There have been good many rumors
here about Mr.. ConklIng coming into the
campaign. A reporter says: ~ met to-
night a political friend OF the Ssalwatt
leader on the Republican State Commit

in these rumors.
"Therei Is modicum oil truth and good
deal OF fiction in these stories about Mr..

The replies are exceedingly refreshing.
They show decided change in the opin-

could best promote the temperance cause
by putting Democrats in power. Rev. DR..
BALDWIN, pastor Of the first baptist Church
OF Troy, writes that it would be positive
calamity to put the Democratic party in
power. Rev. Samuel Cox, d. D pastor
oi the Episcopal Church at Newtown,
writes that ths prohibition movement. as

the liquor business. Rev, DR.. StocSwell,
