A MAaLY tJTTF RANGE Tho Mail will call attention to the manly communication pi u. u. nuuic, In mother column. As bo takes this view of tho matter, after Uio scprvy treatment ho received from certain ol his apponehts for which, however, the Mail does not consider Mr. Coko res ponsible, his late supporters can cer talnly afford to swallow their desap-j pointment and heartily support the nominee. Mr. Humo shows himself a man of larger caliber. than many of those who wero instrumental n aqcompllehjog his defeat. THE TICKET Tho ticket nominated at tho Coqnille City convention is a strong one. John S. Coke, who heads it, is n-qlean young man of marked ability, and tho other candidates ara nearly nil well and favor ably known tbroogbont the county. It may bo well, Lowever, for-Republi-cans to realise, at tbc start, that if thfy wish to elect their entire ticket they have their work 0 it ont for them. For somo onaccountablo reason the Democrats are picking up their feet as though tbey intended to really be in the race, aud "confidence" is a great thing. D Without specifying too cloiely, it may bo said that there wero things about the way the. convention was manipulated tho memory of which will not help to the success of the ticket nominated there, no matter bow good it is. There are cores to bo healed and animotitioa to bo quieted, which need never havo been made or' oronecd. For this, the gentlemen who have places on the ticket were not responsible and ought not to bo .blamed, but the fact that they exist will Lot help elect our candidates. It is now np to tho Re publicans who' pre influential with the rank aud fllo'of tho voters to bring them nto liiyj in supi ort el a ticket that is good from top fo bottom. AFTKB THE CONVENTION It is to be hoped that tbo vanquished delegates will mako plpw&hares and brutihdiooks of their political guns and eworda now that the war is over, Tho work is about complete all but olectlng.tho ticket named and no one doubts that there will bo a most ex peditions ratification on election day Ourtfoket lea good' one, sound aa a dollar and need not wait to ,got its necond. wind .'to wipe tho.'Peinoratic warridfa out of tbo race, It' has run- ping ualttlfja and will 'bo' properly . . . i ' '" ' ' ' uroomed. . . . . i..1 ,",'.. .:.:, mul tuil U& U tbe dtf: ' !

It is there that animal spirit And vent in heathfnl sport, tvhlch sends tho blood coursing freely through thoein, while tho (alt water and fresh sea br eetes tan the cheek and re j'jvenato tho whole frame, blow tbc cob webs of worry and prebaps of dissipa tion out 0! the brain and give the tired Torkcr or reveler saner views of lifo and strength for its battles. Bat certain women of tho W. C. T. U. look at a eceno like this nnd are moved to shame. They cannot think of the sexes bathing together at seailde resorts without feeling a suggestion ol indrcency. They cannot po'asibly think of themselves, for example, In a bathing suit in a mixed assembly in the surf without a certainty that tbey nnd their malo companions wonld bo taken up, not with Innocent pleasures, but with impnre imaginings, which they charac terize in resolutions as "vile, revolting aud corrupt." It la a pitiful revelation ot an uneaey mind. At the risk ot being indelicate, we have spoken plainly. Unto tho prude, all things are lascivious. We can tell these good women, for they ore eood in Fpite of their malady, that im mortality does not Inrk in the ocean plunge, in tbo open air amid tho gayty of a laughing crowd, half so much as in the quietude of solitary walka or the oppressiveness of heated rooms or the workings of a diseased Imagination. Take a swim, eiuter; forget your dreams 0! unworthy desires and get tome color in your cheeks. Then yon will want the eeaeido throngs and they will want you.
