The climate of Cuba was very severe
upon all our soldiers, but instead of COM
planning. the hearts of those brave men
are filled with gratitude to the people for
the generosity which has been extended
TO them.
''There is no doubt that there have been
individual cases of suffering and possible
neglect among the soldiers, not only in
Cuba but since their arrival at this place.
Nearly 10000 men were brought from
yellow fever district to the United States.
1t would have been criminal to have land

cuOusly among the people. 1t has been
stated by physicians that, II that had

The GRAPHIC intends next week to give the State and County candi- dates an opportunity of addressing larger audience than any they have heretofore addressed during the present campaign. The GRAPHIC will therefore issue next Sunday a special Campaign Edition of not less than 2500 copies, a copy of which will be mailed to every Dem ocratie voter in the city, for which purpose the names of the Democrat ie voters of the county, together with their postoffice address, has been secured.
 This edition will also be ilIustra- ted with half-tone cuts ofthe county candidates. The GRAPHIC last week addressed note to each of the can didates requesting photograph, and very correct likeness of all who responded to our request will appear in our Campaign Edition.
 The edition will be entirely non- partisan in the sense that it will neither advocate nor oppose any particular candidate, but each can- didate has been invited to make his 'stump-speech' through our col umns by contributing an article oyer his personal sigma 5ure.
