November 21.—-William Hamli'lph Herast, editor of Ine New York Journal, tho Chicago American and the San Francisco Examiner, is a ( umiUldate tor the office of presi dent. of the United States, subject to the decision of the democrats and the voters. He lias been elected to con giows from a New York city district, and wiil soon takcup his residence in Washington, where he will establish another paper, which will be more ol a political organ than a purveyor of news. It will be used with the oner Hearst papers to push along the politi cal ambitions of the proprietor, Th'e idea lias been well received b\ the men who make it their business to anticipate the wishes of tne people. What is needed most by the party out of power is a man. Issues are sure to develop, to bring together tne scattered and discordant elements, a new man must be found, and Hearst steps to the front. He Is without a political record save for tne general policy of his papers, which have been strongly in favor o, labor and the common people. Then he has some mUttons back of him i the sinews 01 war. U is no new ot sudden thought with ucarst. He is a young man of fixed ideas, and plans reaching far ahead. With the stop ping stone of his father's wealth aim prestige and the iutluenoe of four great organs, lie sees no reason why ho should not aspire to the 'highest office in tue land—and scuceed. He figures that the chances arc not so bright in 1901 as they will bo tom years later. By* that -time the two-term rule will have eliminated Roosevelt, the dominant party will have made the inevitable mistakes, factional differ ences will have caused divisions, the high wave of prosperity will have suls sided, and tue country will be ready for a change. It is the hope and plan of William It. Hearst. to he ready .m just this state of affairs. SOUGHT MONEY BY BLACKMAIL. Batho Strubel Confesses to Sending Threatening Letters to Morgan. New York.

Early yesterday it was currently re torted that Judge Crovatt's friends were to attend too meeting and seek bis nomination. He said he wasn’t in it. They refused to accept Inis state ment. and at last night’s meeting those who cared for him best turned out in numbers, determined to support, him for mayor and no man in the con fines of all Brunswick could have won the nomination over Judge Ciovatt.

His friends ' said nay. He acquiesced. The crowd was impatient. “Crovatt, Crovatt, Crovatt," was the call of the people, but the old time mayor Brunswick, ex-judge of the .county court, the pol ished club man, tne able lawyer, was in the hands of his friends below, ana it was impossible for him to respond to Ms anxious friends wfTo wished to hear from him. Along these lines and without tent to reflect upiTiV how his nomina tion came about it is but pure justice to Judge Cioval to say that nis nomi nal ion last night was one, if not the. most distinctive honor ever conferred upon an individual citizen oy a people | who knew him and loved him best for 'l i service in a cause They" deem righteous.
