cago and the Democrats moving
back to New York, being the first
and only time a national convention
met in the country's commercial
metropolis.
In 1872 the Democrats returned to
their first love and held their great
council in Baltimore. The satellites
thrown off by the Republican party,
which had PASSED its climacteric
and began disintegrating, met at
interior points; the Prohibition
lists making their first entry at CO.
lumbus, where the Labor Reformers
also met, and the Liberal Republic
ans selected Greedy at Cincinnati.
This was the last year in which any
city along the Atlantic coast was the
meeting place of any of the conven-
tions. The Democrats, always in the
lead, set the pace of the westward
movement in the succeeding contest
in 1876, and went across the M1ssls-
sippi river to meet in ST. Louis. The
Republicans fell back on Cincinnati,
while the Greenbackers gathered in
indianapolis and the Prohibitionists
assembled by the shore of Lake Erie
in Cleveland. In 1880 Chicago en-
tertained the Republican and Green
back conventions, while the Demo-
Gratis went to Cincinnati and the Pro-
hibitionists met again by fresh wa
ter in Cleveland. In 1884 Chicago
held the Anti-Monopolists, the Re-
publicans and Democrats, while the
Nationalists met in Indianapolis.
The star Of the empire of party had
moved definitely and permanently
westward. Now San Francisco is
striving for the Republican conven-
ton; but, if precedent holds, it will
be the Democratic party that first
meets in national assembly on the
Pacific coast The Populists, how
ever, are in the lead now with their
Omaha convention of 1892, and the
Republicans in that year reached the
east bank of the Mississippi at the
Exposition hall in Minneapolis.

AN OLD STORY

A dispatch from Chicago rehashes
the familiar story of a plan on the
part of the Great Northern railroad
to secure a rail outlet to Milwaukee
and Chicago, with connections east
ward from those points. 1t has been
told many times and in many forms,
and has just as much and as little
probability now as it ever had be-
fore. The great ability of. Mr.. Hill
as railroad man, and the prom
inent part that he plays in the pub
lie mind at the present time in con-
nection with moves of the first mag
nitude on the railroad board, prob
ably suggested the idea that to him
might be credited the scheme of ex-
tending his system to the South and
East. The inventor has the grace to
place the date of execution at some
indefinite time in the future.
There is not even plausibility in
the tale. In comparison with what
he has already done and with the
plans that he has under way, the
building of a line to the Lake Mich
igan cities would be a trif1e for the
head of the Great Northern. If it
has not been done in the past, it was,
no doubt, because a wise settled pol
icy had decided that it should not be
done. For that matter, there would
be no need to build a mile of new
road. There has been more than
one chance in the past few years for
the Great Northern to secure a Chi
cago connection on most favorable
terms if it had so desired. But it
has already been proved by the ex-
periences of others that there is no
advantage to a transcontinentaI line
in burdening itself with any such
appendage. The connections and the
outlets of the Great Northern to the
eastward are all that the manage
ment of the system need DESIRE
Upon their perfection immense sums
of money have been expended, and
they are part of a we'll matured and
comprehensive plan, whose sagacity
is proved by it's results. The report
of a possible addition in the shape
Of rail connection Chicagoward is
but the rumor of an idle day.

