How Goes The contest7
bristol Trbune)


a bristol Tr'bune)
, There are certain times in almos
every political contest wlen the eur
rent of public sentiment sets in 70
the winner. and the observing MAJ
can predict the result. This is es
pecially true where party excitemen
does not run high, and when men,
minds are not obscured by party
passion.
The last two weeks have witnessed
a great change in the political pnlst
in this district, and the current is
strong and distinct for Rhea.
Walker is losing ground apprecia-
bly, every day. At the outset Of the
canvass his party had the prestige of
triumphant war with Spain, and he
was shcltering himself under the
patriotic feeling thus aroused; but
from day to day it has been developed
that while our soldiers fought brave
ly and won an easy victory over the
enemy, that somewhere there has
been miserable management in the
conduct of war. Our soldery have
been huddled mp in unfit camps,
poorly fed, poorly clad, and wide
spread disease has been the result.
The responsibility for this condi-
ton Of things is being gradually
fastened where it belongs-upon the
war department Of the administration
and all sorts Of we'll founded ru-
mors arc ahoat that there has been
much corruption and theft by reason
OF the loose management of this de-
partment. No longer will an appeal
to the voter to endorse the republican
party because Of it's late war record
evoke enthusiasm. TINS IS ONE FACT
THAT nAs CHILLED TnE CURRENT AND
TURNED IT AGAINST WALKER.
Then, again: Walker opened his
guns upon Rhea, alleging that Rhca
rated the confederate soldier. 1t de-
'elors, however, that there is no .
round for this allegation, and that n
is malicious and was created by
ersonal spite. But, behold when a
he search-light is turned upon !,
Walkers own record it is discovered n
nat, while Boosting to be the sue u
esSor of Stonewall Jackson, he is v
'und begging pardon of Andrew m
ohnson for the part he took in the "
'niederate service, and acknowledge O.
6 that he was wrong! cl
1t is further developed that he turn Ca
down a number Of poor, NAMED IL, i'll
nfederate soldiers, who were appli- "
nts for office in his gift, and gave III

IN Major Daniels speech at Marion
last week some seem to have misnn
derstood his remark in regard to hin
Dan'ei) and Judge Rhea differing,
and some Of the republicans are now
trying to make it appear that Judge
hhea was once Republican In
reference to this the Marion Democrot
says;
oome OF our people were misled ly
Major Daniels remark about his and
Judge Rhea'S having differed in the
past, and lead to think Judge Rbea
had been Republican. Mr. Daniel
referred to the time when Judge Rhea
was a prominent Readiaster. and il
is now an open question which chang. |
ed aud repented of former views |
Judge Rhea or Major Daniel.
Many OF our people remember tho |
grand speech Judge Rhea made in
The Court house here when Bowen
was nominated for congress back II

made their first break for the Repub

ne true Democratic paYty, when he

Born in Cuba and in Porto Ric,
the Spanish Evacuation Commission
ers are persistent in their efforts tc
bring forward many questions aside
from the details of evacuation. The
American commissioners in both ISL

at all. In Porto Rico all bitches
have beer avoided. In Cuba the
Spaniards are more persistent. The

such matters as the Cuban debt, the

lT seems certain, says the Detroit
free Press, that our national treasury
is to be embarrassed by an excess OF
riches. This will be better by a great
deal than to be embarrassed by a
lack OF resources. But the situation
should impell Congress to relieve the
people at the earliest possible mement
OF an unnecessary burden. Unless
some unforeseen financial stress should
entirely change the situation by the
first of December, it will be the
obvious duty of Congress to reduce
taxation by abating many, if not all,
OF the special taxes now being paid
by the people. Such action would
not only afford relief from vexatious
form OF taxation, but would aid
materially in avoiding an excessive
and troublesome surplus.

IT is not now expected that any
more regular troops will be assigned
to stations west Of the Mississippi.
The regulars now east Of the AIissis-
sIppi will be ordered to Alabama,
Georgia and South Carolina. The
purpose is for all regiments in the
East to go to Porto Rico and Cuba.
According to present plans, 10000
regulars will be sent to Cuba, but the
whole army Of occupation will reach
10000 or 10000. The men now in
Porto Rico are considered sufficient.
and 10000 is the figure reckoned on
for Manila.

The most unfair thing under the
control of the war department is the
prize money system. Sampson, who
wasn't within shooting distance of
Santiago when Cervera's fleet was
destroyed, gets 100000 as his share
OF prize money, while Sclley, who
was present and destroyed the feet,
received $4,000 Dewey only gets
$4,000 for destroying Montejo's fleet
at Manila, while he done more for the
country in one day than Sampson did
during the whole course of the war.

our congratulations and best wishes,

because of their cheapness. We

he says: "We have nodded a whole
lot Of public opinion, some Of which
was spoiled in the mold, and expect
to mold some more during our lucid
intervals" We would add, keep on
molding and you won't get mouldy.
