Notes.
Fits objections to instructions
cvaporated by the time Holton's case
was reached.
Brer French's scheme to head it of
with a delegation of young men in
stead Of ''old FOUNDERS didn't work.
1t was too diaphanous.
Chas. Miner returned Friday from
Grand Rapids, Mich, with the stal
lion George st. Clair, which he bought
there, at figure which the Democrat
of that city says is understood to have
been in the neigbborhood OF 5000. The
horse, which has attracted much at
tenion at Mr.. Miners stables, is un
doubtedly the speediest ever seen in
this place, with a pacing record of
210l and :2:l0a4 on half mile track
besides a trotting record of 2:15. On
~ two other horses in the country
earned as much as he did last year: he
took eight races in succession, all of

believed to be the best horse that

Fits grins this morning like the
urchin that was given third of the
cake after being soundly whipped. He

IT is a bit amusing now TO hear local
who are too candid to
ieny Mckinley's free silver record. ex
use themselves for his support by ]
aging they believe he has reputcd
md changed his mind Just as Carlisle
las. When so honorable and true
nan as Maj. Mckinley says he has
hanged his views, he will be entitled
q belief. But as he has never said
nything Of the kind yet, nor given
he remotest hint Of it, the credulity Of

Mr.. Harris in his letter for McKin-

The Republicans party would nom h

Cleveland administration for its
