news today from Admiral Dewey 70
the president, and particularly to Sec
retaTy Long and the naval officers who
are watching the admiral's movements
with 30 much interest. While no APP

ly that they have made no demonstra-
tion seems to disprove thoroughly the
published reports that they had al
ready entered Manila and had begun q
career OF bloodshed and rapine.

meeting was held IN the new opera
house, and was addressed by John T,
McGraw, who talked about everything
but the questions at issue In the cam

criticized bitterly the course OF every
man who Is opposed TO his election and
seemed to think that the people Of his
county should support him and his po-
iItlcal fallncles, simply out OF local
pride. The Republicans believe in the
kind OF local pride that makes work for
those who want labor, and builds up the
business interests Of the country.

100000 votes and each claims that his

one to receive over 100000 votes. The
