virginia-Flrst District, winfield Scott,
Coalitionist declinodi Colonel W. E. Sims,
nominated.
Kontucky-Eighth District. Colonel william
o. Bradley, Republican, declines TO accept on
tho ground OF Interference with private pusi-
ness.
Senator Harrison, of Indiana, appears to
be moro in demand than any othor stump
speaker In this campaign. He Will aid the
Ohio Republicans, and then begin the canvass
of his own State.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee is said TO be 80 badly or for funds
that IT is unable to distribute any documents
except such arc furnished to II free OF cost. A
few rich Congressman arc reported TO be TAX
ing advantage OF tho committees poverty to
dump several cart-loads OF thoir speeches Into
Its hands for circulatlon.
Since the nomination of Mr.. Louis Il.
McOomas for Congress by tho Republican
party OF the Frederick district, an earnest of.
fort has been made TO induce Colonel l.. Vic
tor Baughman, OF Frederick City, TO allow his
name TO be presented to tho Democratic Con.
gressional Convention, which meets at Cum.
berlnnd In October. Up TO this time, how
ever, Mr.. Baughman has positively declined.
All hope of compromising the difference
between the Republican factions in Pennsyl.
vania appears to have been abandoned. Tho
Lancaster Inquirer, which supports Beaver,
says: "The dullcst observer of state politics
cannot fall of conviction that the breach be-
tween the two divisions OF the Ropublicans In
this State has gone too far to be healed. There
Is no way left but to fight It out, let the conse.
quences be what they may"
Ex-Governor Prescott was believed
10 havo tho best prospect of gotting tho Re.
publican nomination to Congress in the First
District of New Hampshire. But whom the
convention met he fell far short of majority,
and Martin A. Haynes was made the nominee.
He has been printer and newspaper pub.
Usher and a member OF the Legislature. Ho
served on the stan OF Mr.. Prescott while that
gentleman was Governor OF the State.
The Colorado Republican papers gener-
ally support tho candidates nominated by the
party's State Convention, but some of them
In which they were chosen. The ticket is said
to be the product OF machine influences, and
not the free choice of the party. These dis
sensons in a State so evenly balanced as Colo
RADIO may result seriously. A loss OF 1,500
votes would defeat the Republicans.
The campaign in Virginia has degener-
ated mainly Into one OF slander and vltupe ra-
Sn The oSs stHIn,Sa XIX ga ddoPpe
canvass of legitimate argument upon facts
and policies. 1t is doubtful, however, II its
has been stirred up to be allayed at this stage
OF the campaign. The Staunton paper ap-
pears to be about the only paper IN the State
that has not lost Its head.
Senator Vest in his speech at Boonville,
Mo-, last week became eloquent over the
wrongs of the tobacco. growers. That they
should be compelled to pay "A tax he thought
prohibition of the liquor trafllc should be pro.
posed IN "this nineteenth century in the face
Of Constitutional freedom and under the pgis
OF n Constitution which says tho poorest man
shall be protected under equal rights with
the richest and greatest" he appeared to re.
posed prohibition because 'it was the twin
brother or the twin sister OF woman's rights
and woman suffrage, which he considered an
abomination. The Republican party having
injected 100000 negro voters into tho voting
population, proposes to inject tho votes OF
100000 negro women Infinitely more igno.
rant than the men.