The lasting impressions that all of
the productions of the Hanion BROTH
ers have made here were repeated last
night at the Grand opera house. Again
they presented 'Superba,' but IN
new dress. and a beautiful dress. The
Hanlons are nothing If not thorough,
They never resort to cheap conVen-
tionaIity. Their ingenuity is at a pre-
MUM.
The Grand opera house was packed.
"Standing room only was left after
8 O'Clock. From the time the curtain
rose. applause followed laughter and
laughter applause. The mechanical
workings throughout are masterpieces
of their kind, while the performers are
no noyices and seem especially adapt
ed to. the situations. Especially. is
this true of the second scene of the
first act, where some of the clever
animal limitations, pantomimic and
acrobatic work appear. However, to
discuss the various ridiculous, at the
same time artistic, situations in each
act would be to repeat the only one
general verdict, that 'Superba,' as
presented today, is one Of the finest
stage productions of it's kind. The
irvcn : RS of the spectacle have eclipsed
all previous efforts. The scenic set
tings are marvels of beauty, the cos
tuning, while not eXtravagant, is ap-
propriate and not overdone. There is
no monotony of dazzle and glitter; one
must be awake, as every new moment
brings forth az new object of merriment
and wonder. The climaXes are I'M
deniably refreshing, and, as one fol-
lows the other, a general manifesto
tior of finish tand completeness is
noticeable.
A ballet of twenty pretty girls add
much to the effectiveness Of the spec
tacle. The ballet is under the su-
pervision Of Arturo de Phillippi, who
has set to music some choice and in
genious ballet composition.
While no star appears to illumin-
ate this clever performance, the prin-
cipal interest attaches to Pierrot, the
clown, active, pale and dumb. This
character finds in Charles Guyer
positively first-class representative.
AS a pantomimist he is especially clev-
er and alert at all times. His appear
ance is productive Of merriment, for
mischief invariably follows it. Associat-
ed with him is Louis Peters, in the role
of BARTER. Mr.. Peters is entirely ade-
quate. Other mainstays of the cast
are Batelle Hamme1, as Wallalla, a
wicked queen, who is compelled to rant,
and Bertha Bayliss, as Superba, a
righteous queen, the guardian Of true
love, with very pretty face and
charming figure-an ideal queen of love,
who, like Venus, comes dangerously
near stimulating the affections of
hitherto untried youths.
AS Sylvia and Leander, Dorothy
Chester and Ellenore Carroll were ac-
ceptable, while Joseph Barrett as King
Malign, the wicked demon, Margaret
May in the role of Mora and Adolph
Boccardi in the comic part of Brigitta,
old but active, could not be asked to
do more than they did. The animal
limitations Of the brothers, A. and H.
Borani, were justly applauded.
tA All in ALL the performance left moth
ing to be desired. 1t will drive away
the blues.

sidered a presidential candidate, In his
canvass against Gen. Asa S. Bushnell
for governor, spoke mostly on state is
sues, attacking the Republican state
administration and charging its legis-
lation with corruption. He also held
that Cincinnati was controlled by a.
ring and that the same ring controlled
the last Republican state convention
and was seeking to control the state
administration.
The contest between ex-Gov. Foraker
and Senator Br!ce for the senatorship
has been very bitter, the former at
tacking the latter's record in the SEN
ate and out of the senate. While both
parties held many meetings during the
past two months, Senator Brice was
not among the speakers, but he gave
personal attention to the management
of the Democratic campaign, includ-
ing the canvass in eighty-eight coun-
ties for members of the legislature.
The tariff was an issue on the election
of members of the legislature, especial
ly in rural districts, on account of
Senator Brice voting for free wool and
other changes in the tariff. In the
cities the state issues were kept prom
inent by ex-Gov. Campbelrs charges
about the attempt "to CincinnatiZe
Ohio" as he termed it, and the replies
thereto.
These general state elections occur
in Ohio every two years and the presi-
Dental election comes In one of the
alternate years, so that there is only
one year out of four known as the "off
ueor' w mhaya tbara Or1Iv faw m inOr
state officers to be elected. In 1892
Ohio gave a Republican plurality of
only 1000, electing one Democratic
president elector out of a college of
twenty-three. In 1893 Mckinley had
over $4,000 plurality for governor, and
last year the Republican plurality on
the stare ticket was $4,000, so that the
Democratic managers claim they will
be able to show great gains over the
recent votes in the state even if they
do not carry their state ticker or elect
a majority of the members of the leg
islature at this time.

company will prepare it's bulletins

with the state committees this year as
usual. The Democrats wanted to
compare the vote with that of 1894,
when the Republican plurality was
$4,000 for secretary of state. The Re-
publicans wanted to compare the vote
with that for governor in 1893, when
McKinley's plurality was 81 COO. Supt.
Miller decided to compare the vote with
that Of 1893, because the tickets are the

WHERE THE FAULT LIES.

