Selecting National Delegates.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.

An attempt will no doubt be made at the
republican state convention to have a reso-
luton adopted indorsng the plan of select
ing national delegates. proposed by n. b.
Scott of West Virginia, and explained and
advocated in the letter sent out recently
by Mr.. Manley of Maine, making the num-
Der of delegates to which a state is entitled
depend in some degree upon the number of
republican votes 1t casts, instead of solely
upon the number of representatives in Con-
gress. as now. 1t would, of course, cut off
large part of the strength of ex-President
Harrison in the southern states. This the
Ohio friends Of Gov. Mckinley would like
to see done.
The matter will come up for discussion
at the national convention of republican
clubs at Denver next month. Ohio is en-
titled to ninety delegates in that conven-
ticn. and arrangements have just been
made with the railways to go in a body
and in great style.
Gov. Mckinley is now making another
investigation of one of the state institu-
tions. This time 1t is the state prison-an
institution that has given a great deal
of trouble all through his administra ton
and facts have been developed that will
probably make a reorganization necessary
The trouble seems to be that the man
selected by the governor to be warden has
no tact in dealing with men, and is inordi-
Eately jealous of his official prerogatives
The result has been continual friction in
the management and complaint from those

placed by either a bicycle, walking or pole
vaulting event. 1t is not yet known which
one OF these the Englishmen have selected
as the ninth event.
The scoring abroad corresponds to the
method formerly in use in our intercollegi-
ate games, namely: The college winning the
most first prizes being the victor. There
fore, Yale must win flve events out of the
nine to conquer oxford. Only two repre-
each university. They are called the first
and second string. Each university de-
clares its best man the first string"
Another popularity Of English running Is
that the lap races are run with the right
hand to the pole, instead of the left, as in
this country. Their hurdle races, too, are
run on turf, instead of on a cinder track,
as with US We throw the hammer from q
circle seven feet in diameter, whereas they
allow thirty-foot run. Otherwise the
methods are the same.
The makeup of the Yale team thus far
decided upon is as follows:
One-hundred-yard run-E. H. Cady, '95 s.,
first string; G. F. Sanford, L. s., second
string.
ur-hundred-and-forty-y dash-G. r.

Epedemic of Typhoid Fever

The Charlotte News says that re-
ports from all quarters show that ty-
phoid fever is raging in most
peculiar manner this year. 1t seems
to show no discrimination against
climate or height above sea level
For instance Taylorsville, N. c.,
mountain town at the foot of the
Blue Ridge, is seriously stricken with
the disease. 1t has been so common
there as to almost paralyze business.
Another place is Georgeville, Cabar'
rus County, N. c. There the fever is
raging again as it did last year. The
river and a big creek pass close by
this place, and that was always sup
posed to be the cause Of sickness
But this year it has been no worse
than the disease has been in TayIors-
vile, which town has perfect natural
sanitation. Men who have made a
study of the disease attribute the
extraordinary amount of typhoid
germs to the singularly mild winter
which prevailed in this section last
season.
The fever is also reported to be il
several towns in South Carolina.

the waltz does not touch the same

With one partner it is soft, insidious

languorous movement; !; with the

jars the brain into delicious, dreamy
forgetfulness !; while the fourth cava-
Iier, with a heroic tread, bears you
away with strong and vigorous rhythm
into still another world. The lights
of this go out, you lose consciousness
but you feel no dread as you lie with

negroes to "conjure" their enc.

Our Executive Anarchist.

In certain sense Governor Till

in America. He would not ally him
self with body of madmen or affiliate
with bomb throwers or assassins, but
his il|timed and Incorporate addresses
are calculated to foster strife and
intensity the bitterness among the
political factions of South Carolina.
He has given expression to public
utterances in his debate with Senator
Butler that would shame Dennis
Kearney or the most blatant and
ignorant Tammany politician. LIE

President Cleveland aud Congress
that are seditious and unreasonable,
ard has on every occasion in which
be appears on the stump displayed
such revolutionary spirit that no State

nit to except South Carolina and
her sons. Language such as he
adopts and capable Of being construed
and applied as he intends is as dan
gerous and as wanton as the express
sion of Most, Schwab and the Cold

the South is there such chief execu-

the exception of Colorado and Kan

tained sovereignty, but they have
to passively submit to the insults
visited on them through the stubborn
ness and the egregious vanity Of
Governor Tillman. All his promi-
nent public acts have subjected him
to derision and contempt. Els open
defiance of the mandates of the
Supreme Court for his interference
with the railroads, his incorporate
zeal in the maintenance of State dis
pensaries, his employment of tramps
and vagrants for constables to apprise
and harass his people and his cruel
and wanton persecution of his citizens
at Darlington, stamp him as man
wholly unfit to administer the affairs
