Congressman Thomas Bowman Refuses to
Accept a Henomination.
YET HE THINKS THE NINTH IS ALL RIGHT
Tlirrr Are Mnny Drninorntn. However , Who

That Hon. Thomas Howman will not DO In
the race us a candidate for re-election to con-
cress seems to bo a pretty well determined
fact from the contents of a card which ho
Issued yesterday for circulation over this
concessional district
The card rends as follows : "To tno Democ
racy of the Ninth District Having been im
portuned by many of my con
stituents to bccoaio n candidate
for re-election I dcslto to state
hero and now that 1 do not Intend to nsplro
to a ro-elcction nor will J accept of n rcuoml-
nation. Situated as 1 am my private busi
ness demands my undivided attention and I
can only continue ] In public ofllco nt a gr < > at
personal sacrifice. This is Uio only
reason that prompts mo to decline n
ronomlnatlon. As regards the suc
cess of tbo party In this district the coming
fall 1 have not tbo least doubt. The Ninth
district has an amplitude < > f avall.iblo men ,
any ono of wnom can ho elected. The tret.a
of public sentiment Is toward doc.ocrulc !
principles. There is nothing cpncmeral
aoaut the great tidal wave that swept across
tno country In 1690.
"Tho revolution In sentiment Is growing
nnd the outlook for a sweeping victory , both
as to the concrcisional and presidential
tickets , was never brighter. In no place is
the change more firmly engrafted Into
public sentiment than in this district. A
wise nomination must of necessity bo lol-
lowed by success. It is with the ut
most contldenco of party success in this dis
trict that 1 tender my declination to bo a can
didate. In conclusion 1 desire to return my
sincere and humolo thatiks to the people of
this district for the honors they have bestowed -
stowed upon me , and while 1 wilt not bo a
candidate , 1 will do all 1 can to accomplish
the election of a democrat as my successor.
' TllilXUs BuWMAN. "
The meaning of this card has become the
subject of many Inquiries , both by democrats
nnd oy republicans. The republicans are not
disposed to take Mr. Bowman as meaning
precisely what ho bays so far as nis reason
for withdrawing is concerned. So far
there bavo been four men prominently
mentioned by the republicans for that posi
tion , Judge Walter I. Sinl'.h , Judge H. K.
Dcomorof Red Oak , ( ieorgo P. Smith and
Major H. CJ. Curtis of Atlantic. The fact
that Mr. lioxvman was the first democratic
congressman to be elected from the .Ninth
district , and that bo owed his election par
tially to local causes and circum
stances which might not have the sumo
weight in the coming election as In the last
is thought by many ; o have more to do with
Mr. Bowman's decision than his lack of
tlrno. At all events , however , Mr. Bowman ,
who is considered the strongest man the
democrats could put up , is out of the race ,
and it remain * to ho seen who will bo se
lected as standard bearer lor the democrats
of the Ninth congressional district In the
coming campaign.

quite extensively interested in Council

past twenty-six years. 1 finally con
tracted the liquor habU. so much so that
nothing less than from five to thirty
glasses a day would satisfy inc. Feeling
1 , was injurious to myself , my family
and my business 1 sought the aid of the
Blanchard Gold Cure. After treating
for the past twt n'y days am thoroughly
satisfied that 1 am absolutely cured of
the worst habit that man can acquire.
The treatment left mo robust and in the

OTTAWA , 111. , May C. Heavy rains brought
the floods today up to a point two feet higher
than ever. The south bluff boats were being
rowed through the streets to remove people
from their water soaked homes.
The power house of the electric railway
has several inches of water over the main
floor , compelling the abandonment of tbo
line. The c'ass ' factory district is all under
water and the Pioneer company has boon
compelled to shut down. Great furrows
have been made in many streets nnd culverts ,
sewers and drains have been rendered worth
less by the rushinc waters. The loss in this
city aione is fully $75,000. In the farming

