Bent Upon Selecting Him.

Mr.. Bradshaw's friends are bent upon
again selecting him, as they have done
in the past. as this years white repre-
sentative In the Republican convention
They have no trouble convincing the col
ored Republicans of his worthiness to act
wisely for the interests of both races.
He it was. away back in the old days
when Washington had a mayor and
board of aldermen. who secured the
nomination Of two colored men-the first
to represent their race in the city coun-
Gil.
The first Republican mayor of that time
-ls67-was Sayles j. Bowen Mr.. Bowen,
more than thirty years after that, paid
his tribute to the "old war horse"
From 1861 to the present date, no per-
sonal sacrifice has been too great for
him. at any and all times. to make, If
he considered that the good of the party
would be promoted thereby. And what
ever success the party has achieved In
this District, for. whatever influence it
may have exerted in national affairs in
the past. no other man is entitled to
equal credit. in my opinion, with Mr..
Bradshaw. whose character and high
standing have placed him In the front
ranks of popularity wherever he is known
and appreciated
The object of this tribute has been in
many notable contests in the District. In
1877. in close scrap for delegates to the
Philadelphia convention which nominated
Grant for bis second term, Mr. Bradshaw
was the campaign manager for the
'white-and- black ticket for delegates.
Frederick A. Boswell and A. M. Green.
against Gov. II. d. Cook and Alex. r
Shepherd. Shepherd and Green were
elected the delegates each by one vote.
He has been SO active a partisan for his
political principles that, whenever he
happened TO. have Office and the Demo-
Gratis came into power. he was among
the first to be removed. There never
was any doubt where he stood. And so
his friends are determined to support
him for white delegate to Chicago next
June.
Mr.. Bradshaw was one Of the delegates
to the last Republican convention and
was the Districts member on the ,com-
mittee on credentials which had all to
do with the decision that constituted the
Of the convention. :

who were recently given a lease on
the western half of the Wildcat and
the northern quarter of the Michigan
Boy claims, are preparing to inaugn-
rate work in the near future, says
the Goldfield Tribune.
On the Nelson lease there is rs

years ago. II is the intention of the
lessees to continue the shaft down
to the latite-shale contact, estimated
10 lie at a depth of 200 feet, and ex-
plore it upon an extensive scale.
Harry b. Lind, who has an option for
lease on the Examiner claim OF
the western section of the estate, has
started prospecting the ground with
view to determining the most ia
vorable point for exploratory work.
Although operations have been sus.
pended by the company at shaft No

ton of the property until satisfactory
side line agreements can be made
with companies owning adjoining
properties, work at the Michigan shaft
on the eastern section of the estatf
