What He Says of the Comin; idential Nominau BEAVER. Pree AINE A GENERAL FAVORITE, WITH SHERMAN AND ALLISON NEXT IN POPULARITY — CLEVELAND'S ‘TARIFF VIEWS CRITICISED. Goveryor Beaver, of Penasylvanta, being asked Saturday his opinion of the national political stt- uation, said that tue nomination of Blaine as the republican candidate for President seems assured, if the Pumed Knight decides to run again. He considers him a general favorite and, if a candi- date, he thinks all opposition to his nomination would disappe.r. The delegation from Pennsylva- aia, he was certain, would support Blaine. In the event of the latter gentleman's refusal to be the republican standard-bearer, Governor Beaver thought the choice of the party would fall on either Senator Sherman or Senator Allison. The governor did not believe Senator Cameron was & candidate for the position, “The last time I con- Versed with Seaator Cameron,” sald the governor, “ue expressed the belief that If Mr. Blaine was a candidate the Peansylvania delegation would be ~olidiy for him, and I never heard him refer to himself tn that connection.” Governor Beaver disciaimed being a candidate himself for the republican nomination, and re ed: “My duties as governor of Pennsyivania ly pleasant to ne a this capacity Thave an opportunity to mingle with the people, something which I enjoy much, As President i differently sivusted, confined strictly to itive duties and having the care of the United States, "No, Indeed, tam not a Presidential cane didate ue (question being put to the governor whether he thoucht the President's recent utterances on the tani would be beneficial to the republican tion, he sald; “1 think so, ‘The stand he has Ken regarding the tariff should be of material assistance In electing hi ‘opponent. Upon the oc- @asion of my visit to Virginia I tearned that the People were generally thorouchly protectionists, and I see no reason Why the electoral vote of the state should not be cast this ye: » who fa vors protection to American industries im the broadest sense of that teria. Cleveland's idea that the internal revenue should be retained seems: absurd.

We ail Why the tax on whisky 1s retained, 13 done for the beueflt of the whisky Tings waich profit greatly by it. I cannot see what the President means by ad Yocating the retention of war taxes. I also differ with his views concerning the duties on imports, He suggests a reduction of duties so as to de- crease the revenue and my idea would be to raise the tariff I think the position of the tariff should be such a to prevent the creation of a monopo! in this country and yet to keep the foreign ind. tries from adversely affecting the interests of our home manufacturers; that it should be at such @ standard as to afford’protection for American in- dusiries, “If these Industries sought to create monopolies, then the tari sould not be So high as to prevent Che Importation of foreign material. Considering all things, I think a republican Presi- dent wilt be elected this fall. If I were a delegate to the national convention think I would do ail I could to nominate a candidate Who Was a favor- ite in debatable states. We all know that the re- publican nominee would have no trouble in carry- ing Pennsylvania, and that ts one of the reasons why a candidate from this State ts not to a great extent preferred, Had the democrats renominated & man outside of New York there would not have been a democratic President to-day. I think the Fepublicans should take this into consideration in selecting a candidate.” i 06. 2 em. Sherman's Good Resolution. WILL DINE OUT ONLY THREE TIMES A WEEK DUEING THE CURRENT ‘The New York Sun says: Gen. Win. T. Sherman occupies two bedrooms and a parlor adjoining on the second floor of the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Only one of the bedrooms 1s reserved for his own use. ‘The other is occupied by one of his daughters, Miss Rachel or Miss Lizzie, Mrs. Sherman 1s not in good health just now, and she finds that the at- mosphere of Morristown, N.J., 13 more agreeable to her than New York and spends most of her time | there. The daughters divide thelr time between New York and Morristown, so as to be, in turn, with their father and mother. General ‘Sherman finds that constant dining out has affected even hisostrich-like digestion, and he begins the new Year with a good resolution, namely, that he will accept only” three dining-out engagements per Week. He has resolved to keep to this rule rellg- fously. He is very scrupulous in the point of re- turnitig calls, pazticularly those made by old com- Fades ib armas. While second Heutenants tn obscure foot ments spread their names, usually parted in the tuddie, all over a higaly glized card leaving Just space enourh tor their military ragk and the regi- ment to which they belong, Gea. Sherman uses the simplest possible visiting card. Jt 1s thus in- seribed: “William 7. Sherman, General” The superb diamond necklace that’ the Kheffive of Egypt presented to Gen. Sherman's married daugh- ter, Mrs Thackara, has’ not only sufficed to deco rate Mrs. Thackara Iie 4 countess, but has also furnished earrings and other articles of jewelry to her unmarried sisters. = nea La Editor Singerty on Mr. Cleve!

