VOL. LXVIIL CAPITOL NEWS THE PRESIDENT WILL GO TO GRAY GABLES. The Presidential Boom of Hon, William C., Whitney Was Received With Open Arms in Washington. The Presidential boom of Hon. Wm. (. Whitney, who as President Cleve- land’s first Secretary of the Navy be came one of the most popular Demo- crats ever in office, was received with open arms in Washington, as it doubt- less will be all over the country, if Mr. Whitney can only be prevailed upon to allow the use of his name as a Dem- ocratic candidate. There would be no doubt of his having the cordial sup- port of President Cleveland and every of the administration. A member of the cabinet is quoted as having said: ‘‘Whitney is the popular man in the party today. has kept his hands oft of all fig} and is highly thought of by both the reform and the machine politicians. The prospect is good for the rehabili- tation of the party in the general con- fidence of the people. It depends en- tirely on the revival of business. The indications now are that this revival will be thorough, and that spring the commereial life of the coun- member most He its, by next try will be as vigorous as it was before the panic. In that event, I have no doubt that Mr. Whitney will permit the use of his name, and I am able to stake my political reputation on the truth of the statement that upon giv- ing that permission he will receive the joint support of not only the adminis- tration and Tammany Hall, but of Da- vid B. Hill, Fairchild, Grace, and the elements of the party represented by those gentlemen. President Cleveland is getting ready Cleveland and the children to Gray Gables, the weather be propitious they will proba- bly get away this week. There are special reasons why the President will desire to be near Mrs. i some weeks to come, and the affairs of to accompany Mrs. and if Cleveland for such a condi- tion that his absence from Washing- ton will not be detrimental to public The executive office will simply be removed to Gray Gables f a time, the government are in business, es for any part in these ante-campaign Re- publican maneuverings, but most of them are heartily in favor of Harri- son's nomination, because they know it would be followed by a lukewarm- part of the Republican leaders which would add very largely to the chances of Democratic victory. ness on the Ye Plingsten—-Went Fishing, There is one holiday which is ob- served as a day of pleasure in most of German communities, and that Day —Pfingsten—which oc- curred on Thursday of last week. On it the young and old of Teutonic ex- traction, seek pleasure and amusement in balls, excursions, pie-nies, and such like; in is Ascension the eastern counties of our | state, Lancaster, Berks and Lehigh, | Phngsten is a gala day ; the young la- dies appear in their and their young gallants in their nobbiest, and the old folks lay aside dull care, and all are on pleasure bent. Of course there is a great quantity of beer spilled but riotous conduct best is not common in In Germany the day is generally observed. In the central counties of our state the Pennsylvania German element is more intermixed with other national- ties and Pfingsten is not so generally t L these festivities, observed ; many take i and visit friends. as a day off of the males fix upon it as their one day of the year to go fishing.

Three Indians in Huntingdon Ceo. in 1763. The following incident, from an old history of frontier life, is worthy a re print at this day : Mr. Porter, residing in Binking wval- ley, having gone to mill, and left Mrs. Porter alone, while situation she espied an Indian coming towards Mr. Porter being a militia captain, had a sword and rifle in the house, his wife with great intrepidity in this the house, The announcement that ex-Repre-| Isador Raynor had for the with-| drawn from the contest Mary- | land Democratic gubernatorial nomi- | nation surprised no one in Washing-| ton, and the | heard was an occasional “I sentative comment told Mr. Rayner made the mistake of | about only you 80," supposing that abuse of Senator Gor- man would commend him to the Dem- who knew indebted to the friendship of Senator ocratic voters, that he was | Gorman for all the party favors he had received. Senator Gorman his faults, just as everybody else has, but the Maryland Democrats have found him a good leader, and until he proves | otherwise it is probable that will continue to lead them. “One of the cheekiest done in polities,” said a New Yorker who always knows what is going in his state, “was the attempt of Mr. Benjamin Harrison to make Gov, Mor- | ton the tail of his personally managed boom for a third nomination for the Presidency. He must have known when he went to New York with this scheme in his mind that Levi P. Mor- ton was fully aware of the treachery by which Whitelaw Reid's name was put on the Harrison ticket of '92, and of the part played in that treachery by Benjamin Harrison. I do not agree with Gov. Morton politically but 1 have a higher personal regard for him than ever, now that he had the nerve to scornfully decline the proposition to make a combination with Mr. Har- rison. While I would not vote for gither, there is no question in my mind that Gov. Morton would make a much stronger Presidential eandidate than Mr. Harrison would, and that is one of the reasons I do not wish to see Morton put at the head of the Repub- lean ticket. There is a rumor here, which finds credence among well-informed Repub- licans, that Mr. Harrison, having failed in his attempt to make a deal with Gov. Morton, will this week, when Gov. McKinley will be in New York, endeavor to get the consent of that gentleman to takesecond place on the Harrison ticket. This scheme has greatly provoked some of Gov, MeKin- ley's friends, and they say that Mr. Harrison's overtures will not only be refused but he will be informed that Gov. MzKinley will next to trying to get the nomination for himself exert all the influence he can command to prevent the nomination of the ex- President. Tom Reed's friends have become alarmed at the growth of the Harrison movement, and it looks now as though they would very soon be found fighting under a banner inscrib- ed ‘Anybody to beat Harrison.” has he t things ever on and having set the took the sword, until the lit his head with the sword, and the fax attempt Indian entered, when she] : another fate ; the of his compan- to enter.

He is an old sufferer from inflamma- tory rheumatism, but has not hereto- fore been troubled in this climate. Last winter he went up into Wiscon- sin, and in consequence has had anoth- er attack. “It came upon me again very acute and severe,” he said, “My joints swelled and became inflamed; sore to touch or almost to look at. Upon the urgent request of my moth- er-in-law I tried Chamberlain's Pain Balm to reduce the swelling and ease the pain, and to my agreeable surprise, it did both, I have used three fifty-cent bottles and be lieve it to be the finest thing for rheu- matism, pains and swellings extant.
