TFOr the ADVERTISER.
A Card of Thanks.

Please allow me space to express
through your columns the deep
sense of our family's gratitude to
friends and neighbors for their
kindness, earnest sympathy, and
untiring attention to my brother
during his recent extreme illness.
While their nights of watching
and days of anxiety, coupled with
a thousand kindly acts can never
be repaid, yet they shall ever be
cherished in fondest memory.
Nor do we feel under less obliga-
tion to the attending physician, DR..
Kirksey, for his almost incessant
attention and constant vigilance.
May Coos blessing in their richest
abundance be their reward.

SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 25.-Judge
GaynOr, who was considered in the
lead for the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination, has withdrawn from the
race.
With Gaynor out Of the way, hope
revived liz the breasts of the other as
pirants, and the talk Of Whitnev in
creased, but only the action of the
convention or some new move upon
the political checker-bOard today will
determine who is to be the opponent
of the Republican nominee, Levi P.
Morton.
The platform will congratulate the
country on the returning prosperity
purchasing clause of the Sherman
law and the repeal of the Mckinley
tariff law. 1t will commend those
features Of the new tariff law which
agree with the Democratic principles
of free raw materials and in a measure
voice the sentiments expressed by
President Cleveland to Congressman
Wilson while the tariff bill was in
conference. 1t will depracate any
further general revision Of the tariff,
but will advocate the passage of sep
arate bills for the perfection Of GER
tain schedules.
1t will endorse President Cleveland's
administration as conducive to the
best interests of the country. The in
come tax provision of the new tariff
bill will be condemned. The platform
will also likely contain plank depre-
eating the existence of organizations
having for their object the defeat for
present preferment of candidates on
account of their race or religion.

The Senator's praise of the admins

BEFORE the convention met Senator

RETURNING PROSPERITY.
Eckels Gratified BY What
He Saw in Two States.

| WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-James H.
Eckels, comptroller of the currency, has
returned from visits to Michigan and
Ohio, where he made addresses before
the Bank Associations of the two
States. To correspondent who in
quired as to the general condition of
business affairs in the States mention
ed, Mr.. Eckels said:
1.-THE improvement In the business
conditions wrought within the last
Few weeks in both Michigan and Ohio
Is SO marked that it was commented
on by all with whom 1 came in con-
tact. The change is not in any single
line OF enterprise, but seems to have
reached all lines, though in varying
degrees, and the prevailing opinion is
that the advance already begun will
continue.
"At Bay City, Mich, found the
lumber interests active, and at Grand
Rapids the furniture manufacturers
busy and confident of a growing de-
mand for their products. At Cleve-
!and, the iron industry was equally
indicative of a revival of business.
ut is remarkable how many men
idle a month ago are now at work.
1.-The same increase in activity
which characterized manufacturing
industries was noticeable in all lines
OF trade, and especially so in dry
goods, while building was lively in
many places. The bankers generally
bore testimony to changed conditions,
and were of the opinion that the de-
mand for money which had COM
menced would continue. All the bank
clearanceS were on the increase from
day to day,
The same thing which is to be
noted in the bank clearances of the
States mentioned is to be noted in all
sections of the country, and is the best
evidence OF the fact that there is
marked activity in commercial CEN
tres, for, when the banking business
is at a standstill, the business Of a
community is equally dormant.
81 am confident that this improve
ment in business will continue, and
that it's revival is due in great measure
to the enactment of tariff law, the
tendency of which cannot but be bene-
hcial. OF course, there is yet much
room for increase of trade in every
line, but that will come, and come
more quickly than could reasonably be
expected after so lOng-continued. a
period of depression.
81 think any one who will take the
trouble to inquire into the facts as
they are will come to the conclusion
that we are entering upon year of
prosperity, which would be remark
able, if it were not for the fact that
in certain sections of the West par
tial failure of crops is anticipated,
which will affect both farming and
railroad interests. Despite this draw
back, however, the country is on the
up grade, and will continue so, unless
something now unforeseen should &C.

cloud for some time on account of
certain views about the monkey bust

rigid and satisfactory. He was asked
if he believed the Holy Scriptures con-

that he did. Further:

Singular Observation-Disclosures Suit.

BOSTON, Sept. 25. Miss Mary E.
BARTLETT, late of Maiden, has brought
suit for $3.50, 200 damages against the
estate of the late DR.. Henry J. Bige-
low for alleged breach Of promise of
marriage, made by the doctor some
time before his death. She says that
she fully believes that the doctor
would have kept his promise to wed
her had not death intervered. After
his death Miss Bartlett tried to re-
cover from his executors $3.50, 1000,
which, she said, the Doctor promised
her if she remained true to him, but
they refused to surrender that sum.
The suit will be tried. in the Middle
sex Court next week.