Mrs. Eliza Hendricks, widow of the late Vice- President Hendricks, who arrived in this city on Monday evening, left yesterday for Oroville, She arrived from her home in Indianapolis about three Weeks ago, and has been visiting friends in Oak- land and elsewhere, She is accompanied, as a traveling companion, by her friend Mrs, Patterson, ot Indiana, At Sacramento Mrs. Hendricks was Joined by her cousin, Secretary Hendricks, Her Teal object, in addition to attending the Citrus fair at Oroville, 1s to visit tue Hendricks placer mine, 434 miles above Oroville, on which the Vice-Presi- dent spent $100,000 in improvements, building, among Other things, a flume over 40 miles long. Just as he got this completed the anti-debris law passed tae California legislature and the mine had to be shut down. Mrs, Hendricks, however, it 13 Stated, has no idea of letting the property lapse. ‘There are 12,000 acres in the tract, and this has grown in recent years to be quite valuable. She now intends to make a thorough examination of It, and decide whether or not she will plant sdme of itin fruits.

AN ODD WILL OF A BRIDGEPORT MAN GIVES THEM A LITTLE LEGACY. ‘The death of Mrs. Aaron Summers,which occurred in North Bridgeport, Conn., a few days ago, leaves free an estate to be devoted to the purposes speci- fled by her late husband in his will, He expressly stipulated that nelther any of his own connections nor those of luis wife should ever receive a cent of the property. The most singular provision of the will Was'that upoa the death of Mrs, Summers his entire estate should be turned over to the select- men in trust, to be expended in giving ald to the Worthy deserving poor white American Prot. estant democratic widows and orphans of the town of Bridgeport. The heirs contested the will, the principal ground urged for setting aside the tustrument being that the carrying out of the pro- visions regarding democratic widows and orphans: was limpracticable. ‘The case finally went to the Supreme Court of the state, which sustained the validity of the witl, holding that no dimtculty should exist in carryiug out the terms of the dequest. Mr. Summers’ estate inventoried $12,549, Of which $5,049 Was 1% personal property, which was nearly all eaten up by tie Dills of the lawyers employed to defend the will. The balance will now be turned over to the selectmen and by them expended at their discretion for the benefit of the worthy widows and orphans of deceased Bridge- Port widows, This fund wil probably amount to about $4,000.

A little roll of metal red with fire was placed upon the anvil, a sledge-hammer fell twice upon {t, three tiny sparks shot into the air, and the moulds of the old year’s double eagle gold coins and all the happiness and miseey they Drought to people in whose hands they fell was wiped out for- ever. It was a thousandth part of a work that lasted all day at the mint yesterday the destroy- ing of the 1887 dies. This is novel form of de- struction that falis to the lot.of the money-mak- ing establishment's blacksmiths at the end of each calendar year, and it Is the only sure way of pre- venting the wily counterfelter from making spurious coin without regard to date. The dies of ‘the Mint are the stamps that imprint the coins all that fancy business that, when rubbed off by time, gives the street-car conductor a chance to insult the holder by refusing to accept it. For instance, it stamps on the dollar the of the beautiful lady encircled by stars, and makes a strong contrast on the other side by prt looking e arrows, unde! we Tras? edie is a little round chunk of steel about three inches long, lng off at the top, which makes 1t look like’a miniature milk- mah’s can without handles.

It Was 9 o'clock yesterday morning when Coiner Steel of tie Mint signed the death Warrant of the old year's dies. It meant the destruction of a thousand of 1887's money makers, Every statap, from double eagles to. dollars in gold, froin dollars Vo ten-ceat pieces In silver, the fives in nickel, and the pennies in copper, that bore the date of the Year that tried to give back the rebel flags and had a big constitutional centennial, were doomed. ‘The four brawny blacksmiths of the Mint were the executioners, their anvils the scaffold, their sl-dges the instruments of death, and Superla- tendent Fox, Assayer Ecktleld, and a Press repor— ter the jury. The place of execution was the gloomy shop In the basement, weirdly lit by hun- gry firelight. AU9:30 o'clock’ the dies were taken from their coils up Stairs und conveyed thither in Diack coffin-like pans. Colned gold jingled on all sides as tue procession passed.
