HoT WEATHER.-The weather dur
ing the past forty-eight hours has been
oppressively warm. The mercury in
the thermometer has remained in the
nineties, and although there has been
a breeze from the northwest it has not
been of a cooling nature. Last night
many found it almost impossible to
sleep, so intense was the heat. To-day
the temperature has been even higher

Harrison and the Candidacy,

In answering the question, What
effect has Harrison's withdrawal on
NcKinley's chauoes?" asked by an
eastern paper, the ST. Louis Globe Dem
ocrat saws it will have no effect. Harri-
sun has not withdrawn. The stories
that he has withdrawn or is about to
withdraw, may safely be disregarded.
He is as much in the race now as he has
been since March 3, 1898, and in all
probability lie will stay until the end.
That is to say, he wants the nomination,
and he will accept it il even the barest
sort OF a majority of the National Con-
vention offers it to him. The mysterious
airs and mock impressiveness OF MAJ.
This or Hon. That, who have talked, or
who pretend to have talked, with Harri-
son on this matter, do not alter public
opinion on this point in the slightest de-
gree.
Harrison does not hold the first place
nor the second i'll the race. II the Con-
yention were held to-day either Reed or
Mckinley would lead on the first ballot,
but neither would be far enough aheadto
carry off the prize on that ballot. Harri'
son probably would be third, although
Allison seems to be pulling up" Har'
rison's only chance for the nomination, so
far as the public is able to judge, is in the
event of deadlock between the leaders,
Reed and Mckinley, with their minor
aspirants, Harrison, Allison, Morton
and the rest, holding the balance. This
is how the situation looks now, but, O
course, it may be changed materially
before the Convention. If a break should
be made from one or both of the leader:
Harrison has as good a chance as any
other aspirant to capture the candidacy
Undoubtedly square, honest declara
tion by Harrison that he would accept
the nomination if it were offered by thu
Convention would help him. Nobody
supposes he is actively seeking it, or tina
he will engage in any undignifed scram
BILE for it, but everybody believes h
wants it, and candid acknowledgment
of this fact would raise up new friend
for him. The people like franknes
among men holding or desiring publ
station. Office seeking is creditable
pursued in a manly. open way. The dc
sire to gain the Presidency. even by on
who has already held it. is a praise
worthy ambition. Some of the most i
lustrious men of the country spent
dozen or score of years in seeking il
They told their felow-citzens that the

ElectiOneering Ladies'.

Lady canvassers have some curious eX-
periences. At this present election there
are more of them in the field than ever.
Canvassing is almost as popular as slum-
ming was some years ago with metro
politan ladies. They go to their work in
their bravest attire. Mr.. Thorpe, in his
Middle Temple Table Talk" tells a
good story OF a previous election. Lord
Rivulet was the candidate, and the charm
ing partner of his Joys and sorrows was
doing her best to win his election. Dur
ing her canvass she tackled a sturdy
working man who " as smoking short
clay pipe, and wearing a Kerr Hardie
cloth cap. Won't you vote for Lord
Rivulet ?" "Noa, woant, vote for Lord
Rafflet," was the brusque reply; "hes
one of them chaps as doan't get up till 2
O'Clock, by which time I've done half a
days work; noa, III not vote for that
kind of man" Oh, but you are quite mis-.
taken, assure you; know that Lord
Rivulet gets up quite early!' GLOW do
you know that 7" Because I'm his wife. "
Taking his pipe from his mouth, and
doffing the Kerr Hardie cap, the out
spoken voter said, "well, ma am, if was
Lord Raff1et doant think should get

succeeded in getting the watch from his
possession, and having returned it to the

their attention to the man. He was
punched and pummelled on all sides, and
eventually thrown into The horse trough

old Daniel Lambert, sire Of IS in the ESQ
list: he by Ethan Allen, by Black Hawk, by
sherman, by Oil Justin Morgan, the founder
of the Morgan family. Thornton horse dam,
Lady LighttoOt, was owned at the Bates
Farm. near Boston. She once won $1,000 in
an eighteen mile race, which she trotted in 81
minutes. She was n Sorrel or light chestnut
and was conceded by all who knew her to be
both trotter and re adster of superior last
ing qualities.
Harry's dam was by the Bean or Crane
horse, graud-dam by the Ford horse, he by
Bald win horse, his dam by Crown Prince, by
Sherman. The Crane horse was also by
sherman.
Harry has never been trained, but is a nat
ural trotter and very superior roadster. He
took first premium a Caledonia County Fair
i'll 1SSS-S9. His superior reading ability and
unequallcd endurance combined with his
beauty of form and stylish carriage have
made him noted. His yearly appearance at
the fairs was - noticeable through his UNI
rivaled appearance and consecutive prize
winning that he was considered one of the
rcgu?r attractions, and the remark has been
frequently made that the { aledoni County
Fair would be very incomplete without his
presence.
Harry is in high condition this spring and
was never more vigorous in his life and it is
the last chance of securing the old Sherman
