He had long been given for dead by his friends and relatives, and had evidently taken no pains to learn any news of them. After various wanderings he found himself located at his present home, and as the years crept upon him there came a desire to know the fate of his relatives, apparently ko long forgotten. He accordingly wrote to the Sheriff of Cook, county, asking for information regarding his brother. He received a reply that his brother was dead, but that a son survived him, of whom he gave tho address.

A correspondence sprang up about six months ago between this uncle and nephew who had never seen each other, and as a result the nephew determined to visit the uncle in his California home. arrived in Milton this week and the meeting, between the two can be imagined better than described.

TALK OF VICE-PRESIDENTS Republicans and Democrats for Second Place. IRE REPUBLICANS NAME HOT EXCELLENT IEN Democrats Will Strive for the Vice- President's Chair and Discuss Probable Candidates. 'It te not beyond reasonahle expectations that both of the nominees for the second place on the great, party tickets may be representatives of. the same New York.

The accredited Administration spokesman, Senator Hanna, has expressly favored, the claims New York in a recent declaration and Democratic calculation would naturally oppose a Kepublican nominee from New York with a rival whose nomination would directly contest the Republican hold on -this great "pivotal" Stale through its particular share in the ticket. It is known, however, that Admiral Schley is strongly favored for a place on the ticket by bis prominence in the late war and alleged persecution by Administration prejudice are counted, upon score heavily for the ticket in Maryland and in other States to a considerable extent. -Judge Augustus Van Wy.ck, who ran so close a race to Thead'ore Roosevelt for the Governorship of New York, is also seriously" considered, though his boom for the Presidential nomination was apparently still-born." Hon. John W. Keller, Commissioner of Charities in New York City, and President of the Democratic Club, is being strongly but quietly urged for the place.

He is a man known to be one of the most trusted associates of Richard Croker. He is a man of such undeniable ability and wide-ranging friendships that the active assertion of his candidacy would command very powerful backing. Oliver H. P. Belmont, who has lately taken so active a part in the national politics, is another prominent figure in the list of possible nominees.

Elliott Dan forth, chairman of the Democratic State Committee of New York, Congressman William Sulzer and Mayor Robert A. Van Wyck are other New Yorkers who have been included in the list of possible aspirants for the nomination. In New Hon. George Fred. the present Democratic leader in Massachusetts, would be strongly supported for the nomination, if be was disposed to enter the.

field of candidacy, and his known intimacy with Mr. Bryan would doubtless make such a' connection peculiarly welcome on the score of personal relations, but this consideration will hardly be ranged in the balance against the prepondent weight of political advantage in strengthening the ticket in a doubtful State. For the same reason, Judge Henry C. Cald well of Arkansas, an otherwise strong favorite from his high personal standing and known agreement with the Federal courts plank of the Chicago platforn, is less likely to be pushed as a candidate. I Jn the Republican list of possible nominees Governor Roosevelt would unquestionably stand first, if he wanted the nomination, and there appears to be a resolute movement on the part of some of his ardent friends to lift him into the second place on the ticket, regardless of his own wishes and calculations.

In New York State, at present, however, among his friends, the Governor's determination is generally regarded as fixed, and he is looked upon rather as a possible choice for the head of his party ticket in 1904 and a certain rumor for re-nomination as governor than as a man who can be pushed into a place that he does not want. Cornelius N. Bliss, ex-Secretary of the Interior, is regarded as a "receptive" rather than an active candidate. The Wimberly faction or the Republican party in Louisiana met February sth at New. Orleans and endorsed Mr.

Bliss' candicacy. The Howell-Herwig faction held a convention at Alexandria on February 6th and is understood to favor the nomination of Governor Roosevelt or Lieutenant-Governor Timothy Woodruff of New York. Hon. Elihu Root, Secretary of is a man of such exceptional ability and standing that he would be a formidable rival to anyone in I the field, if he had not postively withdrawn his name from consideration. General Francis V.

Greene, ex-President of the Barber Asphalt Company, and a prominent figure in the Spanish war, has influential friends, and Congressman James S. Sherman, New York; Chairman of the House Committee on Indian Affairs, is also spoken of. But none of these New Yorkers mentioned, outside of Governor Roosvelt, has the present prominence in the campaign today- of Lieutenant-Go vernor Woodruff. He has been, for some time, an active, ambitious candidate, relying on his wide-ranging business connections, personal friendships, and political associations to secure for him the practically unanimous support of his own. State delegation.

He is assured already at the solid and energetic backing of the ten delegates of his own Kings County, and his influence in the State is such that he would be more likely than any one else named to secure a majority at least, of the State delegation, if Senator Platt does not exert his conceded Influence as the Republican party leader, against his candidacy. Governor Crane of Massachusetts has been mentioned as a possible choice. In the west, ex-Congressman E. O. Standard, of St.

Louis, President of the National Board of Trade, has been prominently brought forward and his candidacy has been very strongly endorsed by Hon. Henry C. Payne, Republican National Committeeman for Wisconsin. Governor James A. Mount, of Indiana, and Governor Leslie M.

Shaw, of lowa, have also been suggested as strong nominees, and there is some talk of Senator Cushman A. Davis, of Minnesota. Hon. Webster Davis, of Kansas, Assistant Secretary of the Interior, and Governor Edward Schofield, of Wisconsin, Attorney -General John W. Griggs, Governor William A.

Stone, of Pennsylvania, and Senator Stephen B. Elkins, of West Virginia, appeared to be the only candidates thus far presented from the Middle States outside of New York. All these are unquestionably strong in their own states, but Senator Elkins is the only one thus far whose friends are making an active canvass in his behalf. Other candidates, of course, are likely to enter the field, and second place on the two tickets is obviously an open chance, for. as no one, speaking with authority for the Administration of Mr.

Bryan, has defined their preference or rot-shadowed their intention to 1 throw their influence in favor of any particular candidate. It is reported by prominent Populist leaders that their convention will endorse Mr. Bryan's candidacy, and it is asserted by some that the convention will present a candidate for Vice-Presldent with the hope that tlnl-ir nominee, may be acceptable the Democratic' National Convention. It is likely that these matters will be virtually decided at the meeting of the- Populist National Committee at Lincoln. on February lUth.
