"A CORRECT SHOWING.
Larger Per Cent. Of Republican Votes
for Bryan Than Of Democratic
/ Votes for Mckinley.
At This Rate of Gain Bryan VIII Carry the
State of Illinois by $4,000 Majority-
This Ii What the Records ballot
Really shows on Correct
Analysis - Palmer Ii
Not In It

Chicago, Oct 10, lss6.-(Special.) -
Notwithstanding the fact that the bal
lot being taken by the Chicago Record
has been boycotted by the silver men
throughout Chicago and the west, and
that the returns received indicate that
It has been boycotted and ignored, it
shows conclusively when analysed that
Mr.. Bryan will sweep Illinois and the
central western states. The returns
from Cook county, when analysed, as
they have been below, show that he
will carry Cook county by 10000 ma
jority; that he will carry the state out
side of Cook county by $4,000 majority,
and that he will have q total majority
in the entire state of more than $4,000.
While the Records ballot is not fair
test, and cannot be a fair test of the
strength of the silver sentiment in Chi
cago and the country, it shows indus
putably that wherever a democrat is
voting for Mckinley more than twice
that number of republicans are voting
for Bryan.
The following table, taken from the
Record, and Endorsed by the gentle
men in charge of the ballot, proves this
to be true:

Rev. Isaac w. IIiggs has resigned
the nomination of the national party
for governor of Illinois, and has ac-
companicd his resignation with an adj
dress to his party, from which tho
following is taken:
II am also constrained to say that
! shall cast my vote and influence in
support of the Chicago democratic
platform and it's candidates, and would
be glad to have every nationalist III
the state do the same, as believe that.
next to the national party. the demo-
cratic party best represents the inter
csts of the great mass of the common
people, and that in the future the
privileges and the liberties of a free
suffrage to the wage earners of the
nation will largely depend upon the
result of this coming election"
Rev. Mr.. Higgs makes strong ar
raignment of the great corporations
for coercing dependent labor, de-
nounces the political methods of Wall
street, as explained by Henry Clews,
und closes with a strong appeal to the
members of the national party to cast
their votes for Bryan and Altgeld and
free silver.

Alongside of the votes cast for Bryan
and Mckinley is placed the number Of
those voting who voted for the opposi-

that q out of every 100 who voted for
BRYAN voted for Harrison in 1892, while
10 out of every 100 who voted for Nc
,Kinley voted for Cleveland in 1902.
Here is a net gain of eight per cent. for
Mr.. Bryan.
II will also be seen that ten votes are
cast for Palmer to every 100 cast for
BRYAN. This table also shows that
these changes from Harrison to Bryan
and Cleveland to Mckinley are in
favor Of Mr.. Bryan in Cicero and rs of
the "a wards of the city. If the percent

be expected of the voters Of Chi

Tho Intelligence of tho World.

Senator Teller says 1.-The college pro-
fessors of Europe are all on the side OF
bimetallism; the leading European
financiers of Europe-those who have
made finance study-are on the side
of a double standard. and no silver man
need be afraid that the intelligence of
the world is not on his side.
"We fought Great Britain once I'M
der the bimetallic system; we fought
neighboring country under 1t. and we
fought under it the greatest civil war
ever waged."

