sharp adds that the crckets are now
headed down the valley towards YER

may not be able to get there on account
of the great heat, In the meantime
they are subssting on grass and sage
brush, Mr.. sharp met a band of In

crickets for winter use. The sayages
are very fond OF them and make n pot

difficulty in picking them up as they
can be gathered by the bucketful.
Mr. sharp calls attention to another
fact Of interest in connection with the
presence Of the crickets, and that is
that the coyotes have stopped killing
sheep and taken to deyouring the
crickets In great number Besides thew
have grown fat and sleek upon them.
The same Is true with reference to

TO BUY UP THE poPuL1srs.

So 1t seems the republican managers
Of h national Campaign are going to
call in their former, but now defunct,
allies, the populists as assistants. 1t is
a h populists will nominate candi-
dates in twenty-three states. The re-
publican party, of course, will furnish
all the campaign funds. The populists
are going into it for all the money
there is in ii. They cannot expect to
win except in those republican Dr. very
doubtful states in which their bosses
will agree TO support such candidates
as they put up. BY this the re-
publicans hope to draw off votes from
the democratic party in state and o n
gressional districts.
There will be a hard fight in this
campaign over the election of con-
gressmen, The democrats have a
e house. 1t is more to prevent this
than for what effect it will have or the
presidential elecuoH tina the republic
cans have made this movement.
BY his means efforts will be made
to carry the Eighth and Ninth districts
in this state. It is said that large
sums of money will be put out I'm
these districts.
1t is significant that this movement
for buying up the populists was
started just after the announcement
OF such men as Morgan and Rockefel-
Ter that they would support Mr.. Rose
Welt. .
We wonder if Marion Butler doe,
not think he declared his allegiance to
h republican party too soon? AS a
pronounced republican he is not
worth nea as much in money value
to the managers of that party as he
would be as the leader Of the populists
in this state. Here is where the ex-
senator made a political blunder. He
has LOST an opportunity to reach clear
down into the republican campaign
barrel. We DO not mean to say that
they will be so u~ngrateful as to make
him keep his hands out of it alto
gether, but they, most assuredly, will
be more economical in their landings
over under existing conditions.
