| MY head feels full, and my lower limbs
tremble. 1t will soon be over, and j
shall have fsthomed the great mystery.
I will come to you, doctor, or advise you
as learn now. The light begins to fade
Oh, thou Divine Fatherl I have taken
the life thou gsvest me, but, trusting to
thy mercy, 1 60 without fear"
In the letter was mentioned a rose
given to the suicide by Pauline, and
which he desired to be buried with him.
The little faded flower, with single ger
anium leaf, was found inclosed between
two pieces of adhesive plaster, on which
was written "Semper Fidele" and "Pau-
line. to thee GOMEZ In the torn &C
count-book the following was written II
pencil: "For family reasons, / have omit
ted signing my name, and also destroyed
everything that would have revealed 1t
l don't care for my body, tor my spirit,
my very self, be at rest in the arms OF my

sister, may inquire for me. Preserve q

On another leaf was written: "That

save trouble to those acting in an official
capacity, say that l have taken two
deadly poisons. Kind people, think as
lenieRtly of me as possible; have moth

ty physician sent Geographic dispatch
to the doctor TO whom the letter was adj
dressed, and at night telegram was re-
ceived from DR.. Thayer, of Portland,
Me-, giving the name of the suicide as
Claude l.. Avenstine, of the United
States navy, and that he left wife In
Portland. DR.. Thayer's dispatch also
contains request that the body may be
kept for few days, when friends will ar

On the the other hand take the Demo.
cratic estimate for four years, even II 1t Is
not further reduced, and it toots up 500

Let us hear, then, the conclusion OF the
whole matter Despite all laws and en-
actments against bribery of voters, we
say to every head of q family: Vote the
Democracy into power and we VIII pay
you directly in four years S7O.554. How
many days work is that2 How many
pairs OF shoes? How many yards of cal
leo and flannel? How many pounds OF
meat and loaves of bread?
We say nothing here of the indirect
stying which will accrue from the
triumph of the Democratic principle OF
Free Trade. These results are not 50
easily seen, vastly greater though they
are. We do not say-though we might
that a Democratic victory means that
the seamstress's spool of thread shall con-
tain 400 yards, and the laborer's day come
down to seven hours, and the farmers
bushel hold five pecks. This lies in an
outer demesne. We say it will beso, and
sdduce good reasons for saying SO, but
our antagonists deny it, and consider
their assertion as good as our demonstra-
ton.
But about the figures we give to day
there can be no question. They show
what the Republicans wanted to do, what
we would fain have done, what we have
done in the face of opposition. This is
Campaign supplement that tells. Let
Democratic papers and speakers circulate
it; give it to the laborer, the mechanic
and the farmer, and when next Novem.
