SOME OPINIONS.
A Review Of the Situation From y Repub-
lican Standpoint.

A Review of the Situation From Repub-
lican Standpoint.
NEW YORK, Oct. "a. The CONNER
cial Advertiser publishes review OF the
Republican situation throughout the
country and especially in the doubtful
states, by the national and state leaders.
Chairman Carter, of the Republican ma
tional committee refers to the quietness
of thecampaign, attributes it to the care
full study on the part of the people, of the
issue at slake. and from that draws the
conclusion that the vote for Harrison
will be very full, and that he will be
elected. New York state politics are
covered by Chairman Brookfield of the
Republican state committee, and Chair
man Hackett, of the New York state
executive committee. Both express
confidence in Republican success in the
Empire state and give as reason the
great efforts that have been made to
get out the entire Republican vote on
the registration days and the constant
attention that has been given to voters.
A significant dispatch was sent by r.
A. Mosely, chairman of the Republican
state committee Of Alabama, who has
just received the Endorsement Of the
Republican national committee. Mr..
Mosely. while saying that>there is no
Republican ticket before the Alabama
people, claims that the Lakeview elect
oral ticket which has been put up by the
Jeffersonian or DeKalb branch of the
Democracy, will be elected by genuine
plurality of $4,000. He estimates DEM
ocratic frauds at $4,000, and thinks it
certain that the eleven electoral votes Of
the state will be cast for Harrison.
Joseph H. Manley. Of Maine, member
Of the executive committee Of the Re-
publican national committee, gives a
rather encouraging account of the situa-
tion in Indiana. He says that the con-
test will be very close, but expects Har-
risen to win on local issue Of taxes,
caused by the action Of the Democrats,
and In 30 rearranging the tax levy
that q greater burden now falls
upon the farmers who, Mr.. Manley
thinks, will in consequence vote for
Harrison. Franklin Murphy, chairman
Of the Republican state committee Of
New Jersey, speaks confidently of the
election Of the Republican candidate
for governor, John Kean, Jr., but has
not 20 much TO say Of the success OF the
Republican national ticket. Senator O.
Fl. Platt, Of Connecticut, claims the
Nutmeg state for Harrison and the state
chairmen OF Wisconsin and West Vir-
ginia are equally confident. The utter
ances Of Mr.. Carter and OF Mr.. Brook
field are couched in careful language
and they make no secret Of their opinion
that the fight in the nation and in New
York state particularly viii be close.

QUINCY, Ills. Oct. 24,-The notorious
Madame Disdebar Is again before the
public. Disdebar, or, as she is now
called, Vera Ava, went 10 Elgin last
winter with man who claimed to be
her agent. She ingratiated herself into
the good graces of Mrs. John Mitchell,
whose husband had committed suicide a
few months previously. A month ago
Vera Ava reappeared there and stopped
with Mrs Mitchell giving seances. The
day of the alleged theft Mrs. Mitchell
had drawn $1,000 from the bank, and
was counting it in her room, in which
she was assisted by Vera. Mrs. Mitchell
was called to the door on some errand,
and when she returned to the room Vera
and the money were gone.

Protest Against the Apportionment.

GREEN BAY, Wis, Oct. PA mass
meeting of 5000 Democrats and Repub-
Hcans was held at jackson park to pro-
test against the apportionment to be
made by the legislature now in session
at Madison. Mayor James Fl. Elmore
presided and strong resolutions were
adopted. The ground for complaint is
the alleged intention to divide the city
OF Green Bay by placing the First ward
in the Second assembly district.

ing Irvine shall be admitted free OF
duty. What does the republican senate
propose to do about it?
Such bills as this for free binding
Irvine and that already passed by the
house for the abolition Of the prohibi-
tive specific duties on woolens mean
something, and the attempt of the re-
publican party to ignore them by
pigeonholing in the senate cannot sue
coed. Such obstruction will have to
be answered for in the campaign as
squarely and fully as if the reform bills
had been put to vote and every repub-
Hcan vote had been recorded against
them. Yet it is said, on trustworthy
authority, that the republican majority
in the senate will endeavor to prevent
their consideration in that body.
This is due to the cOwardice OF re-
publican senators of the west, who,
knowing that these bills represent the
interests and support the rights of THEN
constituents, are afraid to vote either
for them or against them. Since the
death Of Plumb the republican farm
ers of the west have no republican rep
resentative in the senate. Men like
Allison are governed by the New Eng
land corporations. If they can suppress
the house reform bills they will certain
" DO it.
But the attempt will fail. They may
Try to shirlz responsibility in the SEN
ate, but they will have to answer out
side the senate. Every reform bill the
house passes is SO much accomplished
for Kidding the senate of the ccwardly
incapablcs who have submitted to cor
poration dictation through their
whole term of service. Since the dem
ocrats took the aggressive on the tar
if the republican party has lost four
senators in the west, and that is only
beginning.
The house is doing good work, and il
will certainly tell The cowarCice of
the senate republicans only makes this
result more certain. Push the issue on
the senate. The people will do the rest.

