Governor Mckinley got the biggest |
chrysanthemum bouqeut of the political
season.
Like the monopoly tariff Pennsyl-
vania's election figures are too high to
be healthy or to last long.
Senator Hill has taken to the woods
Even the lynx eyed New York reporters
have not been able to find him.
The Democratic Fairmont CIV. Va
IndeG is greatly pleased that there was
no election in that State last Tuesday.
OF course, it was Providence that did
it. Nothing else could have pulled Re-
publicanism from the deep hole it was in.
Some redskins are trying to foment
trouble in the far West. This being
Indian summer, they think that now's
their time.
The nation feeling safe with the Presi-
dency, Senate and House in their pres
emit hands is disposed to have little fun
with the G. 0. P.
Maybe Mckinley is counting his Press
idential chickens before they're hatch>
ed. If it depends on counting Reed is
bound to beat him.
Mrs. Mary Crosby, poor seamstress
living at Sprin gfield, ILL.,, has won a suit

olina worth $4,000.
The INDEx-APPEAL warns the Dem
ocrats not to proceed in the direction of
free trade when they undertake to revise
the tariff. No danger.
'There is but one wav to educate
party" says contemporary, land that
is by defeat Then the populists of
Virginia are we'll educated.
Pretty nigh the nearest approach to
Democratic comfort under the circum-
stances is man named Jackson being
elected Governor of Iowa.
The press is, indeed powerful In
New York it slaughtered the Democratic
ticket by attacking it. In Maryland it
elected the Democratic ticket by saying
nothing.
Mayor Pro TEN. Swift, of Chicago, is a
manufacturer of axle-grease. The creak-
ing of-the municipal machine in the
Windy City may have suggested his
availability.
1t is hard to tell whether the World or
the Prees of New York is the more de-
lighted at the recent defeat the demo-
Gratis of that State sustained, though
the former poses as democratic news
paper.
A thousand Chicago anarchists assem-
bled Monday at the graves of the men
executed for murder in the Haymarket
riots six years ago. Michael Schwab and
Samuel Fielder, who had been released,
made addresses.
A telegram from indianapolis says
murderous crank was arrested there.
just as he started to Washington to
murder President Cleveland. The strong
arm of the law should be brought to
bear heavily upon these so-called
s'cranks,''
1t is said that the friends of Major
Holmes Conrad, Assistant Attorney
General, will urge his appointme Mt to
succeed Judge Bond. Maj. Conrad has
already declared himself candidate for
the U. s. Senate. Hon. H. Kyd Doug
lass is also mentioned as possible suc>
cessor of Judge Bond.
Senator Aliens famous silver speech
was the longest speech ever printed in
the Congressional Record, and filled
sixty-two pages. The Government
Printing Office ran out of type while
setting the speech and was compelled to
z send it in installments to Mr.. Allen for
revision. In pamphlet form the speech
would make book of a hundred and
seventy-five closely printed pages.
John A. Jenkins, late ticket agent
at Norfolk for the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railroad, has been arrested on the
charge uf embezzeling the funds of the
company to the extent of 3d. 700. Police

Colonel O'Ferrall has a net plurality
over Mr., Cooke, populist, of 44,751. In
the twelve counties not heard from the
democratic majority four years ago was

public-as citizen first aud as some>
thing else in year or two. The cleo
ton cyclone affords him a fine opportu-
nifty to pose in an interview embody-
ing causes and a Harrison essay on the
tariff, but there was no reference to the
wasted surplus left over from previous