"I have been deeply impressed with the
greatness of your country , the vastness
of its cities , the Inexhaustibility of its re
sources. Within one short week , 1 have
been permitted to see Boston , Niagara , Cni-
cage and Omaha , nnd during the
remainder of my life these words ,
as well as many another , will bo
sufficient to bring to mo a Hood of pleasant
recollections. Boston , with its wraith of
scholarly culture , its universities nnd its
Bunker Hill ; is'iauara , with its wonderful
scenery and Its sublime power , as well as its
associations that reminded me that there is
nothing moro wonderful Iu nature thau your
country is in history ; ' Chicago , Just risen

sands of citizens. 1 do not want you
to think that I have not been
a student of your country heretofore. I
have studied your characteristics and tried
to understand your politics and I am satis
fied that the hearts of these two great na
tions , yours and mine , beat in unison. Your
scientists , your scholars and your philoso
phers command our warmest admiration ,
and I am convinced that in this respect at
least America has not received her full meed
of praise. England and Germany nave done
much to enrich our store or classical learn
ing , but they buve been forced to look with

"Wo have a common interest in the great
Wesley , and I will speak to you nf the Eng
lish church aa ol an" elder sister who holds
you in a cop affection. The principal distinction - .
tion between us is that your environments
nre fluid , ours areicrystalfized. You mould
the conditions aronnd you , while we find
ourselves surrounded by conditions too firmly
established to be so easily overcome. I con
gratulate you on your increasing number * ,
which to us seem fabulous. I congratulate
you on your noble Sunday school organiza
tion , on your wonderful literature ,
your book concerns , your educational
establishments and your Epworlh league. I
hear with Intense interest of the develop
ment of women's work In your country and
especially of your deaconess' institutes.
"It is now my duty to bring you tidincs
from my c.nurch at home. V-'o look back
upon tbo last quadrotinlum with very min
gled feeilngs. Wo have lost some of our
brightest scholars and best workers , but wo
have" a choice array of young men , well
equipped and devoted to Christ , who
have stepped forward to fill the vacant
places In the ranKs. Tbo work of tumper-
nnco Is progressing earnestly and we have
every reason to believe that our efforts in
this cause will bo successful. The British
church is also beginning to take cognizance
of the moro complex questions of life.
While distinct from politics it Is beginning
to believe that religion should play
an effective part In social life. One
of the results of this is tbo stron ?
sentiment in favor of excluding trom
public lifo men of notoriously immoral char
acter. Wo are forced to emphatically denounce -
nounco sacerdotalism , not in our own
church , thank God , and. . I believe thu in
fluence of priestcraft In England Is loss now
than ever before.

greetings. I hnvo congratulated you on your
success. I am also charged to tell you that as
you on your sldonre , wo on ours nro faithful

