AT DEATHS PORTAL
Belief That Poet Whittier Is Rapidly
Nearing the End.

Nearing the End.
HAMPTON FALLS, N. H., Sept. 7.-Mr.
Whittier's condition has become decidedly
worse. DIR. Douglass has announced to
his relatives and watchers that the symp-
toms are such that there remains no hone
OF his recovery. His end may be looked
for at any moment 1t may be postponed
for several days. but he is upon his death
bed.
Mr.. WI tier spent quiet night, and
the bullet,.> ,-nt out yesterday morn
ing by Dr Douglass stated his condition
as unchanged He slept for three hours
yesterday morning quietly and peacefully,
and awoke much refreshed.
He seemed TO suffer from an inability to
take nourishment, even the lightest por-
ridge being swallowed only with great
difficulty. The action of the heart was re
ported to be comparatively strong and
regular, and, on the whole, his friends re
newed hope
As for the patient himself, he is fully
aware of his critical condition and whs-
pers to his friends: mo one could dc
more than is being done for me, but it is
of no use"
Friends stand by and guard him from
all excitement, bathe his head constantly
and otherwise make him as comfortable
as possible. He evinces satisfaction and
gratitude for this, and says the doctors
can do no more The doctors say that
heart failure Is what they fear

per cent, and the Democratic vote
has fallen off l24, or per cent,
compared with the vote of the same
town in 1888, and the Republican vote
shows an increase of 2lS2, or IA per cent,
and the Democratic vote decrease OF 40
or per cent, compared with the vote OF
1880.
The Prohibition vote shows less change
when compared either with the vote OF
1855 or 1890, than the vote of the Republl-
cans or Democrats, although little work
was done throughout the state by the cold
water advocates.
Fuller's majority over Smalley thus far
is 9555: over all, $780, If the vote OF the
remaining towns is relatively the same as
those reported, the Republican majority
will reach about 81 900.
Twelve towns elect Democratic repre-
sentatives. Roxbury fails to elect. There
were sixty-three Democrats IN the last
general assembly. The governor vote IN
comparatively few of the largest towns

POET WHITTIER DEAD.

The great poet, John G. Whittier,
passed peacefully to his long rest at
4.3O a. m, Sept. 7th, beloved and
mourned BY great nation as few men
are ever mourned. His fame is far
more enduring than that of the great
est king that ever reigned, for he
reigned in the hearts of millions on
millions, and his reign will end only
with time.

fighter. has at last met his match and
was defeated at New Orleans Wednes-

THE BALANCE OF TRADE.

Without cotton the balance of
trade would be against us It is the
greatest purchaser of British gold of
all our products. Mr.. Randall was
kept in Congress 25 years because he
represented a manufacturing district.
1t is right for the Southern people to
ask their representatives to give them
relief. A pair of pillow lines costs Is
cents a poUnd-the same they did when
cotton was selling at from Is to II
cents a pound, while it Is only 81 now.
Cotton will keep in warehouses for
years. Wheat can be for so years,
so can corn III the improved warehouses.
There is no danger of a surplus. There
never has been any great surplus. The
supply of grain and cotton is full at
present, but the world needs every
pound of it. Under consumption, not
over production, is the trouble. If we
had the Sub Treasury and a surplus
should accumulate, we could use it to
hire men to build coast defenSes and
other public works. Col Skinner at
Charlotte.
