PREPARING FOR THE FRAY.
Republicans BuckIiug ON Their Armor For the
Battle Next saturday.

Battle Next saturday.
The spontaneous enthusiasm with which
Repu blicans are preparing TO line up
against the enemy compared with the
puDy. sickly effort the populists are max
lug, is the best possible Indication OF the
result OF the coming campaign.
Night before last the Populists held
their rinlaries in all the wards aud there
was a sickly indifference noted as regards
to everything but the small Jobs that were
being put up by n small Co erie OF schem-
ers Who are DESTROYS of holding their place
AZ the pie counter. The rank and file
didn't care tde value OF "a brass pin TO 20
To the primary polls or who the result
might benefit. AS a consequences every
candidate before the Pop convention, from
the city, are delegates To that convention
and il might be said with almost equal
truth that every delegate is a candidate
Nothing seemei TO animate the remuanJ
of "A once vast organized disqualification
but the hope of getting Ufhce either AS
principal, deputy, assistant or bottle
washer
1t is different with the Republicans ac-
cording TO every present manifestation.
They are full of zeal, but not particularly
zeal TO get office or crumbs from the afors-
said pie counter. The outlook for glo-
rIOus victory. not for themselves but for
their party Bnimates them.
Last night the scene on North Main
street reminded Que of the glorious days
wheH the Republican star hung high aud
bright in the armament. They marshaled
their forces wit n MS much enthusiasm A.
if they had never known defeat. All the
Old wheel horses were there of yoTe,
with but few exceptions. They Were
repairing for the ballot for delegates to-
morrow There is fight on hand, but il
Is fight without enmity. Every candi-
date has friends and their friends are
sticking 10 them like fiy-paper. They are
as honest and sincere rs they are en-
thusiastic in that friendship. But not
withstandiug all this, the aggregate Is for
the Repub lican party, and II does not
make any di ference what the result OF to-
nights ballotiug may be the aggregate
viii still De for the Republican party. An
individual hero in politics - like pass
ing shadow with Republicans aud when
the shadow j. passed away aud disposed
OF they will have something 10 worship
principles.
Every ward will be closely contested.
The best fighters at the polls and 10 eau
cusssare not monopOl.zsd toy any one c4nd-
date. There seems to be an equal CIs;ribu-
ton of warl talent and the contest will be
interesting from the start TO the finish. The
result of all this zeal. divided as il is Al
most equally. vii, be a county ticket that
will be irresistible IN the coming cam