There is, however, a significance to
be attached to the action OF those
states which have sent uninst-ucted
delegations to the republican national
convention. But that significance is so
plain as to make ridiculous the effort
to conceal it by the pretense that the
party managers are feeling their way
IN their determine ton to select q candi-
date who will have the best chance Of
election n NOven Der. The real pur-
pose OF the bosses is bent upon another
matter.
The president has in many ways dis
appointed the men who made him. He
has not been SO pliable as they had
hoped and wished he might be. He has
made show at least of controlling his
own administration. He turned his
back on Dudley the moment he crossed
the threshold of the white house. He
has repeatedly snubbed several promi
nent senators in the distribution of
the patronage. He has, on rare occa-
sions. ignored Platt. He has poorly dis
guised his contempt for Quay. and he
undoubtedly disappointed Garrison,
who coveted place in the cabinet.
These men, who are the real bosses of
the republican party, are now essaying
the role of sandbaggers toward the
president. They have fastened their
hands upon his throat, and they Will
compel him to surrender his admins
tration to them as the price he must pay
for a second nomination from his party
They have control of the uninstructed
delegations to Minneapolis, and they
use these delegates as a menace to
brighten Harrison into compliance
with their terms.
The attitude of the sandbaggers cas-
lily explains why no instructions were
given in New York and Pennsylvania
In one state the party is compile teIy
under the domination of Plat, and in
the other it does the bidding OF Quay.
These bosses intend to bring the presi-
dent to their feet, and they will succeed.
The fact that he must agree to deliver
to Platt and Quay the prerogatives and
patronage of second term. il he
should succeed himself, will be one of
the tcost potent arguments against his
observation-disclosures Herald

"But you will not go?" she pleaded,
whilea shudder shook her frame.
Tt was well he could net see the look
of agony on her face. he might else
have faltered Oh the kindness of the

country's aid, yet / had notintended to
go till the impulse seized me to-day.
Amid the stirring scenes of the rally,
under the magic spell cast over me by
the thrilling strains of martial music,
and with all the while the echo in my
heart: Your country needs you,' was
impelled onward with the tide, and en-
rolled myself among those who go to
the scene of conflict. Under less agi-
tating influences, 1 might have failed Of
courage to take this step. yet knowing
I have done right, I do not regret it.
Bravery, after all, is but finding out
ones duty and doing it."
And thus they talked on during the
time he dared linger. and all their plans
were for THAR marriage when the sol
der should 'Come marching home

came, the moon had just crept up from
the horizon, and they might have taken
its flood of light, as it came to them

but it only served to reveal to each the
white face of the other; showed to each
that the eyes of the other were dim with
their fullness of but half-suppressed
tears. knowledge which only gave
added pangs to the parting.
The goai-bys came all too soon, for:

Anna Brown had been left an orphan

haughty lips. Small wonder to US who

Later she accompanied her friend to
their family lot in the cemetery.

wreaths, which. she explained to Anna
as they went, were for the graves OF
her brother and a comrade of his, who
slept beside him. They were devoted
friends, and this one died after a long
illness, and as he had no friends to care
for his body, her brother had requested
its burial in their lot. ''And in less
time than he dreamed Of" said the sis
ter, she was lying beside him"
''There was pathetic romance about
| this poor fellows death, she continued,
designating the grave of the stranger
soldier as she spoke. 'He had no
friends except his betrothed, and at the
time of his death, she could not be
heard from, though efforts were made
to learn of her whereabouts when his

knowledge to bring her full assur-

was the soldier-stranger who slept be-
side his dead cornrade. That soothed
her sorrow, to know that though dead,
he had been true to her in life. There
is a sorrow deeper than that which the
parting by death brings to us. Her
eyes shed the first tears they had known
since she had thought him false.

The Conditions That Republican Bosses

The failure of such states as New

struct their delegates to vote for the re-
nomination OF President Harrison cam
not fairly be construed to mean that the
president is in any real danger Of defeat
at Minneapolis. OF course, the sand
bagging newspaper organs of the party
comment significantly on the absence
of instructions, and assert with strained
vehemence that the republican man
ayers intend to proceed cautiously, and
to study the situation earnestly. before
selecting the candidate. But few people
are deceived by this chatter.
Even if there existed any consider
able disposition among the republican
leaders to set aside the president-and

thing to accomplish. Events have
steadily pointed to his denomination.
and the drift has been persistently in
his direction. All the distinguished
gentlemen who, at one time or an
other, have been mentioned as his
possible opponents for the nomination,
and who have not at once been rejected
as unavailable, have either withdrawn
or fallen down. Thus the track has re-
NAMED clear for Harrison.
