The Evening Journal says:
WHY REED IS MAD.

HBt Is sHoYED TO TIE WALL To- MAKE A
ROBERTSON HOLIDAY.
The conundrum OF the hour Is: Who
put A S Reed on the tack as candidate
tor S ate Representative and who pulled
him off?
Mr.. Reed Is mad at somebody about il.
Me- esn.tn ed to be II candidate Oh the so.
llCitatinu If his friends ard as soon a, he
WIS announced the efforG to push him to
The wall began. He wa soon told he was
not want ted by the ring. The ring argued
That James w. Robertson had n nrior
right to the place; he had been in he field
Tor some tine: had spent considerable
money and ought to have he nomination
Talking to y friend yesterday NJ Reed
said: Il wOud have stayed in the race if
the test was to be an honorable one.
It's not going to be an hOnOrablehyht and
lknow 1t am not going to have any
thing to do with it.
ADMIRAL CERVERA and General Angus
u, who have just reached Vltoria Spain,
from Manila,do not think much of SPANS
fighting navy. Ccrvera was defeated at
Santiago AID August at Manila. The
Philippine Governor-General says h. fed
snd that his ships were old wooden hulks.
Coming ut this time from Sparish sources

pieasantness with Spain the Spanish navy
was supposed to be something formidable
unti the United states navy nothing in
comparison, but few hours trial of the
guns and the excellent marksmen back o.
them, soon convinced the Spanish that

J The nomination election grows warmer
% the time draws near. Tho candidates
for sheriff, OF which there are five. were on
hand yesterday afternoon at the farmers
picnic at Shellpot. They, with the other
candidates, including the Coroner Record
o. Of Deeds and Road Commissioners
helped to swell The crowd. The candidates
only have ono more day to impress the
voter that he should vote for them. The
number of candidates Is q sure sign that
these men think the Republican party has
the best chance OF winning and for this
reason alone are SO many candidates out.
IT is TOO bad that the fifth representative
district is left without Republican can
didate, but such is fact at this writing.
Daniel F. stewart had signifled his will
tnf ness to run In that district, but when
Elwood p. Pyle's name was brought out,
nc at once withdrew the use Of his name.
Their when Mr.. Pyle found he was t, be
made cuts paw he quietly withdrew the
use of his name, thus leaving no candt-
date in the field. There ia a candidate out
for every other office within the gift Of the
people.
