1t is stated that the withdrawal of the

tive men urge delay until the Demo
Gratis shall have named their ticket.
BENJAMIN II. BRIsTow, who was quite
prominent in politics twenty years ago,
died in New York on Monday. He was
Solicitor General under President Grant
and later was Secretary of the Treasury.
1t was during his term of Office that the
whiskey ring we're brought to judgment.
Mr.. Bristow was prominent candidate
for the Presidency at the Cincinnati
Convention. Remarks the Times Her
aid: "Mr. Bristow received on the fourth
ballot support second only to that of
Blaine. The latter had 292 votes. Bris-
tow 126, while Hayes. who eventually
won the honor. had 6S. Still, so rapidly
does time change the face OF things that
the death of Bristow excites scarcely
moments attention in campaign which
has for its central figure William Nc
Kinley, who in 1876, when Bristows
name was on all lips. won his first great
fight and was elected a member of con-
gress from Ohio"
