Editor Herald: feel on reading NV
article In Sundays issue that fearing to
seem partisan l did not make nv argu-
ment as strong as l might have done,
especially as a non-partisan friend,
after reading 1t, said to me: THE ideas
are Just and right; but dare you trust
the silver party and Bryan to carry
them oue?" My friend, prefer to cali
that party, as now constituted, "the
party of the people," 1t is their weapon
against the money power and its allies;
many of these latter innocent Of wrong
intentions. But what can we hope to
gain by lengthening the reign of "the
bosses" through the party which honors
and upholds them?
Yes, my friends. we must trust the
plain people," We are in a crisis as
momentous as that of our civil war. Tho

now its tool, W., late record not out
done by the worst days of Tammany.
Its leaders talk of confidence" as the
one thing needful and lacking because
of the silver craze" 1t is lacking, but
it is lacking tor the men and measures
of that party, not fear of silver. 1t is
sound, honest men that the plain people
are looking for, and not men like Quay
and the bosses Of that party. Quay who
carries the Republican vote and offices
of his state in his pocket and has not
(as his lifelong neighbors say) once
carried an "hpnest dollar since he was
an ignorant garbage collector in his
city; but has, nevertheless, received the
public commentator Of his chief at
Canton!

Gladstone Cables Congratulations to the
Salvation Army.

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Commander
Booth Tucker of the Salvation army
presided at a mass meeting in Carnegie
hall tonight, A. ssAwhteiEAar welcome was
given to the S1Rme Nan Refugees. The
Bic audifUrl6m-aNay crowded On the
stage were fifty persons. who were
called refugees.
Telegrams were read from Hon. David
Brewer of the supreme court and sew
asal other rJdistfhsh3shed Americans.
A cablegram from Gladstone, ad-
dressed to DIR. Talhage, was read. 1t
was as follows:
Il rejoice in the rescue of any faction
Of the Armenians from the fangs of the
great assassin. So longp4sthe inaction
Of the powers continues the situation
will be shameful as well as sad, but the
deeds are recorded both in heaven and
before man, and constantly accumulate
ing horrors may work the downfall of
the crying, iniQuity known as the Turk

Resolutions were passed calling on the
government to give the most liberal pos
sible Interpretation to the immigration
laws in dealing with Armenian refugees.

& SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 26.-Col. T. C.
2 Marceau tet7ay secured in Justice Slack S
court his long suoght divorce from his
VIE, Amanda The decree is on the
ground of desertion and was granted ir.
pursuance of Enlargement by which
the husband withdrew the more serious
charges in his complaint. The testi-
I. mony was taken before court commits
: eieher and Mrs. Marceau. although rep
resented by counsel, offered no defense.
The desertion alleged by Col Marceau
was more technical than actual 1t was
shown that while they had not lived
& separate and apart for asyear, desertion
was complete from the fact that for a
long time previous Mrs. Marcean had
been wife in name only.
The transcript of testimony was sub
mitted to Judge Slack some days ago.
The decree followed and marks the
close Of case which promised much
scandal before the parties came to a
compromise outside of court.
No order was made by the court as to
the custv.. of the minor child. TIE
is now in charge of a nurse appointed
BY the. court and will probably so re-
main until the parties agree as to some
other arrangement
Col. Marceau stated that his wife was
/ worth 500 900 inf her own name and ex-
planned that all questions between them
as to alimony and property rights had
been settled out of court.
The herald., 1896-10-27

From the above 1t appears that, al
though the counties of Illinois, outside
of Chicago, gave Cleveland 46 per cent
Of their total vote in 1892, nevertheless
1905 Harrison voters in 1892, and only
6252 Cleveland voters in 1899 responded
to this pretended postal card election.
In Indiana, where the vote between
Cleveland and Harrison was nearly
equally divided Cleveland having Slight
ly the advantage, 15, 1872 Harrison voters
returned their postal cards, and only
5000 Cleveland voters returned theirs.
In Kansas, where there were more
Cleveland than Harrison votes in 1892,
tSol Harrison voters returned their pos
tai cards to the Chicago Record, and
only 2I56 Cleveland voters did the same.
lii North Dakota, where the Harrison
ana Cleveland vote was practically
equal, 692 Harrison voters returned
their postal cards, and only 253 Cleye-
land voters returned theirs Similar re-
suits are observable from the other
states.
OF course, changes by the death of
old voters, the coming of age of new
voters, by emigration and immi-
grafton, cannot here be calculated, but
it is fair to presume that such changes
would not be one-sided, or at any rate
would not be sufficient to account for
the above results. 1t follows that the
postal cards were not fairly sent out,
or else that the Bryan men preferred to
wait until November Sd to cast their
votes for Bryan, rather than run the
risk of sending their votes to the Chi
cago Record, and thus furnish the oppo-
site party with information which NAV
be of benefit to it,,
The above figures are taken and CAL
culations made from the report of the
Times of this date.
Tne results above may be stated in an
other way, as, for instance: Cleveland
carried Indiana in 1892. The Record.
election" shows that in Indiana, there
have been $50 conversions from Cleyc-
land to Mckinley, and 119l conversions
from Harrison to Bryan and yet the
Record would have us believe that Nc
kinley will poll 1S votes to Bryan's :
IN that state. Does any one believe that
an epidemic of disease or emigration
has carried off the Bryan men. or that
the mckinley men are immigrating Ia
Indiana! If the latter, what will be
Mckinleys loss in the states they come
from?
Or we can obtain other startling de.
auctions II we assume the correctness
or the Records election" Indiana
gave Cleveland 7125 plurality in 1892. Thf
totef vote was 553,6l3 In that year, and
oueht to be as large this year. The total
postal card vote" to date is 19,107 n
Indiana, being one-twenty-nint of thu
entire vote of the state, and the Record
Says mckinley gets plurality out OF
that sample vote of 7945. If this is fair
multiply 1t by 20 and we have 1t, accord
| ing to the Record figures, that Mckinley
osn Wdii 40 carry Indiana by a plurality OF
2S0,5S5. This is startling, If true.

EARNINGS OF THE OCTOPUS
Shown by Very Small Surplus for
the Year
But in Comparison With the Deficit of
Last Year the Statement is Con-

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 26.-The an
nual report of the Southern Pacific COM
pany for the year ending June 80, 1896,
just filed with the board of railroad
commissioners, shows a comparatively
small surplus from the years opera
tions, but the results are more satis-
factory than those for the year ending

siderable deficit The earnings and ex-
penses are shown in the report to be
as follows:
