Perkins, OF Kansas, who

republicans in good shape ell al ~
and that the campaign is being : q,
gorOusly and intelligently pushe
and that he has not the slightest
doubt of the election of Harrison and
Reid by q larger electoral vote than
that cast for Harrison and Morton.
or his own State Mr.. Perkins says:
1--WE have hot fight on our hands,
with the democratic party swallowed
up by the sO-called peoples party,
but you may put 1t down rs certain
that we are going to redeem Kansas
this year. The campaign has pro.
crossed far enough to make it abso.
lu ely certain that the republican
State ticket and at least five Con.
grsssmen will be elected, and before
November we expect to be certain of
the rest of the Congressman aud are
of electoral ticket. The prosperity of
the farmers OF our State is leaving the
demsgogues, whose stock in trade is

Ii the cholera gets in the United
States it will not be because .of any
lack of efforS on the part of the Mar
inc Hospital Service to keep 1t out, al
though 1t is absolutely necessary that
the various State and city health
authorities should intelligently CO.
operate with this bureau to make the
quarantine actually preventive. The
Marine Hospital Service, which IL
bureau OF the Treasury department,
has control of the Congressional APP
propris ton known rs the epidemic
iund, which will be used to keep out
this dreaded disease. Collectors of
customs at all ports oi entry will act
in conjunction with the Marine Hos
pital Service, and while there may be
isolated cases of the cholera which
will evade the vigilance OF the qua
rantine authorities aud get in to some
of our sea board cities, il is believed
that the precautions taken will make
IL impossible tor IL 70 e3ome epide-
mic.
A local democrat of prominence
says that Whitney told him that Mr..
Cleveland would try in his letter of
acceptance to tone down the effect of
the plain spoken tree trade plank in
the national platform, which is doing

It IL too late for any toDing down
process, and nothing that Mr. Cleves
land and can say In his letter can
cnsUge the issue OF this campaign
protection vs. free trade.
Much regret Is expressed here at
the announcement that Senator
Dawes, OF Massachusetts, whose
term expires March 4, 1898, will not
be- q candidate for reelection, Mr..
Dawes has been one Of the wheel
horses of the republican party for so
many years that his absence cannot
fail TO be felt; but there is consola-
ton in the fact that Massachusetts
has many able republicans and that
his successor is certain TO be good
man.
The most trOu ,esOme problem that
the citizens committee III charge of
the G. A. r. encampment had to deal
which has been satisfactorily solved.
That was to arranged for u plentiful
supply of good wholesome food, well
cooked, and at q reasonable price, in
close proximity to the barracks in
which free sleeping Accommodations
will be furnished all veterans who do
not engage their own quarters. A
contract has been made with a caterer
who has had wide experience in feed
ing large crowds by which be agrees
to furnish these of the visitors who
desire regular meals with three good
meals for ST. per day, and to supply
at all times during the night or day
cold lunches with hot coffee and tea
and milk at the usual city prices.
The barracks have been named, those
on the monument lot Alger, In honor
of General Alger, and those in GAR
field park, Farragut, after the gallant
old Admiral, long since gone where
all good sailors GO.
The addresses of sixteen of the sur
vivIng war governors have been cb'
tanned by the committee and this
week invitations to attend the en-
csmpment as special guests of honor
of the committee will be forwarded
to each of them 1t is hoped that all
of, them may be able to attend, IS 1t
is the purpose of the committee to
make their reunion q memorable oc-
casion.
