CONPIRMATIONS BY THE SENATE. ‘The Senate yesterday confirmed a long list of SHEBIDAN’S CANDIDACY. The Lieutenant-Gencral’s Boom and the Nativity Question. Since the publication of the Blaine letter declin- tng to enter the Presidential race, the general interest centered in his name has been scattered among @ number of less-known candidates. In this connection Gen. Sheridan's name is mentioned a8 among the likely ones, amd the question as to nativity bearig upon his eligibility is just now attracting considerable public attention. It 1s said that there is a good deal more in his prospect- ive candidacy than appears on the surface, and that the more quict President makers who are interested in it are biding their time, with a view of giving him a big send-off, provably, when Lis memorrs are issued, which will be in the comin; Spring. The exacc dacc of the issue will de entirely upon his publishers, for it is KnoWD Uuat the matter is all tn type. WHERE HE WAS BORX. Gen, Sheridan says he was born in Albany, March 6, 1831g the records in the War De- partment credit him to Olio; ue West Point and one month of aie, white Mrs, ‘Sheridan, the mother of the general, Says he was born at Somerset, Ohio, ‘March 6, 1831. THE INDIGNANT COLONEL. When a Stax reporter was awaiting Gen. Sherl- dan’s return from lunch yesterday afternoon at Army headquarters, Col. M. V. Sheridan, the gen- eral’s brother, arrived, Th! that he might giean a little {aformation as to the date and place Of the birth of the feutenant-general, the reporter asked the colonel about the matter at Issue with ‘the most unexpected resulta ‘The colonel showed explosive wrath, ‘The match which had just been struck to Itzht a cigar was dashed into the cuspl- dor, and a flood df indignant protests burst forth. “L want It distinctiy understood that Iam not to ‘be hounded by a pack of newspaper reporters, who give me no peace at the theater, in my bed or at iy Office, “2nd, too, about a ‘personal matter that they have ‘no business to inquire about, I’ will not be interviewed,” he exclaimed excitedly, ‘These remarks were accom- panied by vigorous puffs on the cigar, which hed ho ligut. When the reporter modestly suggested that Gea, Sheridan's nativity was a question that the public had a right to have solved, in view of his possible candidacy for tie Presidency, he only added fuel to the flame of indignation. "I don't know where he was born,” he exclaimed, “and I won't be questioned about it. If you want to thd out, ask him.” With this the colonel strode out of ‘tue'room, leaving the reporter In undisputed pos- Session of the handsomeiy furnished office. ‘o> THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE, Republican Candidates im the Senate. MEMBERS OF THAT DODY WHO ARE MENTIONED AS POSSIBLE CANDIDATES FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOM- INATION FOR TUE PRESIDENCY. ‘The recent letter of Mr. Blaine has had the effect, of somewhat confusing the republican leaders, ‘That 1s apparent from conversations with them. Kepublican Senators are very chary about express- ing opinions as to presidential candidates or mak- ing predictions as to the nomination, Some of this reticence may be attributable to the preva- lence of presidential aspirations in the Senate, According to the political gossip about the north- ern end of the Capitol there 18 no lack of republi- cam candidates in the Senate, Senator Sherman makes no concealment of his ambition to head the national ticket of hits party. Senator Hawley 13 understood to Occupy substantially the same at. ‘UUtude he held in 1884; that 1s, he 18 not a candi- date in the sense that he will labor to obtain the nomination, but if his party believes him to be the man for the occasion he is ready and willing to obey the call.
