FORT HUNT, Va. July q. 1903.
The tents of the National Guard are
raised and the soldier boys are ready for
the business of war. From the moment
the transport" as the steam propelled
scow that crosses from Fort Washington
to Fort Hunt is dubbed, landed the troops
here everything has gone with a snap and
vim which promises we'll for the success
of the fifteen-day campaign. Not one
moment has been lost, and the tented city
is as well organized now as If 1t had been
in existence several weeks.
At Z o'clock Sunday morning the bril-
gade assembled in heavy marching order,
fully armed and equipped. and marched
to the foot OF 7th street, where the Jane
Moseley awaited their arrival. Capt.
Robert Cook was in charge at the wharf
and saw that everything was carried out
properly and that the boat left on time.
At the steamboat wharf a large crowd
had collected to see the boys leave. Wives.
daughters, sisters and sweethearts were
in evidence everywhere, in spite OF the
fact that 1t was rather early and Sunday
morning besides. The girls waved their
handkerchief until they were in danger of
being torn to shreds. Z and shrieked in
dainty feminine excitement whenever the
particular and fortunate young man re-

 Democrat.

Denver. Colo, July 4--Herman Rid der. of New York. proprietor of The New York ssaats zsitung. for Vice President.
 Upon good authority this is said to he the Bryan preference at the pres- ent time. With the arrival in Denver Aarlv today of several prominent Democraks who are close in the conf dence of the Nebrasi<an, came the re- port that M-. Bryan had decided that Mir. Riddsr was strongly available for the nomipation.
 According to the reports which have come from Lincoln. the reasoning of inc Bryan managers in their sugges- ton of Mir. Rider for Vice President is as follows:
 MT. Riddsr Is one of the most prom inent citizens of German descent in tho United States. He was a 'gold Democrat and possesses in fullest measure the confidence of that wing Of the party. A very large per cent Of the populationSef the United States Are German or Of German descent. Tn New York State. the electoral vote of which State Mir. Bryan is anxious to carry if nominated. thirty-four per cent of the population are of German extraction It is said to be the idea of MT. Bryan that he must have a man as his running mate who will repre- sent that wing of the party which has antagonized him in the past. MT. Rid der fills all of these publications. the Bryan people claim. He did not sup port Mir. Bryan for the Presidency either in 1896 or in 1900 He has al- ready informed Mir. Bryan personally that while he is strongly opposed to Mir. Bryan's nomination this year, he will, if the latter Is nominated. sup port him. and will lend him also his active personal aid.
 Mr. Ridder arrived in Denver and gives 1t as his unqualified opinion that MT. Bryan cannot carry New York He cites as his reasons for this the memory which still fingers in the minds of the New York voters of Mir Bryan's free silver views which they disapproved.
 MT. Ridder stated that he expected tc visit all of the different State dele. Rations. particularly those from the South, mad address the delegates upon the subject of Mir. Bryan's political weakness S4n New York State.
 What the result might be in New York if a Vice Presidential candidate of Mir. Bryan's choosing would bo se- lected and a platform adopted which would appeal to the country. Mir. Rid. der refused to hazard.

 The paper also denies the assertion that the Emperor carries in his watch case a piece of cloth matertaliZed at a spiritualistic seance.

A local newspaper publishes what purports to be a digest of the Princes theory in which he is represented as steadfastly affirming that he is the victim of intrigues.

To the Citrus Fruit Growers of Los
Angeles Co.

NV attention has been called to the
fact that certain assertions have been
made in the various fruit-growing dis
tricts of this county by the supporters
of and apologists of Mr.. McLachlan.
my opponent, concerning my attitude
on the tariff on citrus fruits.
One of the chief offenders in this re-
gard is the editor and publisher of the
Covina Argus, who is also by the favor
of McLachlan postmaster at Covina,
and whose utterances are undoubtedly
inspired by McLachlan. I find in an
editorial contained in this paper of date
october "a, 1908, this assertion: "Inas-
much as he (Rush) is a Democrat, and
the Democratic party stands pledged
to remove the tariff upon citrus fruits
as well as other American products, it
would seem like asking for aims for
him to stand up in citrus district and
ask orange raisers to send him to
Washington"
l have read the Democratic platform
carefully, not only once, but many
times, and 1 have utterly failed to find
any such plank in that platform, and
am certain that the Democratic party
does not stand pledged to remove the
tariff upon citrus fruits. The record
will not disclose any more justification
for this inspired statement than for the
assertion that Mr.. McL4achlan's record
in congress had no weak spots in II.
Further on in this same editorial thfs
inspired writer asserts that "the over