II gold and silver bullion were money,
why the laws of this and other coun-
tries defining the degree of fineness OF
the metal, the amount of alloy In the
coins. their weight and the value OF
each coin, and making them legal
tender?
The falsehood resorted to by the gold
standard advocates has for It's object
to deceive the American people into
voting for policy by which one-half
of the standard money of this country
was stricken down, thus reducing the
volume Of the mone- which fixed The
values of all the other property. FROM,
$500 100000 to $3.50. OOo. 900; and
making . corresponding reduction In
property values; paralyzing industry,
arresting enterprise, rendering aRri-
culture. the controlling industry Of this
country. unproftable; producing an
amount of ? financial distress never
before known In this country,
and causing tens,a of thousands
Of men TO be denied employment
and their families to suffer for the want,
of the necessaries of life, and causing
those who still have work to work on
short time, and filling the country with
tramps. All this wrong and suffering
in order to increase the value of bonds
and other credits and money In the
hands Of the rich while sinking the
great mass of the people. the working
people, the common people. the real
creators OF wealth. deeper and deeper
into poverty and wretchedness.
viii the people allow themselves to
be deceived by such a device into help
ing to perpetuate the gold standard
policy, and to put themselves into 8
condition of financial slavery to the
money changers and aristocrat5 Of
America and Europe?
The man who talks about 50-cent dol
lars shows his ignorance on the subject;
or, if he is not ignorant. that he is at
tempting by faisehood and fraud to de-
ceive others &c their great injury.
You may inquire what influence l
think the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to will have
on the purchasing power of gold md
silver money. If such coinage shah in
crease the volume of circulating money
the effect will be, to the extent of that
increase, to raise the prices Of commod-
tiles, and in the same proportion to re-
lduce the purchasing power of money.
Stated in another way, 1t will make
property dearer and money cheaper in
proportion to the amount of the in
crease Of the volume of money. And
this is the reason why the plutocrats
SO earnestly oppose free coinage. II Is
their policy and to their interest to
have dear money and cheap property
and labor. While it is to the interest
and should be the policy of the indus
trial classes who make the wealth OF
the country, who have sufficient sup
ply of money to stimulate enterprise
and industry, and make the country
prosperous and the people contented
and happy. And by restoring silver as
part of the standard money the de-
mand for gold will be somewhat reduced,
and il will, to that extent, be less valua-
BILE as compared with the property of the
country. But the free coinage of silver
will cause no serious disturbance to the
business of the country.

Eress soE Rem ettzing silver.
Buda-Pesth, Sept. 20, 1s96.--The I'M
dersigned mem bers of the international
agricultural congress at Buda-festh de-
sire to put ON record the following
facts:
Q) That during the three days de-
bate not one speaker has denied that
the depression in agriculture results
from the phenomenally low prices Of all
the products Of agriculture. tH
(2) That the connection between the
currency and agrarian issues has been
almost unanimously affirmed by the
representatives of agriculture at this
congress.
(3) That the great majority Of the
speakers. ipdepe ndently4p Of their cur
rency views, confirm the opinion of the
leading agricultural authorities, that
there ia no over-production in cereals;
and. therefore. the fall of prices cannot
be referred to over-production.
% That every gold monometallist
speaker has admitted that bimetallism
would raise the price c! agricultural
produce.
(5) That no gold monometaIlist has
used the argument, which used TO pref
udice the position of the bimet lists
namely, that the restoration of silver
to legal tender is a device of indebted
landowners who wish to pay their cred
itors in a deprecated currency.
The undersigned are convinced that
the existing crisis in agriculture can be
arrested by an international settlement
of the currency question. and they
therefore are of the opinion that ii is
the first duty of the various govern
ments to cooperate without delay. so
as to secure a settlement of the cur
rency and exchange trouble.

The democrats are absolutely conf
dent that Bryan will carry Iowa by u.s.
600. In 1892 the state gave Harrison
219,5O3 and Cleveland, Weaver and The
prohibition candidate 222,S88 votes.
The vote is now consolidated on Bryan,
and to it's majority of 1856 over Harri-
son in 1892 must be added a
change of $4,000 free silver republican
votes. The democrats will not lose TO-
900 goldbug votes, and thus confidently
count on a safe majority, and a gain Of
several congressman.

Now, Mr.. Mckinley, suppose you let Us
know In some of your speeches what you
think of monopolies and trusts. You have
heard Of such things. have you not? Do
you think they arc SO Insignificant that
you need not even mention them? You
have made more than half q hundred

about trusts and monopolists, Wall street
syndicates. antitrust laws, the encroach-
ments of corporate greed. Mr.. Mckinley,

We believe that in esssc restoration" of
silver to its Legitimate ONCE - standard
coin Its bullion value will be so enhanced
by tho demand created by its free and
unlimited coinage that no dimculty will
be experienced In maintaining silver at .
parity with other standard money; and so
we denounce as false and malicious the
statements SO frequently made by our OPP
ponents that free coinage means u dollar
of less value than one hundred cents

This was quite to be expected, and the
wonder is that he has been SO slow
sbout it. Cal. Brice and his fellow plu-

MAGIC WORDS.
These In Various Gases Are Supposed to
be Pregnant with Good Luck.

