Campaign HumOr.

Washington, July 1S.-It is under
stood that Job Hedges, Senator De-
pew and a few others of the funmak-
ers of the republican party will be
asked to the White House in a few
days to devise plant of making some
fun for the second part of the cam
paign-the presidential fight proper
because it has been demonstrated
that this is a feature of campaigning
quite as necessary as political speech
es and the issuance of pamphlets out
lining the fitness of candidates for
office. To get at the matter in a
dignified way is not above the plans
of the republican leaders. 1t is recall
ed that all campaigns have been dis
tinguished by humor since the jack
son epoch. The "houn' dog" of Mis-
souri,, for example, and the that in
the ring" are declared to be as sure
ly antiques as "Tippecanoe and Ty-
Ter Too or the grandfather's hat of
1888. Plenty is doing, but quietly
and without fuss. so the political jest
ers will be called from their vacations,
it is expected, to "set things hum
ming"

Colonel Raley for the state of Ohio,
howver, maintains that he was in
dicted upon another count also,
which charges him with obtaining
money under false pretenses.
Countering this argument, the at
torneys for Stapish contend that it
was solely upon the first charge
that the requisition papers issued by
Governor West are based and, hence
that it would be only upon this charge
that he could be taken back to Ohio.
Therefore, it is argued the prisoner
is wrongfully imprisoned.
Col. Raley this morning entered a
motion to quash the writ upon the
grounds that "lt appears from the
record in this case that there is no
ground for the discharge of the said
w, J, Stapish, and upon the ground
that the record in this case shows up
on its fact that the Imprisonment
though complained of as Illegal, is in
fact legal
The argument of the motion is un-
der way this afternoon.

WelIs-Kennedy Bout.

New York, July 1S,-Bombardier
Wells, who has been more popular
since his recent defeat by Al Placer
than many a victor, is matched to
fight Tom Kennedy here tonight be-
fore the Garden \. c. Wells will
find Kennedy an opponent more on
his own style than the husky Placer.
Lack of stamina, the Bombardier's
weakness, is also Kennedy's chief
fault. Both are clever men, but
Wells carries far more dangerous
punch.
