Presidential Possitilitics Thcir Theme. Harrison anti Hill Are the Favored Names. All Republican Eyes on the President But Western Democrats Look Askance at New York. 4 Waspnetrrae. D.

Feb. 15.An unusual number of prominent politicians are in the city at present, and they have been expressing their views on the presidential possibilities of the season. B. F. Jones of Pittsburg.

chairman of the Republican national committee in 1e84. said: "I do not hesitate to say that i think Mr. Harrison will be nominated and that the outlook for his election is a bright one and daily grows brighter. As to the Democratic nomination I can only make a guess. I think it will be Cleveland.

The chief issues in the campaign will be vrotection and sound money. so far as the Republicans are concerned. and the Democrats will oppose both of them. Hon. Poindexter Dunn.

for 10 years a representative from the first Arkansas district. but who has spent the last three years in Los Angeles. speaking of politics on the Pacific coast. said: The local sentiment out there is strongLv In favor of Mr. Cleveland.

He bas the confidence of the masses, and if the question comes to the will of the people, I have no doubt about him being the nominee. The question of availability. however, will have to be taken into consideration. and. considering the warring factions In New York.

I am inclined to think some Western man will be nominated." Turning to the other side Mr. Dunn said: "Mr. Blame's withdrawal is certainly a great disappointment to the Republicans throughout the country. He is stronger with the masses today than at any time during his life" Hon. J.

K. Luttrell. from 1372 until 1879 a Democratic congressman from California. said, "California can be carried against Harrison. but Blaine would have carried the State by.

I think. 20.00o majority. "There is a division of sentiment between Cleveland and Hill. However. a Western man would suit us better than any one of the four.

Morrison or Palmer of Illinois. Boles of Iowa or Gray of Indiana. "Alger is a very popular Republican on the coast. "I have heard just such political sentiment all the way along the linein Nevada. Nebraska and Iowa." Ex-Congressman J.

H. Sweeneyof Iowa said: "Iowa has always been very strongly attached to Mr. Blaine. "Now that he is not a candidate. recognizing as they do that Mr.

Harrison has given the country an admirable administrations It seems not improbable that be may receive the support of the State the next convention. "Gov. Boles will. in my opinion. receive the support of the Iowa delegation in the next national Democratic convention." Ex-Congressman Casey Young of Memphis thinks the opposition to Hill will not amount to a row of pins.

"Why." he said, "Mr. Hill is the absolute boss of the situation in New York- He is the only real leader the Democratic party has had for a quarter of a century. .1 have always been an ardent Cleveland supporter. but Mr. Cleveland, with all his rugged backbone.

does not approach Mr. Hill as a leader of his party." On the other hand. Mr. L. W.

Magruder of Vicksburg says: "Senator Hill cannot win the presidential nomination. The sentiment against lam In New York is growing bitterer every day. "His Elmira speech ha4 weakened him. "The situation seems to be that Hill has slain Cleveland and has committed suicide by over-reaching himself. The nomination will go West.

"Mississippi's delegation will go uninstructed. and make a choice after they get to Chicago. A prominent Missouri politician is Col. RI Denham. He says: "Missouri will send Cleveland a solid delegation to Chicago.

It does not like his silver views. but it does like his notions on tariff. If Missouri cannot have Cleveland. it will want a man from the West. Missouri 14 getting tired of being run by New York.

So is the entire West." "Hon. B. J. Lowe of Birmingham. Ala-.

says Alabama will send a solid delegation to Chicago for Senator Hill, and that while it will be a red-hot fight between Hill ad Harrison he believes that Hill will win in November.

"The great difficulty is in teaching them English. but several of the soldiers understand the sign language, and so can get along very well. "You cannot imagine how Proud those Indians are of their position. and how they vie with each other in keeping their um-forms and arms in good condition. "No.

the men are not jealous of them. and often engage them in friendly wrestling bolds and races." The captain tells a tale 9f a wonderful hot sp.ri "We call it." he said.