Tbo sentiment against the election of any
now bishops by tbp p'erieral conference this
year is growing , aijd.thp present indications
are that none of tha "dozen or more aspiring
dlv.nes will be advanced to the episcopacy
for another four yearsTo some of the can
didates themselves ' lehis change In the sit
uation partiu.ly 'fiil * as these whoso
'
prospects bavo been growing daily less
brilliant since the opening .ession of tbo con
ference bavo made up thejr minds that if
they can not bo elected they do not want to
see any ono else grasp tbe plum , and are
therefore tow devoting their energies to pre
vent thu election nf uuy raoro birbopk this
year , hoping that bv the time the next gen
eral conference meets they may bavo their
fences in rood thai o to then secure what
they readily recognize they can not win thin
tlmet
Tbe colored brethren ara earnestly urging
that they be given a bishop of their own
color , but tbo prevailing opinion us ex pressed
is that they ore Curdly entitled to it as yet ,
and If they are l-aiy ! ! granted what Ihey'asU
it will coiuo in ilia nature of u tie-up on
which will also depend the election of some
of the ambitious white candidates.
There is a move on foot to bring up tbo
election of ofllcers as early as possible. It
ordinarily comes un toward the close of the
second week or early In the third week , but
there is now a strong desire to have It occur
not later than the middle of next week.
There Is , however , no means of telling when
it will take place , as it will all debend on the
outlook for the various candidates. If the
chances ol certain candidates , who can influ
ence a Ir.rgo following , nre regarded as fa-
vorabln the election will be rushed in order
that the aspirants may go in on tbo nich
tide , but if their chances do not look suffi
ciently promising it is measurably certain
that they will succeed In staving off the
eventful day in oraer to give them time to do
the necessary electioneering.
liliiK About the l' ircino"t .Men In tlui
Mrtltoillst Congrpfu.
Among the delegates and visitors now at-
tendinc the Methodist conference there are n
number of eminent men i.otonlyin their own
church but among the pulpit orators and
scholars of the laud.
Scmo of them will doubtless take n very
active part in the deliberations of the COUT
fcrence and tbe citizens of Omaha and visit
ors attending the conference would bo bene
fited by knowing something of their history
and personal achievements. The following
brief personal notices will assist tbo readers
of TH.E BLE in making the acquaintance of a
few of these leading men of the church.
A gentleman very widely known and who
took a loading part in the separate scaling
discussion. Is Dr. J. M. Bucklev , editor of
tbo New York Christian Advocate. Dr. Buck
ley is a man of a little less than medium
height , of firm build and possesses a clear ,
strong voice that commands attention in tbo
most excitlnc discussion. He is in the prune
of lifo and enters with deep earnestness into
all the Important discussions that come before -
fore the conference. Dr. Buckley Is n native
of New Jersey and was educated at I'emimg-
ton seminary nnd the Wesloyun university.
Ho entered the Now Hampshire couferenco

Another man who is sure to take a promi
nent part iu tbo conference is Dr. Luke C.
Queal of central > ew York. Ho is thor
oughly informed upon all usages and the leg-
isUtive work ot tbo conference for many
years past , and being a speaker of acknowl
edged force and sagacity , ho naturally takes
a front rank in discussion. Ho is accorded a
very high place in his own conference and
has'been sent to the general conference a
great many tiraos.
Dr. John i.anaban of Baltimore is another
leader in the distinguished gathering. Ho is
a puipit orator of great power and u clobulor
worthy ot moro than passing notice. Ho has
been a member of every general conference
since 1S.ii.
Dr. Henry A. Hutts of Drew Theological
seminary is a man of considerable note , and
his vuico in the conference will doubtless
command a good deal of attention , and bis
inllucnce will bo felt iu all the deliberations
of the bo'iy.
Dr. W. Warren , president of the Boston
university , has not yet arrived , nut it is con-
crully conceded that he will be ono of the
central ligures in tbo conference. He is a
man of ripe scholarship , great ftfrco of char
acter nnn positivu convictions. Ho is ono of
the moM widely known men outside of the
Methodist denomination attending tbo con
ference ,
Dr. Adna It. Leonard of Ohio Is at present
one of the missionary secretaries of the
church. Dr. Leonard is u leading urohibl-
tioniRt of his stale and was the prohibition
candidate for governor in Ohio BOIDO years

deep internal in the conference proceedinc * .

tire conference is Dr. John W Hamilton of
Boston. He Is tall and graceful in physique ,
nas a luxuriant head of hair and shaves his
finely moulded face perfectly smnoth . His
voice Is deep , musical , orotund and his ges
tures are both dopant and forcible. Dr.
Hamilton is ono of tbo moU successful and
popular preachers In Huston.
Another man who always makes himself
felt in the ireneral conference is Dr. Earl
Cranston of Denver , but whose official duties
are in Cincinnati iu connect.on with the
great book concern and publUhin house of
Cranston & Htowc. Dr. Cranston Is a mun

height , well proportioned anil wears short
whiskers on bis chin and a light brown

