comes from Alabama and from
an apparently authentic source,
that the free silver Democrats

havennited and that this union
has been met by a combination
between the sound money Demo-

of those alliances is as legitimate

regret that either wasever made.
But the case shows the tendency

was one Of the officers accused OF contempt
OF court in 1891 for refusing to obey the
mandate OF the supreme court in regard TO
counting the returns from butchers county.
He has been hard drinker, and charitably-
inclined people are disposed to attribute
his crime to disordered brain, and yet
there is nothing in his appearance to justify
this claim.
THE fact that Schlatter, the man in Dem
yer who claims to have miraculous powers
of healing, had announced his work to end
on Friday, November 10, resulted in turn
ing the attention of the whole public to
him. The trains brought in thousands OF
people from Kansas and Nebraska and more
distant points. j. b. Handy of Ellsworth,
Kan, created sensation by appearing on
crutches before Schlatter and then walking
away without them. He was photographed
and exhibited for a time as a sample OF the
work done by the healer. judd Webb OF
Omaha was treated and his paralysis was
instantly cured. The hotel clerks report
that they have seen guests come apparently
afflicted and later have seen them go away
happy and well. One man who limped into
the Oxford on crutches walked across the
corridor the next day without support.
Thursday morning Denver was wild when
a member of the Fox family, in which he
was stopping, went to call the healer to
breakfast and found his room vacant. He
had mysteriously disappeared during the
night. 1t was observed Wednesday that he
was growing restless under the increasing
excitement and the swelling crowds. The
craze had grown beyond his power to con.
troll and he feared the denouement. Later
in the morning note was found reading:
"Mr. Fox My mission is finished. The
Father takes me away. +. Schlatter" 1t
is thought the healer is wandering over the
hills. 1t is known that he took no money
with him. Thous ands of people hocked
about the deserted cottage, and the condi-
ton of the disappointed sick from dis
lance was pitiful.

Wrested from Germans Grin.

Freeman Rasin, the defeated demo.
cratic boss of Baltimore, and second to
Arthur p. German in command Of the
smashed democratic machine in Mary.
land, now admits that except for the
power of the machine, Maryland would
have gone republican in nearly every
election since 1875. That was the year
when the ballots and ballot-boxes were
burned in several districts and the
"crooks of the Gorman-Ra ma
chine counted in the democratic candi-
date for governor
Those people, Rasin says, who think
that it will be an easy matter to swing
Maryland back into the democratic
column do not know what they are
talking about. 1t has taken many
years to perfect the organization in the
city and state, and now that it has been
knocked to pieces at one blow, it will
take many more years to get together
another one that will prove effective
and be able to recapture the state and
city governments. Only the most glar-
ing mistakes on the part of the re-
publicans-and they will be very care
ful-will turn the city aud state back
to where they have been for twenty
eight years. The election machinery
alone was worth $4,000 votes to the
party, and that, taken with the other
work done by the organization, has
given the democrats control of the
state.
If it had not been for the organize
ton and its work Cleveland would not
have got the vote of this state in 1884,
1888 or 1892. AS it was, in 1884 and
1888 it was close shave. But the
work of the organization saved the day
as it has always done.
Several other democrats who were
prominently connected with the ma
chine, and know by what methods it
maintained control, endorse Rasin's
views. They declare that Maryland
is in the republican column to stay.

1T is the irony of politics that gives
to the democracy in the late election its
only victory in the city that is scared
over by the wickedness of great dem
ocratic organization. New York city
goes back to Tammany, but the victory
there is barren one. Only few off
GERS of the minor rank were elected
this year. The city will remain for a
long period under the administration OF
the officers chosen year ago and those
which have since been appointed by
the city's chief executive. Tammany's
majority for city officers was about %,
900, and for the state ticket about 43,

Political Notes.

OF the conviction of Bat" Shea,
the democratic thug, who shot aud
killed Robert Ross, at the Troy munich
pal election in 1894, the New York Sun
says: "The case of the man Shea of
Troy, who was convicted of killing a
political adversary in an election riot
last year, has been decided adversely TO
him by the court of appeals, and he is
under sentence of death by electricity.
The trial of Shea was fair in every re-
spect; the evidence left no doubt of his
guilt; the jury was unanimous for his
conviction. The sentence was ia &C
cordance with the law; it has been
upheld by the court of last resort in the
state. 1t is a just sentence" Ross
was republican protecting the polls
from democratic repeaters and was shot
down by Shea, a henchman of United
States Senator Murphy, for interfering
with his attempts at illegal voting.
THE New York Independent very
pertinently observes: How the free
trade press ridiculed the idea of pro-
ducing tin plate in this country two or
three years ago! They said the tin
plate liar was the biggest kind of liar.
B 1t the Mckinley act nevertheless
created the industry, and to day no.
body disputes its enormous growth. In
the four fiscal years since the act went
into effect the production of tin plate
has increased from nothing to 1885,
719 pounds in 1892, and to 1913 ,S01 ,073
in 1895. Says the Bulletin of the Amer
lean Iron and Steel Association:
This pyramid OF tin plate production in
four years forms as complete justf cation
of the protective policy as has ever been
printed. In less than four years
more-perhaps in less than two years-we
will be able, with favorable legislation, to
supply all our own wants for tin plate in.

Defending the Democrats.

When Eli Perkins was asked recently
about the prospects OF the republican
party in New York, he said:
"l'm democrat, you know, and |
only keep track of our prosperous demo-
cratic party. The democratic party is
doing we'll"
"In what respect?" asked the re-
porter.
"Why, we have a deficit of $780,
$1,000 since Grover got in and bOr-
rowed the money to pay it. We are
enjoying ourselves, and we are going
to let the republicans do the walking
later on. The republicans paid $2000,-
100000 on the national debt, and 1
guess they can pay this little three
hundred million deficit"
" But what has become of the $780,
100000 in gold which you borrowed?"
was asked.
Well, we put it with the 1884, 000,-
900 which we had in the treasury,
making $266,000, 1000 in gold, and we
have spent it all but SOL 100000 to pay
running expenses. Instead of taking
in enough money at the custom houses
to pay for running the government we
hired gold from the English at four per
cent. Oh, we democrats are smart, we
are!
"We democrats don't pay green
backs and silver to American farmers
for WOOL" continued Eli, " but we send
$84 100000 in gold a year to Thibet
and Australia"
What are you democrats doing with
the great industries?" asked the re-
porter
Why, we are knocking them out.
We've killed the Yankee lace factory at
Wilkesbarre, and are buying ship loads
of window curtains in Nottingham.
We have shut up third of the wooden
factories in Massachusetts and Rhode
Island, and the British steamers come
loaded with wooden cloth from Brad.
ford. Why, last year we shipped
eighty.fv per cent more wooden goods
from England than we did under Nc
Kinley in 1892. We democrats are
keeping the wooden mills in Leeds and
Manchester going day and night. And
see what we are doing for our sheep
at home. The slaughter houses OF
Kansas City and Omaha are killing
millions of sheep from New Mexico
and Wyoming daily. And wool! Die
not our grasping farmers use to ge
thirty-five cents for it under Mckinley
and now we are sending gold to Aus
tralia and buying Swan River and Var
Dieman's Land wool for ten and fifteer
cents. l tell you, we democrats are
running things wild. We have to. fol
we know you republicans are coming
with the Kelley cure in '96."-Clevelant
