Converts to ProtectI0n-Out for Harrt-

 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Last Saturdays Union contained conspio- uous article about young man, formerly 8 Republican, who wandered into the Demo- cratic headquarters and was converted in few moments to the doctrines of Cleveland and Thurman. Perhaps they don't realize that the Republican cause is also receiving converts. will cite few examples that have come under my notice within few days.
 MT. A., 8 mechanic by oceu patton, has al- ways been Democrat, but after considerable consideration decided that protection instead of free trade was the proper way to maintain the pleasant home which his daily wages had bought for him. He has left the Democratic party and sent in an application to the Young Mems Republican club.
 Mr. B., commercial traveller for one of the largest four mills in the West, was here few days ago and said: ''I travelled q good ways to vote at the last election, but shall not do it this year. I've had enough of Cleve- land and reform. There are hundreds of people that voted this way last year but won't do it again. They don't want any free trade in their affairs"
 Mir. O., a salesman for one of the largest collar and cuff houses in Troy, N. Y., says: cone of the best manufactories in my town lost a customer in Philadelphia who had bought $30, ,000 worth of goods annually of them. The reason was that German and French goods could be bought less on ac- count of the low price of labor in these coun- | tries. Labor here was higher paid and could ! not compete with the foreign article. So the great majority of Troy collar and cuff work | men are for Harrison and Morton and good \ wages"

 NEW YORK, Sept. 16,-George W. Wilson, who has been the most intimate friend and neighbor of Prof. Proctor in Florida. arrived here yesterday with Mrs. Proctor. He thinks that the professors case was badly mismsn- aged by the New York health authorities. To 8 Tribune reporter he said: "whsther Professor Proctor had yellow fevsr-which do not believe-or not, consider that his death was hastened if not caused by his re- moval from the Westminster Hotel The professor and have lived at Oak Lawn Fla, e healthful place, mora than q hundred miles from any infected district.
