ticket since Hayes and Wheeler, has
fallen flatter than McKinley and Ho- |
bart. The fact that Hanna has had |
himself made chairman of the Repub- |
lican National Committee and vested
with the authority to select the execu- |
tive committee, which has
charge of the campaign, was not ealeu- |
lated to make any tepublican, except |
those in the Hanna ring, hilarious |
with joy. This extraordinary authori- |
ty, demanded and obtained by Hanna,
has never been wielded by any
chairman of that committee, and its!
exercise is not calculated to make
friends for McKinley among those Re- |
publicans who have usually had al
hand in managing their party’s na- |
tional campaigns. Mr. Hanna has |
proven that he could do the bossing |
and the buying in a campaign for the |
nomination, but he has yet to prove |
what he can do in a campaign for elec. |
tion, and the more Republican ene- |
mies he makes, the more he adds to |
the chances for the defeat of his ticket.

An Old Fisherman's Theory,
According to the theory of an old
fisherman there will be high water all
summer. The basis of this idea is the
fact that the fish in the small streams
are spawning in shallow water this
spring. The authority of fish says
that when sunfish, suckers and chubs
spawn in deep water, as they did last
year, the season will have but little
rainfall, but when they spawn in shal
low water there will be plenty of rain
and corresponding high water,

The leading figures in the county |
Republican organization, in touch |
with the rank and file as shown by the
primaries on Saturday, seem to be
Will Gray, Charly Hewes, Jack Dale,
and one or two others, backed by the
grester part of the leaders in the rural
districts. Gray might be styled the
Tom Reed of the organization, Hewes
the brains, Jack Dale the statesman
handy in work. Some solid advice is
often thrown in by the thoughtful and
patriarchal Dunham. This element is
on top and the old ring is under.
The bitterness that came to the sur
face at Saturday's Republican prima-
ries, was unparalleled in this county.
There were over a dozen of ugly rows
