Hon. William j. Bryan was form
ally notified Of his nomination for the
presidency in Madison Square Gar
den, New York, Wednesday night.
His journey thither was veritable
march of triumph. He was received
everywhere along the route so enthu-
siastically, even in Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania, that it looks as if the people,
regardless of past political affiliations
in every section, were going to give
him their support certainly enough
of them to insure his election. The
people are undoubtedly with him
even though all other power is
against him, and it is gratifying to
believe, that they regard him too
much as their special champion, to
be shaken in their allegiance to him
by all the millions which is being
piled up in Wall street to purchase
their votes. That his speech in New
York was mastery effort, and sus
tanned fully his reputation as an ora
tor and statesman, even our contem-
porary, the Baltimore Sun, comedies
and that is enough to say in praise
of it.

VIII Mckinley Carry His Own stateg

Judge r. M. Otter, of Hillsboro,
Ohio, who is gold democrat and
quite active in politics, talked to day
with Star reporter on the situation
in Ohio.
II never saw such situation in
politics before he said. MANY
waves of sentiment have swept over
Ohio; but have neverseen anything
like the present. IN the country dis
tricts the silver sentiment is intense.
Every man you see is loaded with
arguments, and there is no use trying
to talk with them.
1.-The silver men have been reading
everything they could get hold of on
their side of the question, until they
can outtalk Harvey. They are as
glib as possible with arguments which
| regard as false, but which they are
satisfied with, and they will dance all
over any man who says gold. 1t has
become sort of religion with them
and they will not listen to nor toler-
ate opposition. You can't make any
impression on them any more than
YOU can argue man out OF his
religious faith. The thing has spread
so that | regard the result in the
State as doubtful, and perhaps with
the probability favorable to Bryan.
AT all events, it is by no means
certain that Mckinley can carry the
State. The normal republican ma
iority is about $4,000. That is the safe
natural republican majority. There
are about $4,000 populist votes and
90, 900 prohibition votes. Bryan will
probably get 50, 900 populist votes and
5000 prohibition, That is, he will get
the silver vote of these two parties.
I'm the cities there will be con
siderable gold democratic vote for
Mckinley; in the country districts
there will be q large silver republican
vote for Bryan. These may pretty
nearly offset each other, though it
looks as if Bryan would get more
republican votes in the country than
he will lose democrats in the cities.
There is hardly anything but sill
yer talked throughout the State.
The men around the thrashiDg ma
chimes at lunch time, the groups
around the country stores and about
the village hotels, republicans and
democrats head to head, are talking
about the money questions. Men
who never before could talk together
on politics without punching each
others heads, are hand in hand or
are talking the matter over from diff
ferent standpoints in q sympathetic
spirit. If any one says gold, there
will at once be half dozen men to
Jump on him. 1t makes little differ
ence how much fallacy there Is III
their arguments these country folks
think they have mastered the ques
ton, and they can put in ten words
to one OF the man who tries to show
them that they are wrong.
Il had gold bug on my coat: A
farmer came up to me and took hold
of my coat collar and held the gold
bug button up to view. That's the
bug that got into our wheat, he said,
and reduced it so per cent The
rest all took it up and thought it
good thing. There was no sort OF
argument could put up to outweigh
this rustic wit. That sort of thing
goes for argument. Its silver, silver,
silver, all through the country dis
tricts. Washington Star, July 3Oth.

The Fatal Heat in Chicago and New
York.

Chicago, August u.-Chicagos
mortuary statistics were broken yes
terday. Never III the history of the
city were so many deaths recorded in
one day. The total number of deaths
reported was 164, and deaths from
heat prostration 81. Horses are fall
ing dead on the streets with such
rapiditv that they cannot be hauled
away before they become menace
to the public health, and beginning
last night the police were under
orders to use large quantities of dis
lnfectants on such animals as fall
dead in the streets and thus keep
down the stencil and prevent rapid
decomposition. 1t is estimated that
at least LOCO dead animals are lying
in the streets OF the city. The
Weather Bureau predicts lower tenn
perature for to-day, and probably
storms Wednesday night.
New York, August 11.-There is no
abatement in the fatal heat. The
death list continues to grow, and the
hospitals are crowded with cases OF
prostration. 1t is hotter by one de-
gree this morning than yesterday at
the same hour. There were fifteen
deaths and fifteen cases Of prostra-
ton during the night.

The farmers of the Eastern Shore
meet at Parksley to-day, aud the ne
cessity, which brings them together,
ought to insure action of some kind
for the betterment of their condition
With their staple crop now being
vended in the markets of the country
at prices ruinous to them, it will be
folly worse than madness, if they do
not go there, not only prepared to
act, but to stand by the plans which
may be adopted for disposing of their
sweet potatoes and other crops to the
best advantage. 1t is foolish to say,
that nothing can be done. and it is to
be hoped, that the old croakers, who
can see nothing but evil in any move
ment out of the ordinary way will
not be there, but that every other
farmer III the TWO counties, who can
attend the meeting, will do so. With
poverty staring many of our farmers
in the face,in the present condition of
things, something must be done, and
be done quickly. What that some
thing shall be, it will be for those
composing the meeting III their
wisdom and experience to determine.
Experience, however, has taught all
of our farmers some things so well,
that there will be no division of
sentiment as to these things in their
body when it meets. Common sense
teaches all OF us, whether farmers are
not, that if we would dispose of our
potatoes or any other produce to ad
vantage, that somebody must want
them, and that they are more likely
to want them, if they are OF good
quality and put up in attractive
shape. That our sweet potatoes are
OF the best quality no one questions,
but that they are handled by many
OF our farmers so miserably as to de
prive them of much OF their merit is
equally true. If correct in our views
IN this respect, then the first problem
to be solved by our farmers when
they meet will be, how can they be
handled so as to be made so desirable
that consumers will want them and
the answer to it, in our opinion, is
not difficult one. The key to the
problem seems to be furnished by
putting up our potatoes in standard
barrels properly inspected and cor
rectly marked-and concert of action
on the part Of our farmers is only
necessary to secure these ends. Steps
having been taken for the proper
handling of our potatoes, two other
things seem to be necessary to be
considered by the meeting, viz: How
they can be distributed among con-
sumers in the markets of the country
without having to pass through the
hands Of too many lniddlemen, and
how shipments can be prevented to
markets already over burdened with
them. Nothing of course, along any
of these lines, as has been taught us
by experience, can be accomplished
without concert of action on the part
OF our farmers. Will they so act at
the meeting, as to make it possible
for them to profit by these or any
other suggestions which may be pre-
sented TO The meeting? One thing
seems to be certain that they will be
driven later to take steps for the
handling OF their produce differently
from the way in which it now is, and
the present price of sweet potatoes
and the exercise of little common
sense should teach us, that now is the
time for us to begin.
