Phil Skillman says it results from a
combination Of two elements, tariff and
finance; distrust of the former and
hard times. Financial depression al

Among the Democrats consulted

little effect in the future, except in
bringing Gov. Mckinley forward for
the Presidential nomination.
Among the Populists B. M. Price,
the editor of the Capital, arose at the
bidding of the scribe and declared that
the large vote in certain States that

Under present conditions Gov. Nc

said it was landslide owing to a too
heavy precipitation OF Cleyelandism.
The fact of the whole matter is that

prevailed to a much larger extent
than usual the past year. The politi-
