 dence repOsed in Murray McInernay

 The appointment of Sam F. Webb,

 A recent telegram from Washing
 ton says that President Cleveland is
 talking of going fishing. During his absence it' is said that his bouncing" machine will be thor oughly overhauled and greased, l several new cogs will be added to it to increase its capacity, and on his return it will be set in motion up to | its fullest capacity.

 Millionaire Mackay and his two physicians seem to place different | estimates on the services of the lat ter for their skill in treating the wounds made by a would-be assas- sin, and in restoring him to good health again.

 There are very few mines in Ari- zona, For in any other country, that are rich enough to maintain corps of champagne drinking, high living, non producers.

 The convention of republic an league clubs expressed the senti- ments of this paper in the adoption of the following: Whereas, the democratic party for the first time in thirty-two years having succeeded to power in both the executive and f, legislative departments of the gov emment, We now direct attention to the fact that it should either give : the people fair trial of the poli- f ties advocated in its national plat ' form, or admit that it has gained I by gross misrepresenta- f lions and hypocricy." f