"I have often seen the soldiers take a swim in the storing and follow it up with a roll in the snow. It almost makes a Turkish bath." WILL OP RICHARD D. ROGERS. House of the Good Samaritan receives $10,000 and Family Has the Rest. SALEM.

In the course of his address he said that he had nothing to retract. and that if anything he spoke too leniently on the question at that time. "Men who sell rum in barrooms or druggists who peddle it out in back shops have no self-respect," he said. He called upon all to unite in putting down the curse of rum, and to vote against all forms of liquor license. Rev.

William Hyde made an attack on the press. saying that the statements in the Ravers two weeks ago regarding Rev. Mr. Smith's crusade on the druggists were false. and that the tem.

Feb: 15.The Globe this morning prints the following despatch from New Orleans: At last the true secret of the withdrawal of the Louisiana State lottery from the fierce political struggle which has been raging for many months is out. Half a dozen friends of John A. Morris, the principal owner and director of the company, have been aware of the coming change, but the secret has been carefully guarded. Al Though he has not yet made an announeement.

a stockholder of the company has said that the Louisiana State lottery will be removed to Mexico in 1893. President Diaz has already expressed himself as favorable to the proposition. provided the Louisiana State lottery will make as favorable a proposition to the Mexican government as was made to the State of Louisiana. While the directors of the company have not as yet held any meeting to consider the proposition made by Different Cities in Other Countries, It is understood that Mr. Morris favors the City of Mexico.

and that practically settles the entire matter. The fact that John A. Morris had entered into a tacit understanding with the Mexican government 'undoubtedly influenced the withdrawal of the offer of $1.250,000 to the State of Louisiana. He would undoubtedly have stood by the offer if the red-hot political contest had not been precipitated. Morris and his associates have made heavy investments in real estate In the city of Mexico recently.

and it is understood that they have already discussed the project of purchasing from the Mexican government, the fortress of Chapaltepec, which it was rumored several years ago Jay Gould bad bought from the Mexican government for $5,000.000. as the future headquarters of the new Mexican lottery, the successor of the old Louisiana State Lottery. The new company will be International in Its Scope. The drawings will be far larger in the aggregate than the drawings of the Louisiana State Lottery. There will be Mexican drawings for the Mexicans.

American drawings for the people of the United States, English draw. ings for the people of England and Spanish drawings for the people of Spain. The American business will be conducted under the popalar name of the Louisiana State Lottery. To reach the people in the large cities of the United States agents will be employed as at present. The money will be carried from patrons by the express companies and to the winners of prizes by the express companies.

And all of the express companies of the United States will be subsidized and assisted to extend their lines into Mexico. Top first column, editorialpage. Every day. OFFICIALS DIDN'T MATERIALIZE. Members of Defunct Order of Armual Friend Waited in Vain.

There was plenty of fun in Knights of Pythias IHtll at 249 Tremont et. this fore noon. The occasion was a meeting of certificate holders in the defunct Order of the Annual Friend. Some time ago several injunctions were issued against the officers of the order. restraining them from doing further business, and since then the supreme officers as well as the members of the order have figured COUSTACUOUSIY in court.

At a recent meeting, it was voted to ask the executive committee of the order to make some kind of a rendering of dm account. Today was the time set for listening to this report. The hour for the meeting. "9.30 sharp," arrived. and with it a goodly number of disappointed certificate holders.

those of the gentler sex being in the majority. There were nearly a hundred present, but the and much-sought-after officers of the executive committee failed to put in an appearance. For nearly two hours the despondent and deluded members waited, and at last, when It was apparent that the supreme officers were not to grace the occasion with their presence, an iniormal adjournment was had. DISSATISFIED HEIRS. The Will of the Late Jonathan Mann to be Contested.

end. after 40 long years of waiting. during which time tome ha often sprung up, only to be disappointed again andaSetr, lin. the citizens of North Attleboro andNi'rentharo end themeelves in close communication with Boston. The original survey of the old Boston St Providence road contemplated a route almost identical with the one taken by this new road.

