A REPUBLICAN exchange, and one OF
the best, too, puts the congressional
situation in this way: IF the repub-
licans are careful in the selection OF
candidate thus year the chances are
bright for his election. II the repub-
licans make q mistake in naming
their man, then Mccormick will sue
coed himself"
So that is all there is in the cam
gaign is it. No question Of public in
terest but just the individual. Well
he is found, for another republican
paper is booming W. A. Reeder OF
this county, as a man with tue fnan'
CiaI ability to make the campaign.

'The fight against r. W. Turner as
secretary of the state board of rail
road commissioners in which he was
charged With having deserted popu-
lism in supporting republican
friend for office, and thereby forfeit
ing his right to hold office under the
present administration, is responsible
for an effort which Is now being
made to induce the republicans Of
the sixth district 10 adopt q platform
favoring silver, in which event Tur-
ner and his free silver republlcsn
friends, it is said, intend to return
TO the fold.
The proposition is that the sixth
district republican congressional con
vention will declare for the free coin
age of the American product of sil-
YER. This done, Mr.. Turner and his
followers can desert the populists, re-
turning to their first love.
The scheme has been talked of fol

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 2.-Lieutenant
Hobson, who has been expected In
Georgia ever since. his arrival in the
United States from Santiago, is with
his mother at Lithia Springs. The
lieutenant reached Atlanta at $40
O'Clock yesterday morning. When the
train pulled up to the station at Lithia
Springs, where the mother was waiting,
q crowd Of guests from the Sweetwater
Park hotel had gathered to join in the
welcome. The meeting between mother
and son was q pathetic one. The son
kissed his mother, who threw her arms
around his neck and for several minutes
rested her head on his shoulder, she'd
ding tears of joy. The crowd stood
aside in reverence. As she walked up
the lane from the depot to the hotel,
leaning upon the arm of her boy, her
face was aygiow. These two led the
way from the railroad station and the
hotel guests followed, two by two. The
hotel parlors were decorated with the
most beautiful flowers, hagswere draped
over the portierres and the word "Wel-
come, made in green leaves was spread

The dry season has caused great loes
to stockmen on the Sierra foothills. 1t
is estimated that l75,O0 sheep were
driven into the forest reservations after
the withdrawal OF the United States
cavalry some time ago. The force Of
deputy marshals forced the stock owners
to remove their cattle and sheep from
the reserved land. Some OF the herders
assert that as there is no grass and little
water to be found elsewhere, at least
100000 sheep must perish Of starvation

AeU1HALDo Is ACTING UNRULY.

MANILA, July 29.-(Via Kong Kong,
Aug. 2.)-General Merritt will remain
at headquarters aboard the Newport
probably until Manila is occupied.
There is no movement of troops at
Camp Dewey, but they are all under
splendid discipline. The Outposts are
maintained o mile north of the camp
within mile of the Spanish lines to
prevent the possibility of q surprise.
Nearly 5000 troops are in the field, in
Guiding the Astor battery, which landed
Wednesday during violent rain storm.
All members of the battery were wet to
the skin. Many stripped in landing
It was . great sight to see half-naked
men rolling guns through the breaking
surf. No sickness resulted from expos
ure. The camp is particularly healthy.
Four deaths occurred during the Last
week. Sergeant Nichols, California
volunteers, died from the effect of fall
ing through an open coal hole aboard
the China. Sergeant Evans, Nebraska
volunteers; had leg amputated and
died from the shock. Private johnson,
Oregon volunteers, died of typhoid.
Seaman E. w. johnson of the Oiym-
MIA fell from launch and was drowned.
Sickness is disappearing from the camp.
In Manila serious state of affairs ex.
lists. The city would surrender, accord
ing to report, but for fear of the rebels
coming into the city and loOting the
town. The Monterey may arrive any
day. When it arrives and the Other
transports get in quick action is ex.
pected.
Aguinaldo is not particularly friendly.
He has not called ON Merritt. No un.
friendly action is anticipated. though he
viii not likely give much aid. Horses
are now being secured to fit out the
batteries and Tor the generals and stats.
Gable communication between Cavite
and Camp Dewey will soon be inaug-
urated. Reliable reports just received
from Manila, indicate . great scarcity
OF food supplies. Natives are eating
dogs. Europeans still have stores suffi-
bient for some days. r' .
It is probable the terms of surrender
will include the transportation Of al
Spanish prisoners back to Spain, but in
most other respects it will be uncondi-
tioual. Dificulty is feared over secur-
ing the release Of Spaniards now held
by the rebels. and that may not be part
Of the terms. The seamen and soldiers
keep in excellent health in spite of the
heavy rainfall.
