Paxton had entertained the hope that
the fatal bullet which had occasioned
the death of John Oakburn would serve
as an important clue in tracing the I'M
fortunate mans assassin.
From the first it had been the de-
tective's purpose to trace the weapon
Of death to the assassin, by means Of
the bullet.
Now the purpose Of the man-trailer
was no longer possible to be executed,
and the hope which the possession Of
the death-missile had given him was de-
stroyed.
so John Oakburn was murdered with
his own weapon. The assassin probably
found the weapon in the Office and used
It to kill Oakburn, very possibly, with
the intention Of perplexing the inves-
tigator, should the weapon be traced, "
thought the detective.
He recalled to mind the fact that no
one had mentioned having ever seen
such a weapon as the air-pistol in the
possession OF John Oakburn, and as q
new idea entered his mind he cried:
Il have it! The strange weapon with
which Oakburn was murdered formed
one of his collection of curious, ancient
weapons.
The assassin had opened the old cash
ier's little safe, robbed it, and secured
the air-pistol when he heard Oakburn
| coming. The wretch had discovered that
the pistol was loaded and ready for use.
He used it to kill his victim because IL
made no sound"
Paxton was satisfied with this theory.
On this very evening. while Paxton
was visiting the curiosity shop, Lew
Kredge was on his way to visit his sister.

Probably Mr. Cleveland and Mr.. Stevenson

smaller and show less interest, there would
fall upon the campaign something like wet
blanket.
But il is now admitted that the enthusiasm
kindled was not particularly merry Democratic
leaders observe with some interest that me
great body of Democratic voters declines thus
far TO effervesce. Rarely has there been seen
less general interest or excitement IN TINS great
Democratic CITY regarding Presidential noml-
nation of that party, and while the organized
officers and EMPLOYEES and party clubs will 60

get ND any excitement for the candidate who
led them to defeat four years ago lheS were
not by any means as enthusiastic then as they
had been when he scratched success four
years earlier and it is possible that their en-
tbusiasm is proceeding on diminishing scale
to vanishing point.
II is n little hard for the Democratic masses
to forget the warnings of their favorite orators
and newspapers, that Cleveland was doomed
RI defeat. that he was not Democrat but a
Nucwump. that he had been false TO the party
and true only to his own personal ambition,
and that he could not possibly carry this state
These orators and newspapers can turn INSIDE
ont with more than the dextcrty OF harlequin
but the effect upon the Democratic masses Is
rather confusing Nor are they greatly excited
about any issue that is presented to them
Most of them have discovered that the Mchin-
lev bill does not eat up their wages nor make
ANYTHING more costly that they consume 1hcy
have learned that a Democratic House did not
try to repeal it. Whether cotton ties or plnd-
inc tyvinc or tin plates should be made Tree
thev do not care They care even less about
the Force bill spook, held up on every Demo
cratic platform 10 flightcn them. The average
Democrat does not know why the Southern
states should not have election laws as well
as New York.
II would not be amazing il there should be
much WEAKNESS among Democratic leaders As
the campaign progresses. The effort I" gel
voters excited about n man OF whom they are
rather tired and about issues for which they
care nothing. is apt to be fatiguing
