The other republican candidates claim
great comfort to themselves in the deciin-
ations of BENJAMIN Harrison to allow
his name to be used at the ST. Louis con
vention. 1t is a hard matter to see
wherein any of them are the gamers Try
Harrison's ultimatum. 1t is doubtful il
he was ever seriously thought of as a
candidate outside OF Indiana. At least
he has not figured to any great extent, il
at all, in the plans and deliberations OF
republicans Of other states, who, with
butfew exceptions, are grooming some
favorite son of their own for the race.
His political death knell was sounded
when the ballots were counted after the
last presidential election. II the repub-
leans have kindly feeling for the demo-
Gratis, and would do them favor. they
will nominate Napoleon Mckinley.
The democrats will show their apprecia-
ton OF the favor by promptly exiting
that gentleman to a political ST. Helena
In the meantime they should let Harri-
son alone, as he "has troubles of his
oWn;" he is going to be married!

The president has shown excellent
judgement in the appointment OF Edwin
r. Uhl, as ambassador to Germany. To
be sure Potter Palmer, OF Chicago, was
an applicant for the position, but has
nothing to recommend him, compared to
the qualifications OF the appointee, Mr..
Uhl. The latter, by virtue of his posi-
ton as assistant secretary OF state, has
a thorough knowledge of the status OF
all foreign questions that-haye come up
during the Cleveland administration,
particularly in connection with the re-
lations existing between this govern
ment and Germany.

The republican papers are trying to
make great handle out OF the fact that
the coming democratic convention is to
be held in the COLISEUM at Chicago, which
building they say is six miles out in the
country. All of this kind of twaddle is
simply All exhibit OF geographical ignor-
ance. The editors of such parpers should
read up a little and try and ascertain the
area of Chicago. From business center
of the city it will be some distance to the
place OF holding the convention, perhaps
as far as charged by these self-appointed
critics But steam, Or electricity will
take the delegates there in a very few
minutes. If they care to ride out d few
miles farther they will find larger city
beyond than the entire area and popu-
lation of some of the cities in which
these criticisi1lg papers are published.
For purity OF air and surroundings it
will be as far ahead OF the republican
side show at ST. Louis as the democrats
are ahead of their friends, the enemy, i'll
every thing that goes to make up aparty
of the people and for the people.

GUS FOUND HIS GOLD.
Had Hidden 1t In nm Iron Pot Under
His Cellar.

Philadelphia. Jan. ia discovery so
surprising and delightful that it almost
oyercame him " as made yesterday by Adam
Benner, when he found his long missing
81 800 in gold coin in the cellar OF his home,
No. 1883 Vienna street. Early in August
Benner and his wife determined in their
old age never again to trust their worldly
treasure to banks, as they had lost consid-
cradle money by the failure OF the Shacka-
ma xon Bank years before. They con-
cluted. consequently, TO hide their capital,
some $1,000, in an iron pot among some
iron scrap in The cellar of their home. Some
time in October man came along who was
buying old iron, and without giving the
hidden gold a second thought they sold
the cellar scrap to him, practically for
song.
Next day they thought of their gold. and
reported the supposed loss to Lieut.. Tutt!e
OF the Eleventh district who, after great
hunt traced the sold scrap iron to a dealer.
The latter In turn had sent it with other
scrap to Reading. where all traces OF it
were lost.
Benner bore his loss as best he could
until yesterday, when, in search under
the cellar steps. the long lost gold was found,
just where he himself had pat il in August,

As the reporter neared the group one OF the
men said in Il hoarse whisper:
That's the eller.''
This remark put the reporter on his guard
and he approached the men cautiously Just

said in a savage manner:
We've got twenty cases to give to
anybody who will tell us where we can
see the guys on the quiet who did that
dirty job in The Times
Then, leading the newspaper man aside,
he said in a confidential whisper
You tell me where we can find the
'gilly' who did that job, and 1 will see
that you get $20.'

