The startling and wonderful in

last week that The most of the
Vanderbilts would spend their win

why make special mention of it.
What a glorious thing it would be if
the Vanderbilts, Goulds and their

there. These cheap cattle are NOR

Since the announcement that
Hon. Jas. A. Reed would be a can
didate for the United States senate

enthusiastically endorsed his candi-
dacy. There is every indication
that Mr.. Reed will have the hearty
support large majority of the par
ty, because they have confidence in
his party fealty, his ability and his
sincerity of purpose to serve the
people With such a man as Jas.
