HUNTINGTON. i am a repuDiican. aome men who claim to be republicans, (so I am informed) say they will not sup port the republican ticket as to mayor for the reason that I would be marshal. I am not a candidate for the position, and I take pleas ure in making- this statement, al though I do not believe that these tauit-nnaers ana street corner loafers will now, or have in the past voted the republican ticket ex cept when they have an ax to grind or thought they could control the candidate they voted for. I am tor Evans for mayor, not through hope ot reward but because if elected he will be the mavor. I shall vote the straight republican ticket from top to ootrom even inougu it aeteatea every man on the ticket. I have some rights as a voter which I will never be gulled out of by these gul lies.

It was announced sometime since that the international committee of the Young Men's Christian Associa tion" was negotiating with the Union Pacific.railroad company to get certain assistance toward the erection of an association build ing at this place. It was also stated that C. L. Gates would arrive here" in March to see what could be done toward the work by the citizens. Mr. Gates arrived this week but not having made arrangements sufficiently definite with the com-i pany the matter has been deferred for the present. I do not mean by this statement that there has been no progress made towards the real- ! nn l-l f 1 J, uuLiuu ui our nopes, on tne otuer hand the matter has been verv favorably received. So that consid- en njr the orooosition for the build- iug as first stated there are bright prospects indeed. Mr. Gates will probably return about the first of June; at which time it is hoped that all things will be ready to push the matter to completion. H. B. HOLUNGSWORTII. BULES GOVEBNINg' ASSESS0ES.

The things that are becoming es pecially noticeable about Corbett's train ing are the improvement in his leg work and the attention he is paying to break away hits and clinch blows, particularly the open glove shovo in the face at close quarters. He seems to be able to jump from any spot and at any angle and land in position to defend himself from a blow. This leg strength, too, is enabling him to throw his body forward at a very wido angle, while it gives him an ad ditional reach and allows him to come back from his opponent's punches with out moving his feet from their original position. Corbett said, "I feel that I am in ex cellent shapo and am glad that my work is not suffering through the change of air and locality. " Exchange. Silpatrick a Professional.

He hopes to make enough money to be able to return homo and resume his studies without being compelled to listen to remarks to tho effect that his Btatus as an athlete is not above reproach. New York Sun. A Bad Habit of Boxing Clubs. Certain boxing clubs enjoying pros perity have a bad habit of raising tho price of tickets when the spectators in point of number exceed expectations. This practice should be denounced. It is unfair to tho patrons of boxing, who always pay high prices and are often re warded witlrdisappointments. In view of the facts in the case it is plain that competition is a good thing, and that there is a field for a club that will stand by the public with the same sense of re sponsibility assumed by any reputable theater.
