He went on to say The master motive in
buying and selling is-money. Not because men
love lucre, but because money stands for the COM

engaged in business to make money; not to

buy your goods where you can make money by
saving it; for dollar saved is dollar earned.

SOS, shows which way: "There isn't any
more doubt that J. Sloat Fasset will be
the next Governor of New York than
that the tides will continue to flow and
ebb. The fight is one of the whole peo-
pie against Tammany Hall, and hun
dreds of democrats will vote against

Tammany's odious bossism. That is the

ment from the democratic National
committee They are going to rid the

surprised if Fassett's majority reached

The democrats are not doing much
talking about the Speakership just now.
They are waiting for the Ohio election
to give them a pointer. If Mckinley is
elected, and there is no reason for think
log otherwise, it will kill off Mills as a
candidate for Speaker. as it will be rec
ognized as a verdict by the people
against free trade, which is the corner
stone of Mills political creed, and some
man will be selected for Speaker who is
more moderate in his tariff views. The
Speaker, it must be remembered has 1t
in his power to absolutely control the
legislation of the house, by making up
the important committees in accordance
with his own ideas Should Mckinley
be defeated; Mills. free trade, free coin
age and free whisky will be in supreme
control of the democratic party coun-
ellis, both in Congress and in the Presi-
Dental campaign.
