SEARLE NOW YIELDS,
Formally Announces His Can
didacy For Congressional
Nomination.
Is AFTER IT BED hot, Toe.

ssys He IL In Good Faith and Dead
Earnest and That He WIN Remain
10 the Fight to Q Flnish-win Pro-
daos Cemplications-Gslya Convention
Ovsr Again.
States Attorney G. ). Searle has
yielded and is now q fully avowed
candidate for the republican nomi'
nation for congress in the Tenth dis
trict. Searle says he has sounded
the party representatives and felt
the Pablo pulse, and the symptoms
are all that Rock Island county
should seek the distinction o!
having representative in con.
gre:s. What Is more interest
ing to Searle, he says, is that
in his party he is generally favored
in such connection. This is an
honor that he appreciates deeply.
Sesrle would rather be q republican
than be president. He would Gketo
be both, Of coarse. Especially just
now when there is prospect Of war.
For Searie enjoys q fight; he fairly
spoils for one. He has fought, bed
and died in q thousand immortal
Conflicts since the civil war ended.
He has thrashed through every i'm
portant conflic: in that great civil
struggle over and over agsin-on the
burning stump and on the blazing
platform. Searle is fire-eater; he
is pyrotechuic Billy Mason is his
ideal. Searle would find infinite de-
light in standing at roaring cannon's
mouth and shooting skyrockets. This
enjoyment would be only secondary
to him to shooting off his own mouth
before q yelling multitude.
But Searle is out for congress. He
says he is q candidate in good faith;
that he is not the tool
Of Prince or of Princes
friends, strong as may be the i'm
preston that such is the case. He
says that he proposes to wboup
it up and fight it out to a finish. He
is strictly in it, first for the recogni-
tion Of Rock Island county, and
thereafter he will go after the other
fellows.
VIII Compl,cAte Matters.
The effect OF Searle's candidacy,
il he is in earnest, cannot be mis-
understood. 1t simply means,
that history will repeat it.
self-that the Galva conven-
ton will be held over again.
Every county in the district will pre-.
sent candidate. The prospect Of
such condition will strengthen
Prince in his own county Of Knox
very likely, as it will arouse local
prejudice, but it will practically
array the field against him. Henry,
like Rock Island. already has de-
clared aspirant. Whiteside will trot
out Ramsay again. Mercer will come
meekly up with plea for recogni,
tion and trot meekly back without
getting it. Stark will ask that little
Mollie be treated at least Gecently.
Henry was the only county that had
no candidate when Prince was nomi-
mated at Galva, but Henry has re-
ceived what she wanted since, the
cinching Of Judge Bigelow's claim to
the bench. Now she wants some
thing else, and it is no less than the
best the party has to offer in this
congressional district. Searie is 60.
ing into 6ght-snd nobody knows
it better than he.

Chesapeake Beach Railway.

The Annapolis correspondent of the
Baltimore Sur, under date of June 18th,
says:
The publication in book form of the
Acts of Assembly passed in 1898 has given
the people some surprises. Among these
is a discovery in connection with the
charter of the proposed railroad from
Washington to Chesapeake Beach, in Cal
vert county. A company to build this
road was chartered in 1894 under the name
of the Washington and Chesapeake Beach
Railway Company. This company. after
doing considerable work, failed and its
assets were sold by a receiver. They were
purchased by an individual who got up
another com Dany called the Chesapeake
Beach Railway Company. 1t was in effect
a reorganization Of the old company. The
new company applied to the Legislature
at the last session for the passage of bill
con- erring upon it all the rights and fran
chises of the old company. This bill
passed the House In the Senate Mr..
Randall, fearing that a bridge over the
Patuxent, below Bristol, would obstruct
navigation, got an amendment added to
the bill providing that the bridge must be
above Bristol or about half mile above
the place where the company proposed to
build it. This amendment was rejected
by the House. The bill went to confer
ence, and their report was adverse to Sen
ator Randalls amendment, the president
of the company agreeing to construct 4
sufficient drawbridge to keep navigation
open. Both houses, it was understood,
adopted the conference report, and the
proceeded to build the bridge be
low Bristol at large expense, the struc
ture now being nearly completed.
Now comes the surprise. The law, as
published in the new volume of the Acts
of the session of 1896, chapter 231, APP
pears as containing the amendment offered
by Mr.. Randall. 1t provides that the
rights asked for shall be conferred upon
the company ION the express condition
and stipulation that the said company, &c,
shall not construct any bridge over the
PatuXent below the present steamboat
landing at the village of Bristol, Leon
Postoffice, in Anne Arundel county, but
shall construct its bridge across said river
above, or higher up said river than said
steamboat landing"
We cannot believe that this mistake
will cause any trouble to the railroad
company, or that the work will be delayed. |
