POLITICAL GOSSIP.

That faction OF the Republican party in
Virginia favorable To the nomination of 4
Republican State ticket ana tire perpetIa-
tion of the organization in the State, in,
tends to put Mr.. Hanna, as chairman of the
national comnittue, Oh record either for or
against such a. ticket.
Then haslongl@ee d difference of opinion
among the Repsihlicans of Virginia as to
the advisabilty of putting ticket UP this
year The State couafi:tee, when it met q
nicotl ago, deposed Col. Lamb, put Hon.
Park Agnew in his place as State chairman
aud decided not to nominate, ticket.
This action was taken by the majority OF
II committee nominated by Federal office
holders.
Then Senator Hauna, as chairman OF
the national cGruuittee, wrote a letter
20 Mr.. Agnew indo1sing The action taken,
saying that inasIGuci, IS there was moth
ing at stake in the State this year, the
committee had act ed wisely in not making
a fight. Now, Got Lambs faction iu-
tends TO nominate a ticket, and call upon
Chairman Hanna TO express an opinion on
she matter.
If the chairman of the national COM
lnittee believes in laying down before il
gun l. fired and letting the party orgaDiza-
lion brcome disrupted, the old-time Re-
punlicars OF Virginia think the country
should know it. Mr.. Hanna can hardly

Boise, left field; Arthur Ward, center
field; John Olson, right field; and
'Reddy' - short stop. From the begin.

remained so to the end; allowing but
one man to reach third base. The game
was but five innings, and the score stood

1t was pretty game although the
wind greatly interfered. Both sides
made some very nice plays. but the

The Pioneer is surprised to know that
Stewart, OF the Farmer at Mayville,
would seek to lower himself still further
in the estimation of the citizens of Hope,
by wrongfully abusing two of our oldest
and most respected business men,
Frank Hill and H. H. Wasem. In the
first place, it is none of Mayville's busi-
ness what Hope people say about Port.
land, and in the second place, Stewart
is barking up the wrong tree, and he
may be called upon to back it up. It is
wrong for Stewart to speak of Mr.. Hill
in this way:
I'VE don't forget fee taken, (stolen J
at Hills pasture, one 18th OF July, nor
some excess livery charges in Hope in
the past, etc.
The writer does not believe that Mr..
Hill ever stole penny from any man.
AS for jumping onto Mr.. Wascm, the
trouble seems to be that Stewart tried
to force his Mayville paper onto Mr..
Wasem by sending it voluntarily, as he
did to hundreds of others, but Wasem
didn't and wouldn't have it. Perhaps
Mr.. Hill was the same way.
He tries to abuse The Pioneer, but we
consider the crooked little man (?) from
Canada 80 small, that we pass him by
without notice.
Every man in Hope and vicinity.
knows why he is hot at The Pioneer, and
at Hope. It is because he couldn't make
a living in the town, trying to run four
or five business houses among them
The Pioneer.
We trust that Stewart will pardon US
for taking any notice of bis hog wash
school boy-rot. But lay The Pioneer to
one side; it is dirty low down trick to
accuse Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Wasem as he
does, when he is wholly in the wrong
and does it simply as we have heard it
remarked on the street, because he is
hot at the gentlemen, and the whole
town.