The sandbaggers again became threaten
ing, aud declared that if they could find
the reporter who wrote the gamblers up
they would "fix him SO his best friend
could not recognize him.
Yes said the tall man, with a blonde
mustache, I'VE would give him a months
lay-off in the Emergency Hospital, OF maybe
his friends on The Times would have to
plant him.
AT this interesting iuncture the stalwart
form OF Policeman Tom Gordon loomed up
at the patrol box, corner of North Capitol
and streets. The thugs caught sight of
him and moved Silently away.
The same reporter was againheld up about
11:3O O'Clock this forenoon in judiciary
Square by two wcll-lresscd men, both
strangers to him, but resembling race fol
lowers and petty gamblers in their get-up.
They demanded to know If the newspaper
man was the author of what they termed
that fake stuff about Stegmaier." Being
politely Informed that he was not and had
not been connected with The Times for
several months, the two men let off lot
OF vocal pyrotechnics, and said the men
who did write the story would wish they
hadn't before they were many hours older.

PROTEST DID NOT AVAIL
Sherman Statue Committee Will
Admit all Models.
Inspection by Artist Experts Monday
and Action by Gen. Dodge and
Colleagues Thursday.

Gen. Dodge, chairman of the Sherman Statue
Committee of the Society of the cumber.
land, has arrived in town, and he announced
this morning that the inspection OF the
models submitted by the score or more Of
sculptors would take place ct once.
He also made another statement which
is OF even greater importance to all the
artists wLo have entered the competition.
This was to the effect that the petition
recently sent 10 the committee by fifteen
OF the sculptors protesting against the
admission to the competition OF several
models brought in after the time limit had
expired, would not for a moment be co.,
Sidered.
Gen. Dodge said that it was the commit
tees unanimous ruling that the clause in
the circular requiring models TO be sub
mittcd January /, should be construed to
mean that models must be shipped not later
than that date. 1t was not necessary that
they should arrive at the War Depa rtmcnt
by that time; i'll fact, there might be deIa Us
In transportation which could not be an
tcipatet, so that such ruling would he
manifcstly unfair.
The announcement is received with some
surprise, not To say with any more lively
emotion, by the artists who signed the Deti-
ton. They assert that the opinion OF many
prominent Officials connected with the War
Department was on their side, md they are
extremely disappointed at the decision.
One OF the models did not arrive until
this morning, though 1t was landed at the
custom house in New York December %.
1t Is the work of Paul Wayland Barrett, an
American artist in Paris. 1t was sent from
New York under bond to the Secretary of
War, and was delayed because the artist
assumed that the officials at the Department
were looking for il TO be shipped in that
way, while such was not the case. There
is still another model from i Paris rtist yet
TO arrive.
Gen. Dodge sad this morning that the
national sculpture commission, consisting
OF five distinguished artists, would meet
on Monday to inspect the models. This
commission is as follows: Bruce Price,
chairman; George b. Post, ID. c. French,
Augustus st. Gaudens aud Olin l.. Warner.
The sculpture commission is merely an
advisory board to the committee or the
Society of the Army OF the Tennessee, but
ii is understood that their opinions would
be regarded by the committee as having
great weight.
On Thursday the Military Committee Will
meet at the War Department library to
examine the report or the sculpture COM
mission, and it is possible that the discus
sion OF the models will be SO brief that
decision of the winner will be announced
that day.
Gen. Dodge visited the War Department
this morning, and after viewing the models
expressed himself as pleased with the gen
eral exhibition aud the extent OF the cum
petition.

A GARD.

For about three years past there has been
great deal of talk and comment in regard to
my position in politics | have always been
identified with the republican party previous
to the time mentioned above, but because
voted for some Of my democratic friends have
been called bolter and democratic negro,
and was even boycotted in my business
That all may know just where | stand and
know the motives which prompted my action, l
will make a plain declaration. l am and have
always been good republican, and when /
gave my vote to a democrat / considered the
man above his politics. l can not see how
voting for an individual democrat without sup
porting the ticket can make me democrat any
more than attending divine services at the
Methodist Tor any other church would make
me Methodist when | am a member Of the
Christian church,
The free ballot is the foundation OF all liber-
ty, and the privilege is best honored, it seems
to me, when a man casts his ballot for his indi-
vidual benefit rather than for men of whom he
knows comparatively nothing.
In future, as in the past, | shall continue
to give my support TO the republican party,
but there may be times when, in local affairs,
it would be the part of justice to gratefully ac-
knowledge friendship which is stronger than
party ties. This privilege is accorded to every
other man; why not to me?
With kindliest feelings toward friends OF all
parties, am, Respectfully
NAT HYDER.
