EIILENSBURG. Aug. 6--one month
from date the fusion circus and menaeerie
VIII exhibit for one day only In this lively
little city. and great preparations are be-
ing made Tor the show. The people OF
E.ilenshurs never do things by halves. and
they are arranging a fine programme for
the occasion. Ii will be an occasion long
TO be remembered. for the Indications ara
that before the show is ended some CT the
performers Will need arnca salve and
hamameis for their own bruises and will
undoubtedly carry goodly quantities OF
cayenne pepper ana vinegar for the other
fellow. In ether words. the harmony will
be OF an inharmonious character The
hand of good fellowship VIII be presented
with smiling face, but there Will be ons
hand remaining behind the back, and IL
VIII hold knife ready to avenge treach-
cry.
From present indications the center
pole of the big show will be Henry ],
Snively. the Priapus of the state aamin.s-
tration and Manipulation TO his exeellency
Gov. Rogers. Snisely will hold up tho
entire canvass-and the conventlon-or at
least he has plans already maturing 10
that end. Some OF the Popuiists~,he or
dinary. pain Popuiists. whose only merit
lies in the fact that they have a real de-
sire to see reform inaugurated and are
not figuring On holding office-wIll en-
deavor to upset Mr.. sn.vely. but the pow
ers do not look for much OF a fuss They
expect shiver OF disappointment; to travel
down the spinal chord OF the body Popu-
listic when Mr.. Sniveiy Grams his sugar
coated pills down the Populis,ic throat,
but their diagnosis OF the situation 10
that the Populists Will take TO it kindly
enough when they find they have to swal-
low the dose.
Hence Mr.. Snively Is going ahead with
his programme.
The original plan was for tho Democrats
TO have a congressman. the Silver Reruh-
leans a congressman ana the PopulIsts
the two members of the state supreme
court. That liz. that was the plan figured
out by such Populists as VIII u. Jen-
kins. secretary OF state, State Treasurer
Young and men of that stripe. But that
was before Gov. Rogers and his member
Of the State Board-of- Consral- ard Chief.
Dispenser Patronage Sn!vely put their
heads together. The plan now is 10 give the
Democrats and Silver Republicans each a
congressman, to give the Popnl!sts one
member OF the state supreme bench and
one United States senator-the same 70
be Endorsed by the state convention-wh.ls
the remaining member OF the state st,-
preme bench would go 10 the Democrats.
There ss just where Henry and his ex-
c.lency are 10 come in. The former
would take the nomination for the su-
preme bench and Tho latter would bs In
dorsed for United States senator. II was
for this that Sn!vely was made dispenser
OF patronage and 1t was TO carry out this
plan Of organization that the state schools.
