ing TO his safe states the same critical
tests that have been used 10 making up

column becomes SO small rs to be almost
ridiculous, II Is remarkable fact that
the states which are conceded TO Harri-
son without any doubt whatever, with
out any risk that the acoidents Of the
campaign will take any of them away
are only five in number. They are
Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, Penn
sylvania and Oregon. Their electoral
votes number fifty. OF course there
are many others states which Harrison

block OF FIVE comprises the only ones TO
whose election news his managers will
not turn with shade Of anxiety on
their faces two weeks hence.
FIGHTING CHANCES ELSEWHERE.
There is not another state in which

is impOssible-in which a little more
Republican apathy than is counted
| upon, q little deeper running of the
current of disgust with McKinleyism
than is apparent on the surface, might
not turn the tide. For instance, New
Hampshire and Massachusetts,, though
counted for Harrison by Democratic
managers, are in such condition that
surprises may occur in either or both Of
them. Ohio is given TO Harrison, too,
but there are Democratic observers who
hope and Republican observers who
fear the result in that state Wash
ington is given TO Harrison, though he
has by no means a certainty OF carrying
it. Counting as safely for Harrison

The electoral college consists of 444

Cleveland will ON this basis lack IS
votes OF tho required number and Har-
rison 100. With 2S6 votes accredited
to the two candidates, 1853 remain to be
assigned. IL is a,notewOrthy fact that
with New York and Indiana counted for
Cleveland, more than one-third OF the
electoral votes are in doubt Those
who choose 10 regard New York and

What is likely to become Of this long
list of electoral votes2 How will they
be divided between the two candidates?
1t would take more than finite mind TO
answer in detail and with confidence.
The great point is that to win the cleo
tion Harrison must carry away from
both Cleveland and Weaver all but
thirty-six Of these votes. If he carry
all but thirty-seven OF them he will
fail and the election will go TO the
house.
A DISTINCTION WITH DIFFERENCE
What the national campaign man
ayers in this city say for publication
and what they say privately are often
widely different. Nor do the managers
know how these states will vote. They
think they do as TO the most Of them,
but in the nature OF things, even with
their wide information, they can only
estimate and approximate. AS to a
number OF these states, one finds the
rival managers in general agreement
Taking certain states named above,
both Republicans and Democrats viii
admit that, while they are more or less
doubtful states, the probabilities are
they will go this way or that, some to
Cleveland, some TO Harrison and others
to Weaver. In this way the conserve
tive managers on both sides, the ex-
perlenced politicians who know what
they are about, and who have the
habit of facing facts instead OF amusing
themselves with pictures, subdivide
the foregoing list OF doubtful states
| somewhat as follows.

Sho Meant to have Music,

A stage heroine, who happened at
the'same time to be an able executant
on.the piano, had to play after night the
same part at a popular theatre. She
anxiously longed.to give the audience
q specimen of her musical abilities,
but her part in the performance az
forded no opportunity for such a
display CT her powers.
Her inventive genius came to the
rescue, and she discovered a place in
the action where pianist and heroine
might 60 hand in hand. When the
curtain rose, revealing the desert of
Black Mountains, the spectators be-
held, to their astonishment, a
splendid grand piano placed at the
foot OF the rocks.
The heroine, with the haste OF one
who is pursued, climbed down the
rocky path, stopped enraptured at the
sight of the piano, and exclaimed:-
"'The savages have burned down
our cottage, murdered my father and
mother, and driven away our cattle;
but, heaven be praised, they have left
me my piano. Music shall comfort
mein my distress, and ifthe ladies and
gentlemen permit l will play a short

that a number of former employees returned

doubled the guard around the mill
and in the streets adjacent thereto.
That the back bone of the strike has been
broken is Acknowledged by every one save
the members OF the advisory COMMITTEES n
the more radical unionists. Tonight Supt.
Potter said to a reporter:
Altogether sixty of our former employees have
returned to work, and we have been informed
that many more will make application for their
old places. Twenty seven OF our old men came
in to-day. Twenty-four of them found their
places still open. but the Others. l am sorry to
say, were disappointed. But while they cannot
step into the positions they gave up q month
ago, these men will be given work.

work late. At the beginning oflast

Of Vicksburg, Miss. where I got we'll
drenched in a shower Of rain. I
went home and was soon afterseized
with-a dry, hacking c0agns This
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief. Iconsulted DR.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to get a bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and I caught that also
very severely. My. condition then
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottles of German Syrup. /
began using them, and before taking
much Of the second bottle, I was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me so long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. Ifelttip-top and
