letter from friend at Columbus, Ohio,
and Republican, too, stating that the
g. o. p. in the Buckeye state is in hor-

Ohio this year for the Republicans, as
he considers that if he succeeds he will
be the next Republican nominee for the
presidency. Therefore he is remaining
at home, bossing the job. Between the
various factions of the party a beautiful
internecine war is waging. The anti

DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.
Hon. George W. Merrill, OF this city,
addressed meeting of the citizens of
Santa Paula, on Saturday night. The
large hall at that place was full, and the
audience. which was composed of all
parties, seemed to be very much i'm
pressed with the arguments presented.
Mr.. Shepherd, of Ventura, also ad-
dressed the audience on the issues of
the campaign. General Merrill's speech
occupied something like an hour and a
half, and the audience seemed to be
in most perfect sympathy with him, not
one leaving the house during the time.
The general had an opportunity to ad-
dress the old soldiers at that place, as
there is Grand Army post located
there.
Altogether the meeting at Santa Paula
was one of the most important and in
teresting of the campaign.
