first staunch supporter of Mr. Clevc
land in tho Convention of 1884, and as
the latter has become known all over tho
country as model of political purity
the former has established a similar rcp,l-
tation in his own State. Col. Earle has
for many years been a successful farmer
though his personal attention was given
to the practice of law, and those who
know him best testify to the intensity
with which he sympathizcs with the
farming fraternity in their efforts to re-
licve themselves of the burdens unjustly
laid upon them. Col. Earle is q pure
man and intellectually tho strongest
available man in tho State. He is deep
thinker and Il statesman of the first order,
impervious to the effects of enthusiasm
and factional clamor. His whole head is
a bump of justice and he is the man tho
people want Let us put him where he
ought to be in this cmergcncy-in the

NEW YORK, April 14.-Stocks today were
stronger and more active than usual of late, and
material improvement was made in all portions
of the list. The great feature of the day was
the improvement of the Western railroad situa-
tion, and the growing feeling that an early set
tlement of difficulties in that section was near
satisfactory solution. The upward movement
was practically uninterrupted, and only
in the last hour was anything ike
a halt. Rock Island, Missouri Pacific,
Burlington, st. Paul and Lackawanna were
most prominent in the dealings, and in
those shares the most important move
ments were made 1t was freely stated upon
the street today that J. Pierpont Morgan's de-
parture for Europe had for one of its objects the
placing of about $4O,OOO,0OO OF various rail
