CLOSING PRICES or PHILADELPHIA STOCKS

FRIDAY, Jan. ls-P. ".

FRIDAY, JAM Ic-f' NJ
To-day's stock market, after the early dealings,
was 4 little mOre than record of transactions that
had their origin and end in a system of matched
orders to buy and sell stocks at the same figures;
al least that is the opinion almost universally eK
pressed by close and conservative observers of the
market Early prices generally showed some i'm
provrIneuts on Yesterdays last figures; but what
ever there was Of genuine demand, either 70
short" contracts or for turn the 4" long" side,
was 50 freely met that the Improvement, which was
Of short duration, was followed by sharp de-
cline; later by dulness, and later still-after .
o'clock-by rapid recovery. OF the total
transactions OF 3s4 800 shares, Western
Union furnishes a record of 7G,500 shares; the
stock opened at 73 against 1919 last evening and,
with an unusual amount of business steadily de-
clined to 7l14; a rally to 72G724 followed, at
about which figures the record shows large transac
tons, and later there was a rapid advance to 1888
with an ending at 1914. Tuc rumor, which had a
mysterious origin, to the effect that a syndicate
had purchased 100000 shares of the stock at 40,
had some effect in the late dealings; but he rumor
is positively denied in quarters that cannot be mis-
taken in the facts Union Pacific opened up y at
75 and after selling down TO 1885 aud recovering
TO 75 finally closed at 7424; that stock was second
in amount of recorded observation-disclosures shares.
St. Paul with record of 80, 200 shares, was third
it opened up l. at 50, sold at s77s, and ended
at $50. There is good deal of talk

"oLD OK HEART" HYPocRvrEs

Our esteemed contemporary makes a loving
ado over its model, moral and political hero
Dave Payne, calling him such endearing
names as '0ld Ok Heart" The Demo.
nratic party of Sedgwick county seemi
equally infatuated. They axe loud for the
boomers, and louder in denouncing the In.
dian leases TO the cattle men. The Eagle
has pronounced this howl pure clap trap
and buncombe, aud TO prove the insincerity
Of these prosecutions made by the Demo-
Gratis in public meeting in Wichita We have
only to cite the people to the fact that
right upon the heels of these actions those
same Democrats turned right around and
nominated man for the Legislature who
spent the winter and spring in Washington
in trying 10 secure just such lease. The
matter no; vet being entirely consummmat-
ed, they howl against the government for
permitting these leases, out Of one corner Of
their mouths and out of the other corner
hurrah man into place where he can the
more surely command the power to consum.
mate just such q lease But nobody appears
sstonished at such Inconsistencies coming
from the Democrats They are only on a
par with the further action OF their late con-
vention in which they nominated renegade
Republicans, anti-monopolists, Democr ats
and Greenbaekers, all in a lump, and then
asked the Democrats Of the county TO swal-
low the whole meas as purely Democratic.
In endorsing Mr.. Grifinstein for the legisla-
ture, they gave the lie to their rink resolu-
tons. and in fact, to their platform. Payne
is either right or wrong, but however that
may be, there can be no mistake about the
sedgwick county Democratic party being
wrong, for they endorse both. Payne, who
is against the cattle men and their leases,
and Gritinstein who is openly in favor Of
leases

FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR

The day following the nomination off X.
Holiday, of Topeka, on the Democrat tick
e.. tho Eagle called attention TO the fact that
the nomination Of Col. Holiday, who is the
largest railroad owner, resident of this State.
was proof positive that the assertion that
Click and his clique had been backed by
that interest, even if Clicks policy during
the session ofthe Legislature did not prove it.
We also called attention 10 the fact which
the papers have been slow to take up, and
that is tina; as Lieut.. Governor he would be
chairman Of the board whose duty it Is to
assess all railroad property in the State, and
and not only that, but, the chairmen Of the
Senate committees under the jurist rules are
chairnen of the joint committees of the two
Honses, which senate chairmen and which
Senate committees he would appoint Can
anybody fail to sec what the election of the
Democratic ticket would mean Holiday

Mr.. DORSEY. ANSWER.

To The Editor Of the Daily Ecgi.:
The position that Mr.. Dorsey will take in
relation TO certain matters of public concern
If he is elected senator and to what his views
are At present and as to what they have been
in the past, upon issues in which the public
are interested and also as to the part he took
in the late Republican senatorial convention
are all being discussed, guessed at, spccuat-
ed upon, all over the county.
Now as it is generally understood that Mr..
Dorsey is an earnest and sincere man, hon.
est in his purposes, bold and aggressive in
his makeup and self sacrificing and true in
his friendship, never having deserted his
friends who had helped him, having no de-
ceit in his nature, an being an enemy of po-
liticsl schemes, jobs and tricks. We have
no doubt but what he will answer the follow
ing questions and through his widely circu-
lated Journal set the matter at rest.
Mr.. Dorsey, did you vote for the constitu-
tional amendment.
What prompted you to do it,
When did you first advocate resubmis-
sion?
Did you not try to secure a sufficient
number Of delegates in the late Republican
senatorial convention SO that you could pre-
vent the nomination of Kelley or Gillett a nd
thereby force your own nomination.
viii you vote for Blame and Logan.
If elected will you vote for Republican
for United States senator
Are you in favor of controlling railroad
freights by legislature.
VIII you vote for Holiday for lieutenant
governor
Will you vote for and did you not dictate
the county ticket as put up by the Times

A source of considerable speculation and
conjecture by sewing machine men in gen.
eral is: why is it that the canvasser sell
ing New Davis Machines can go out and sell
from five to seven, and even more machine:
per week, while the canvasser for other ma.
chiues considers himself doing well when he
accompiishes the sale of two or three ma
chimes per week." This is very easily an
swered. 1t is not because the Davis is sold
lower than any other, for the price is from
five to ten dollars higher than that of any
other machine in the market; but it is be-
cause it possesses many advantages over any
other, prominent among them being the YER
teal feed, an improvement which, in point
of superiority, no other machine can APP
proach. By the feed improvement all kinds
of sewing, even the most difficult trimming,
is made in the most perfect manner without
the necessity of ever basting. Its attach
ments are SO simple, many of them working
automatically, that any lady, possessing but
a slight knowledge of running machine,
can execute every variety of household sew
ing upon the Davis, with an ease and rapid
ity impossible with any other machine.
