could hold up an argument against
this combination of Democracy As
their caucus draws near, We expect to
catch more of the drift. for at this time
there is always more or less activity
displayed aud few old sores are
always held over from year to year to
be healed. There never We're offices
enough. This seems to he one of the
misfortuucs of the Democratic party,
and as general thing the nomination
is one of the things that interests the
voters the most, as nomination Is
almost equal to an election; therefore
the fight at the caucus is accounted
for The Democratic voters in the
Ward still hope to see W. j. Bryan
nominated and elected i'll 1900, and the
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
How soon they forget the depressed
condition the Democratic administra-
ton left them i'll, only two years ago
Being now surrounded with prosper
ity. still they are not contented.
Good Judgment should convince
most any one according to the show
ing the last Democratic administration
made. that this country never wants To
have that repeated again. The Demo
cratic party has not as much chance to
elect W. j Bryan in 1900 "a it had i'll
1896 He is now back number and
IL almost forgotten.

The Lucas Grove ON Swan
Creek, between Main and Franklin
streets, has got to be quite II summer
resort for some Of our First Waders,
where they assemble evenings to have
n little time to themselves. just how
long these orgies will he allowed To
continue, it il hard to tell, but We pre-
sume there will soon be stop put to
them. as our worthy policeman has
| been given timely tip and no doubt
will look after this little assembly
The hot nights and mosquitoes have

We have heard SO much and have seen
SO much published concerning the ith
| New Jersey Regt TINT we think ii IL
not of out place to say word or two
concerning them. In our opinion, the
4th will be kept intact and their DIES
tinatlOn will be either Cuba or Porto

these volunteers, and as these men
have not yet seen any active service,

them would willingly quit the service

The new engine for the Lambert
vile Rubber Works is now being

to not having the properly constructed |
wagons for moving such heavy machi-

from time to time and it is not now
definitely known just when the stop
will take place although it is ru-
mored that it will now be made Sept.
oath, and by rushing things through,
they hope to be able to run again by
Nov. list. This will give five weeks
for making the change, and as there
is quite lot Of work to be done, per-
