IL now appears that we shall have 10
elect a Governor next Novenber. aud
as one of the people we protest against
such a personal campaign as vas waged
last year. We hope both the Republi.

the acts and doings Of the party leaders
since that election will have TO b. re-

best for the party nominees. Democrat
and Republican, to oe a. far removed

your attention in the catalogues. In

could not be estimated. There We're two
Spanish papers published in Manila and
one or two papers printed in both Span

absence of telegraph news from the
United States. the baseball score was
forty days old when it reached Manila
and the participants in the victory of

weeks after it had occurred.
The demand for a newspaper that
could furnish telegraph news from the
states was so urgent n persistent that
Franklin v. Brooks, formerly a lieuten-

fun by subscription to pay the cable
tolls incident to a telegraph service. It is
a matter Of record that every officer in
