SHORT SKETCH OF MICKEY
Serves i'm the Army Before He f. of
Age and Later Engages
in Business.

LINCOLN. June 19.-(Special Telegram.)
John H. Mickey, who heads the republican
state ticket as candidate for governor, is a
man slightly below medium height, OF
rugged build and kindly expression. He is
an Iowan by birth and 81 years OF age.
Asked to tell something about himself he
modestly replied in response to pertinent
questions:
81 was born in 1916, near Burlington, la.
My father was a farmer and l was raised on
a farm. My education was obtained In
the common schools Of the place, but was
finished off after / returned from the war
by two years attendance at Wesleyan col
lege at Mount Pleasant. Although not yet
of age l mad enlisted in August. 1853, in
Company D Of the Eighth Iowa cavalry, in
which l served until mustered out under a
general order in August, 1865. My career
in the army was fairly active. Our first as
signment was for scouting in central Ten
nessee. In the spring Of 1854 we went
through with the Sherman campaign from
Chattanooga to Atlanta, laying the founda-
tions for Sherman's famous march to the
sea. In the fall of that year we were with
Thomas and Hoods expedition to Nashville,
engaging the enemy at Frankville and at
Nashville.
After the war l went back to Iowa, and
then in 1868 came to Nebraska, taking n
homestead in Polk county. Before leaving
Iowa / had married in September OF 1857.
My wife was Miss Marinda McCray OF Des
Moines county, Iowa. OF my domestic life
all / need to say is that / have nine chill
dren, five boys and four girls, all alive,
three Of them married. / lived on my Polk
county homestead until 1872, when l moved
my residence to Osceola, having been
L oboaap oopotu fraaorrar Tbaxy Lant no u
the office Of county treasurer for ten years,
ture of 1881, but 1 never occupied any other
public position. l am now president OF
the OsceOla bank. ! am farming a tract of
24O acres and am engaged in stock raising,
making a speciality OF fine Shorthorn breeds.
II was born and raised a Methodist
and have been constantly identified with
that church, active more especially In
promoting it's educational work. l
am president of the Board OF
Trustees OF the Wesleyan university at
University Place. l believe in broad and
liberal education for all the people. l would
have no sectarianism in any public insti-
tuition, although l believe that there is
work for the sectarian colleges outside OF
and in addition to that OF the State uni
~yersity.
In politics l nave always Deen a re-
publican. In my speech before the conven-
ton l recalled voting for Abraham Lincoln
when l was only 19-years Of age. I ought
to have explained that this was under a
special act of the legislature OF Iowa pro-
viding that all soldiers in the field should
be allowed to vote without regard to age
and their ballots sent home. IS l have
said, / hope to make an active campaign
and enlist the cooperation OF every repub-
lican in Nebraska"

PEACE COMPLETELY RESTORED
Don Feline B~uencamin says There L.
No Opposition
IN Philippines.

CHICAGO, June 19.-Don Felipe Buenca-
tnino, who was secretary OF state In
Aguinaldo's cabinet. will make Chicago the
principal stopping place in his tour Of com
mercial Investigation in the United states.
He arrived from ST. Louis last night and
will remain here until he hears from Canton,
where he hopes to call on Mrs. Mckinley,
IL her health will permit the visit.
Don Felipe has come to learn about the
political and commercial prospects OF the
Philippines and has already visited Wash
%ington, Atlanta and st. Louis. He is
strongly in favor OF the continuance Of
American rule in the archipelago.
my objects in coming to this country
are many" said he. 81 want to explain to
the people of the United States the situa-
tion in the Philippines at the present time;
to ask for amnesty for former rebels; for
further educational facilities for the people,
such as an appropriation permitting the
education of young Filipinos in this coun-
try; TO secure 5000 more American teachers
in the Islands at higher salaries than they
are at present receiving, and to collect data
to hold an exposition in Manila In honor Of
the Philippine hero, DR.. Rial.
Another purpose Of my visit is TO further
the development Of commercial relations
between the archipelago and the United
States.
The American people should understand
clearly that peace is completely restored.
All that remains are a few robber bands,
which easily can be disposed OF by the ma
tive constabulary, and they probably will
be dispersed or exterminated within six
months.
I'm regard to the reports OF atrocities
committed by American soldiers in the
islands, there have been some abuses, but
the authorities have seen that the perpe-
traitors have received the punishment they
deserved. 1t is not fair to condemn the
whole army for the abuses Of a few sol.
diers.'

FROM CLEVELAND TO WILSON
Letter Written by Former TO the
Latter I'm n m of
Depression.

LEXINGTON. Va, June ls.-At the
graduating exercises OF Washington and Lee
university Hon. Isador Strauss of New
York delivered the address at the unvell-
ing OF a monument to Hon. william L.
Wilson, late president OF the university,
and, in discussing Mr.. Wilson's work in
regard to the Wilson tariff, read a letter
sent by President Cleveland TO Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Strauss said the letter had never
been made public. It is as follows:
EXECUTIVE MANSION. WASHING
TON. ID. G, August 10, ls9I.-My Dear Mr..
pressed and disappointed may write a word
Of sympathy to another IN like situation.
We both hoped and wrought for Accter
things; but now that we know our f9te.
shall not let a moment pass before ac-
knowledge the great and unselhsh work
you have done in attempting TO bring about
an honest and useful result.
Much, has been developed which has
shocked and surprised you and me. and I
have within the last hour found myself
questioning whether or not our party is a
tariff reform party. This, however, Is crly
temporary and such feeling is quickly fni-
lowed by my old trust in democratic doe
trines and the party which processes them.
But i intend only to express my SYM
patty with you and for the fight you have
made for genuine tarh reform.
l hope now tha you will be mindful
OF yourself and that you will try and
repair a strained mental and physical con,
dillon by immediate care and rest. Yours
GROVER CLEVELAND.
Hon. William l. Wilson.

NO PLACE FOR DARK HORSES
Continued from First Page.)

Omaha members we're so thoroughly antag-
onlstlc to him because Of some decision he
is said to have rendered In the nature Of a
strike injunction that It was thought best
to hold the vote solid until II could be made
decisive. Dinsmore was the ~favorite candi-
date for several reasons, chief among them
that he had many personal acquaintance
and friends among the delegation and
promised, it was thought, to run strongest
in Douglas county. Then, too, the Van
Dusen element of the delegation were in
clined to Dinsmore and we're willing to join
in making 1t a solid vote for him. There
were a number Of Mickey admirers among
the Douglas delegates, but rather than d.
vide the delegation they acquiesced in the
unit rule idea. knowing that II it came to
the point where they could make Mickey
they could then carry the. entire delegation
along with them. This, in fact, is what
happened.
Another point that called forth ommen
was the seating OF the delegates in the
auditorium hall. To quote the words of a
we'll known leader, I'VE came down here
as guests of the city Of Lincoln. only to
find that the best part Of the hall and most
of the front seats are occupied by them.
Lancaster county men are always directly
in front Of the chairman; they catch his
eye for recognition on every occasion; they
make nearly all the motions and act as II
1t was a Lancaster county convention so far
as they are concerned. l should think 1t
would be the part OF the host to take a back
seat once in a while, and let their visitors
enjoy a few Of the privileges"