But In thotie days the railroad men believed that a road must be comparatively straight. and tnis wax the chief reason for riving up a route which in the light of events it can be seen would have been by far the best. opening up a much more thickly settled temtory and shortening the distance to Providence by about two Miles. The reasons which led up to the construes tion of this road which goes Into operation today are intereating For years the people of North Attleboro had been desirous of better railroad and at last a corporation was formed, with T. J.

Smith at ite head. known as the North Attleboro Wrentham Railroad Company. This company proposed to construct a road from Martindale. through North Attleboro and tVrentliatn. to South Walpole.

intersecting the New York New England at either point. A petition to the railroad commissioner; was met with a counter petition by the Old Colony. asking for a right of way covering practically the same territory. The latter petition was accepted. and after several hearings a right of way was granted by the several towns, and work was at once begun.

The first work: to be done was the building of the) 13 mile. of road trom North Attleboro to Vaipole junction. Thtrteen bridges were built, two of which were granite arch brultres, over and elsewhere the road runs over or under highways. there being no grade crossings. Heavy granite abutments support iron trusses.

making the bridges substantial enough to last a century. The bed of tite road has but a single track. but it is wide enough for two if it is ever necessary to lay another. New passenges stations have been erected at North Attleboro. Plainville, Wrentham.

Pondville, alpole Junction and East Walpole. With three exceptions -these are of brick. of handsome design and convepiently arranged for patrons and employes. As soon as the road was practically finished to Walpole Junction, the Old Colony were importuned to continue the road on to Boston. and at a meeting of the stockholders it was voted to do so.

A year ago last summer the work of laying the track from WalpoleJunction toward Dedhatn WAS begun. and then it seems the officersof the road began laying plans that contemnlated the leasingof certain tracks of the New York New England. What is known as the old Norfolk county road or at least about two miles of this track came into possession or the Old Colonv by lease about four months ago. This road had long been abandoned and the people living in that vicinity are much pleased to have the trains again running over it. About a year ago a train began making regular trips from Mansfield to Wrentham but this has now been discontinued.

Arrangements had been made for a sort of jubilee excunoon this morning. and the first regular train to Boston was filled with buaimess men from the several towns and stations which. for the first time, were to receive railroad accommodations. The first through train was in charge of Conductor J. E.

Reed. and consisted of locomotive 218. combination smoker 80 and passenger coaches 404 and 406. Engiueer G. T.

Frank W. Bird got aboard the train. and was soon surrounded by a host of friends. Bird, together with Dr. Hawes and David Brown of Wrentham have fur more than 40 years used their utmobt endeavors to get title road put through.

and these three were the happiest men on the heavily loaded train which steamed into the Park sq. station exactly on time. The most important part of the new line lies on the Beaton side of tValpole Junction. as it opens up for business practically a new country. and supplies manufacturing establishments at East Walpole with freight facilities they could not have otherwise Dos: sesmed.

Through Walpole Centre and in East Walpole the new road runs in close proximity to the Bird and Hollinsworth paper mills. and runs with easy grades towards Norwood, through the yard of the George H. Morrill ink works. Just previous to this the road takes a rattier heavy up grade. in order to escape a grade crossing on the highway.

For half a mile there is a deco embank. meat constructed that is a prodigious piece of work. costing more probably than any Proportionate distance of any other road in New England. That East Walpole people intend to patronize the new road was evidenced this morning by the way they helped to fill up the three cars. A connection is made with the double track main line of the New York New England, at a Point on that road east of Norwood Central, where a new station.

called Norwood Junction. is established. Interlocking switches counect the lines. At Islington Junction the N. Y.

N. 11 road is lett. and the train proceeds the remaining three miles to Dedham over the old Norfolk County railroad. owned by the ew York New England railroad. The Old Colony has relaid tracks on the old roadbed.

which it leases for 99 years from the New England. Dedham is the terminus of the line. as trains proceed to Boston over the West Box-bury branch. The new line has very few curves. So straight is it that if continued on from North Attleboro it would make the most direct route from Boston to Providence.
