Grants Nomination Means De-
~ feated.
From an interview with Geo. VIM. Curtis. |

From an interview with Geo. VIM. Curtis.
tsSuppose the Grant leaders go
on in defiance Of the powerful sen
timent against a third term; sup.
pose they secure a majority in the
in the Chicago Convention and
nominate Grant-what then?''
"The result would probably be
the defeat of General Grant and
the consequent break mp Of the
Republican party. I do not think
however, that the Grant leaders will
heed this danger. They prefer the
defeat of the party to another ad-
ministration which they cam OF
control"
"Will the anti Grant element 90
so far as to organize against him
in case he is nominatel?'
cit is too early to speak definite
ly on this point. There is undoubt.
edIy, an opinion ripening Which
may result in come action like th at
of the Liberty party in 1874. No
such strenuous opp osition to the
nomination of presidential candi-
date as is now manifested towards
General Grant was ever shown, so
far as [ remember, before nomi-
mating convention"
"Is this opposition more wide
spread and positive than was sho wn
in 1875, when SO many Republicans
State conventions pronounced
against a third term o.
Il thinksit is, anu it is evidently
increasing in volume and power
from week to week"
"What would be the effect of the
nomination OF second Republican
candidate representing the opposl-
ton to Grantism g.
cit would tend, as said before, te
disorganize the Republican party
which is not strong enough to
stand such strain"
"Looking back over the political
history of the country, was can
didate for President ever nominated
in the face of an opposition en-
bracing majority of the party %
"Never, and when considerable
minority has shown a decided OBJ
lection to a candidate, motives or
expcdiency have always prevailed
and he has been dropped for the
sake OF harmony"

Youthful Vaqueros,
Daring Feats Performed on Horseback
By Boy and Girl.

oy Dog ana Gtrt.
A gentleman who lives on the
Stanislaus river, close to its june
ticn with the San Joaquin, told
Naat reporter what he never would
have believed had he not known
his informant TO be entirely trust
worthy. He said that near his
place are boy and girl, the former
about twelve and the other fourteen
years of age, who frequently jump
into the saddle in the morning and
ride all day among droves of wild
cattle, which would surely gore
them to death SHOULD! they become
unseatcd. Both carry lariats and
if they see calf in the drove that
has escaped being marked, they
run on to it, they boy throwing his
rope and catching it by the head
and the girl by the feet, after which
the cars and brisket are duly cut.
But this is not all. On the ranch
is large bottom of undergrowtb,
in which roam hundreds of wild
hogs. Of these the boars are per-
fectly ferocious and will tighe when
pressed the least hit. The children
mounted on their well trained
horses and carrying in their hands
the lasso which they so skillfully
handle, dash headlong after these
hogs over alb sorts Of ground, up
and down steep banks, catching one
out of nearly every drove they
scare mp. Last summer they caught
over thirty in this manner. When
the lasso is thrown on the head and
feet of the hog and he is stretched
out SO that he can do no harm, the
boy gets down from his morse and
ties the hogs feet with pieces of
rope carried along for the purpose.
His horse stands as firmly without
as with the rider, being trained to
that work and never having any
other. A wagon is sent for the
hog, which is placed in a strong
pen and soon tanned so that he can
be iatted for the market. A few
days ago the boy was riding in the
underground, when he started up a
deer. Putting spurs to his horse
he got near enough to the deer to
throw his lasso on to his horns, but
he did not have time to fastcn the
other end of the lasso to his saddle
before the fieet-footed animal was
off with the rope and all. These
children have been riding constant
ly ever since they We're blg enough
to sit on a horse.-StOckton (Cal }
