made deal.sswith the Populites,
said a prominent Republican, enc Of
the s'immaculate and kid-gIoved,"
to-day. 81 really don't know
whether they have or not, but ! hope
not, because believe we can win in
a straight race"
.sIt matters little" said Demo-
Graf a few minutes later. "Buchanan's
vote will be small at best, and the
margin for Turney, to the best OF my
knowledge, which was gathered
from letters received by the Execu-
tive and Campaign Committees, and
the Republicans will lose ~ much
by the prohibition vote as wei|.'
But those Republicans who were
steering the scheme to have the Re
publicans and Populites unite in sup
porting an independent tieketin each
county are still steering the same
scheme. And among them there
was considerable discussion OF the
Banners publication of yesterday
and when the Banner reporter hove
in sight they became CLAIMS. Still,
they leaked little, and that little
ran to the effect that the bright and
particular thought OF the Republi-
cans was. to make John p. Buchanan
"a United States Senator, which
means, OF course, that Winssead is to
be Governor. 1t may sound strange
to hear the name John p. Buchanan
and the United States Senate men
toned in the same breath. The Re
publicans say many strange things.

Judging from what Squire j. L.
Southall, of the bloody Fourth said
to reporter yesterday, there are
warlike preparations going on at his
house. He borrowed a copy OF the

good Democratic neighbors, and
learned how a move was on foot Q
change him over to the right way OF
voting. He is fixing now to plant a
Calling gun at his front gale to shoo'

come to sit up with him. Capt
