body to buv of home merchants, as
they seem to think, would be correct
in principle. We do it now without
protection and SO would the people
of this country without protection.
But if our merchants had a mon
opoly within certain limits and en-
HANGED the price of their goods ac-
cordingly; for if competition among
them was in danger of reducing
prices to Reputable basis, and they
formed trusts to prevent it, we
should then discover some of the
damning effects of Protection. In
addition, if we should find as the
people of this country have found,
that the system operated to shut up
within our selfish world all of our
surplus wheat, corn, meat, even our
manufactured goods, in consequence
of which our properly decreased in
value, poverty stalked abroad and
large numbers were idle for want of
work, we doubt very much if our
merchants could blind us as long as
the Plutocrats have hoodwinked
the. people of this country into a
course, the ssoIe benefit OF which
accrues to he-manutactnrers and no

MALONE SCORED.
A List Of Charges Made by the Anti
Mahoniteg.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 2-The following
report was adopted by the anti-Mahone
conference this morning before adjourn
ment:
1--WE, Republicans from all parts of Vir-
ginia, in conference assembled, declare that
William Malone: First, made it impossi-
bic for the Norfolk ticket to be elected;
second, he has deceived the national COM
mittee by a pretended compromise, the
conditions of which be has not only made
no effort to carry out but violated in letter
and spirit; third, he has taken from the
Republican party their plan of organiza-
ton, which was founded On the will of
the people; fourth, he has adopted
plau of organization of his own, which
is both hurtful and tyrannical: fifth, he
has driven from the councils OF the party
the sblest and most popular men in it,;
sixth, he has removed county chairmen In
order to pack conventions to do his will;
seventh, he has tried to enforce the unit
rule to carry delegates to the national con-
ventions to represent him and not the peo-
pie; eighth. he has refused TO abide by the
decisions of the national Republican party
in convention assembled: ninth, he has re-
fused to hear any grievances and treated
our overtures for peace with Contempt;
tenth, he has placed himself at the head
of ticket and called it Re
publican" without the consent of
the Republican masses; eleventh, he has
debauched the party aud made loyalty a
matter of merchandise: twelfth, he has
meddled with and in many instances die
tated county nominations: thirteenth, he
has forfeited his right to the confidence of
the people Of Virginia; fourteenth, that
the defeat of William Malone is essential
to the salvation of the Republican party;
fifteenth, that it is the sense of this confer
ence that no recommendation be made as
to the course TO be pursued either by the
memb ers thereof or those throughout the
state who are in sympathy with US, but
each voter on election day be advised to
take the action his individual judgment
approves, looking to the end we all have
in view -

There is no advice so commonly given TO

almost inevitably result in his lighting it in

be so great that he will be tempted to repair
it by the use of a too generous diet.
Most men who use their brains much soon
learn for themselves that the sense of physical
exaltation, the glow of exuberant health
which comes from body strung TO its full

not favorable to study. The exercise such
men need is the exercise that rests, not that
which tires. They need TO wash their brains

the present. administration and contrast
ing promises OF the Republican platform
with performances of the present admins

president for the admirable civil service
commission which he appointed and for
the support he accordS them, but state
that execution Of law Is seriously Ell
dangercd by the appointment as head Of
Offices OF men not in sympathy with the
Law or its purposes. The resolutions con-
denim the action of the president for hav-
ing abdicated bis power of appointment by
placing the appointments at the disposal
OF partisan leaders, thus enabling them to
debauch constituencies and control cleo
lions. The record u the administration in
regard to the railway mail service is severe
iy condemned, aud the resolutions find that
the pledge of the president that fitness aud
not party services should be the sole dis
eliminating test OF appointment is disre
gatded.

VARYING from 5000 to 10000.
ABERDEEN, S. D., Oct. 2.-Chairman c.
T. Mccoy of the Republican state central
committee, estimates this morning that
the Republican state ticket is elected by
about 10000 majority; that prohibition
carries from 10000 to 1900; that Pierre
has p, 600 votes for the temporary capital
with Huron a good second and Sioux
Falls third. Pierre will undoubtedly be
the temporary capital.
HURON, S. D., Oct. 2.-Everybody is
anxiously awaiting returns from yester-
DAYS election. Very little is known as to
actual figures. From the returns received
up to noon the indications are that
Huron's capital vote will aggregate 5000
and may reach $1,000. Huron is jubilent
and prohibition has 129 majority in this
city. Taylor, Democrat, received sixty
eight more votes than Westdhal, Republi-
can, for representative.
WASHINGTON ALL RIGHT
SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 2.-Returns from
over the state indicate that il is surely Re-
publican by about 1000 majority. The
Legislature is certain Republican probably
by twenty. The results in King and Kit
titas is yet in doubt, and if they go Re-
publican the majority for the party in
the legislature will be thirty-fve. The
Republicans have gained in every county
except these two. The Democrats are
claiming 20 have heavy gains in Seattle
but the Republicans are confident that
their ticket viii pull through all right.
The ticket is long and the count is slow.
VANCOUVER. Wash, Oct. lit is claim
ed at the headquarters of the Republi-
can state central committee that
the constitution will have 10000
majority: the Republicans state
ticket S, 600 to 10000 majority and the Dem
Gratis Will not elect more than twenty
members of the legislature out OF 105. All
places heard from report an enormous in
crease OF total votes.
HELENA, Mont. Oct. 1T is still impos-
sible to definitely determine the result Of
yesterdays election in Montana. Both
committees are claiming the state, but
general indications would seem TO favor
the Democratic claims. General Hauser
and other prominent Democrats say they
are sure of the success of their candidates
for governor and congress and that they
Will also have majority of the legislators.

ditures of the three quarters GOV

FEW FOR DEMOCRATS.
The New States Give the Republicans
tie Offices.

St PAUL, Mimi, Oct. 2.-In the Dakota
elections it was evident last night that
both the north and south states had given
a decisive majority for the Republican
ticket. The returns received TO-DAY simply
make certain what appeared to be the
case and give letter idea of the size of
the maJorities
For governor, John Miller, the Republi-
can candidate, received 5000 more votes

nominee. All returns yet received indi-
cate that the majority for II.

600 or more. There are twenty
Republicans. five Democrats and one In

aud ten Democratic representatives. are
elected, As shown by returns of twenty-siX
counties out of thirty-one.
A strong fight was made for district
iudeeShip. The Democrats used the argu-
ment of a nonpartisau Judiciary and the
result of that coupled with some good
nominations, is the election of haif of the
district judges. The new JUDGES are: First
district. G. K. Teppteton, Democrat; sec
end district. ID. E. Morgan, Repu blican;
;hird district ". Il. Mcdonnell Demo-
crat: fourth district, W. ). Lauder. Re-
publican; fifth district, ROderick Rose,
Dehocral; SlAtu uISGfiCU, w. H. W lHSOn,
Republican
The election of officers and congressman
in South Dakota cut rather a small
figure, the vote being acknowl-
edged to be onesided and
the contest for the location Of the capital
overshadowed all else. 1t is claimed that
even votes on prohibition were traded for
votes On the capital location ana that the
most thorough campaigning was as
chaff before the wind when the capital
question WAS mentioned. Pierre is proba-
bly, the lucky city.
MONTANA VERY CLOSE.
HELENA, Mont. Oct. 2-Returns are
coming in very slowly and the figures are
so close that the majorities will not be
much either way. The Democrats claim
the state by 30) To 800 and the Republicans
by $50 to LOCO. As rule the Democratic
legislative ticket IS running ahead but a
majority is Claimed by both parties.