In the complex machinery of pro-
man plays an important part. Much
as he has been rallied at as a mere
parasite, feeding on the labor of 9TH
ers, he has become more and more a
fixed element in the mechanism of
exchange, and is now the medium
by which the products of the manu-
facturer reach the consumer. The
nation has contracted the habit of
dealing through these men who oc-
cupy the middle ground and levy toll
on the products that pass from the
primary to the final parties. In many
lines, such as the retail merchants,
he Is an Indispensable and econom-
ical factor. He assemblies the multi
tude of necessary articles, many,
perhaps most of them, inaccessible
to his individual patrons, and dis
tributes them with an economy no
other process could approach. Eff
forts have been made to supplant
him through cooperative stores, but
these have failed, for the most part,
mainly because they could not COM
mand the ability needed to conduct
such a business successfully.
But there is one class of middle
io1
has been poured, and whom strenu-
Gus efforts have been made to sup
press. This is the man who stands
between the maker of the implements
needed for the farm and the farmer
who would have them to economize
the cost Of production. He is the ubi-
quitous dealer in farm implements
whose establishment is a feature in
every village in the country. Except
when the candidate is thick in the
land the farmer sees no man so fire.
quently as he does the machine
man." No season Of the year is ex-
empt from his visits. He takes no
vacations. In the winter he comes
offering some implement suited to the
work of that season or to the work
of the spring and summer. During
the summer and fall he is there with
his persuasive tongue and his cock
sureness that there Is no tool that
approaches in all sterling qualities
the one he has for sale. He
is especially strong on the weak
points of competing implements and
modestly reticent about those of his
own.
He is not doing this for his health.
Like all Of us, he is in pursuit Of the
dollar that lies behind the sale. Some
body pays him for this work, and
pays him handsomely. Ostensibly
it is the maker Of the implements.
The agent or dealer does not appear
in the price lists, but he is there just
the same. This has come to be well
understood. Every farmer knows
that in the price he pays for the tool
he buys there is compensation for
the middleman who sells it to him.
He may not know how much it is,
but he knows it must be ample. So
years ago the Grange and the Alli-
ance were formed mainly to get rid
Of this expensive person and bring
the manufacturer and the purchaser
directly together, saving to the lat
ter the portion given the middleman.
The scheme seemed plausible. Why
could not the farmers of any local.
ity unite and buy directly? But the
Grange and the Alliance have almost
disappeared, and their scheme of di-
rect dealing has entirely faded away.
Why? Whose fault was it?
Partly the manufacturers. Notthat
they would not prefer selling directly
to the final consumer, the user, but
they doubted the permanency of the
movement. They distrusted the CO.

NO election in recent years has been
contested with the bitterness and acri-
mony which has characterized the pres-
ent fight, which is looked upon as the
most crucial of the many contests in
which Maryland's Democratic leader
United States Senator Arthur p. Cor
man, has been engaged. Ii is univer-
sally believed that his political future
depends upon the result, and he is TAX

a far greater extent than he has been
known to do for many years. There are
no state issues of consequence, and
national issues seem to have been lost

and the Democratic voters are classi-
ned as being either for or against Mr..
German. The ground upon which
many justify their expressed intention
to bolt the Dmocratic nominations is
that they were dictated by Senator Cor
man and his lieutenant, 1. Freeman
Rasin, the Democratic leader of this
city, ana that they are not
the actual choice of the people.
The "bolters" include many who
have heretofore been prominent in
the ranks of the Democracy, headed by
the Sun, of this city. which has always
been noted for its steadfastnsss to
Democratic principles. Senator Cor
mans well-known antagonism for the
Cleveland administration is being used
against the Democratic ticket, while
upon the other hand the Democrats
insist that this is but pretext, and as
sert that the Republicans are merely
using it in order to carry the state for
its effect upon national elections. 4

choose a successor to Unitel States Sen

OFF YEAR IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Democrats Hope to Cut Down the
Republican Majority.


PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3.-This is
an off year in Pennsylvania politics,
the only state officials TO be elected
being a state treasurer, to serve two
years, and seven judges of the super
ior court, to serve ten years. The call
didate for the Republicans for state
treasurer is Benjamin ]. Haywood, of
Mercer county. at present cashier in
the state treasury. EX-Congressman
3. j. Meyers, of Harrisburg, is the
Democratic candidate. The election
of Haywood is a foregone conclusion,
the only question involved being the
extent of his majority. Last year the
state gave Gov. Daniel =. Hastings
the unprecedented majority of 2l1,00O.
There was a Democratic slump all
over the country then. however, and
nobody looks for such a big Republi-
can gain this year. Conservative estt-
mates place Judge Haywood's major
ity in the neighborhood of 125,000. The
Populist, Prohibition and SCcialistic
Labor parties have also made nomina-
tions for state treasurer, but they will
not figure in the contest, as their COM
bined strength amounts to only few
thousand votes.
What little interest there is in the
campaign attaches to the contest for
the seven superior court judgeships.
The Republicans have nominated the
six men of that political faith who are
at present members of the court:
Judge Beaver, of Center county; Wick
ham, of Beaver; Reeder, of Northamp-
ton; willard, of Lackawanna; Rice,
Of Luzerne, and Orlady, of Hunting
don. These are sure to be elected.
For the seventh place ON the bench
there are six Democratic aspirants,

tel. of Schuylkill; Noyes, of Warren;