BE Pregnant with Good Luck.
Here are one or two magic words
words that really do things; words that
are endowed with the blessedness of
"Abracadabra: :" The word 'Abracalan"
drives away the ague: keep 1t there
fore about the house. For epilepsy the
word "Anamzaptas" cures a man and
"Anamzapta" cures woman. The
word "Alga" should also be kept about
the house because IL is good in exor-
cisms, and the word "Abraxas" pos
sesses qualities which not even the most
fervent believer can fully comprehend.
If you are attacked by snake, do not
run away, but just say " Osya" and see
what will happen. And il you want a
really all round useful word will give
you one. Get it engraved on ruby,
mounted with gold, and you win have
continued good luck. The word is "Be-
dooh. -
If you want another word, the utter
ance of which brings bad luck, can
also find you one. 1t is word held in
execration by Arabs, Turks and Per-
slams. On one occasion the late Edward
Palmer cleared whole bazaar of its
occupants by repeating this word aloud.
They fed, shrieking and cursing and
looking to see the infdel fall dead on
the spot. The word is - But mol
reserve 1t for mine enemy. I shall meet
him some day. / shall engage him in
friendly conversation. / shall then pro-
nounce the word aloud, and a lamppost
Or a coping stone will instantly fall up
on him. For my own part shall not be
hurt, because shall have "Bedooh" ON
a ruby ring, "Abracadabra" in silver
case round my neck. "Abraxas" in my
right hand pocket, and "Alga" in the
left. Walter Besant in Queen.

CULLOM Is BELLICOsE.

Senator Cullom has become very bel
licose over the Cuban question. He
made a long speech on it in the senate
yesterday. He said he was not disposed
TO criticise President Cleveland, but his
disposition must have undergone a
very sudden change, for he did criti-
else him quite severely.
He said he had hoped for a more
positive expression of the true Ameri-
can continental policy from him. The
senator with the Lincolnesque coun-
tenance should have defined this true
American continental policy" Mr.
Cleveland said all on the subject that
any president could have said, and it
was thoroughly American in every re-
spect. What would the senator have
the people understand by true
American continental policy?" That,
without any special definition, would
usually be taken to mean, possibly, the
expansion of the United States terri
tory and certainly the domination of
United States influence in all matters
pertaining to western world matters,
and this whether other western world
nations liked it or not
The policy that this country has pur-
sued in the past has brought it peace
and prosperity and has made us friends
of all nations. 1t is the policy of minding
our own business. and should be pur-
sued III the future. 1t is the very anti
podes of the idea contained in Senator
Culloms true American continental
policy" His policy is nothing more or
less than jingOism rampant, and it
might cause other American nations
to look upon this government as far
greater foe than any European govern
ment can possibly be to them.
Within the past few years the spirit
of jingoism has been growing with
the American people. 1t was given
tremendous impulse by Mr.. Clevelands
Venezuelan message. Talk about build
ing up the navy and army and putting
the country in a position of safety
against foreign attack or invasion has
very largely taken the place of talk
about building up our commerce and
manufactures. IT is not at all neces-
sary TO be continually telling the ma
lions Of the earth that the United
States are not afraid of any of them;
they are aware of the fact.
But Senator Cullom should not be
blamed too much. He feels very sore
over the action of the ST Louis con-
vention and doubtless feels that any
thing less than both American CONT
nents will not allow room enough TO
vent his feelings in.

A JURY OF EIGHT.

The state supreme court has decided
that section 10 of the state constitu
ton, which says that in courts OF
general jurisdiction. except in capital
cases, jury shall consist of eight
Jurors" not to be in conflict with that
provision of the federal constitution
on the subject of juries in criminal
cases. On this point the opinion of
the court, which is by Chief Justice
Zane, says:
To hold that the authors of the state
constitution intended by the use of the
phrase due process of law" to require
a Jury of u jurors in all cases, would
be to say, in effect, that they intended
to create a repugnancy in that instru
ment. The rules of construction of
constitutional law, as well as statute
law require that both sections shall
be allowed 70 stand and effect be given
to each. We are of The opinion that
they can both stand together, and that
no conflict was intended.
The decision will commend itself to
the common sense of the people. That
a jury of eight in cases other than cap
ital ones is what the people wanted,
there is no doubt. And it is a most
sensible provision,
If anyone has any doubts on what
was intended by the constitutional con-
vention on this subject, all such per-
son has to do to remove them is to
read over the proceedings of the con-
vention when the question was up for
debate The debates upon it were
among the most earnest as well as the
most amusing of all. The amount of
biblical lore brought forth on the SUBJ
