the President, But Says Latter Did
Not Decide the Issue

not been vercommunicative regarding
things political of late, and when he
took several of the bigger Republican
politicians into his confidence in the
matter of Governor Hughes renomina-
tion IL required no great astuteness to
guess that he had been specially com
missioned for the purpose.
The President is willing to give a
chance TO Woodruff and the others a.
save their faces by letting il appear
that they had waited to learn the will
OF the voters on the question OF Cover
nor Hughes and lost no time in de
claring for a denomination when they
found the party sentiment running
that way.
For this reason. IL was said, the Z III
ctal announcement regarding the re-
nomination Of Hughes will be left to
state Chairman Woodruff instead of
being given out from oyster Bay.
AT the same time the President is
something more than anxious about
the state of party feeling in New
York, hence the mission OF COrtelyOu
70 throw out an advance tip that was
intended TO allay the discomfort in the
ranks OF the governors rather clamor-

the memory OF one Of the noblest crea-

life Of self sacrifice. and in the
cause Of her children ana her grand
children ana her great grandchildren
besides her friends, she was ever en-.
listed, Her first lessons Of abnega-
ton were learned during the civil
war, when she gave her husband and
her sons TO the cause of the south,
and in addition TO raising a large fam.
lily, devoted much of her time to the
troops, making wearing apparel and
furnishing little dalnties for them. She
was like n good evangel in the sick

of soothing the afflicted, she was
never happier than when administer

vout christian, truly good woman OF
whom it may be truly said, the world
is better because she lived in 1t. The
members of the family have the deep
sympathy of large circle Of friends
