Social and Personal


RIVERSIDE, June 25.-There is
trouble among the Republicans of Riv-
erside.N In the last county convention
the masses of the party quietly went to
work and completely turned down the

the party for the last fifteen or twenty

made blue. There were just thirteen
persons all told at the meeting, and Boss
w. U. Phelps thought it best to adjourn
for larger meeting, and committee
on organization was appointed, all of
whom are avowedly with the old ring
