The nomination of Mr.. Grace for may
or of New York has created feeling be-
tween the opposing factions Of the De-
mocracy of that city which cannot fail to
exert potent influence upon the presi-
Dental election in November. The can
didate, who is an ardent Catholic, is the
choice of John Kelly, who, in making
the selection that he has antagonizes the
protestant element of the Democracy of
that city. and has infused into the can
vass the disturbing influences of bitter
sectarian contest The New York Her
aid, the leading independent journal of
that city, in very able editorial in rela
ton to this matter, says:
Is it wise or even q respectable act
toward his church that Mr.. Kelly should
thus wantonly, without the least cause,

duce a new, disturbing, and to his own
church surely, a damaging element into
the presidential canvass? What does
Mr.. Kelly mean? He is supposed to de.
sire the success of his party; that party
is just now making death struggle for
the presidency and against such odds as

as he knows, as everybody knows, will
arouse a new kind of prejudice, an un

less damaging for that. against
the Democrats. and drive not one but 6
dozen new nails into the Democratic
coffin. We believe that Mr.. Kelly, in
pitching upon Mr.. Grace rs his candI
date, out of all from whom he nigh
have selected, flies in the face of the
common sense and the wishes of thu
great mass of Catholics of this city
We have reason to know that this is trut
of some of the best and most prominen
members of that church.

FASHION NOTES.
Hoods are the coming craze.

Hoods are the coming craze.
Jet will be worn TO excess this winter.
New ostrich feathers are very thick
and heavy.
Artistic embroideries are being pre-
pared for the coming season.
The caleche bonnets of our grand.
mothers and the small capote are the
new fall styles.
Monte cloths of fine, pure wool, and
in stylish colors, are of red for winter
dresses. They are yard wide.
A stylish combination for the fall will
be old gold and prune color Green and
old gold will vie with it in favor.
Velvet will be the prevailing material
for winter dresses, and the plain will be
matched with the figure, the latter used
| for trimming.
The long polonaise, which will be re
tanned the coming season, is longer thar
| ever, and is perhaps handsomer than ev.
er heretofore because of the attention
paid to its fit.
Green is color that will be brought
| into prominence this fall. It will bt
used IN the combination with the new
copper colors, with which it contrasts
| well.
Buttons in the forms of large hooks
and eyes in glittering steel are used fol
dresses or are worn singly for fastening
| the collar at the throat, the cuffs at the
| wrists.
| Some of the new basQues are cut long
| and square front, with pocket put or
each side of this square front; the backs
of such basques are short, and cut tC
| form two points.

ORIGIN OF THE MERINO SHEEP.

AS the ancient Greeks had no cotton
nor silk, and very little linneD, and as
sleeps wool was the principal texture
from which the clothes were made, they
took peculiar care to cultivate with es
pecial care such breeds of sheep as pro.
duced very fine wool. such breeds were
those of the Greek city of Tarentum,
situated on the Tarentine Gulf. in or
der to improve the fine quality of the
wool still more, the sheep were covered
with clothes in cold weather, as 1t was
found by experience that exposure tc
cold made the wool coarser. Thus clos
ing these sheep from generation to gen.
Grafton resulting in very delicate breed
with exceedingly fine wool, according to
the law established by Darwin in regard
to selection and adaptation to exterior
conditions. This product of Greek IN.
dustry was transmitted by them to the
Romans, whose great agricultural author
Colunella, states that his uncle in Spain
crossed the fine Tarentine sheep with
rams imported from Africa, and OBJ
tanned q stronger breed, combining the
whiteness of the fleece of the father
with the fneness of the fleece of the
mother, and having obtained such re
suits the race was perpetuated. The alb
sence of other fine textures made these
Spanish sheep so valuable that IN the
beginning of our era they were sold
in Rome for $1,000 in gold a head, an
enormous price for those times, when
money had much more value than now
When the barbarians invaded Italy these
sheep were all exterminated, while the
greater portions of the Roman possess.
Ions were laid waste. But IN the less &C.
cesible mountains OF Spain the Moors
preserved the breed, and it Is to them
that modern Spain owes the merino
seeep, which are the direct descendants
of this cross breed Of the Greek and
African ancestors referred TO. It is q
valuable inheritance, 10 which that coun-
try owes to the combined Greek, Roman,
Moorish civilization, and of which our
California woool-grcwers also earn the
advantages, by the prosperity Of this
breed of sheep, which was there few
years ago.

