There is story going the rounds in
this part OF the country, 10 the effect
that Col. Rufus Craig, the sorghum
king of II hurricane, has solved the cur
remcy problem. His plan-as we I'M
derstoOd it's to have an estimate
made of the precious metals now in The
mines, and tEen issue certificates to
correspond with the amount thus ascer-
tanned. This will be laughed at per
haps, but it doesn't differ much, after
all, from the philosophy of free silver
coinage.
-
A leading argument used by the free
silver demagogues i'll these parts III Ia
vor of their policy, is that 1T Will help
the debtor at the expense of the
creditor. How is that for equal
and exact justice TO all, exclusive prlvi-
leges to none?
The Kansas Alliance people said that
Senator Ingalls, would have been re-
elected had he given them certain
pledges at the beginning of the cam
| paign. In other words, while claiming
| to have defeated him because he was a
demagogue, they confess that they
would have supported him had he
been one for their benefit.

| Nearly everybody, including Harri-
son, is now of the opinion that Indiana
will go Democratic next November.

1t is now reported that Harrison will
come West as far as Illinois, during the
campaign to look after his own interest,
and do a little missionary work.

Perhaps at no time in her history has
New York been so certain to cast heI
vote for the National Democratic ticket
as ahis year. Everything now Is work
ing to that end, and next November
will show signal victory tor Demo

president Will take it as he taxes most
things-coolly and philosophicaily. He is
not an excitable man and it takes a great
deal TO arouse him. 1t is said to be of
record that he has used profane language
on but two occasions in the whole course
of his life. One of these was at the battle
OF Resaca, where he is said TO have adjured
a Confederate gunner with the words,
"Come out Of there, you ID rebel, and
to have emphasized this adjuration by
yanking the gunner over the breastworks
behind which he was stationed. General
Harrison was very much ashamed Of this
little lapse and he called his officers to-
gether and apologized to them.
VIII Unravel the Returns.
During tonight, until the result Is
known, or until it is evident that it will
not be known, the president and his friends
will put in the time grouping and compar
ing the returns. As these returns come to
the president they will be grouped and
compared with those of the last presidential
election to a certain extent. But to sppre-
ciate the value Of each of these statements
it is necessary 70 know something more
than the bulletins can give In New York
state particularly the locality in which a
change occurs gives it much of its value.
The president has a thorough general po-
htieal knowledge and the bulletins will
speak very simple language to him.
Blaine Calls on Harrison.
The president, beyond receiving a call
from Attorney General Miller. was almost
alone all day. His chief and most distin-
guished caller otherwise was MI Blaine,
whose visit stirred up no small amount
OF gossip. The ex-secretary walked over
from his residence in Lafayette square to
the White House shortly before O'Clock
and was at once shown into the presidents
room. The call may have been simply one
OF personal coincidence, or it may have had
political import. No authentic informa
tion can be obtained on either point.

Latest Estimates of the Leaders Of the
Two Parties
NEW YORK, Nov S.-Last night certain
figures were published claiming to be the
latest estimates of both parties here in New
Iorh state. According to the Democratic
arithmetic Cleveland's majority in all the
counties will be 90, $50 while they concede
the Harrison ticket a, $50 giving the Dem
ocrats 1900 supremacy in round figures
this on basis of 6s,0o0 in New York
county.
The Republican Estimate.
The Republicans have also indulged in
figures, and according 10 their estimates
they find 92.oNt as against So, 600 for their
Democratic brethren, thus giving Harri-
son the state by 6,ooO. There has been
much talk about the danger of trouble at
the polls and a conflict between the state
and federal authorities, but in most in
stances the law so clearly defines the duties
Of both sides that it is now generally ad-
mitted that there will be no discord and
that much of the talk has been political
claptrap.
Issued Their Final Appeals.
Garter and Harrity issued their final ap-
peals last night. They each urge the voters
Of the country to be sure and deposit their
ballots, and each claims that victory is Ger
tain. Each declares that he possesses m
formation from all the doubtful states that
puts it beyond doubt that his party candi-
date will carry them, and il may be set
down briefly that according to these last
bugle calls there will be two presidents

WAGES At HOMESTEAD.

Our friends, the Democrats, or some
of them. in their zeal to make political
capital out of the Homestead affair have
been guilty of downright lying. The
impression has been spread far and wide
by them that the strikers are poor work
ingmen who have been laboring at star
walton wages, that they have been
suinmarily thrown upon cold world by
the Carnegies without cent in their
pockets, and that only charity stands be-
tween them and downright suffering and
want. Now the facts are that the great
majority of the strikers have been earn
ing high wages-very high as compared
with the wages that are paid to clerks in
city stores and ordinary mechanics. I'm
der the old scale of prices the wages OF
the men at work in the Homestead prop.
erty ran as follows:

That the delay of the Governor of
Pennsylvania in sending troops to Home
stead did not commend itself to the peo-
pie of that state is evident from the COM
ment of the Philadelphia papers. The
Bulletin says that ''if the effect of the
governors conduct is not seen in other
disturbances, it will be because the
people love the peace more than he. In
the gravest crisis of his administration
he has proved himself impotent or worse
His policy has been to make it appear
that Sheriff McCleary is cowardly or
weak; but the conduct of that official is
thousand times more commendable
than that of the chief executive. Nc
Cleary has at least tried to do his duty.
Governor Pattison has not only made no
attempt in this direction, but by parley-
ing with the rioters and by shifting and
evading this proper responsibility he has
given the mob to understand that it has
committed no crime worthy of his cog
nizance. Fortunately his course ends
his political career, and if we escape evil
during the remainder of his term the
public safety will not again be imperilled
by his folly"

Democratic District committee, should
continue his search for a Democratic
candidate for Congress. 1t will simplify
matters good deal when the Democratic
convention meets to have lot of letters
on file from the various gentlemen who
have been mentioned as possible can
didates. Amoug the mentioned" is
Mr.. w. A. Roberts of Biddeford. x We
believe he has already written letter on
the subject, but it was not addressed to
the chairman of the District committee,
and so lacks the official air necessary to
give it standing in the convention. Mr..
d. II. Ingraham las been mentioned
also. Mr.. Meserve should correspond
with him and learn definitely his atti-
tude. Then there is Mr.. George f. Cliff
ford, of Cornish, who has been reported
as willing to sacrifice himself. A letter
should be addressed to him. If ''cir-
cumstances beyond their control' pre-
vent all these gentlemen from accepting
the nomination, Mr.. Meserve might adj
vertise in the WANT column of the
newspapers for candidate.
