The Republicans in this Judicial
Circuit have no show of electing a
straight out Republican for Circuit
Judge but the chance is now ripening
for them to form a combination with
the Democrats who are tired of Judge
Riley and place the name of an indie
pendent Democrat on the Republican
ticket for Circuit Judge. We have
heard the names Of several prominent
lawyers mentioned in connection OF
this kind of ticket. Among those
mentioned Hon. Linus Sanford of this

who would be strongest before the

The Filipino delegation of business
men who appeal to the United States
for annexation undoubtedly voice the
aspirations of the majority of the
foreigners in the islands and of most
of the intelligent natives. All the is
landers. of course, foreign and native,
intelligent and unintelligent, are OPP
posed to a return of Spanish rule, and
as all of them, or nearly all, would
prefer United States sway to that OF
any other government. the popular
movement in the islands for American
annexation is likely to take practical
shape soon. In this particular piece
of territorial acquisition the "consent
of the governed" theory will not be
