The Arab loss at Alexandria is report
ed at 1900 killed and 1000 wounded.
These figures are so badly out of proper

those massacred by the mob are included.
Gen. Stone has cast his fortunes with the
khedive. Sir Garnet Wolseley is ready to
proceed to the east ut moments notice.
England is to proceed vigorously. The ma
rines are clearing the streets of the plum

Mr.. Thomas is again before the people
for their sutirages We shall look fairly
into his record as the representative of the
peoples interest; and we shall also look and
see whether he is entitled to any credit as
the friend of Caro-. In his fight within his
own party THE BULLETIN saw fit to ask tair
| play for Mr.. Thomas. We exposed some of
! the rascalities praCticcd against him by his
own party, We favored his nomination and
endeavorcd to secure it, and succeeded.
We now desire his defeat and shall en-
deavor to secure it, and we believe we shall
succeed.

In the Tournament at st. Mary : park

taking two of the three rings. Another
dash was taken by these two, and Mr..
Vaughan came out victorious, taking three

We do not anticipate great gains from
discords in the ranks of the Republican
partv We RELY for success upon the fact
that there is not any Republican majority
in the district. Before the last presidential
campaign the Republican party evaded the

the Democracy and against the policy of
the Republican party. If these questions
can be fairly aud fully debated before the
people, the result will not be doubtful