hlo speaker and usually defends his position

ous scholar and distinguished Wcsicyan

Coufrrriifc < ioit lji.
The question of electing additional bishop *
will probably cotne up for discussion on
Mfl - Id.
Chaplain Mci-'ube , It Is said , has the- epis
copacy bee iu hit hat. His friend * are urg
ing his election as bishop when the time
comes.
The colored brethren are colng to cress for
the election of a colored bishop. Dr. Grandson ! -
son of Dennett university will probably bo
their choico.
Next Monday night comes the great Ice-
turn by Chaplain McCabe at the Kirst
Methodist church. The svoject is tbo
"Bright Side of Lifo in Llbby Prison. "
Kv. J. L. Smith of Indiana Is 54 years old ,
but ho is not too old to assume marital re
sponsibilities. Ho wa * married the other day
to a lady over , r > 0 years old , a former sweet
heart.
The attendance in the calleries yesterday
was large. The public is beginning
to Cud out that the conference is
free to everybody. The impression
had prevailed among some that
thu public was not admitted without admis
sion ticket ? . Tbo conference is free , but
there are some seats reserved for those who
have paid for them. There are plenty of
good seats that are free to all.
Anotner thint ; the colored brethren want
and nro coiug to demand is the election of a
colored man as assistant secretary of the
Krecdmcn's Aid and Southern Education so
ciety. They have been caillncforthis for some
timebut , have not yet succeeded iu gaining
the point. It is likely that Dr. Hammond of
the Lexington conference will bo urged for
this position. Hev. Thomas Mason of Arkan
sas is also looking toward the assistant secre
taryship.
Dr. Grandison of Bennett university is
fond of fun. Ho was introducing Hov.
Thomas Mason to ono of the while
brethren and called him "Rev Thomas
Snowball. " A more striumg contrast could
scarcely ba conceived than that which
exists between the colored man introduce. !
and u ball of tbo beautiful. The colored men
have already scored some triumphs. They
have secured the election of Hev. Ilaygoodas
secretary of the committee on frcodmen's
aid and Grandison was elected secretary of
the committee on episcopacy.
Dr. H. B. Leonard , it will bo remembered.
Is tbo gentleman who had a rattier exciting
altercation with the presiding officer ono day
lust summer In the ecumenical conference ut
Washington , D. C. The presiding officer
that duy was un Englishman and Dr. Leon-
aid was not aware of the /act that according
to British usage ? a chairman is the
autocrat of the Louse. Dr. Leonard disa
greed with the ruling of tha chairman , and ,
demanded recognition to state bis grievance.
The chairman ignored him , nnd Dr. Leonard
became exciteJ , calling for nn appeal to the
house. The chairman simply called him to
order and went on. Then Dr. Lifonura fairly
roared and pranced up and down the aisle ,
but the forolrn delegates howled and hissed
him down. Ho was finally obliged to con ;
up bis indignation and sit dn\v > j.

' Ship Ahoy. " a musical farce with u
nautical setting , began its engagement at the
Boyd last evening. Thcro is nothing no to-
worthy In the music beyond a soprano num
ber or two and several quartets , tha latter
apparently "introduced'1 from other sources ,
but the burlesque is amusing and nt times
rollicking , and tbe staging is particularly at
tractive.
The first scenn represents an unknown
Utandupnn which Colonel Maoioson Mul
berry's opera company has been str.indoil. A
pretty piece of scenery shows a topical tslut-d
with tbo wreck of thu ship in one corner , and
a man-of-war salts into view on the sea in the
background. The singers are taken on
board , and the second sccno shows the oex-k
of the war ship. The commodore is too con
vivial , and wbilo bu is recovering
from tbo etree's of bis indulgcnco tbo
opera tnanaccr puts on his uniform and
takes command of the vessel. The third
act transpires on the veranda of a hotel near
Fortress Monroe , ami un effective bit of
.staging Is introduced by the passage of the
White Squadron , each boat firing u .salt.to.
In tills act the commodore retrain * his
uniform hncl bin authority , the prirna donnai
nro mated with lovers in uniform , and the
manager subsides.
There are several good voices In the corn-
panv ami tbe comedians do tbo farcical work
with considerable cleverness. One of them
slides across the stagu on his ttomach with a
rccklosucss that would excite the envy of a
base ball player , and the audience lust night
made him repeat it. The company puts
plenty of snnp into its work , and llio audi
ence evidently enjoyed the merry , jingling
divertisement ,

direction of L. J. Carter , the author. The
