FAIRS CANDIDACY.

There is nothing a. yet to indicate that Col
Fair intends to run for the United States SEN
ate. For many months past Col. Fair has
been travelling in tho Old World and there is
nothing to indicate his intention of going into
politics except the idlest kind of rumors. It
is not likely that as shrewd man as Fair
would authorize such an announcement from
Paris or Canton without FIRST taking square
look 1T the field These runners all come
from Democratic sources and only confirm tho
suspicion entertained by the APPEAL that it is
part of the Bourbon plot to announce his
candidacy that the Republican party may
finally conclude, that if fight of sacks is in
evitable, none but monsyed man like Sharon
can enter the lists The men who are in this
scheme are anxious to see Sharon the CHOICE
of the Republican party that they may &C.
complish coup d'etat by unseating him at
Washington. The runners of Fairs candidacy
reach the people at time when that gentle.
man is in Europe travelling about from place
to place as the fancy seizes him, and even did
such report reach him he probably would not
take the trouble to contradict it. An long as the
Democrats can make the people think that FAIR
intends running it will cause good many Nm
thinking Republicans to fall on the Sharon
side of the question, yielding to the popular
idea that no one but millionaire can stand
any show against the Bonanzss of Nevada
We hope that the Republican party will not
fall into this trap set by few designing
Democrats. Wetrustt that after what the APPEAL
has shown regarding the Senatorial question
the journals which have been abusing 1t for
its refusal to see the Republican party led to
it's destruction, will reflect upon the situation
as presented in our issue of yesterday. How
ever sincere may be the course of the Sharon
newspapers in the support of their candidate,
they can no longer put it on the grounds,
that it is a wise party measure. The cry
raised against the APPEAL for its alleged lack
of Republicanism, has only come from the
newspapers who are blind guides with sight
less following. We have plainly shown them
the dangerous road they are travelling, and
the pit it ends in. We are content to let
the people Judge between the APPEAL in its
present position, and the journals which have
endeavored to force us from the party be.
cause we declined to make its interest SUBJ
servient to the personal ambition OF a non.

MADRID. Aug. 49,
An exciting discussion is raging between
the opposition papers and the ministsrislist
journals upon the title of the Queens first
born. The Cabinet holds that a Princess can
only assume the title of Asturias by an act of
the Royal prerogative. This is contrary to
the opinion of the Opposition leaders and
representatives of the province of Asturias,
who intend to lodge protest if the Queen
gives birth to daughter. Preparations for
the coming event are complete The dplo.

in Eureka Rev. Mr.. Crawford was playing on
the Episcopal Church with hose, when a
rowdy came up and attempted to take away
the hose, remarking the uselessness of saving

knocked the rowdy down, and keeping his

muscle as well as faith is necessary to perform

logical honors will be examined physically
