Hardt, claiming to be a jeweler, and that he lived in Chicago, was arrested as he landed from Europe yesterday. Upon the removal of his earments a porous plaster was discovered fitting nicely to his shoulder blades. A gentle tapping upon the plaster convinced the inspector that something beside lame back lay behind the plaster, and despile the pa tient's protestations the plaster was rudely torn off, when lo and behold, there dropped out one pair of diamond ear rings, one pair of diamond and pearl ear-rings, one diamond bracelet and one diamond ring; total value, $000.

Besides," added Mr. Clarkson, "I am not wanted for the place and I have sense enough to know it. Of course 1 am gratclul to the good friends in various states who have thought otherwise, but this is the truth. ho is your preicrence tor therepub ican nomination ?" I have not taken sides in the matter, and as chairman of the natiouid com mittee I could not properly do so. I can only sav that I hope the pnrk.y will exer cise abundant caution and deliberation in the choice, For it will give itselt vic tory or defeat in makingthe nomination. We need the man who will heal all re publican divisions every where, who will poll the full party vote, and draw most strongly on the million fust voters this venr. and most heavily draw Ironi the democrats in New York and the northern states, the men already hall way in favor of republicanism, by being in favor of reciprocity." "How can the man be found ? "Find the man most sure to heal and unite and inspire the party in New York, Indiana, Wisconsin and the other doubt ful states, and the man who will draw enough republican soldiers and enough republican limners naeu irom tneaniance to make Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Min nesota, and Wisconsin surely republican, and you will have louud the man. In such a situation the view of the republi cans ol sucll (loulittul yet necessary states ought to be deferred to very largely." "Do you think there will be several candidates balloted for?" "It looks so. Alger, Cullotn, and Blair arc proclaimed candidates. Man dcrson is likely to be. There is a strong undertone or popular movement toward Uncle Jerry Rusk, and one of gathering power for Gov. McKinley." "Isn't it too earlv for McKinley, so soon after the passage of his bill." "No, there is nothing in that. The re publican party is responsible for the bill, and the author would only add honor to it. McKinley is of the half dozen men giyen to a nation in a century. He is strong and splendid in every tiling mat Americans most admire and he will be orcsident some day. Old Uncle crry Rusk, in whose lile there has been much that touches in sympathy the millions of American homes that are acquainted with struggle and hardship, would make a strong and popular candidate. "But," said Mr. Clarkson, "the party will do the right thing at Minneapolis. Blaine could be nominated and could be elected beyond all doubt it he would take it, and he is our only certain sure winner. President Harrison has added to the glorv of the name of the country and the party both. He lias grown steadily in public estimation and m the last year rapidly in party estimation. It is not unlikely and indeed probable that he may be chosen again. If the party is left" free to make up its mind, and no effott is made which will change the dig nity of his oosition nor put him in the light of scrambling forrcnoiiiination, the final iudtmient at Minneapolis is most likely to be in his favor. But he is show ing his own breadth and political wis dom in holding that the party should meantime review the field completely, discuss all available men frankly, and then decide with something like unanim ity of party opinion and ciesire. Such a choice would mean the election ol the candidate selected, himself or whoever it should be." Mr. Clnrkson's family hope to be able to take him on Saturday in a special car to Hot Springs, Arkansas. A Very Ii .idatory Address of Welcome A Brief Keplv Km bod vitig; Denunciation of Hie w H M.
