vote, than if they had raised big
purse. More voters will go home
this year than have gone at any
election, including Presidential, for
the last ten years, and it is the work
of the state associations that has
made them agree to do SO.
There is no disposition to brag at
the Congressional committee head
quarters, and no prophecies are
made as 10 the majority in the next
House of Representatives, but there
is a quiet confidence that the Re-
publicans will have good working
majority, that is infectious. Of one
thing am certain; if the republi-
can voters thro ughout the country
do their part on election day as well
as the committee has done its work
here, a great re publican victory will
be achieved on that day-one that
VIII give an impetus to the indus
tries of this country that will be
felt for decade.
Secretary Blaine has gone to
Ohio to make several speeches in
Ma jor McKinley's district, and al
though no programme had been
determined upon when he left here,
it is probable that he will speak at
several other places next week. He
has bad invitations by the hundred
since the campaign opened, but the
business of the State department is
in such condition that it seriously
incommoded him to accept any of
them, and nothing but his unswerv-
ing devotion to the republican party
and its principles has taken him
from Washington at this time.
It's a poor day now when a new
democrat ic "fake" about the Census
Office is not sent out on its travels.
OF course every sensible person
knows that the census was not a
perfect one-it would be impossible
to take a perfect one; but it was
better taken than any of its prede-
cessors and that the census bureau
is months ahead of the record in
giving out tabulated results, is
acknowledged by every one familiar
with the work.
The President has taken advan-
tage of temporary lull in his work
and the cool weather, to make ar
engagements for couple of days
'duck-shooting next week. The talk
of his calling an extra session of
Congress in November seems to
have all died out, and the impress
sion is general that none will be
called.
Secretary Noble has endorsed the
refusal of the Census bureau TO
order recount in New York city,
unless the original count is shown
to have been erroneous.
The Treasury department will be
prepared in week or ten days to
supply the great demand for one and
two dollar silver certificates. They
are now being printed.
THE howlings of Democratic ed
itors against the Mckinley bill are
strikingly inconsistent with the ad-
vertisements of merchants which
appear in the same papers and of
the same dates. For illustration we
take the following from the Prairie
du CHEN Courier of this week:
els there a person so dull of COM
prehension that he cannot under
stand how the Mckinley bill makes
him pay from Is to 200 per cent.
more for most everything he needs
of the necessaries of life, just let
him take a careful perusal of the
schedule of the new tariff law as
published in The Courier of last
week, and get his eyes opened
little"
In the same column with the
editors TRADE against the bill is the
following announcement, in reading
matter form, of one of the leading
firms of that city:
"McKinley bill has put up the price
of oats from Is to 35 cents per bu.
Wheat IS To 95 cts Potatoes from
