tiles between the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company and the Panama Rail-
road Company are again the talk of
the street. The Panama road threat
ems to evaie the injunction now in

the friends of Senator Thurman have
organized within few days and pro-
pose to push his candidacy for the

Democratic members of Congress who
have been regarded as friendly to the

Democratic members in Congress are
pushing the claims of Justice Davis,
of the U. S. Supreme Court, as Dem

several prominent Democrats are men,
toned as favorable to his nomination.
A Republican member of the Com
mittee of Ways and Means estimates

is ready to ask its consideration at the

The Radicals are right when they
say that the ticket headed by such a
soldier, salesman and patriot as Cen.
Frank T. Nichols, does not mean vic.
lence towards the colored republican,
and a closer scrutiny Of tho ticket
will convince the average United

for 'bulldoosing' at their hands to any
great extent, either.
