alabama.

Montgomery. Ala, April 29.-The Re-
publicans of Alabama held two state
conventions here yesterday. One, the
Mckinley convention, adopted a ring
ing anti-free silver and protection plat
form and determined TO put a straight
out Republican ticket in the field, headed
by General j. w. Burke of Calhoun, a
high-class Republican. The other.
composed of all the anti McKinley fac
tors, adopted platform declaring
that all the other issues in Alabama
were subservient 10 one-fair elections
and, therefore. all issues excepting
this were avoided in the platform.
Sound money" and protection are not
referred TO In It. A resolution was
adopted by the anti Mckinley forces
that the Republicans fuse in the state
elections with Populists. allowing the
latter to name the nominee for govern
or, and dividing the balance Of the state
ticket between the parties. The anti
Mckinley convention nominated four
delegates to st. Louis. The delegates
are said to be divided in their prefer
cnces, each one favoring Quay, Allison,

In the interest of II. II. Holmes, the con-

admits that reprieve will be applied
for One OF the principal reasons for
this step is that Holmes has become tired

would divulge the names of several men
who aided him. Mr.. Bullock refused TO
mention the name of anyone equally
guilty with Holmes. and he rather mys-
teriously intimated that the end of the
