WILL U.iVE IT STRAIGHT,

A number of the representa-
tives of the Virginia Republican
party met on Tuesday evening
at The Virginlan office for the
purpose of discussing coming
events. DR.. Bates stated the
object Of the meeting and on
motion G. M. Atkinson was chos-
en- temporary chairman and Geo.
Lerch temporary secretary A
general discussion as to the ad-
visibility of continuing the party
organization was carried on and
terminated in a vote which was
unanimously in favor of renew
ing and holding the organization.
Judge McGindley who had
passed 10 the unknown beyond
officiateu as chairman and it was
necessary to fill the vacancy.
G. G. Helmuth has removed from
the city which left the place of
secretary vacant. For perman-
ent chairman the name Ct Chas.
w. Lundstrum was presented
and his election was unanimous
as was also that Of George Lcrch
for permanent secretary. The
discussion then turned to the ad.
visibility of nominating a
straight party ticket for the mu-
nincipal election and it met the
hearty approval of all present.
BY a vote the chairman was in
structed to draft a call for Re-
publican primary and have the
same printed IN the local Repub-
lican papers. The call will be
found elsewhere in this impress
sion. There being no further
business the meeting thereupon
adjourned.
Chairman Lundstronf is an
enthusiastic republican and if
the party is not successful in the
coming meeting it will be no
fault of his. He will appoint com =
mittees consisting of three men,
bers each and every effort will
be made to elect the ticket that
will be nominated at the primary.
The Republicans will nominate a
business ticket and will expect
the full support of the party,
which will insure it's success.

THE CItCINN.iTT.


The current report that the
Cincinnati mine at Mckinley is
to resume operations in the near
future brings the following from
the Duluth Herald, which indeed
depicts a rather tongled con-
dition Of affairs:
Il was reported from McKin-
ley Saturday that Capt. Harry
Roberts was about to conclude
arrangements by which he would
come into control Of the Cincin-
natl mine and that the property
would be operated by him during
the coming season. If Capt.
Roberts contemplates such a
move there at this time seems
little prospect of his being able
to carry it successful. The Gin.
cinnati mine is now in such a
tangle that it does not appear
likely that its affairs will be
Strengthened out in time to per-
nit of it's being worked this
year. The property was origin
ally leased by the fee owners to
the Cincinnati iron company and
was sub.leased to the Standard
Ore company. 1t was found that
it could not be worked protitably
under this lease and the fee own.

duction of royalty to Is cents ii

great plenty of enthusiasm, each man
being ready to cheer every time the
merits of a true Republican, or whel
any Republican ideas were mentioned,
1t was also a very harmonious gath
erng, and but for one little breeze that
is spoken of later. everything would
have been passed without ripple.
There were no opposing voices
against the nomination of a single can
didatc, save in the one instance, and
for each office there WAS but one can

encumbent Of the office, for acting as
the attorney for Il Massachusetts brew
ing company in the collection Of a debt
from a Maine liquor dealer. In reply
Mr.. Heath pointed out that in forcing
the collection of this debt Mr.. Heselton
was really doing a practical temper
ance work. He criticised vigorously
that provision of the law which made
it possible for cheap and irresponsible
dive keepers to cvade the payment of
their Indebtedness to the retailers,
thereby furnishing them with addi-
tional means for the payment of fines
and oftimes enabling them to keep
along in the traffic when. otherwise.

claimed that he had found by exper-

filed the office of county attorney had
found by experience-that a change

The representatives Of the Republi

ty, the State, and tie Nation, upon the
magnificent victory of the party in the
last national election, and the splendid
success of it's national policy, as pro-
mulgated in its platform, and present
the following declaration of principals.
We re-atiirm our belief in the Repuh-
lican party, because it has, during its
whole existence, been wise in policy,
consistent in purpose, progressive N
thought, broad in comprehension. and
aggressive in action; always anticipat-
ing the needs of the country, and
meeting them with a wisdom proved
by success of SIS years Of almost UNI
broken rule.

the United States in the wisdom Of his

sale liquor dealers to collect their debts
would be Il power for practical pro
hibtion as it would force retailers to
nav their own fines. This was shown
in the case which had been referred to,
in which by u combination of criminal
process and civil suit Mr.. IIcscltou had
permanently driven a rumscllcr out OF
business. Mr.. Heath referred to the
difficulties encountered by a county at
torney, and protested against the m
Justice and unfairncss of endcavoring
to hold that official responsible for
matters that were entirely outside of
his official limitations. He warmly
commended the administration of Mr..
Heselton which he said had been clean,
able, and in a marked degree success
full. and this applied especially to his
vigorous enforcement of the prohibi-
tory law. in which results showed ne
had surpassed all records in his office
in the total amount of the fines col
1ected from rumsellers. Eloquent and
able speeches in behalf of Mr. Heselton
were also made by Judge G. r. Stevens,
Hon. A. NJ. Spear, and Hon. l.. L.
Carleton. 1t was evident that the con-
vention believed that Mr.. Heselton had
been faithful to the trust reposed in
him for he was nominated by acclahla-
tion-without a dissenting voice.
This little breeze was the only thing
which developed the slightest di1er-
ences of opinion in convention ti'a'
wos sineularly harmonious in its pro-
ceedince. As it was it simply served
to clear the atmosphere, and caiieo

parted for Fort .Popham, Tuesday,

day, nothing but worn streets, for
every bit of canvass is taken down and
the cook and the. mess houses closed.
All that remains upon the field is the
camp of the Signal Corps, over under
the lea Of the hospital building.
The Battery ale an early breakfast,
Tuesday morning, and completed THEN
preparations for the journey to the
fort.
They had no tents to take down, as
eight tents had been taken to the bag
gage car, Monday night, that they
might be dry, as well as saving the
trouble of bothcring with them.
The march to the station in heavy
marching order, was taken up at lii
tie past o'clock, arriving a the sta
ton in time to connect with the 1902
train. Three extra cars were upon the
side track and these were attached
to the train, into which the Battery
marched.
There were but few people upon the
streets to witness the departure, and
though there We're a few cheers, the
| enthusiasm did not run very high, as
it was very different than as though
the troop was going TO the front.
There are hut few Augusta men IN
the Battery. and in consequence there
were hut few 10 bid good by to rela-
