The Carroll Chronicle is having some
fun out of the Harrison-Carroll Sena-
torial convention at Kilgore where Hol-
lingsworth and Rutan are expected to
pose at the great bargain and sale
of Congressional and Senatorial dele
gates. Here are few of the With
cisms:
The Hannaites will be there. Trip
has bowed his three successive blasts
for all the faithful to assemble to scalp
the deacon and sing an administration
war dance. Hanna has been defeated
in his native city and is now ready for
any old town. If he can't get Cleve-
land he will take Kilgore. They ex-
pect the deacon to trot out in the first
act and shout like the Roman gladiator:
''Mortuari salutamis!" The deacon
will be there with fresh keen knife
ready to perform the feat Of sticking
the money-hog of the g. o. p. in the
political jugular. After this act the
deacon will put up his lightning rods
and receive seventeen strokes of light
ming from Harrison and seven claps of
thunder from Carroll amid applause
from the galleries of the Kilgore con-
vention hall. Gen. Hollingsworth
will be there and this will positively
be his last appearance. John H.
Fimple will be there, argus-eyed, ready
to delve to the bottom of the Congress
ional situation and by his genius bring
order out of chaos, and incidentally
plow with the Weems horse from Bel
mont county.

The Mechanics hose team is consid-

race to be run at the Catholic picnic
ON the Island on August 18th There
is only the matter of three seconds be-

that made by the winners and there
is no reason to believe that practice
will not overcome this. The team may
be strengthened in one or two particu-
lars before another trial of speed is

declares that the people are aroused TO