rHE sRNATnRsHIP

Running against Mr. Gillelt for state
senator is a man named Cogswell, Of En-
reka He is said TO be Republican,
and is running in answer TO the desires
of those in Greenwood county who are
dissatisfied with the Republican nomi-
nee on local grounds, and also at the re-
quest of some of the Democrats and mon
grels in this county. We understand he
has been promised by them twelve hun
dred majority in Lyon county. Cogs-
we'll said in a speech al Madison, We un-
derstand, that he would have 1900
majority in Lyon county. OF course he
knows sll about Lyon county. If he gets
that majority here he will undoubtedly
be elected. Good men from Greenwood
county tell US openly that
Cogswell is not competent to Ill
the office. We judge this Is true from
the very fact that he claims Lyon coun-
ty by 1, 800 majority. Both the Repub-
lican papers in Greenwood county, the
Eureka Herald and Madison News, are
supporting Major Gillett and he will
have n large vote there. There is no
good reason why any Republican should
vote against the Republican nominee
because he is peculiarly fitted for the
place and by his ability and learning
will be, as he has been. a real credit to
the district. He stood at the head in the
last state senate, no man being more re
spected for learning and fairness.

WHY 1T SHOULD WIN.

We regard as foregone conclusion
the success of the Republican party, and
base our hope of its triumph on the
broad argument that 1t will be victorious
because it deserves to win. The ground
work of our faith is found in the follow
ing reasons:
The Republican party is the only par
ty which has no cause to be ashamed of
its past record.
1t began its existence by resisting the
extension of the culse of human slavery
to the free territories of the west.
1t fought four years war to save the
Union from being broken into frag.
ments, and conquered the most formida-
BILE rebellion known to history.
1t emancipated four millions of slaves,
and gave them the right To "life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness" which the
Declaration of Independence pronounced
to be the inalienable right of all mankind
BY an amendment to the constitution
it forbade the states TO deprive any citi.
zen of the ballot on account of the color
of his skin, thus making suffrage ma.
tional and impartial.

A POSITIVE DENIAL

The SANDER on G. u. Graves, Republi-
can Candidate for Judge.
The charge that G. B. Graves had paid
$1,000, or something OF that sort, to Sc
cure the withdrawal of Judge Peyton, SO
that he might receive the nomination for
Judge of this district has been industrious
ly circulated over this county by men
who ought to be in better business. The
report reached US last Thursday for the
first time. We at once stated that we
did not believe it; that we had known
Mr.. Graves for some years and believed
him to be above such business. We i'm,
mediately went to parties here who were
connected with the transaction by rumor
and they gave the most positive denial
to the report so far sa they were concern.
ed in it.
Letters were sent to Mr.. Graves to in
form him of this malicious lie in circu
lation about him, but he being
absent did not receive the
letters. He met the re
port first at Madison on Monday night
There he gave it the most positive deni
al. So he did at his meeting at Hart
ford Tuesday night. He arrived in this
city Wednesday morning, and we inter
viewed him to see what he had to say oil
the rumor He seemed much surprised
that there were persons malicious
enough to make out of whole cloth such
story and then to circulate il
throughout the district. He said in the
most emphatic manner that he had never
promised, contracted or agreed in any
manner whatever to any person or Per
sons whatever to give or do anything
whatever to influence or secure either
his nomination or election, and that nc
person or persons have ever requested
him to give or do anything for that pur
pose. This is entirely satisfactory in
our estimation, and Mt Graves ought
to receive every Republican vote in the
district. A very effective quietus. ought
to be put upon the person or persons
who would resort to such rascally means
of defeating any man.
