SLAUGHTER FOR PRESIDENT.


His Friends Are Pushing Him for
the Place.
It Is urged by some that the Cattle
Raisers' association might do worse
than elect A. r. Bush president for
another year. as he has made II good
presiding officer and acceptable presi-
dent In every way. but II is said on
the other hand that the position he
has taken on the Mexican importation
question will stand In the way of his
being again elected TO the place. OF
all the men mentioned so far In con-
nectidn with the office the friends
Of Colonel c. C. Slaughter Of Dallas

George Anthony is al. old friend of hers.

saw her bestow her affections upon
Anthony, who is fairly good looking
colored man. He protested and usually
got into a fight in which Ella and her
lover came off victors He continued
10 make trouble, however. and yesterday
his wife and Anthony decided to leave
Perth Amboy. Brown followed the runa-

the result.
Brown was careful not to say anything

only wants to get square with Anthony

he could not interfere in the case and fin
ally discharged the prisoners. advising
Mrs. Brown to return to her husband. She
declared she would never do that, as he
was "a dirty nigger."

NEW SILVER IDIOT.
Baker of New Hampshire Wants to
Substitute Cheap Metal for silver.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 4. 1S96-Represen-
tative Baker, of New Hampshire, has pre-
pared pan for the retirement of the
greenbacks without any expense to the
country except that of detail and involv-
ing no interest charges. Mr.. Bakers
plan authorizes the Secretary of the
Treasury to buy silver the product of
American mines only, paying therefore in
silver dollars or silver certificates issued
upon the coined silver. It further pro-
vides that the coinage of silver pur-
chased shall be as rapid as circumstances
will permit; that as often as once a
month the Secretary of the Treasury
from the greenbacks on hand shall can
eel and destroy an amount equal to the
silver coin, thus reducing the outstanding
demand notes of the Government as rapid
ly as the silver is coined This course.
in Mr.. Bakers opinion, prevents either q
contraction or imitation of the currency,
and retires all the notes so gradually as
not to interfere with business. A further
provision of his bill. which embodies the
notes of $5 or less shall be first can
osalled and destroyed and that there
after no new notes of a less denomination
than $40 shall be issued by the Government
or any national bank.

Speculation Over the Destination of
Admiral BuHce,s Fleet

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4, 1S96.-The de-
tention of Admiral Bunee's squadron at
Hampton Roads for the last two weeks,
although it was ready to commence it's
cruise promptly on December q, ac-
cording to the programme laid down by
Secretary Herbert, was at first generally
supposed to be due to a reluctance on the
part of the Administration to permit even
the implied menace of it's presence in
the West Indies during the excitement
following the Presidents Venezuelan mes
sage Congress of December H. The
explanation was plausible enough to salts
fly everyone for several days. Now even
the commanding officers of the ships
forming the feet are beginning to be mys-
titled by the prolonged delay. Such alb
sence of information about a squadron's
movements is said to be unprecedented
in time of peace, especially when Its
daily itinerary for me ensuing 4He 1,e
wives and other relatives of many OF the
officers had made engagements to meet
the vessels at several ports where they
would rendezvous for several days stay,
there is considerable concern lest these
meetings will be rendered altogether i'm
possible.
of rumors are in circulation among the
ships, according to letters received here,
and the latest OF these, which IS not
wholly without believers even in the
Navy Department, proceeds on an as
sumption that Admiral Bunce has sealed
orders which may at any moment send
him with his entire force to the Bos-
phorus. Even the most conservative Off
GERS are disposed to attach some credence
to the idea, modifying it, however, to the
opinion that Gibraltar or the Azores may
be the first stopping place of the squad
ron after leaving the Chesapeake instead
of ST. Thomas West Indies. There are
a number of significant facts, which
grouped together, seem to give probable
ity to the rumor.
Admiral Selfridge and Minister Terrell
have been sending a good many cable
grams to Washington in the last three
weeks, and the State and Navy Depart
ments have spared no expense in cable
bills since early in December On the
18th Secretary Olney got cablegram

holders. Had bomb been exploded the
committeeman would doubtless have
been no more surprised. There was
small panic. There were shouts of"table
the notion" and few other unpleas-
ant things.
Mr. Manning was as much surprised
as anyone else.
Robert Davis brought discussion to an
abrupt close on that subject by an
nouncing that it would be more becom-
ing in the committee to pass resolutions
of coincidence relative to the death of
Judge McGrath than to start in trying
70 name his successor.
Counsellor Manning's friend insisted
upon the original motion and P. H.
O'Neill called for the ayes and nays.
Some one moved to adjourn and in short
order pandemonium reigned. In the
midst of it all P. H. O'Neil offered
resolution that all appointments by De-
mocratie Boards be first submitted to
the County Committee for ratification.
This was hot shot at NJ. J. Coyle, who
was recently appointed by the Freehold
ers Superint of the Boulevard. A
motion to table the resolution was put.
Everybody wanted to discuss it and
parliamentarian at the top of his voice
declared that a motion to table was not
debatable That didn't make any differ
ence to ONeill and he called for the
ayes and nays.
In the midst of the racket Robert
Davis insisted upon his motion for the
appointment of a committee to draft
resolutions relating DO the death of
Judge McGraith. His motion was carried
and Messrs. Davis, O'Neill, Mulvaney
Young and Manning were appointed on
the committee.
At this juncture Counsellor Manning
thanked his friends for suggesting his
name as counsel to the Freeholders and
concluded by saying that to discuss the
question was a matter of time as he
knew he had no chance of getting the
office.
O'Neill renewed his fight ON the reso-
luton to approve appointments, but he
had no supporters. AT ieast fifty mo-
tions TO knock the resolution out were
made and on all of. them P. H. demand
ed the call Of the yeas and nays. In one
instance this was consented to. The
secretary had scarcely begun calling the
rol when the members began to leave
the hall. About ten names had been
called when someone called for adjourn
ment. O'Neill saw he was beaten ana
offered no objection
Davis was talking to a friend near the
door when Daniel Y. Lewis approached
him Lewis was in "a state of mind.
"You are surrounded byaa gang of bad
advisers" he said to Davis. "They are
lot of teaches and the sooner you get
rid of them the better"
81 would advise you," replied Davis,
calmly, 'to cut loose from your advis-
ers. If you don't you will get in trouble.
l know my business and I will attend to
it. You had better look out for Dan

Davis showed no disposition to con-
tinue the discussion and Lewis went
home. There will be a meeting of the
committee next week and the fight Of
