Mr. Gorman can always be regarded as a possi- bility and while he would naturally be friendly to Judge Purker’s candi- dacy, ifthe Judge’s defeat meant a show for Gorman victory, Naturally he would cast some pebbles in the way. Mayor Jno. B. McClellan, of New York would make a very available candidate, which fact is recognizod all over the country. If the contin- gency should arise he would be strongly backed by Tammany and a candidate satiefactory to New York Edmund Bersh, ex-member of the house of delegates of St. Louis, plead- ed guilty Monday to the charge of boodling placed against him by Cir- cuit Attorney Folk.

Then there is the possibility that Cleveland’s name will be sprung as the one man who can carry the piv- otal states and thus insure Demo- cratic success. His name would be bitterly opposed by the west and the Bryan element in the party and the prospects that he will be the nomi- nee is very vague. Cabinet Changes.

Roosevelt’s Biography. Theodore Roosevelt, descended from Claes Van Roosevelt who mi- grated from Holland to America in 1649, is the son of Theodore Roose- velt, of New York city, and Martha Bulloch, of Rosewell, Ga. He was born in New York city on October 27, 1858; was graduated from Har- vard university in 1880; served in the Missouri will present the name of|New York assembly from 1882 to perhaps the best equipped man for 1884; was chairman of the New York delegates, of which two-thirds (667) will be necessary to nominate candi- dates. Speaker Cannon, chairman of the Republican national convention, left Chicago for bis home at Danville in a special cara sick man. He hada low fever convention week alternating with chills, and his physicians told him he would have tohave a com- plete rest. —_—_—_—_"— The reporters for the city papers d in a Democratic convention.

VARDAMAN WILLING TO ELIMINATE NEGRO VOTE. Mississippi Governor Declares for Decreased Representation and Fifteenth Amendment’s Repeat: Jackson, Miss. June 27 —Gov. Vardman, in the course of an inter- view, made the very important dec- laration that he was ready to ac- cept the proposition to repeal the tifteenth amendment, eliminate the negro from politics and, as a conces- sion, agree to have the South's rep- resentation cut down. Gov. Vurdaman was asked to-night what he thought of the negro suf- frage plank in the Republican plat- form. He said: “As long as the negro enjoys all the righis of an American citizen under tho amendment, the represen- tation in the South will not be dis- turbed. Should the fifteenth amend- mont be repsalel, however, and the Southern states, as they should do, eliminate the negro from politics absolutely, then I see no special harm or wrong in cutting down the South’s representatiou in Congress. “The truth is, I stand ready to ac- cept the proposition to repeal the fifteenth amendment, eliminate the negro from politics, and, as a com- pensation to the North for that con- cession to the South, I would most cheerfully surrender that part of our representation in Congress which is based upon the negro population. “With the negro forevereliminated from politics in the South, we can stand anything that the white peo. ple in any other section of the repub lic can stand. Since the negro bas been made such an important plank in the Republican platform, Isincere- ly hope that the Democrats may accept the challenge and come out squarely for a white man’s govern- ment. Ido not believe that an an- nouncement that could be made by the convention at St. Louis would GO quite so straight to the hearts of the whfte American voter as a clear- cut declaration against permitting negroes to participate in the govern- ment of the’ nation. The time is opportune for the Democratic party to speak out on this question,” The Last of the Range Steers. Muskogee, I.

After being assured that the negro was dead, the mob cut down the body and turned it over to relatives for burial, '’—————_. Denounces Negro Plank.
