American Turf Congress.

New York, Nov. lG.-The ses.
sion of the American Turf Con
gress was continued to-day. The confer

Eastern clubs with whom they talked yes.

der the report of their proceedings. An
informal agreement of llS pounds for 3
year olds and 1913 pounds for 3-year.olds
will probably be adopted and made final.
Yesterdays conference was secret and
whatever was agreed upon, however, is not
final as but one Eastern committeeman,
Philip Dryer, had full power to act for
his club. The others have placed the
matter before their executive committees
and if they agree to stand by this decision
the representatives Of the committee will
so report and the plans adopted at the
conference will be made laws by the con
v%ertion. Besides the weight question,
they agreed to appoint two collectors of
f]orfeits, one for the East and the other
for the West. The plan for licensing
jockeys provoked hot discussion which was
not settled and will be taken up to-day,
Nearly all the delegates appear to be in
favor Of this, but are divided in opinion as
to the method of so doing.

GOIng Down Hill,

There are more ways than one of going
down hill. Besides rolling over a preci-
plce, rushing down a toboggan slide and
other methods, you may. if you neglect
to rectity an erratic digestion. discipline
a rehellious liver, and restore a regular
habit of the bowels, rapidly descend an
incline whose bottom is the grave. A fail
ure in yigor, impairment of the appetite.
troubled sleep, loss OF flesh and mental
energy-these are the infallible indica-
tons that show decay, and ought to sug-
gest repair. The finest, surest, pleasant
est means of repairing physical energy is
Hostetter' Stomach Bitters. Where the
mineral poisons and weak apretizers tail,
this potent botanic invigorant succeeds.
Whether ieebleness is the attendent of
disease, inherent in the constitution. or
the companion ..ot cOnvalescence, often
very slow after wasting maladics, the
Bitters has ever proved a reliable means
of r%emedying it. through the medium of
improved digestion. The Bitters cure

Gen. CIark's Estimates.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Gen. John
B. Clark, Jr.. clerk OF the house of repre-
s~entatives, believes that 100 Democratic
representatives have been elected and
that six districts are in doubt. This cal
c~ulation is based on the assumption that
Wilson (Dem.) is elected from West Vir-
ginia. The doubtful districts, in Gen.
Clark's estimation, are first California,
tenth Kentucky, second North Carolina
and first, third and fourth of West Vir-
ginia. These districts he has down as
doubtful. because they are claimed by
both parties and the majorities are so
snail that the official count must to
awaited to determine the result. In the
case of Representative Bacon (Dem.) of
New York, who is reported to have been
defeated by eighty majority, Gen. Clark
expects a contest will ensue. Of one
thing he is confident, and that is hat the
majority In the next house will not be five
either way.
Relative to the functions of the clerk
in the organization of the new house and
the power he is supposed to be able to
exercise In seating or unseating members,
Gen. Clark says his duties are fixed by
statute and are purely ministerial. 1t a
member elect presents the proper certif-
cate of election his name will be placed on
the roll and not otherwise. There can
not be duplicate certificates, because
there are at present no dual state govern
ments as there have been in times past in
the South. Gen. Clark said that from
the official records before him the Repub-
licans had elected a majority of one in the
next house and this was because up to the
present time but one certificate had been
presented to him, namely, that of Repre-
sentative Herman of Oregon. The GER
tlicates are usually a long time coming
on as it is not issued until some time
after the official returns are made public.
In the case of Missouri this does not
take place until January, and in many
other states the date is equally remote
from election day. The claims of both
parties to very narrow margins of from
three to five or six suggests an interesting
possibility, when it is remembered that no
less than SIX persons who we're elected to
the fiftieth congress died either before
they had been sworn in or after they had
taken their seats, and that there is a
strong probability that there will be some
deaths among the 1926 men of mature
years during that long period, the thir-
teen months, intervening between election
day and the assembling of the new con-
C~cs-

More Chinese.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l6.-The collector
Of customs at San Francisco reports to the
treasury department the arrival Of a vessel
with a number of Chinese from Seattle.
The vessel touched at Victoria and the
collector inquiries if that fact makes their
landing at San Francisco unlawful under
the terms Of the Chinese exclusion act.
The treasury department declines to issue
any Instructions in the matter and leaves
it entirely to the discretion of the col.

A Drunken Fiend.

WALLINGFoRD. Conn, November 16.
-Solon G. Jenkins, formerly a prosper
u merchantbut gone to the dogs through
drink, last night shot and killed his
father-in law, Stephen Anthony, aged
sixty. He threatened all the rest of the
family with death. He was locked up.
Angry citizens threaten to lynch him.

No Longer the Pivotal State.

