As 20 State Treasurer and Judges OF the

THE KEY To THE SITUATION.
The kew {, tn, tight. so far rs tho
Democrats are concerned. lies In the
ability Of the Democrats to break up
the alliance between che Republicans and
Populists The Republicans and Popu-
lists calculate in this way: There was
1900 majority over the Democrats in
1882. there are ten thousand men who
voted the Democratic ticket I'm 1892. i'm
order to give their party one more chance
to redeem their pledges and do sonnet hing
for the country. who viii vote against
the Democrats this year; there are an
alleged ten thousand Democrats who say
they are sulking This would nut the
Democrats In minority Of twenty-five
thousand. The question then arises is
the revolt against, by the populists on
the one side and the Republicans on the
other, Of such dimensions as to Obstinate
this seeming heavy vote against the
Democrats? The Democratic leaders arc
confident that they have not lost anv-
thing on the vote OF 1892 and thar no
campaign they have made has aroused
their friends, and that they will Doll
their full vote and win completely.

STOCKS WE'RE FIRM
During the Week in the Face c
Railroad Strikes

DuFInp the W eek IN the ace Oh
Railroad Strikes.
NEW YORK, July 6.-Bradstreet's re-
view of the financial situation tomorrow
will say: In the face of the strike and
accompanying stoppage of traffic on
several Western systems, the stock
market has been remarkably firm. Such
a condition is not speculative novelty,
the market having often in the past
received support when similar depresS.
ing circumstances were encountered.
In this Instance, however, manipulative
assistance has not been extended to
prices, and 1t would seem that the
passage Of the tariff bill by
the senate, coupled with foreign
buying of stocks. and with
general feeling that the strike would
collapse or would be suppressed by the
federal authorities, has checked liqui-
dation aud aVerted short selling. London
p irchaseS were not larg ,out sufficiently
continuous to afford practical support to
the market. They were based largely
on the report of a speedy settlement of
the tariff question and on the determi-
nation of the United States government
to use force against obstructionists of
Interstate commerce. London bullish
tendencies were, however, checked by
failure on Friday of brokerage firm in
that city. 1t is announced, among other
items, that public issue i'll London of
the new Baltimore d Ohio loan has
completes success.
While the influences above referred
to have checked selling and resulted iii
a Steady tone, with some slight adj
vances, there has been no activity. The
Fourth of July holiday breaking the
week had some effect Summer vaca-
ton season also tends to reduce specu-
lalive participation. Both the ''street"
and the public wait for the termination
OF the strike The passage of the COM
promise measure by the senate was of
little direct influence, as the bill goes
at once TO the house, in which body, if
rumor is correct, there is opposition to
some of the provisions. the only i'm
mediate result was q decline III tue
price of Sugar stock. The fall of for
eign exchange and the absence of gold
shipments until Friday did not appear
10 affect prices directly.
