THE BATTLE BRISK ALL ALONG
THE LINES.


Mckinley. Lodge, and QUAY on Trial
Farmers Alliance In the West-Tzm-
many's Struggle In New York-The
Country at Large.
Though in all Of these United States Radi-
calism is on trial, in some particular por-
tions the ablest opponents Of that mon-
strosity are having their own particular
tIials.
Reed has been acquitted by methods best
known to residents Of the Biddeford district
and other parts of Maine, Quay is seeking
yindcation through Delamater in Penns, J.
yania, Lodge in the Sixth district Of Massa-
chusetts, and Mckinley in the Eighteenth
district OF Ohio. II there was not danger
Of a packed jury, ihe result in every case
could be foretold.
OF SPECIAL INTEREST.
The points Of special interest in the cam
paign outside OF the South are Massachu-
setts, New York. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wis
cOnsin. Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota and
Colorado.
MASSACHUSETTS.
Henry Cabot Lodge announced some
weeks ago that the Tariff bill was a dead
issue and was endea, Orng to explain the

people of Massachusetts were, just at
that time, discussing Il question which they
felt was affecting their homes, their wives
and their little ones in most serious man

William Everett is making such vigorous
inroads upon him that frenzy has seized
upon him. Lodge bill, Mckinley bill sink
into insignticance when Lodge feels
that perhaps he may not return
to Congress, and that thereby his
waning chances Of being the sue

ished. The people of Massachusetts have
long been noted Tor their thrift and keen
scent Of the dollar. They are learning

that the Republican party will lose from

As effective as any one thing which has
been said or done in this campaign has
been the speech of Carl SchurS, OF New
York. before the Mass lchusetts Reform
Club last week. The German voters are
staunch admirers of the distinguished eX-
senator, and there are thousands of them

everywhere the speech has made a profound
impression, aud will make many votes for
the Democracy.
The registration has been very heavy all
over the Commonwealth, and this is causing
the Republicans much anxiety.
The Democrats are morally sure of chOOs-

with six, and perhaps seven Congressman.
NEW YORK,
All the enemies OF their country are

Democracy. The ight is being carried on
vigorously. and the keenest politicians are

terest iult in the South ~ the result Is not
because this election j. related 10 the Presl-

the Force bill and the Mckinley hill threat

country il Is absolutely necessary
for every Democratic vote to be
