be full of good points, interesting

Further, the presence of at least
four candidates insures emphasis
on more than one issue, making the
contest broad and elevating, rather
than narrow and personal.
With many months to pass before
the formal opening of the state cam
paign, we rather expect some of the
candidates to drop out of the r'ace,
but be that as it may, the democrats
will have ample opportunity to meas

the choice will fall upon him who
best stands the test.
At this juncture the Home Joubnal

Lavy department, as represented by
Rear Admiral Crowinshield and As

very best to annoy and hamper the

Crowinshield, but better things had [
been hoped for from Mr. Hackett.
The latter, however, has refused the j
request of. Schley for a modification
of the fifth precept, which assumes J

Mr. Hackett still assumes that the I

that possibly Sohley “did not wilful-1

have been “justified in disobeying]
them,” and therefore refers his ob
jections to the court. This, howev

occupying for that purpose the office I
of Secretary Long, which is other

Crowinshield restricts him to a small
table in one corner of the room, re
fuses to allow him to receive visitors,

keep a close espionage on him to see
that he abstracts nothing from the
logs. Captain barker is a retired
officer of the navy, and such treat
