Republican Candidates.

Commencing with this week the
campaign among the Republicans will
begin in earnest. Up to date it has
been one of speculation and an
nouncement. Now, however, something
definite has to be done in the way OF
having wires. lest combinations come
up unforeseen. The leaders have GER
tain course mapped out which must
be adhered TO, and from the way mat
tiers look right now the states smade
are liable 10 be broken unless heroic
measures are taken.
OF course. the anti-TTibune gang
have matters all their own way. That
point is settled. But the ictory won,
the division OF the spoils follows, and
here is the rock on which the leglons
are liable TO split and go to pieces.
Now that the rule or ruin crowd
have been disposed of successfully,
McCallum and his crowd are looking
around to see who shall be rewarded
with the plums Of nomination. There
ana so many who want to sacrifice
themselves on the altar of their coun-
try that it is going to be a difficult
task to designate who shall be the ones
TO carry the honors of the party in the
Nght. ,.e.. :.
takes money TO run d campaign with
the present generals. AS a result the
man who attempts to make a rush for
Office on the Republican ticket without
money will have two alternatives pre-
sSssrted: Either withdraw or mortgage
80 house and lot.
Hff the candidates could be classified
as to good intentions all the av-
enues of Hades could be paved in
thirty days; they are SO plentiful. And
such a lot they are. too. Take the
senate. for instance. There is j.. j.
Critchlow. OF all the candidates he is
doubtless the best one in sight. He
doesn't get out. however, and paint
the city red and whoop it up all along
the line Whoever heard of anyone
wearing a suit of clothes bought by
Critchlow? Whoever saw an order for
a new hat signed by Critchlow? Who
can remember the time when Critch-
low lined the boys up against the bar
and ordered the miXOlogist to I'LL EN-
ueo again." What man can vouch for
nina by displaying a check bearing his
autograph? Consequently, Critchlow
is not in it,
Hiram Z. Booth is another candi-
date, but Hiram has been there be-
fore and Hiram's record is not as bril-
liant as it ought to have been. In fact
Hiram is generally referred to as a
sort of second cousin to the animal
ridden by BALKAN. And in addition to
all this Hiram hasn't a large bari to
open.
Sep Sears is all right He will be
heard from in the right way when the
time comes. Sep viii get the nominal
ton if he wants it, which is doubtful.
Harry Haines. down at Murray,
would like to run, but this is an off
wear with him. The State road matter
viii not down. although he declares
there is nothing in it. OF course, moth
ing has been proven against him, but
then that doesn't matter, the talk
would go on just the same and there
is limit to Republican forbearance,
.ee peciaily as regards those who live
IN the country and have taxes to pay
and 1t is those who have the votes.
Harry has all the qualifications out
side this one defect, but in this in
stance, it is fatal.
Ben Harmon, OF Mill Creek, will be
farmers candidate and
may stand show for a
nomination He is quite popular man
in his own neighborhood, although
the crowd in this city do not know
him very we'll Still for the sake of
pacifying the grangers he may be toll

no particular ability, still ne will serve
as he can be talked to and that is
what the gang requires of its men.

person Of Oscar Youngoerg. The only
political disability ne has IS that he
