NEW YoRK. Aug 7.-Governor Nc
kinley, Of Ohio, writes in to days press
as follows: "We have nothing to fear
but ourselves. We have got everything
low that we had last year except conf

"Whst we have this year which we

this country believing that the Demo
Gratis will keep their solemn pledges are
forced to prepare for the change.
Sensitive capital and business, assured
the storm is to come, try to get out Of it
and under shelter. If the new political
management dees not mean to carry out
the policy promised, and I sincerely
hope it does not, good conscience and
good morals demand that it allay the
universal alar by promptly announcing
that it has abandoned it

'It should be the aim of everyone tC

The politics which interfere with the
