Organization Contest Count.
Position shifting among the organ

count Saturday is pronounced. The
Rams, carried along by the excellent
work or Fern and Desha, are back in
the lead. with n majority that looks
safe today, but one as apt to be over
come as was their former lead.
The Royal S chool Alumni, which
gained particular attention by taking
the lead after being far down the list
at the count week ago, was forced
to position away down about firth
place. But look out for them! Three
hundred thousand votes Is not an UNI
assailable total. AZ the Royal School
boys well know.
The Hllo Elks take slide down,
too, and that following their whirlwind
entry of only n week ago But they
will bear watching in future counts.
They have the Hilo reserve habit of
not showing all their cards until after
the deal, and they may have reserve
block that will make even the joyous
leading Kams pay attention.
st. Louis, long on the athletic field
the doughty and friendly opponents of
the Kams, are still in the contest piano

hundred thousand Is mighty evidence

NOTABLE VOTE GAINS SINCE
MAY II.

EXcelling the most sanguine expecta-
tions of anyone connected with the
Bulletin contest department was
the demand for votes and subscrip-
tons during the few days preceding
Saturday. Long subscription list after
list came into the office. When II came
time to count Saturday there were
constant inquiries, both personal and
over the telephone. as to the various
standings of the different candidates.
Some Thought End.
SO much had the candidates talked
of the advantage of getting In orders

crs thought that date was to mark the
end of the contest.
Three Hours Counting.
The count of the ballots was post
poned from Saturday afternoon until

Sherman and Sheridan Both Declared
They Would Not Accept the Nom
lnation, Not Being Fitted for
the High Office.

General Sheridan and General 'Sher-
man were of the same opinion respect
ing the expediency of electing to the
presidency a man who had made his
career in, the army. Sherman ex-
pressed his opposition forcibly and
publicly. In the latter part of Presi-
dent Arthur's administration there was
the nomination Of General Sherman
for the presidency in 1884. AT first
Sherman paid little heed to it, but
when his brother John assured him
that the movement was gaining head.
he wrote the now historic letter in
which he intimated that even if elect
ed he would not accept the Office of
president.
Sherman never concealed his opin-
ion tAat Grant, for whom he bore
the most devoted friendship and af-
lection. would have acted with greater
wisdom had he declined to permit any
organization to be effected for his
nomination for the presidency. In
Sherman's view, to be general of the
army was for a military nan a great

the United States:
Some of Sheridan's friends said to
him after it was known that Sherman
had put his DOT upon any movement
having his nomination for the presi-
dnecy in view: General, they are be-
ginning to talk some Of you as a pres
ilential candidate.
Sheridan laughed and made no 9th
err comment than. "Oh. l guess not"
But they are, general" his friends
insisted.
Who is?"
Well, some Republicans up in New
York state They say that if you are
nominated for president o will
sweep the country. and get as big a
majority as Grant did in 1868"
We'll. they had better look out
Sheridan replied. Il know what I an
fit for. l don't want the presidency
and wouldn't take it."
Nevertheless, in spite Of Sheridan's
statement, there was begun an organ
ization which had his nomination fol
the presidency in view. The Repub
lican leaders wanted some man Of
universal popularity, for it was known
that there was grave danger of fac
tional disturbance in case either Gen
eral Arthur or James G. Blaine were
nominated.
A curious and unexpected incident
however, put an end to the Sheridan
movement. A little conference of hi:
friends took place in New York city
In the midst of it one Republican, wht
was a most enthusiastic Sheridan ad
mirer, said:

WHERE THEY DRAW THE LINE
Naturally Men Disapprove of Extrava-
gance When Their Own Purse
Is Concerned.

Mrs. William B. Leeds, who too
Mrs. George Keppel's house in Lon
don for the coronation season, came
from New York with 40 huge trunks,
all the same size, all mounted with
shining brass, all claret-colored, and
ali as lustrous as the body of a motor
car.
Mrs. Leeds, as her 40 trunks imply,
dresses very beautifully. She spends
a large mount on her wardrobe, and
discussing the fact that woman's
dress is so much more expensive and
so much less durable than mems, she
nee said:
We women dress foolishly, and we
will continue to do SO till men disap-
prove; but'-she smiled on the meh

gance in a woman unless she hap

They Put Aside Presidency

when an infant only two weeks old.
Sheridan himself has always claimed
Albany for his birthplace. but there
doesn't seem to be any authentic rec
ord showing that he was actually
born there.
His parents anne from Ireland in
1881 by emigrantvship. They went to
Albany, where they had friends. They
had with them an infant, and that in
FAINT was Phil Sheridan. Just as sure
as the attempt is made to nominate
him for the presidency, just as GER
-tainly the claim will be made that he
is ineligible because he is not native
born. He would be elected hands
down. If he were nominated, but the
chances are that the convention would
not nominate a candidate for the
presidency about whose constitutional
eligibility there is the slightest doubt"
They nominated Arthur for vice
president, although it was said of him
that he was born in Canada. just over
the Vermont line,' a member OF the
conference declared.
Yes, but it took a search of the rec
ords and an actual measurement from
the parsonage in which Arthur was
born to. the international boundary
line to demonstrate that he had miss
ed i~neligibility by only a little over a
mile. But you can't find any record
Of the emigrant ship upon which Sher-
idan's parents came to America, al
though you might get some record
that would identify him. No. it won't
do to make him a candidate"
When Sheridan was Informed of this
discussion. he simply said:

He Considered Him, as a Fighting
Commander, an Extraordinary
Combination of Great OAR
ing and Caution.

John Russell Young, the distin-
guished Civil wal and Franco-Russian
war correspondent and newspaper edi-
tor, who accompanied General Grant
in his tour of the world, was chatting
with some friends at his hotel in
Washington shortly after President
Mckinley, in 1897, had made him libra
rian of the new Congressional library.
when some reference was made by
one of the party to General Grant, and
especially tt Grants very high regard
for General Sheridan, both as a soldier

that he was sure that Sheridan had no

mander Of an army.
Il remember. on one occasion, Grant
met several Americans one evening
after a reception, and in the course of
conversation he was asked what he
thought Sheridan would have done
had he been in command at Gettys-
burg instead Of General Meade. Gen
eral Grant replied practically in these
words:
"'There should be very little or no
criticism of the manner in which
Meade fought the battle OF Gettysburg.
In a three days battle there are al
ways sure to be some mistakes. What.
ever these may have been upon our
side, Meade speedily rectified them.

side or the other, although the advan-
tage may have been slight. Now, his
temperament, his understanding of
warfare and his methods would. l be-
lieve, have persuaded Sheridan, had
he been in command at Gettysburg,
that there was only one thing to do
after Lee began to retreat. and that
was to follow Lee so swiftly that he
would be unable to reform his lines.
l have sometimes thought that if Sher-
idan had been there there wouldn't
have been much of Lees army left
after Gettysburg was fought. How
ever, I do not say this in the way of

of those present suggested to General
Grant that Meade's army was prob

the army in pursuit OF Lee.

me wretchedly miserable myself and

sufferings.
