The knowledge that Willard Salisbury
intends to take hand in the fight for
United States Senator came like a thun-
derbolt from clear sky in the camps Of
the Regular Republicans and the Demo-
Gratis yesterday.
At first very little credence was given
to the report, but as an investigation
showed that such was the case, there
was CONSERVATION amongst these two
parties who had their plans SO well laid
that they thought everything was over
but the shouting.
They are now we'll aware that it will
be almost impossible to deliver the goods
promised the Administration, and, in
consequence, they, as we'll as President
Mckinley and Mark Hanna, will be
sorely disappointed in not being able to
re-elect Hon. George Gray, Gold Demo-
crat, to the United States Senate.
The blow dealt by Mr.. Salisbury is
severe and one that would take months
for them to recuperate and reorganize
their now almost depleted forces.
They know full we'll why Mr.. Sauls-
bury has stepped into the arena at this
time and how to overcome the shock
over his appearance is question that
their muddled brains cannot solve.
The Regulars are more exercised over
the present status of affairs than the
Democrats and many of them are of the
opinion that chances of carrying out the
mandates of the Administration are
slim indeed.
1t is bitter dose to them and they are
almost, but not quite, ready to concede
that the prospects of the Union Republic,
cans and J. Edward Addicks are much
brighter than they were three days ago.
The Regulars, however, claim that
they have not yet given up hope, but
what their next move will be towards
defeating the party, whom they regard
as their bitterest enemy, at this time is
hard to say.
Did any one person say that they had
been subsidized?
Another "boomlet' busted? Ask the
First Citizen.
First Citizen Hilles? Probably in the
next world if its not too warm.
The Police Commissioners are en-
deavoring to keep up their excellent (?)
reputation, by again investigating the
wrong end of different matters laid be-
fore them.
The Silent Man still maintains his
reputation and won't even open up to
Court.
John Pill will remain loyal to his
United States Senatorial ''boomlet' for

The Dinkey intimates that he is going

When he does there may be an explosion
