In this connection we place the re-
port Of all interview with Mr..

"Mr. Cravens remains there very
actively at work in our behalf and
has rendered very effective aud
valuable services for US, by himself
and party friends through his in
iiuence, and, should we succeed in
getting this bill great credit should
be given Mr.. Cravens.
II would not forget to mention the

A Deserved Compliment.

We clip the following from the
Sun Of last week. IL lie . deserved
compliment. The people OF Salins
should feel kindly toward Mr.. An
derson for his industry in reporting
for the press:
John F.. Anderson is the associate
press reporter at SSlina. Since his
appointment FIVE months ago In
sending forth reports Of occurrences
here he has performed . good WORK,
been very assiduous and active In
the matter. This much Is In justice
TO Mr.. Anderson, for when Q gentle
man calls in question his services In
this eonHectiou injustice 10 dsDe
him. The job IL q thankless one,
not cent remuneration. Some men
when appointed TO places Of honors
without pay are very enthusiastic at
the start, but their great interest
soon peters out ut their fingers ends.
Net % Mr.. Anderson In this case.
He asks only approval for his fair
york"
