most graphic things yet written about
the War-the second installment OF
Gov. RooSevelt's serial on THE Rough

individual and picturesque way, how
the rough riders were made ready for
the voyage to Cuba; how they were
hustled on board the Yucatan and how
they were landed at Daiauiri. He
speaks his mind very freely about the
confusion at Tampa, but, as was to be
expected, he and his men took their
share of the discomfort without anv

public were delighted with the verdict
rs confirming the chose jugee. Now,
however. they are beginning TO see the
want of logic in conceding "extenu-
nting circumstances" TO convicted
traitor, n concession which excites
doubt as to the strength of the case
against Dreyfus.
Moreover, public opinion is being sob
cred by reading the comments Of the
world at large. and by the prospect.
however remote. that the exhibition
will be bOycotted, which would mean
loss of millions TO the country.
There is little doubt that the trial of
the DerOuledists next Monday, at
which it is asserted sensational evi-
tlencc will be developed, and the re-
opening of the Chamber of Deputies
will be signals for fresh troubles. At
present both parties are taking breath,
but the latent animosity is undimln-
ished.
1t is estimated that the last years
proceedings have cost the Dreyfus
party at least 100000 francs. They do
not intend to let matters rest, and
rumors are revived of the impending
arrest of General Mercier. He declares
that he does not care what happens,
being quite satisfied that he has done
his duty.
1t is understood also that President
Loubet opposes such an extreme course
as prosecuting Mercier or the other
generals. He Is rather inclined to II
conciliatory policy. extending even to
pardon for Dreyfus.
NJ. Demange has been blamed for
ronccding so many points In his speech

Nash's Fatal Mistake.

Judge Nash has made a mistake in
his candidacy for Governor that will be
fatal to his prospects. The Spring pri-
msries showed that his own county
(Franklin) would be against him. In
order to prevent this, he bad the County
Central Committee appoint the dele
gates from that county to the State Con-
vention.
This was done before the call for the
State Convention was issued, and before
a new Committee could be appointed.
But to secure even this, he had to
concede the selection of Daugherty men
for majority of the delegation, who are
under obligations to support Nash only
at the start. and may, if they want to,
desert him for Dsugherty after the first
ballot.
The fact that Judge Nash has had to
resort to such desperate tactics to secure
so little, proves that he enters the race
as q second rate nag.
But not only is this true, but his tao
tics in refusing to submit the selection
of delegates to the people, shows that
he would override the people to secure
his nomination, and it will injure his
chances throughout the State.
The people will not view with COM
placency anything that savors of ignor
ing them In the choice of their rulers.

McKisson's Reinforcement.

The McKisson ticket in Cleveland has
had quite q boom this week. Farley,
the Democratic candidate for Mayor,
sent an invitation to Tom johnson, who
now lives in New York City, to come
and make some speeches for him. john
son formerly lived in Cleveland and was
very popular with the workingmen, and
was at one time candidate for Congress.
He accepted the invitation, came, was
received by q large committee, brass
band, and large delegation. He made
one or two speeches, and was excused
with q suddenness that almost cracked
the Democratic machine. He endorsed
McKisson's platform of municipal own
ership of street railways, which Farley
opposes, and said McKisson was opposed
bv the bankers and aristocrats Of the
city. and added that he didn't believe
the stories that were circulated against
him. The Farleyites were dis
naved, while the McKisson boys are all
falling on each others necks, convulsed
with laughter.
