THE OMAHA DAILY JBKE : TUESDAY , APRIL 19 , 1892. GORMAN'S * LATEST SCHEME Leaving the National Committee to Work for the Presidential Nomination. HE IS QUITE FRIENDLY WITH CLEVELAND ncQ of tlio r.x-l'rrsldont Will Ho IU. trndrit thn Uninorriitlo Senator In the r.vcnt Tlmt HIM Nrrtirm the I , rail In the Contention , WASHINGTON nunnxu OF Ttm line , (513 ( FoUllTKKNTIt STIIKKT , WASIIISOTOX , D. C. , April 13. Senator Gorman today confirmed the re port that ho Intended to rotiru from the position ho ha * so lon ( { hold ns a member ot the democratic national committee. Ills withdrawal occasioned much surprise hero , as ho has boon looked upon ns the most adroit political general on the national com mittee. The ostotnlblo reason for the re tirement Is that Mr. Gorman is suffering from u very severe attark of the grip which pros trutoil him about , nycar ngo. Coming after his arduous labors to defeat the federal elec tion bill , tbo dlsonso took a deep hold upon his system. Only a short tlmo ago ho was again confined to his room for two weeks from an tiUnolt of lumbago , which loft him so weak thnt ho seriously contemplated a trip to the south , Intending to remain a month. Is is bollovod , however , that Mr. Gorman's 111 health Is not the only reason for his re tirement from the labors ns a member of the national committee. Ho nnd his friends hnvo watched with considerable satisfaction of Into thu crowing proportions of Gorman's urcsldontlnl boom nnd it U bolluvcd that it Is not Improbable that a stnto of affairs may develop In Chicago which will load to his nomination. I'rnpnrcMl to Kntcr thn Contest. Mr. Gorman Is stripping himself of all In- cutnbranco and preparing to en tor the contest If the wny Is luld open to him. Hill does netlike like the growing movement toward Gorman , Ho had counted on the Mar } land senator as ono of his main allies und ho Is rather crest fallen to Una thut Mr. Gorman lias a candi dacy ot his own nnd Is on very cordial terms with Mr. Clovolund. It may now bo stated that thcro Is a friendly understanding between Senator Gorman and Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Gorman will not try to prevent Mr. Cleveland's nom ination , but on the other hand if the trend ol events show thut Mr. Cleveland' } nomina tion will bo out of thu question It is probable that u good shnro of thu Cleveland following will go to Gorman by and with the ail vlco nnd consent of Mr. Cleveland himself , who has not forgotten Mr. Gorman's services ns national chairman in the campaign of 18SI. Mr. Gorman's retirement from the commit tee nlso frees him from any possible accusa tion by the friends ot cither Mr. C'lovolund or Mr. Hill that ho is using tlm party ma chinery through his Inlluotico as ti commit- toouinn to alToct the choice of delegates In nny uart of the country. In short Mr. Gor man's action Is construed as the most direct evidence yot. made public that , ho Is actually an aspirant for the nomination. In reporting favorably the bill appropriat ing $ , ' 00.000 for a liublic building nt Chey enne , Wyo. , and reducing the coat limit to $100,000 , the housu committee on public buildings nnd grounds says this : "Thoro are two passenger depots In Chovenuo. ono of which was constructed at a cost of $123,000 nnd the other at u cost of $100,000. The cash receipts of the railroad companies there ag gregate $1 , 000,000potannum. . The city is Rupplicd with commodious business bouses nnd comfortable homos.

The 'popula tion is 13,000. The receipts of the postoflico are nearly $20,000 per annum.Near the city is located Fort , Kussoll , one of the principal military posts in tbo west. The United Stales district and circuit courts are hold In Cheyenne. The government pays out for annual rental for postolllce , courts nnd other government ofUces In Cheyenne $8,000. Ex-Hcproscntatlvo Edwin H. Conger of loxvn , United States minister to Brazil , Is hero aud says : "Tho reciprocity agreement between the United States and Bnuil is working admirably ; It is a success. Time will demonstrate it ono of the wisest stops ot International policy over devised. It will Inorcaao enormously ibo trade between the two countries , and the benefits are mutual instead of all on ono side as falsely pro claimed by some enemies of reciprocity at the outset. The Brazilian government U X hly pleased with the arrangement and there can bo no doubt of 1U permanency. " Nchrnnku nnd limn IiulelitodneMX.

Nothing now transpired in the police cir cles of the city to change the situation from Saturday night until till ? afternoon. Both torcos bavo patrolled the streets with no clashing of mutual interests. Acting Chief Binges has instructed his special policemen , who comprise all of the old force , to bo ex tremely careful in their relations to the men appointed oy the excise board Saturday afternoon , while Chief Otto has been equally particular In instructing his men not to in terfere with the specials. Tno mayor has taken the situation good humorodly , anil to all inquiries slates that ho has no objection ? to any of the men appointed by the excise board uatrolling the streets as long as they do it simply for exorciso. At 11:30 : o'clock this afternoon R B. Kun- ball applied to the district court for an order restraining O. P. Dlnees and his men from interfering with Louis Otto and his force of policemen in the performance of their duties , and also enjoining Dlngcs and his men from placing any obstacles In the way of Otto and his men from taking possession of the police station for tno purpose of transacting the police business of the city. A' 7 o'clock this evening the restraining order wai Issued by the district court and was served upon Acting Chief Dingos and each one of the members of the old police forco. The nrdor was , as a matter of course , obeyed. The police station , together with all books , papers , etc. , was turned over to Chief Otto and the old men walked out. Captain Mlllor , a member of the old force , who was reappointed by the excise board , declined to report for duty to Chief Otto , and wont out with his follow members of the old force. The restraining order will bo or was made returnable to court Thursday morning , at which time the case will bo argued from both sides. It is the general impression that the matter will go to the supreme court aculn before eithar side will bo satisfied. Good Cooking Is ono of the chlof blessings of every homo.

The committee reported - ported that nine of the pastors of Omaha bad soon their people with regard to this arrange , mout and bad utrreed to place their churches at the disposal of the alliance committee and Mr. Mills during the meetings. Some of Ibo pastors had evidently not received the conls sent out by tbo committee , and it was decided to inuko another effort to get word from all the evangelical churches in the city upon the matter before any dolinlto arrangements should bo made.
