MISS ROBINSON, LAWYER.
She Appeals to the Supreme Court t
BE Notary Public.


BE Notary Public.
Miss Nellie G. Robinson, the Cincinnati
lawyer, is In the city on a mission that
affects an interesting phase of the new
woman question. Some time ago she ap-
piled to then Governor Mckinley for ap-
TO Etment a notary public. The gov
ernor was desirous of making the appoint
ment, but he feared that the constitution of
the state would not permit such an inno-
vaton. Hence he denied the application
and advised the modern Portia to apply
to the supreme court of the state for a
writ of mandamus to compel the appoint
ment. She did so. and after the usual de-
lay, judgment was rendered adverse to her
claim and denying the writ. Miss Robin
son, however. refused to accept this as
final, and she has now come to Washing
ton to apply to the Supreme Court of the
United States for writ of error against
the supreme court of Ohio, commanding
the issuance of writ Of mandamus
against Governor Bushnell to compel the
appointment. This matter falls within the
jurisdiction Of Justice Harlan, whose cir
cult. the sixth, includes Ohio, and to him
Miss Robinson will present her case.

Assurance to Illinois Democrats Re-
garding the President.
DOWNING THE THIRD TERM SPECqER
Positive Announcement by Ex-
Mayor Hopkins.
EFFORT TO SECURE HARMONY
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CHICAGO, May 22.-Illinois sound money
denlocratS think they have the latest news
about President Cleyeland's intentions
They say they have the assurance that he
is not a candidate, and 1t is an assurance
on which they can rely. This is not Post
master Hesing's year-old confidential talk
in Washir gton with Mr.. Cleveland, but Is
up-to-date information direct from head
quarters. The substance of it all is that
the President has too much respect for the
American people to seek a third term OIL
to be put in the attitude of having the
nomination seek him.
The occasion for making public this dec
laration grows out of the split among the
Illinois democrats on the morey question
The sound money democrats in the begin
ming of their campaign found they would
be stronger If 1t were known that there
no third term specter back of the
movement. They went forward with the
understanding that they would not be en-
barrassed by anybody's candidacy. Re-
cent newspaper dispatches from Washing
ton have stated that Mr.. Cleveland's asso-
ciates wer. still in doubt concerning his
intentions, and that he was once more
looked upon as 4 receptive" candidate.
In consequence the sound money demo-
Gratis were CO He'd on for explanations AZ
ter interval of two or three days they
give the explanation in the form of posi-
tive statement.
Mr.. Cleveland" says ex-Mayor Hop
kins, sis not a candidate. His name will
not be pre- scnted to the Chicago conven-
ton. He has the same interest that every
true democrat has in keeping the party
from going wrong On silver. We are not
thinking O. candidates here in Illinois. The
first thing is to save the party
Mr.. Hopkins Is the head of the sound
leadership depends the contest which will
be made tc send an anti-silver delegatio
to the national convention. His words are
accepted by his followers authoritat tive.
He does Tot claim to know of any letter
from the President, yet the sound money
democratic leaders in private talk even
more positively than they do for publica-
ton that Mr.. Cleveland is not candidate.
Some confirmation of these statements
is found in Controller Eckels' course. The
controller has, at various times, been ac-
cused of advocating the denomination OF
Mr.. Cleveland. During his recent visit ne
confided to his friends an impression that
the talk of third term was distasteful to
the President, though he cautioned them
against crediting reports of anybody car
rying around letter from Mr.. Cleveland.
Mr.. Eckels did not seem to think the Pres
ident would be heard from in this manner.
