Theory of Mr. Harrison’s SuppOrters—‘Vas Cupid at the BottOm of ms 11131114. clinntion to Run?-—-Morrison's Position, In Illinois. "‘ : WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.—-’-The gossips have' been spending a good deal of time eon- jecturing the effect err-President Harri- son’s marriage would have upon, his pros- pects for renomination. Some people thought that it would take him out of the race altogether. Others believed that it Would strengthen him_ with the people. It was recalled, however, by persons who have seen'a good deal' of .Mrs. Dimmick during the last few months that the bride . to be had expressed herself as very much- opposed to his renomiuation. . In the light of General Harrison‘ s let- ter, his friends in Washington (3) not doubt that his decision re gauding the presidency, which seems explicit enough, was prompted as much by the wishes of Mrs. Dimmick as by his own personal in- clination. Members of the Indiana delegation in congress, with the single exception of Mr. Johnson—and he has not been hostile to the ex- president—have been enthusiastic champions of General Harrison as the most available Republican to nominate this year. They have declined to express a second choice. While they have made it known to those who sought their views that nobody was warranted in declaring General Harrison’s candidacy, still they believed he would hearken to the wishes of his party, if called and accept .. renom- ination. With him as a possibility Indi- ana, they said, had no preference as to other candidates. .. Henderson‘s Opiniofi. Representative Henderson of Iowa when told of General Harrison’s letter, said: “I never expected anything else. The news comes as no surprise to me I have never believed that Mr. Harrison would enter into any scramble for the presiden- tial nomination, or that he would enter- tain a thought in thatdirection unless the nomination should come to him as the voluntary and unanimous expression of the convention. The announcement will have no unfavorable effect on Senator Al- ,lison’s candidacy. It does not "mean that Indiana will swing into line for McKinley, , not by any means, although I have no au- thority to speak for any one in Indiana.’ “Mr. Harrison says he will not be a can- didate, ” said Representative Overstreet of Indiana, “but Indiana will be for him just the same. We will keep up our or- ganizatioh, and the time may come in the St. Louis convention when Mr. Harrison will be nominated without his name being formally placed in nomination. We be.- lieve he is the best and strongest candi- date, and his friends in Indiana will re- . gret to see him thus announce himself. I do not, believe, however, that he has been eliminated as an important factor in the next Republican convention.” Congressman Hartman ' of Montana does not think the letter should be accept- ed as a declaration that Mr. Harrison will , not accept the nomination. “I believe Mr. Harrison is a candidate,” said he. "Should the ex—president say he would not accept the nomination Ishould believe him, for Mr. Harrison is a. plain, out- spoken man; but, as I understand it, he says simply that his name' will not go be- fore the ponvention, and that he is not and will not be a candidate. All that could be true and yet Mr. Harrison might be nomin ed.” . - .llIorrison and Free Silver. CHICAGO, Feb. 5. —‘-—A local paper today prints the following. Plans for the Democratic campaign in Illinois have been twisted out of shape and beyond recognition by William R. Morri- son. Through hislieutenants, William S.» Forman and William B. Brinton, Colonel Morrison scnt word to the DemOcratie state executive committee that the free sil- ver idea must- be repudiated before they could use his, name with authority as the Democratic organization’s presidential candidate. More than this, he insisted that the national delegates from Illinois must be sound money Democrats. If the state organization, of which Gov- ernor Altgeld is the head, attempts to send silver men to the national conventiOn, Colonel Morrison serves notice that he will come in person to lead the fight against the silver advocates. The members ~of the Democratic state executive committee were dumb when they were taken aside one by one by For- man or Brinton and told of Mr. Morri- _ son’s instructions. Mr. Forman was in communication with Mr. Morrison. When the committee met, every member was informed of ColOnel Morrison’s views. They were not mentioned in the meeting, although the committee took occasion to give the presidential candidate a slap by , repudiating the action of his chief sup- porter, B. T. Cable. The Present Tangle. All the members of the committee were present at the meeting, while the hotel was well filled with prominent Democrats from all over the state. Chairman Hin- z-ichseu had not been informed of Colonel Morrison’s stand before he called the 11. eating to order. He and his silver col- , leagues on the committee had accepted ( olonel Morrison as a presidential candi- date, piesuming he would not question the financial views of the natiOn'al dele- gates or the plank in the state platform so long as he had the support of the Illinois 1:1_lc:ation._ The threat, which accompanied 1:111:13 coughs and Bronchitis «Cured by Taking R's Cherry Pectoral Awarded 11111111111811 LETTER” Medal and Diploma ’ 'At World’s Fair.

They were not given time to make plans, so the committee attempted no big politics, but confined itself to drudgery. One of Mr. Morrison’s friends said after the meeting that the candidate intended to make good every word his lieutenants had told the members of the committee. Mr. Morrison will be in Illinois with the interstate commerce commission about Feb. 22. If possible, he will come sooner and immediately go to Springfield, call on Govc. 'nor Altgeld and Chairman Hinrich- sen and endeavor to get an inkling from them what they intend the Illinois dele- gates shall do in the national convention. He will iemind them that last year, when they were agitating the free silver movemeni, he kept silent at their request and raised no protest when the silver state convention adopted an out and out 16 to 1 platform. If they refuse to make any premises fav crablo to sound money, Colo- nel Morrison told his friends that he would make Democratic politics interesting for the next few months. Morton’s Si gnificant Action. WASIIIXGTON, Feb. 5.—Some light may be thrown on the question, “How strong are Governor Morton’s hopes for the presi- dency?” by the announcement today that he has withdrawn his handsome house from the market. For nearly three years it has been for sale or rent. But it is so no longer. The withdrawal is takc11,too, as mean- ing that, in the event of his election, he will reside at his own house, which is palatial in size and furnishings, and transact the public business at the White House. Additional interest is attached to the announcement by its coming imme- diately after General Harrison’s letter de- clining with thanks to permit the presen- tation of his name to the St. Louis con vention.

The other day, says the Buffalo Express, the hotel housekeeper sent down to the proprietor of the shop and asked him to fix her 11p a. bottle‘of shampoo. .He fixed it and told Joe to take‘ it up to the house- “keeper. “You tell her,” said the barber, “to take half a teacup of the shampoo and .put it in two teacups Of water and apply” Joe took the shampoo and went up to the housekeeper with it. In a. short and the barber “Give it to her all right?” “Yes,” said Joe. . "With the directions?” ',‘Yes ” said J on again. Half an hour later the barber noticed the houseeper out in the hall, looking curiously into the shop. He walked out to where she Was. . “Hello,” she said. ' “Which is it? Are you drunk or crazy?” '_ “What do you mean?” asked the barber, with much dignity. “You must be one or the other, ..judg- ipg from the message you sentup with that shampoo.” ' ‘ What message did I send?” “Joe told me you said to tell me to i make a cup of tea. and put it' 1n the bot- (tle and lie about it!” This is what Salva-cea is'doing.
