AIIttIe Horse Talk.

"Snip" Donovan, who trained the
once mighty Tenny, was at the Nash
Vile races last week, and on Monday
shipped 10 New York from Fairview,
Silas, by imported Mr.. Pickwick-Mari-
tina, and Mixing, by imported FeChter-
ThOra. Donovan will Immediately
commence TO galiop them aud get them
Into racing form. Mixing was the first
foal OF Thora TO race, he having run
three or four races for the Campbell 4
HankinS cOnfederaCy when the stable
was a power in the west. Hawkins
bought Viking at Mr.. Reeds stable in
1857, but some differences resulted In
the IT turn of the colt TO Mr.. Reed after
an accident had happened him. He
was phenOminally fast, and the owner
OF Fairyjew always proclaimed him a
stake horse. Silas has done but little
on the turf, but in private he showed
fast. He is a handsome, gentlemanly
follow, and he should yet be returned
q good winner.
JOhuny Campbell watched Longstreet
and RoSeIand work the other morning
and laughingly said TO Mr.. Dwyer: II

OLEyELAND's STRENGTH
is Greater Now Than in 1888, Says Pres
ident Anderson.

New YORK, May 12.-Lawyer E.
Euery Anderson, President Of the Re-
form Club, and a member of the Demo
cratic Provisional State Committee
(anti-Hill) is quoted as follows; "We
who are in the midst Of the political
movement of this State know that Mr..
Cleveland is vastly stronger than he
was in 1883. We know that since that
time the people of this State have been
Weakened so as to understand correctly
the oppressive effects of the tariff. We
know that many Republican voter:
have been driven out Of the party by
their disapprOval of the Mckinley bill,
and we know that the threat OF the
passage of the force bill has deter
mined large number of independent
voters to act with the Democratic
party, if its nomination meets with
their approval"
Mr.. Anderson was particular in en-
phasizing the last sentence as above
quoted. He concluded by saying THE
classes of voters whom referred to will
reach 80, 600 in this State. This ssser-
tion is not a guess but is based on the
personal experience of those who are
active in our movement, derived from
their constant intercourse with the
voters themselves and from an enormou;
correspondence carried on for many
months with voters residing in every
county in the State.
