conditions, have been imported and

has SO fostered the Canadian Pacific that
| it has built up this great traffic and owns
a steamship line, trading with Japan

SpeepaE Telegram 10 the Register.
MARIETTA, o., July 1.-Republican
circles here are all torn up to-day by
the appointment Of Friend H. Harding,
a colored barber, to be deputy inspector

Harding, though an applicant for the
position was not thought 10 be in the

white Republicans, among whom were
several old soldiers, for negro who has
really no qualifications for the position

lican to-day stated that he would not

To-day's appointment means several
hundred votes 20 the Democratic tidket.