WASHINGTON: Nov. Lett is said the
reason Senator Quay and other leading
Republicans are so anxious to secure the
electoral vote of West Virginia is because
they want to elect Mr.. Harrison without
the aid of New York in the electoral col
lege. New York has dominated two ad-
ministrations, and has only had to ask
for anything to get it. The Republicans,
luckier than the Democrats, want to prove
that the G. o. p. is not the tail of New
York's kite, and thereby to discount the
tremendous pressure that will be brought
TO bear on them from the Empire state.
Boss Quay has been in Washington for
several days and will probably remain
here until congress meets, except for a few
days that may be spent in New York
winding up election affairs. He is taking
tnlngs easy, but keeping an eye on West
Virginia, which is getting altogether too
close to suit him.
The Republican League has given him
a room on the top floor of their club
house, and he spent some time there
yesterday talking over Harrison's ~inaugu-
ration, which it is proposed to make out.
shine even that of President Cleveland in
1885. If Senator Quay was anything
like worn out, as was stated Just before
election, his recuperative powers are equal
TO his ability to keep his own counsel.
The grip with which he greets his friends
is firm and strong, and there is nothing
about him to indicate a man whose nerves
are shattered from overwork. The one
thing which he fears is consumption.
This disease has carried off many mem
bers of his family. and the Republican
political manager guards himself carefully
against it. His sou, a young lieutenant
OF cavalry, stationed across the river at
Fort Myer, is in rather poor health, and
this increases the senator's alarm.

On January 18th President Cleveland
appointed Edward S. Bragg, of Wiscon-
sin, as Minister to Mexico. Mr.. Bragg
is the man who, when Tammany OPP
posed the nomination OF Cleveland at
the Chicago Convention of 1884 sup
ported the President. using the words
1--WE love him for the enemies he has
made" Since the election Of Cleve-
hand Dame RuInor has associated the
name of Bragg with almost every Office
to be filed by the President. He was
at one time prominently mentioned for
European mission. His appointment
to the portfolio of Mexico receives gen.
ernl appreciation aud he will doubtless
represent us better than his immediate
predecessors.
Edward s. Bragg is a resident of
Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, and was born
in New York, February 90. 1927. He
studied law and WAS admitted to the
bar in New York in 184S. He began
practice at Fond du Lnc, Wisconsin, in
1890; was elected District Attorney in

PRESIDENT CLEvELAND'S
LETTER.

We present to our readers
this morning President Cleve-
lands letter OF acceptance in
full. Like his recent mes
sage" it is based on facts and
conditions which confrontus :
Mr.. Cleveland points out clear
ly the way to better our con
dition and offers a remedy that
no thoughtful. unprejudiced
mind can but acknowledge a
good onea remedy whichif the
people Of this great country
will allow to be applied will be
found a positive cure for all
of our financial ailments. His
argument that the large sur
plus now in our National Trea-
sury justly belongs to the peo-
pie and the hording Of these
millions diminish our circula-
ting medium and effect alike
the manufacturer and laborcr
are as true as gospel. He
makes a bold stand for free
raw material and as in every
thing he advocates, gives a
good reason for it. His let
ters shows thoughtfulncss
andis statesmanlike in its utter
ances. We commend it to
the readers Of the MESSENGER;
be they Democrats, Repub-
licans. or Prohibitionists, as a
document well worthy Of their
careful pcrusal.
Democratic messenger., 1888-09-15
THE PRESS ON THE LETTER.

The comments Of the press
on MIR. Clcvcland's letter of
acceptance are. of course, col
ored by the prcjudices of con-
victions of the various papers,
but none of them fail to apprc-
ciate the fact that it is a docu-
ment to be gravcly consider
ed as a factor in the present
campaign. Nothingmeaning
less or perfunctory ever comes
from Mr.. Cleveland. When
he writes or speaks friend and
foe alike give heed to his
words.
The Republican papers dif-
fer about the messagc,as they
appear to differ about every
thing else. The Philadelphia
Press says that Mr.. Cleveland
has modified his tone, but
not his opinions. "llc stands
where he did" The Cincin-
natl Commercial Gazette thinks
that all the president says
about the surplus is mere
surplusage," which is an emf
nently Republican way of look
ing at the matter. The Bos-
ton Ton,wai regards the letter
as a piece OF ''incongruous
patchwork" while the Ad9ey-
hser regards it as "labored
explanation of the Presidents $
message"
The Democratic and tariff
reform papers are delighted.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says:
There is no shadow of waver-
ing, no suspicion ofweakness. ="
The Boston Herald sees in the
Presidents letter "a splendid
presentation Of the claim of
his party to popular sup
port" while the Boston Pest
thinks its most striking feat
ure is ''its consistency with the
Presidents previous utteran-
ces."
The Philadelphia Lcdge,, a
high-tariff paper, compliments
the letterfor its vigorous and
lucid style" and isgratified to
find that Mr.. Cleveland did
not delay its publication in
order to hedge.
