The fact is that he will 90 into this
fight with much more feeling than he has
into any fight against the Republican
party. He will regard it as his duty not
to leave anything undone which might
discourage the support of Bryan and con-
tribute to his defeat. The calculation is
that by confning their efforts to the
States named the third ticket will not
draw many votes from Mckinley, and
that they will insure McKinley's carrying
Illinois. Indiana and Kentucky, with a
probability that he will also carry Ala

Curiosity GratiGed.

When an innkeeper sets up conun-
drum as a sign-board he must expect
to have to answer n good many ques-
tions; but even the most enigmatic sign
does not excuse such rudeness as Il GER
tain American traveller in Europe is
said to have once perpetrated. The
story, quoted in the Washington Post.
is thus told by Minnesota politician:
| was travelling through England and
Ireland on foot with knapsack on my
back, and in company with facetious
friend of mine named Morrison, and in
our wanderings we came to an inn. 1t
was late at night, but by the bright
moonlight we were able to see that the
sign bore a counterfeit presentment of
two asses heads, with this not unfa-
miliar legend over the picture:
When shall we three meet again?
We stood for moment gazing at il.
Then Morrison went to the inner door
and began humping upon it with his
cane, while the echoes rang through
the house | was just going to expos
tulate with him over his unseemly
conduct when an upper window was
thrown open. and the innkeeper thrust
out his head, and in an indignant tone
demanded what in the name of all the
demons we wanted.
That's all right, old man. Don't get
excited" called up my friend in the
most affable voice. "There are only
two asses heads on the sign, and just
wanted to see the other one"
And with that we started up the road.

A FAMOUS CASE.
The Davis VIII Case to Be Reopened In

/"
Montana.
Mrs. Elizabeth Bowdoin of Spring
field, Mass, has filed a petition in the
Eighth district court Of Montana for the
purpose of reopening the famous will
case contest involving the many millions
left by the late Judge Andrew J. Davis.
Mrs. Bowdoin is sister of the dead
millionaire, and she asks the court to
revoke the probate Of the old will, over
which the contest by the Root faction
was carried on for years, and which was
finally admitted to probate about year
ago under some private arrangement for
the division of the estate, but which
arrangement did not include some heirs
at-!aw who had taken no part in the
original contest. Mrs. Bowdoin was one
Of these
In her petition she alleges that the old
will, executed in 1866, in Salt Creek
township, Ia, when Davis was a Door
man, was a forgery; that the body of
The instrument and the signatures Of
Davis and three witnesses were forged.
Inc principal point raised in the petit

revoked, but this will was subsequently
destroyed Mrs. Bowdoin, however,
claims that the fact that it was destroyed

latter was genuine. The estate involved,

As the Maine Republicans Described
and "AdOpted" Him In their Platform
Inst Week

As the Maine Republicans Described
and "Adopted" Him In their Platform
Last Week.
The Republicans of Maine gladly join
with their brothers in other states by pre-
senting to the Republicans of the nation
for nomination to the presidency, the
Speaker of the National House. He needs
no platform save the record of his life.
Under his administration, rs public eff
forts conspicuously show, would be restored
that Republican policy of protection taught
by Lincoln, illustrated by the signal pros
perity of the country for 80 years and
rounded out by the reciprocity of Blaine,
a policy which would be adapted to the
business of the country and adjusted with
care from time to time to the changed con-
ditions. Then, with confidence and pros
perity restored, the revenue will be made
adequate to the support of the government,
and the issuing of bonds ostensibly for the
maintenance of the redemption fund, but
really to meet the deficiency, will cease.
He is opposed to the free and unlimited
coinage of silver except by international
| agreement, and until such agreement can
be obtained he believes the present gold
standard should be maintained.
He has always been uncompromisingly
for the maintenance of the highest national
credit by the utmost good faith toward the
public creditor, not for the creditors sake,
but for the nations sake, for the sound
reason that the most valuable possession of
any nation in time of war or distress, next
to the courage of its people, is an honor
able reputation. Whoever pays with honor
borrows with ease. Sound finance and
certainty at the treasury, and protection
for the producers, will mean prosperity and
peace.
He favors measures for the restriction OF
immigration. He favors just administra-
ton of all pension legislation, and is an
earnest friend of American shipping and
its returning to its former rank in the
world.
He stands for the preservation of the
national honor at home and abroad. Under
his administration the Republican party
can say with him, "And when the time
comes, as it surely will come, for us tC
lead this land back to those paths of pros
perty and fame which were tried under
Republican rule for so many years, We
shall take back with us our ancient glory
undimmed by adversely, our ancient hono
unsullied by defeat.
