On Wednesday next the Republican
state convention will te held in Music
hall, and ID ere seems 10 be no dou BIT
that the ticket nominated will be as fol-
lows: tor governor. Elisha Dyer of
Providence: lieutenant governor. Will
liam Gregory If North Kingstown; secre-
tary of state, Charles 4. Bennett of
PROV idence; attorney general, Willard Is.
Tanner, of Providence; general treasu
rer, Walter A. head Of Glocester.
There is still some talk TO the effect that
MIR. T.. Frsd Crawford of Central Falls
will make an attempt to carry bis claim
20 the candidacy for tha stats treasurer
ship into tho convention. but this is
doubtful, for even if he should IL would
avail him nothing.
There is every reason 20 anticipate
therefore that ths Republican state con-
vention will be thoroughly harmonious,
and there is no doubt that the platform
10 be adopted will Ds very strong one.
It Is understood that among its leading
features, in addition TO the strongest kind
of a sound money plank, will be hearty
epdoi s,ment OF President MckiDley's
administration, more particularly in re-
relations with Spain have occupied tbs
attention 5f the entire country. The draft
Of the revised constitution of tho state
will also receive consideration and will
te warmly endorsed by the convention. in
consistency with the Republicans in the
General Assembly who voted TO submit 1t
to the people. 1t is also probable that
some reference will be- made to the new
State House question.
With the Assem- bly, ticket nominated by
the Republicans in Providence and the
re ports already received from the country
towns the outlook for Republican success
is very bright Indeed, and there appsars
AsNtt ~ ar In ts.t1 s.f
unprejudiced men that the next General
Assembly will Ie-elect Hon. Nelson W.
Aldrich to the United States Senate. One
interesting feature abont the next Levis-
lature will be in connection with the
ppeakership. The elevation of Hon. j.
Edward Studlsy to the upper branch leave
the position open, and there Is proba-
bility that IL NAV be- filled by htpresen-
tstive Frank +. Holden. of woonsccket.
provided, of course, that the gentleman
Is reelected on April &, next.
The maKs.up Of tire Democratic as
bly, ticket in this city is yet uncsr-
tain. There is, however, n little talk
about the senatorship the names Of Hoo.
Augustus b. Miller and Of Hon. Charles
Il. German being ment oned. the prefer
encs appearing to te given to Mr.. Miller.
From the country towns very little is
learned abou 1.-THE - ASSEM- bly, ticket, but this
IL not regarded with much interest, ow-
ing 10 tho fact that there is hardly
more than two or three towns which are
likely to give Democratic victories.
One noticeable feature Of this year s
campaigu is the fact that while the total
vote of the city CT Providence is ~. 1872. or
over 1000 less than last year, resrly all
the towns In the state show gains over
last years vots. For Instance Westerly
has an increase Of l4n. while many other
towns are running from ID to 80 ahead
of last year. OF course. these are very
large registry votes but that makes no
difference whatever In a state election.

possession Of a monstrosity, that has all
most the appearance of a demon and as
black as Aunt Hanndh's pot 1t is his pet
dog, and that which is remarkable about
him Is that he can sing.
valdosta Times: Mr.. A. G. Holt brought
a curiosity to the Times Office Friday in
the shape of a snake. 1t was not a snake,
however, but a squash, grown in his gar
den. 1t was four feet long
and was not more than an
inch in diameter at the largest
point. 1t looked like a big green snake
and one end of 1t was shaped much like a
snakes head. Mr.. Holt says he has sew
eral others like it in his garden.
Hawkinsville: S. N. Lufy of Frazier
rode a mule to town a few days ago that
measured only three feet and ten inches
in hight, and five feet and eleven inch
es from the top of head to root of tail
and weighed only $50 pounds. Mr. Lufy
weighs 1865 pounds and said that he had
ridden the mule all the day before and
all that morning driving cows, and that
1t did not seem to worry 1t more than it
did the larger mules.

Brocksville correspondence of Jackson
vile Times-Union, Aug. p: William Hope,
the first white man with a family TO locate
permanently in fernando county. died
Yesterday a the old family residence. Two
miles south of town. Uncle Billy" as Re
was famlliarly known, was advanced in
age, having reached the period of 50 years,
and for some years had been in failing
health and on the decline and a general
breaking down of vital powers on account
OF extreme old age was the cause Of his
demise. William Hope was born Feb 1G.
lSJ6, in Liberty county, Georgia. He was
of German extraction his father having
emigrated to this country and settled in
Georgia. Mr. Hope married young in lIfe.
while he was yet a citizen of Georgia and
came to the territory of Florida while in
his minority. He first stopped at Jackson
vile, which was then bun q hamlet, and
reached by crossing the creek on a pole
bridge, and the river was crossed by fiat
boats propelled by oars, and then he went
10 Black creek, where he remained bur a
short time and thence to NewnansVille,
in Alauchua county. At that time an the
peninsula to the HnlsDoro river was in
Alachua county. He remained at New
Evansville but a short time, and moved 10
q home which he settled on the west
side Of Paines Prairie, all west of him and
to the Gulf and Tampa being an unbroken
wilderness. Being aggressive in his dispo-
sitiou and ambitious to cover a large do
main with his ownership, he organized a
company of venturesome spirits and trav-
eled through the forests in search of a
land where they would be willing to i've
their lives In contentment, and be assured
of a competence. one evening they built
their camp fires in the edge of CnOocachat-
tee prairie, and, being satisfied that they
had found the country they were seeking,
determined to remain. The location was
made in 1913. Clearing lands, undergoing
privations fighting Indians, and accumu-
lating property were a pleasure to Mr..
Hope, for he was ambitious and he bent
every energy to accomplish his purpose.
He amassed what was considered at that
time a large fortune, which he was ce-
prived of, and the freeze of a few years
back cut off his competency.
