Collapse of the POpulists.
[Globe- Democrat

One of the most palpalable and
significant features of the recent
elections is the collapse of the pop
ulists. They do not seem to have
figured in any potent way in any
of the voting states. The returns
show that their strength has been
everywhere materially reduced.
They have not a single thing to
boast of in all the long list of things
that transpired on the 7th inst.
Wherever they made fight they
were beaten. In not one of the
States where they were formidable
last year have they been able to
hold their own this year. They
encountered a pronounced defeat
in Kansas, they were badly worst
ed in Nebraska, they made miser-
able failure in Virginia, and they
were practically eliminated from
the political situation in Kentuck-
ey. We heard great deal before
the elections about the large gains
that they were sure to make, but
the result proves that they have
been losing ground all over the
country at remarkably rapid rate,
and that they have no reason to
suppose that their party will be in
existence in 1896. There has new
or before been such considerable
lessening of political vitality in any
political party in a similar period;
and it is not to be doubted that the
process of weakening and disinte-
grafton will 60 on swiftly until
there shall be nothing left of the
thing but q bad smell.

author of her trouble. In the meantime

While Mr.. Gentry had been working in
Cleveland he became so favorabIy inns
nreased with Ohio and her people that he
resolyed to return. He landed In Canton,
July 10. 1875. and has lived here contipu-
ousIy even since. For II years he worked
for the Canton Spring Co. He had charge
of the large furnaces, and he was always
considered one of their most steady and
reliable men. He worked at the spring
shop until April, 1886, when he accepted
position as mail carrier under Postma ster
Archinal. He filed this position very
creditably, always making himself agree
able and accommodating with every one
with whom he came In contact.
In the spring of 1889 he concluded to
enter the political arena and he ans
nouuced himself as a candidate for mar
shal. There were four other Democrats
competing for the place and the race was
neck and neck between all the candidates
but Gentry won, having a few votes over
bis next highest competitor, the clever
and genial George Mist. At the election
was pitted against him David Fletcher,
who was then marshal and running for
his second term. Yet in spite of this Mr..
Gentry was elected, receiving q majority
| Of $50.
In the office OF marshal Mr.. Gentry ac-
| quilted himself admirably. There are
| stern and unpleasant duties to perform
| In the Office of marshal, but Il Ia aacknowl-
| edged by friend and foe that William A.
| Gentry never finched or shirked. He
brought his best ability into play and
gave the duties Of the office that attention
| which they required. He did not make
the error which In some cities Ia
too common, In believing that persecu-
ton and prosecution arc Synonymous
terms, but he never allowed guilty man
to escape II IL were possible to convict
him. He did faithful and most excellent
service for the city and 10 one of the
shrewdest and brainiest men that ever
went after an evil-doer. HE figured In
many important arrests and his long,
headedness and foresight brought con-
fusion 10 many an offender OF the law who
thought himself secure and his tracks
cleverly covered. This WAS well demon
