of the committee has gone think every

is hardly proper for me to claim that all has
been done that should be, yet the Republi-

pleasure that the machinery is working so
smoothly. These results, after working a
month. are extremely gratifying, and con-
vince us that our campaign will gain new
strength and vigOr right up 10 the day of
election. Our great work now is to get our
army of speakers in the field. This is going
on rapidly aud smoothly and in two weeks
the principles of Republicanism will be
Numbered from 1000 stumps day and night.
There is not one single issue we intend to
avoid, nor do we propose to fight defen-
sive battle. We will press the Democracy
from the start TO the finish. Our arguments
can be easily understood and the voters of
this country will not be able to say they had
not sufficient instruction in the issues in

Jerry SIMPSONS VIEWS.
Ne Wants to Smash Custom Houses. But 0p
poses Wildcat Banks.

WAsusGrox, Nov. 2s.--Congressman
Jerry Simpson of Kansas was at the Capi-
tol. He was asked who would be the next
senator from Kansas. He replied
1--WE have to catch the Legislature be-
fore we can tell. There is no certainty
about the Legislature yet. We have about
six majority in the upper house. and in the
lower house there is a tie between the Re-
publicans on the one hand and the Peoples
party and the Democrats on the other.
Who will have a majority now depends on
chance. In one of the legislative districts
the two opposing candidates ran tie, and
our law provides that in such case the
matter shall be determined by lot. If we
are lucky in drawing lots we shall get the
Legislature. But if the Republicans get
the best of US in the draw they will have a
majority of one in the lower house, and
they will Immediately turn out enough of
our folks on contests to give them major
ity of the Legislature on joint ballot
Mr.. Simpson wants all the custom houses
destroyed, and thinks that the Democrats
should begin the destruction as soon as
possible. He says the Peoples party
Senators will join the Democrats in what
ever designs they may have no protection.
The people, he says, will not be satisfied
with an average custom duty Of more than
20 per cent, and he wants it all abolished
He appears in new light on finance.
The Democratic wildcat bank currency idea
has his unqualified disapprovsl. He says
he has seen enough of that in his day.

CfScfx~Arl, Nov. 2s.--The heresy tria
Of Prof. Henry p. Smith of Lane Theology
cal Seminary was resumed this morning b,
the Cincinnati presbytery. Prof. SProul
gave notice of a protest against the actor
of the presbytery ai the last session in yot
ing to sustain the first charge and speeifica
tons. The protest was ruled eu
of order. Debate was resumed on ths
suffciency in form and legal effect of tins
second charge and its specifications. Th'
charge is sustained by IL specifications
made up Of assertions of what was tangh
by Prof. Smith in his pamphlet. mainl,
concerning the author of Chronicles, Psalm
and portion of Isaiah.
While the proper argument before courl
today was upon Prof. Smith sebjeetion tc
the snificiency of this charge and lis speci
feations as to form and legal effect, mem
bers of the court almost without exception
addressed themselves to a discussion of the
question whether Prof Smiths teaching was
contrary to the fundamental doctrine of the
church. Amoug those who spoke in favor
of sustaining the charge were Dr. Bryan,
DIR. Ritchie who favored some slight
amendment, DIR. James. DIR. Reynolds.
DIR. Robertson. DIR. Roberts, DR.. Maxwell
and Elder Fulton argued against the
charge.
AT the afternoon session debate was con-
tinued in the same strain for an hour or
more, Vote upon sustaining the sufticiency
of the second charge in form and legal eff
feet resulted Yeas, A. nays. II. The
specifications were voted on, after being
amended by the prosecuting committee in
accordance with Prof. Smiths suggestions,
and by his consent, and were then, with the
second charge, approved as whole. The
third and last charge will undoubtedly be
approved without debate and then the trial
proper will begin.
