Anti. rorakerism and Amen.

The Clinton County Republican, an
anti.Foraker paper, has this TO say Of
Sam Amsn's treachery at the State Con.
vention:
"If 1t is true that Mr.. Amen, who 10 .
nephew OF Senator Foraker, has gone
back on his distinguished uncle, it is be.
cause the nephew thinks such following
a barren ideally"
Never mind, Bro. Browning. Don't
get up any false hops that you have
made great stroke against Senator For.
aker by working Sam Amen.
The Senator will be just as strong in
Highland without Sam as with him. The
favors in the past have all gone from
Senator Foraker and none have returned.
Foraker is all right in Highland and
looks on in contempt at the ungrateful
attempts OF his beneficiary to do him
harm.
The same article has this also to say :
"The Hillsboro NKws-H ERALD is caus.
tic in it's remarks anent the action Of our
friend, John Horst, in the recent meet.
ing of the Republicans of the Sixth dis.
trict at the State convention in Colum.
bus, in which @. @. Hildebrant was made
q member of the State Central Commit
tee, vice @. r. Fisher, relegated. The
fact stated by the NEws-HERALD that
Hon. J. J. Pugsley did not attend the
district meeting is significant of the
fact that Mr.. Horst is not the only mem-
Der Of the Highland county contingent
who was, at least, lukewarm in advoca-
cy of Foraker candidate"
No more loyal supporter of Senator
Foraker can be found in Highland coun.
ty than Hon. J. J. Pugsley, and he was
absent from the District meeting ON &C.
count of the funeral of E. W. Poe. Had
he been there his vote would have been
for the Foraker candidate.
As to John Horst, everybody knows
where he stands and that his duty in
the anti. Foraker program is to coach
Sam Amen.

"Say, now," said a man from Iowa
the other day, ~ tell you this war ia
bringing about good many queer situa-
tons right here at home. l don't pro-
fess to say-though l think I know
what it will do to the Spaniards. But
it is doing some funny things to us
Americans, anyway.
"When was on my way down here
met man on the train; met him in
the smoking room, where he was Sit
ting, reading a New Orleans paper.
OF course we began TO talk war, and
asked him what New Orleans people
had to say.
"'Oh, they're ready for a fight he
said; Just as ready to fight under the
Stars and Stripes to-day as they were
to fight against it thirty-6ve years ago.
I've seen some pretty strange things
since this war broke out; but when l
was down in Orleans week ago /
saw something that beat all the rest for
being queer.
"'There was regiment Of Southern
volunteers expected to pass through
the city, and it seemed as if the whole
population, men, women and children,
had turned out to see 'em 60 through.
In way, 1t was pretty and sad ex-
perience to the old.timers who remem-
bered the war; sad, because it brought
back the memory of the privations and
terror and heartaches Of those days.
When the first company appeared in
their United States Army uniforms it
