Why Quay Is SleepIess.

New York Herald. H's'
1t leaked out in Republican national
circles yesterday that one of,the pre-
disposiIg causes of Senator Matt"
Quay'S insomnia was the refusal of
certain Pennsylvania protectionists to
hand over large sum of money which
had been subscribed as. sinews of war
for the campaign. ss.l -.
There is now on hand more than
100000 in cold cash, contributed by the
iron and steel men of the Keystone
state alone, for the election of Harrison
and Morton. This money is said to be
deposited in a Philadelphia bank. and
is ready to be placed where it will do
the most good.
But the iron and steel men gave it
upon the condition that its distribution
be made by a finance committee of their
own, which shall be neither part nor
parcel of the Republican national com
mittee. Il is also intimated that while
many of these protectionists admire Mr..
Quay's political sagacity and his faculty
for manipulating local elections, they
prefer to have hand and a voice in the
distribution OF their own money.

Rush City Post.
The state convention was remarkable for
the manner in which Boodler Merriam
carried it. 1t is safe to say he had not one
third the delegates when it convened, but
that they were bought up one at "a time until
he had majority. Open house was kept in
the GiIfillan block, where Merriams checks
were signed in blank apd delegates were
asked to fill in such sums as their conscience
would permit and draw the money. These
charges have been made and substantiated
But the nomination did not end the flow of
money. Ever since there has been one con-
tinual stream OF money from the same source
for the purpose of corrupting the people.

Two Deaths in MINNEAPOLIS.

The fair at Turner hall, Minneapolis,
was interrupted in an unexpected man.
ner about 9:15 o'clock last evening. The
hall was filled with guests, when Mrs.
Godfrey BOehme, residing at 1917 Ram
sey street northeast, who was
sitting at a table with some
friends, suddenly uttered an excla-
nation of pain and fell to the
floor unconscious. A physician was
summoned, but his services were not
needed, as the woman was dead when he
arrived. The body was taken bone in
hack. 1t is supposed that heart dis
ease caused her death.

of the errors made, however, are due to

a newspaper copy" far more
accurate than the first proof of his own
leader submitted by the printer. The
quantity of news transmitted is cnOr-
