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.

and is highly thought of by both the

The prospect is good for the rehabili-
tation of the party in the general con-

tirely on the revival of business. The
indications now are that this revival
will be thorough, and that

by next
try will be as vigorous as it was before

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.

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.”

of 1235 Harrison street, Kansas City.
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.

Electric Bitters,
Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen-
erally needed in the spring, when the
languid exhausted feeling prevails,
when the liver is torpid and sluggish
and the need of a tonic and alterative
is felt. A prompt use of this medi-
cine has often averted long and per.
haps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine
will act more sftely in counteracting
and freeing the system from the mala-
rial poison. Headache, Indigestion,
