walked over to where l was standing and
looked in my face, and went into the house
again. Then he and Traver came out, and
McLain pulled his gan and pointed it at me,
saying Now, you f -, you
will get soin." told him that did not want
any trouble that just wanted to ask Trsver
if he was going to pay nae or not; all wanted
was for hlm to say yes or no. 1ravsr said d:
" Yes, you will get paid, and at the Same

leaped past them and pulled my pistol and
told then to keep away from me. They kept
coming closer to me and backed me up about
fifty feet. All that time kept telling them
to keep back and 90 away from me, but they
kept closing in on me, and McLain had his
gan within six inches of my breast, and was
within five feet of the house, and then l called
for help Then Traver hit me in the neck and
knocked me against the side of the house,
when McLain hit me on the nose With his gun
and knocked nae down with my back against

Travsr caught hold of my gun and tried to
take it away from me. All this time McLa n

DEMOCRATIC INTEREST IN REPUB-
LlCAN POLITICS.

The question of selecting epublican can
didate for the next Presidential campaign is
already beginning to seriously agitats the Dem
ocratic journals. Already the Virginia Chron-
ieIe and the Eureka Sentinel are making up
the slate. L. is standing rule with the Dem
ocratic press-and has been observed for years
past-to attend to the nominations of the Re-
publican party and put up an easy man to
beat. liz most of the sad instances which
impress our recollection, the Bourbon jour
mails, whenever they have succeeded in such
a nomination, have had the satisfaction of
seeing their choice ride triumphantly into Of
fee by IN unmistakable majority. Their nen
of straw turn out to be creations of iron, and
the supposed political ghosts conjured up to
be blown away by the breath of newspaper
criticism, stalk before their astonished vision
as quickened enbodiments of flesh and blood,
when backed by the power and prestige Of the
Republican party. 1t would seem that after
so many glazing failures, the Democracy would
devote the time they have wasted upon organ
irng the Republican party in future to erganiz-
ing their own. Ii the victims Of lost opportunity
and wasted endeavor would direct their ener-
gies as the APPEAL suggests their defeats in
future would be attended by less of the rout
and decentralization than has been witnessed
in the past. While the course which We have
outlined might not result in victory, probably
could not, the leaders of the defeated forces
would still have enough bleeding fragments
left to receive the official recognition of the
enemy and demand decent burial

PRESIDENTIAL AND SENATORIAL.

Tho evening Chronicle has intervie wed sew
eral leading Republicans and presents their
views on the question of a Presidential candi-
date. Governor Kinkead when asked What
course do you think will be pursued in choos-
ing delegates to the National Republican Con-
ventionl Will they be appointed by the State
Central Committee or will it be necessary to
hold State Conventionf' replied: Well
don't know. I suppose that is the question
to be decided at the meeting of the State Cen
trial Committee in this city next week. If the
committee takes the responsibility of appoint
ing the dee yates, there will be a general
howl think it would be better to have a
convention. The only argument used against
having convention is that it would cost 80
much. 1t need not cost very much, however,
if it is properly managed. / know that in the
outside counties the folks are in favor of hold
ing a convention. / think that in any event
the delegates should 60 unpledged At pres
emit Grant and Blaine are the only names that
I consider in any way prominent, but there Is
no telling what might happen, and our repre-
sentatives in the convention should be unfet-
tered"
F. A. TrItle, ofthe State Central Committee
expressed his opinion as follows: ~ am in
favor of having primaries, electing delegates
to State Convention and electing delegates
to the National Convention in the regular way.
My favorite is Blaine like him because he
is a full, live man. He is man of to- day; a
man Of the people. Heis comparatively young
and would make good President. There is
no question in my mind hat that he could
carry the Pacific coast. His position on the
Chinese ques ion is enough for that. l think

toned besides Sharon. WOODBURY., Daggett,
Tritle, Fair, Hillyer, Whitman and Wren are
talked of. Of these, Daggett, Weodburn and
Fair seem most popular at present. Hilyer,
though an able man, is not a popular one
Fair is in poor health, and the fatigues of
senatorial canvass would be too much for him.
There is talk of the Bonanza firm backing Fri
tie. This is a mistake, as Tritle is of more
use to them on the Comstock than he ever
could be in Washington. Whitman is an hon
est man and good lawyer, but has not the
pushing force nselsd in senatorial rspresen-
tstive. The same may be said of Wren. Both
Woodburn and Daggett now possess popular
strength, although neither could make mon
led fight. The friends of both men assert that
either could beat Sharon
